We're giving a party next June
the biggest house party ever given on
American soil. The invitations have
been accepted and the guests are get
ting ready to come.
Do you realize just how big this
party is going to be?
You know, of course, that about
400, 900 persons are expected, Shriners
and their families and guests. And
that is almost the present population
of Washington.
But-do you realize that il all the
hotels in New York city were moved
bodily to Washington overnight. they
would not be able to take care OF this
crowd?
Do you realize that about half of
the Pullman cars in the United States
will be at our front and back doors
during the party?
Do you realize that We have to I'M
port more than $4,000 walters just to
attend to the dining-room wants of
our guests?
Do you realize that the hens OF
seven states will be kept busy laying
eggs just for their breakfasts?
Do you realize that if we parked
their automobiles end to end they
would reach from here to Philadel-
phia?
Do you realize that IL the entire
party were formed into parade line
1t would take that line about three
days to pass the White House?
Do you realize that 100000 persons
will be dancing In step at one time on
Pennsylvania avenue?
Do you realize, that 5000 special po-
licemen Will be required to handle the
crowds?
I thought not. Neither did I.
AS we said, 1t is the biggest party
ever held in the United States. The
worlds fair at Chicago saw no such
crowd at any time. The Hudson-Ful-
ton celebration at New York at
tracted only three-fourths the number
that ds coming to Washington.
No Inauguration has ever brought
to washington such q mighty host.
Never before have the railroads been
called on to haul so many people at
one time to one place.
The nations transportation system
will be weeks getting back to normal
after the party is over. Every avail
able bit of passenger equipment in
the country will feel the strain.
Five thousand Pullmans is the esu-
mate of the number that will roll into
Washington during the advent OF the
throng They alone would fill the
double track from here to Baltimore,
with hundreds parked on sidetracks
along the way.
Twelve hundred of these cars will be
parked, with heaven only knows how
many diners-a miniature city on
wheels--in the Washington and Alex
andria railroad yards. In these a small
fraction of our guests will find food and
lodging.

A sparrow on the window sill
In jaunty pride came balancing,
He f1ourished gayly in his bill
A shred Of common wrapping string.
And all his manner plainly said:
What wonderful success Is mine!
Let each in envy bow his head,
For I have found a bit Of twtne!
"Now luxury shall Join with taste
To furnish me a proper nest.
I have enough and some to waste
OF what all birds esteem the best.
It is my very own by right
Ny treasure shall not resign
Without a stern, relentless fight,
For have found this bit Of twine."
Oh, man Of empire, man Of power,
With treasure coveted by all.
Give welcome in this springtime hour
Unto your comrade staunch, though
small.
Let's spread the news; a mine has
paid;
A railway holds rival line;
A fortune has been gained in trade;
A sparrow's found a bit of twine.
An Attenuated Consolation.
The profiteers our purses flout,
But hope the heart still CLEANS;
The dandelion soon will sprout
And we can live on green's.

in disclosing the required majority In
the Senate favorable to President
Harding's proposal, with a prepon-
derating sentiment among republican
senators.
There is a recognized irreconcilable
group of republicans In the Senate
opposed to anything even squirting
fayorably toward the league of ma

that 1t shifts as IL scented with the
odor Of the league, which to them is
anathema.

they may have.
Wide attention has been attracted
to tho utterapce OF Franklin D.
Roosevelt. who was candidate for
Vice President on the democratic
ticket in 1920. suggesting the possi-
bility Of revising the league Of ma
tions by way of a plan which would
make 1t agreeable for the United
States to join. His statement was
made after a conference with former
President Wilson, whose confidence
he is known to enjoy; and while
there may have been no connection
between the conference and the an
noupcement, everybody knows of Mr.
Wilson's passionate devotion to the
main principles of the league.
One suggestion which has been put
forward as the governing principle OF
any proposed revision OF the general
scope of the league Is that 1t should
not be Q coercivo agency, but q per-
mauent board % concjlla&lon.

Mr.. Brisk was the first witness. He
testified that he owned the houses at

rent from her for about six months.
Mayor Tebbetts asked Mr.. Brisk a

need FOR UNIFORMITY
IN BUSINESS LAWS
How Collection of lust Debts
! May Be Prevented by Differ.
j ing State Statutes.

An effort to bring about better
coordination and greater uniform.
ity among state laws dealing with
business and banking is being
made by the American Bankers
Association.
1t is pointed out that although
the country is a unit commercially,
and citizens Of any one state may do
business that reaches all over the
country. most laws governing bust
ness transactions are made by the
different states, with application
limited to their own local jurisdic-
lions and often in conflict with
laws in other states. 1t is held
that state laws should be uniform
so that the same transaction will
not be subject to different sets OF
rules according as state laws differ.
To illustrate the disadvantages
of conflicting laws, the following

Not only the humanitarian side appeals

there will be the many people from

ElmwOOd Manager
Talks to ROtarians
Upon OCCUPATION

At the regular Rotary luncheon
held yesterday at the Elmwood hotel
William Cook, manager of the Elm
wood and also Rotarian gave some
interesting facts on the management

Mr.. Cook said in part: People
do not realize what complex, in

exist solely for the purpose of rem
dering service. They are impressed
by the grandness in the atmosphere
OF prompt courteous service which
they receive.
During recent years American
hotels have undergone more far
reaching changes perhaps. than any
other kind Of business. caused by the
passage Of the Prohibition Amend
ment, being obliged to operate on a
very different plane. The bar was
the average hotels principal source
of revenue: the other hotel depart
ments could run at loss and still
the whole would show a profit. The
hotel manager must now run his
business more efficiently, eliminating
waste, to overcome the loss of in
come caused by the absense of the
other source of revenue.
THE hotel business is looking for
young men today. 1t is hard work.
for a hotel manager must have a
thorough working knowledge of
many departments and the only way
to get this is by working in these
himself.
"Some Of the requirements are
honesty. executive ability, diplomacy
and tact in handling employees. Most
important of all is the ideal Of per-
feet service in all the departments.
There are four rules that
make friends and boosters for
a hotel: Number one is: No
