LIONS FEASTED
AT PARCO HOTEL
THURSDAY LAST

On Thursday evening of last week
the members of the local Lions Den
gathered in force and stormed the
dining room of the Parco hotel,
where it was found that Manager
Fiser had prepared a splendid lunch
con in anticipation of their coming.
The members and their guests
were seated shortly after 1880 O'Clock
and proceeded to enjoy the several
delicious courses to the tune of some
select jazz numbers rendered by a
colored orchestra who had been en-
gagged for the occasion. Cub Bible.
who acted as tail twister, was in
rare form and found numerous and
diverse excuses for filming the Cubs
with the result that the club treas
ury was enriched by several dollars.
Cub Ed. Smythe was in charge of
the program for the evening, and
President Brimmer turned the gavel
to him Immediately after the lunch
con proper. The program consisted
of musical numbers interspersed with
short talks by H. B~reitenstein and
Cub Higley.
Miss Emma Johnson. accompanied
by Miss Josephine Phelan, sang for
the club in her usual splendid man
ner, and her numbers were highly
appreciated by those fortunate
enough to be present.
The Paro Quartet fairly outdid
themselves with the selections chosen
for the occasion, and as usual were
released with the greatest reluctance.
Cub Higley spoke briefly on the
fellowship phase of Lionism, and in
response to these remarks Mr.. Brett
enstein, who represented Parco in the
absence of the other Parco officials.
expressed at ONE length his con-
ception of the inherent mission of
similar organizations in developing
and stimulating friendliness and
goodfellowship among men from
both a local and an international
viewpoint.
Brit" also spoke OF numerous
plans which the Parco people are
now entertaining for the development
of southern Carbon county, and
strongly minated that there were
important developments now pend
ing along this line of which he was
not now privileged to- speak.
Altogether the meeting was one
of the most enjoyable affairs ever
participated in by the local club.

had a narrow escape, one bullet graz
ing his mustache. carrying some of
the hair with it. NJ Iltcheff, direc-
tor of the Sofia Museum, passenger
in the royal car, was killed, as well
as a servant, and the chauffeur was
wounded.
In some quarters it is believed that
the assailants were not aware that the
King was in the automobile and that
the attack probably was connected
with an atteIppt by bandits to plumber
an omnibus, carrying passengers and
mails, the Kings car just happening
to come by at the time.
When the chauffeur fell out of the
car the King took the wheel and tried
to go on, but finding the motor would
not start he jumped out and tried to
return the fire of the attacking party,
his attendants at his side.
The identity of the assailants is not
known.

When ii comes TO upSettng cher
ished plans of his Cabinet and cutting
down their expenses, Calvin Coolidge
proceeds with a detachment that at
times appears absolutely ruthless.
His economy program has the same
right of way as a railroads crack
flyer. 1t comes first. Personal friend
ships and wishes take second place.
They have held this relation since the
beginning, since the first day Cool
idge sat down at the Presidents desk
DENLY, away back at the beginning
of the Coolidge administration, had
some ideas about spending money to
make the Navy more efficient. Lord,
the budget director, cut Denby's esti-
mate SIC, 900. DENLY being out of
town, young Theodore Roosevelt. act
ing Secretary. went to the White
House and to the assembled reporters
delivered himself of several caustic
comments on cheese-paring and the
like. Then he saw the President.
He went away much more quietly
than he arrived. The cut stood and
Roosevelt kept his peace.
Hoover has virtually remade the
Foreign and Domestic Commerce Blu
reau. In extending our foreign trade,
he and his capable bureau head,
Julius Klein, are doing a job the like
before. But it costs money, much
money. Regularly they ask for more
money and regularly Lord cuts down
their requests. And just as regularly
the President sustains the cut.
Coast Guard Feels Tightening.
Mellon set out to abolish Rum Row
He and his assistants took stock of
the unchecked flood of struggled
liquor beating in with the Atlantic
tides. They had but one agency to
check the f1ood-the Coast Guard.
And the Coast Guard had only a do
or-die spirit-little else. 1t had no
boats which could be spared from
other pressing duties. 1t had no IA
cilities. All it had was the authority.
And Mellon might as well try to sweep
back the flood of liquor with a broom
as with what he had when he de.
termined on his course.
So Secretary Mellon and his assist.
ants, including specialists from the
Coast Guard. worked out a program
OF their needs. They figured on
launching a new little navy for the
Coast Guard. They wanted some more
Coast Guard cutters anyhow. and they
figured that after the job off the
coastline had been done and Rum Row
had become a memory, the new little
navy would come in mighty handy
for the Coast Guards other regular
work.
All of which was sound business
and costly. When they had put down
all the boats they needed and all the
men required to man them and all the
shot and powder and foodstuffs and
gasoline and other things that made

