TRADE BOARD IS
OFF On GOTH
SHADE BAKE
Despite Heavy Skies 100
Members and 100 Guests
Embark for Quantico

Off on their annual shad bake,
700 members of the Washington
Board Of Trade and more than 100
guests braved the dangers OF the
whitecapped Potomac river today in
a run to Quantico. expecting to dock
at the Seventh street wharf some
time before midnight. 1t was the
thirtieth annual outing Of the or
ganization and, despite the heavy
clouds which draped the skies this
morning. promised to be a gala at
eair.
Wearing linen busters, and left
over Hallo'en hats and sporting
pink carnations, the shad eaters
began arriving at the wharf shortly
after sunrise, although the start
was not scheduled to take place
at the scheduled time, the ex-
cursionists leaving word behind
that those who failed to make the
boat could run down to Quantico
by autos and get there in time if
they hurried.
According to plans as announced
by RiclISrd l.. Conner, assistant
secretary of the Board Of Trade,
dinner will be ready on arrival at
Quantico. 1t was promised there
would be plenty Of Chow" and that
no time limit would be placed on
the eating. Just before the st.
Johns steamed out into the river
large case of toothpicks was re-
ceived aboard. It was explained
they would come in handy in chas-
ing the fine shad bones out from
between the teeth.
Senators Present.
Among the guests were many
United States Senators and Con-
gressmen who took the day off
with the assurance they would be
far enough away to escape the
Sergeants of Arms sent to round
up members for required quorums.
In addition. the diplomatic corps
was well represented, as was also
the army and navy. The entire
executive department Of the District
Government will attend the bake,
going down, however, by automo-
biles in time to arrive for the
spread.
I'VE are off for a days fun and
we will get all we want of it be-
fore we get back" declared Secre-
tary Conner, while handing out
tickets at the wharf to those ar.
irving ticketless.
1T is not going to rain and IL it
does that will not put any damper
ON the program. Everything IL all
set for one big day, and about the
only thing that can crimp it will
be Tor the Potomac to dry up or
Tor Quantico to slide down to
shore before we catch up with it,"
1t was Hello Bill, Hello Jim.
Where's Tom," with the assurance
that the bunch was en- route. from
the time the excursionists began as
sembling until the start was made.
Apparently the men were deter.
mined to make the thirtieth annual
outing a huge success, for they an.
peared wearing their play clothes,
happy smiles, and ebullient spirits.
Mans Diversion.
or course, it was a stag party.
Shad bakes conducted by Boards Of
Trade always are. Just why, none
OF the Board Of Trade members
would commit himself in saying.
You see," as one said, "a Shad
bake is a mans diversion. l never
got in on one that was graced by
the ladies. 1t would be an innova-
ton and you can't take chances
with the thirtieth annual, can
YOU"
Practically the entire membership
Of the Board of Trade, including of.
Ulcers and clerks are in the party.
