Dear Max:
You certainly missed the biggest
party you'd ever hope to see by
I going to New York on business yes
terday. Not. that I don't think
business isn't all right in its place,
but there are limits, and the annual
dinner Of the Federation of Civic
Clubs is one OF same.
The banquet happened last night
| in the Mayffower Hotel ballroom,
and the crowd that the luncheon
clubs let loose for the party was
big and happy.
When came into the banquet
hall with my personally selected
bodyguard, the interhigh school
chorus was getting ready to ring
the rafters with America"
Somewhere in the distance, about
Stephan, Kiwanian, presiding, arose,
said q few words, which l missed
III the rush of olive and celery,
and sat down again.
big League Stuff"
Then the Reverend George F..
Dudley, missionary to the Lions,
arose and pronounced the invoca-
ton. No sooner had the solemn
lie
Barnes, the musical director Of the
public schools, lunged wildly with
his baton and the high school
chorus jumped with a vim into the
musical arrangement Of Longfei-
lows Ride Of Paul Revere"
don't pretend to be any kind OF a
critic, Max. but the music was good
and the singing was big-league stuff.
The chorus practically tided US
over the grape fruit, and when the
youngsters were through they were
applauded to the proverbial echo.
At this juncture Harry Honey
Boy" Evans appeared on the stage
at the far end and started the
Civitan Club in its own particular
song. The gang all chimed in on
the second chorus and then the
soup was passed around. Odeil
Whipple, who had been leading the
Civitan chorus, nopped his brow
and dived into, his croutons with
fervor.
Race With Larded Beef.
The Kiwanis and Thirteen Club
songs followed, winning a close race
with the arrival of the larded sir
loin Of beef, etc.
Honey Boy" wouldn't let these
music-lovers rest, however, and they
had hardly got through the string
beans au beurree when he had the
Newcomers up, and the whole party
| sang Washington"
Well, to make a long story short,
the Lions and Rotarians got UP
later, between courses, and sang
the glories of their respective af-
filiations.
The program had omitted, some
how brother, songs by the Opt
nnists and Cosmopolitans, so the
boys, in these two outfits arose
without q word from Honey Boy"
and contributed mean harmony to
the old Sunday School hymn.
There Amt No Flies On Us"
General Stephan was now on his
feet again, to introduce the presi-
dents of the various clubs, who
were seated near him.

characteristic modesty, the general

chief.

who was sitting in the balcony over

He went on to emphasize safe
driving, and urging the crowd to
study the traffic problem more
closely.
Il wish you all might visit the
Traffic Court" he stated.
'"Have q heart!' roared the multi
tude.
Warming up to his subject. Mr..
Eldridge said that two causes OF
traffic accidents were poor head
lights and defective brakes. All
other was hooch.
"I have some friends who take q
drink occasionally" he said, "and
i give them this advice: II you
have had a few drinks somewhere,
don't drive your car. Call a taxi.

Lieutenant Colonel C. o. Sheriff.
and Engineer Commissioner >.
Franklin Bell spoke briefly on local
subjects.
Then Congressman Fred Zihlman
took the floor to tell the boys what
Congress had in mind for the Dis
trict.
He said he intends to introduce
a bill at the next session OF Con
gress to merge all transportation
lines in Washington.
All your pals were there, Max.
and some were asking for you. And
is it any wonder, / ask you, that
the dinner was the biggest Of its
kind when you know who arranged
1t?
The committee consisted of Charlie
Pimper, chairman; Leonard DeGast
f. L. Higgins. Bob Simpson and
Luther Steward.
You can have New York Give
me Washington on a night like
May Il, 1925, regardless of the rain.
Yours truly.

DEALERS DYE ORANGES
TO BOOM BUSINESS

BIRMINGHAM, England, May II.
Painting the lily may be time
wasted; but you can't make fruit
dealers believe that dyeing oranges
doesn't boom trade.
j. F.. Liverseege, public analyst,
is authority for the statement that
fruit hawkers here are dyeing IN
ripe oranges with a solution of
clirysoidine in order that they may
appear ripe. The dye does not af-
feet the orange nor endanger the
consumer.
Maybe the fruit dealers have
taken a. leaf from the book Of the
flower girls Of London, who spray
their violets with cheap perfume
and dye faded white roses into
wonderful red blooms.
