Can t GrO70 Hair on Billiard Ball

You can't pound a nail with a
sponge. no matter how hard you
soak it,
And likewise. you can't plant
shrubs on the Statehouse lawn,
no matter how hard you soak it,
fertilize it, tease IL, cajole it,
abuse it, plead with it or cuss it.
So says Frank Wallace, State
entomologist.
It's about time for the annual
howl to go up why don't
they beautify the Statehouse
ground?"
Long years ago, about the time
when the third contractor went
broke trying TO build the State
house, the building was complet-
ed and the grounds were levelled
off. First they put down a layer
stone clippings, then a layer Of
stone clippings, then a layer of
plaster, then some brick bats and

some more brick bats. Finally,
when they got the ground level
up TO where they wanted it.
they rooted around and got
about four inches of dirt to cover
the brick bats with.
About ten years later they got
grass to growing and the S.ate
entomologist swears they used
hair tonic. Anyway, the gas
house gang is now engaged in
digging a trench TO lay a city
steam line into the building.
Wallace says anyone who starts
hollering for some more land
scape on the Statehouse grounds
is going TO get dragged around
the corner of the building aud

cake they're trying TO raise grass
on. If he still hollers. says Wal
lace, into the trench he goes.

PRIVATE LUNCHEON
 FOR ROYAL VISITOR
Coolidge Arranging an Informal
 Social for the Prince

Washington. Aug. il.-One of the
 highest compliments in diplomatic
 usage--a strictly private luncheon
 with the executive family-is planned
 for the Prince of Wales upon his ar
 rival in the United States for the in-
 ternational polo matches next month
 at the Meadow Brook. says the Wash
 ington Post today. adding that it un-
 derstands the royal visitor will reach
 New York, August 30, on the Beren-
 garia.
 The princes call at the White House was decided upon, the Post re- iates, after King George had vetoed proposal that he come to the United States incognito, as Lord Renfrew. The king held that international cour- tesy required use of the princes high est title on q visit to the United States, even though it might be only pleas ure trip, and this necessitated ar
 engagements for him to pay his re- spects formally to the president.
 The privacy of the luncheon, one of few functions of its kind in American history, is attributed not only to the mourning of the executive family for Calvin Coolidge, Jr., but to desire to return similar courtesies extended by the king and queen recently to Sec retary and Mrs. Hughes and to Sec retary Mellon and his daughter. Afterwards, says the Post, members of the cabinet and their wives may be in- V1ted to the White House, in a strictly informal manner, to welcome the prince.
 No other cities will be visited by the royal party on this trip under present plans. the newspaper continues, and only one large social function has been arranged, a dinner and dance by Clarence Mackay at Harbor Hill, Sep tember 6, the evening of the first of the series of polo matches for the famous international challenge cup for the American open championship and the Monty Waterbury memorial trophy.
 The prince will be met at New Y ork, the Post adds, by the British imbassador, Sir Esme Howard; J. | Butler Wright, third assistant secre- | ary of state in a semi official capa- 'ity, and Major Ascar N. Solbert. the presidents junior aide and former military attache at the American en- 1assy in London, as the personal and unofficial representative of President Coolidge. The executive also has de- ailed Major Solbert to act as personal tide to the prince during his stay in he United States.
 The royal visitor will occupy the 'ouse of James A. Burden at Syosset, .ong Island, during the polo matches, with Rogers Winthrop acting as host n the absence ofSNIr. and Mrs Bur len, who are in Europe. After the which are scheduled to end September 14, the prince is expected 0 leave immediately for his ranch in 1anitoba.

TERRIFIC STORM RACES
 OVER BOSTON HARBOR
Life Guards Make Thrilling Rescucs When storm O,crturns Hundreds
 of Canoists on Dorchester Bay

Boston. Aug. II. One man was drowned and more than 50 persons
 rescued last evening when an elec- tric storm accompanied by a terrific gale ragged over the city for t5 min utcs and raised havoc with canoes and small boats. Jeremiah Sullivan of Cambridge with three companions saw the menace of the storm while on Dorchester Bay in a dory and raced for shore. When only 100 yards from sliore the wind caught the boat, tip ping it completely over.
 Life Guard Rooney. at the l. street municipal beach nearby, plunged into the water and rescued three of the men and then on a fourth "trip through the high running waves re- covered Sullivans body and brought it to shore. Six other guards were swampcd twice within ten feet of shore when they attempted to run a boat out to the rescue. Rooney was forced to knock two of the men un- conscious befre they would submit to rescue.
 More than 700 canoes were floating about the Charles river when the storm burst with little warning. The padders strove desperately to reach shore as the white caps were whipped up. The Metropolitan police report ed that while 21 of the craft were capsized and at least 50 persons flung in the water there were no drownings The police and other canoests made many rescues.
 The wind tore bunting and flags displayed about the city in honor of the grand army encampment to shreds and did additional damage to crops in the outlying sections already suffer- ! ing from blows dealt by storms of the | past week.
