three years director Of Meyer

There probably is not a bet

East than Tupman who, with
Meyer Davis, has coached the
lie Paradis outfit to a degree
where its reputation is nation
wide. This band has recorded
for Victor and has taken several

shortly. This is one of the

Rotary Dinner Dance Hugh Success
From the minute President Jack
tButler) announced the opening song,
"We're here for fun right from the
start" at the Rotary annual ladies
night held Thursday evening, the
18th, at the Episcopal parish house,
until the. last dance was halted to sing
"Ihe end of Rotary Day" there was
fun, nonsense, song and good will,
and nothing else but. E. j. Nordyke
was in the chair and had prepared
lot of special stunts. The introduce
ton of the guests was very clever, in
the course of the evening Theda Bara,
Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford and
other celebrities making their bow to
the audience. Fines were merciless,
and nobody escaped. However, as all
the fines collected went into the COM
munity Christmas tree fund, nobody
murmured.1 There were toasts to
'the perfect husband" and "the per-
feet wife" Walt (Lindblom) gave a
real talk on Rotary" which was in
structive and pleasingly rendered.
Amy's (Rittenhouse) trio, Bert Cole,
Pete Campbell and Billy Ritt himself,
singing three songs at the same time,
was a scream; and Lucile's quartette
singing "All on a Sunday Morning"
with local mention of Jacks bald head
and T. N. T.'s prowess as hunter,
afforded lot of amusement. Sing
ing was led by Amy, Ruth, and the
two Marys-Mary Ruffner and Mary
Stevenson. Solos were rendered by
Ruth Wells and Bert Cole. Rotaryann
Bernice (Hawkins) presided at the
piano for all but the special numbers
AS the crowning treat of the pro-
gram, District Governor Lester (Ruff-
ner) gave an inspiring address on
"The Rotary Wheel which was much
enjoyed and won prolonged applause.
The parish house had been literally
transformed by the clever use of
pines and decorations, the color motif
being enhanced by the artistic ar.
rangement of flowers on the tables.
Barnes orchestra furnished the peppy
music and w. G. Rittenhouse intro
duced some clever stunts into the
dancing. Nearly forty couples, Ro-
tarians, Rotaryanns, and guests en-
joyed the affair.

President f. A. Cotton of Flagstaff
State Teachers college, got a Christ
mas letter last week from friend in
Florida, and this is what he said:
FLORIDA is the chin whisker of the
United States. 1t is six hundred miles
! long, two hundred miles wide, and
three feet high. It is bounded on the
north by the eighteenth amendment
and on the other three sides by the
three-nile limit.
"Florida is inhabited by Indians,
Americans, white men and feed-bag
tourists, sometimes called tin Gamers.
The reds live on the Everglades, the
blacks live On the whites, and the
whites live on the tourists, and the
tin Gamers on the municipal camping
grounds.
"Florida's principal sources Of in
come are hotels, fruits, alligator skins,
tourists and thesbest press agents
cast of California. But the one great
outstanding feature Of Florida is the
fruit; orange raising coming first, of
course. Raising oranges in Florida is
cinch. All that is required is
money enough to live on while raising
oranges.
'The next Florida fruit IS the
grapefruit. A grapefruit is cross
between a lemon, a dose of quinine
and a pumpkin. 1t has the color and
disposition OF a blonde ticket-selIer at
a moving picture show. 1t is usually
eaten at breakfast, thus combining
| the advantages Of a meal and morn
ing shower bath at the same time.
''The tangerine is distinct cousin
Of the orange. 1t wears a loose ano
careless Mother Hubbard style OIL
wrapper, is much easier to disrobe
than the orange, but is of a more dry
withered, and disappointed disposition
when undressed.
"The kumquat is the only thing ir
Florida that lives up to its name. II
looks and acts just the way il
sounds"
Now what do you think Of that ?

TAGS MAY
Be ISSUED IN
PRECINCTS
Traffic Director EIdridge
Studying Plan to Avoid
Jam at Bureau

Plans for issuance of District au-
tomobile tags at all police precinct
station houses, as well as at the
District building next December are
being considered today by Director
of Traffic NJ. O.. Eldridge.
This step is being considered to
avoid the congestion which is re-
garded as inevitable if more than
100000 tags are issued at the Dis.
trict building.
Issuance of tags at precinct sta
tons would mean greater conven-
fence and less delay to motorists.
Much of the work could be carried
on at night in the precincts, so that
motorists would not have to take
time off from their work to secure
the tags.
Wade II. Coombs, Superintendent
Of Licenses, pointed out, however,
that the precinct plan would necesSi-
tate employment of bonded coll sctorS
at each station. He is not certain
whether the plan could be carried
out without specific APPROPRIATION
from Congress, as the present law
provides that the fee for the tags
shall be paid directly to the Super
intendent of Licenses.

REFURNISH|NG
WHITE HOUSE
HELD Up
Plans Anent Bedroom Revanp.
ings Put off Until Some
time in New Year

Plans for remodelling and reflIr-
nish;ng the Presidential bedrooms
in the White House have been sus-
pended for some months to come,
it was learned today.
The original project OF refinishing
the sleeping rooms in advance Of
the return of the President and
Mrs. Coolidge from Swampscott is
no longer regarded as practicable
owing to various delays that have
been involved.
Expert Was Certain
When E. r. F. Halsey, period
furniture expert of the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art in New. York City
visited the White House last month,
he was confident that the restor.
alton of the bed rooms in the
colonial style. as had been determ-
ined by a committee of artists with
the approval OF the President and
Mrs. Coolidge. could be accom-
pIished within a few weeks time,
and that the work could be com
pleted before the return OF the
Presidential couple.
Since that time however, delays
have arisen in connection with the
drawings, of the plans and the selec-
ton of the colonial furniture to
be installed, and as result the
project has been postponed until
next spring or summer.
Other Work Goes On
No information was Forthcoming
today as to whether either the
President or Mrs. Coolidge has
caused some alterations in the
plans drawn by Mr.. -Halsey to be
made, but it is understood that a
number Of conferences to be he'd
with Mrs. Coolidge by Mr.. Halsey
and the other experts on the COM
mittee before any further work is
done on the project.
In the meantime, the routine
work of repainting and refurnish-
ing the White House is continuing.
The entire mansion has been gone
over by the cleaners and painters
from cellar to garnet, and the
White House will be spick and
span by the time the President re-
turns early In September.

He Colides With Con
While Carrying
Liquor

James Proctor, col0red, was
carrying marble to Vermont
when he mounted his bicycle and
made for southwest Washington
yesterday bearing a jar of al
legged corn whiskey.
While he rode aimlessly about
the streets seeking a depot of
disposal he collided with an
automobile operated by Police
man H. E. Ogle, of the Fourth
Precinct. You just know what
happened.
Completing his search of
Proctor, Ogle cut his hand on
the blade of knife found open
in the formers pocket. Proctor
will be arraigned in Police Court
today on charges of carrying
concealed weapons and possess.
ing liquor.