view of Coast Guard officials, are
utterly unsuited to the kind of war
fare that fighting smugglers calls for.
They didn't want the Shipping Board
vessels as a gift, and in the frank and
open language of the sea they said so.
But II took two days to convince Lord
that their point was well taken.
Dismiss the Idea.
Very we'll" he finally agreed. 1--WE
will dismiss the idea of using Ship
ping Board vessels
And then they settled down to a
discussion of the original estimate.
by the way" said the budget di-
rector presently, 1.-The Navy has 200
destroyers tied up. They are pretty
good boats, imagine, for such fleet
as you want. They can make 80
knots. you know. Besides, they have
other advantages. One of them is
economy. How about using them?"
Now that was something else the
Coast Guard hadn't either figured on
or wanted. However, the meeting ad-
Journed so that the Coast Guard men
could study the proposal. In the end
ii was adopted, although some Of the
enthusiasm had departed, and Gen.
Lord went again to the President s
desk.
Here is the estimate for the dry
navy, Mr.. President" the budget di
rector said. 1--WE managed to cut il
from s3o,oOO.oOO to $13,0oO,OO
The cut stood-a saving of SIT 900,

estimate to Congress, Congress passed
the necessary legislation, the Navy

Mr.. Huggings, lis not a benevolence,
1t is a right, and a duty"
Rev. Freeley Rohrer, in his report of
the Capital church extension commit
tee, announced that the general council
of the church had authorized continu-
ance of the survey of Presbyterianism
in Washington by the National Capt.
tai Presbyterian Commission. Among
the proposals before the committee
and the commission are those for
building additional church units in
Washington, and the prospect of a
national Presbyterian building here.
DIR. John S. Marquis. secretary of
the Board of National Missions of the
church, was quoted by Dr. Rohrer as
saying that in 20 years Washington
probably would have a million popu-
lation, and it was a problem for the
national board to find where the
people were going to locate and
where new church units should be
built.
DR.. II. n. Fulton, reporting also
for the local committee. declared that
Washington was facing a "tremen-
dous suburban development" and
recommended several specific sites
near the edge of the present city,
which he predicted should be pur-
chased by the church, as a good in.
vestment and as the logical places
for the churches of the future"
The semi-annual meeting in Octo-
Der, it was decided, will be held in
Gunton Temple Memorial Church.
Reports of various brapches of
church activities for the local Pres
bytery occupied the afternoon SEES
sion. and the annual meeting closed
in the late afternoon.

the cost and struck a figure some
what in excess of $30,000,00O. That
was a modest enough price for a
brand new navy, so Secretary Mellon
stuck the papers in his pocket and
walked over to the White House.
There he sat down with President
Coolidge. In the overworked par
lance of the day, Mr.. Mellon sold the
strong for the new little navy and
said so.
About Cost.
How much will it cost?" MIR. Cool
idge asked.
About $50, 900, O00."
Leave the papers with me, please,
the President requested.
Soon after Mr.. MELONS departure
the White House sent for Gen.
Lord. President Coolidge handed him
the Mellon memoranda.

take these and look them over. L like
the idea, but 1 don't like the cost.
Maybe you can cut it down. Try to
do SO, please, and let nfe know how

Lord took the papers and mulled
over them for several days. Then he
called a meeting-a hearing, Wash
ington has come to call such gather
ing--and asked the Treasury people,
including the Coast Guard, to justify
their estimate. They were ready, for
having trained with Gen. Lord on
previous occasions they had come to
know the power of his blue pencil.
They had thought it all out in adj
vance and proceeded TO tell what they
had in mind.
