DEAN OF DIPLOMATS
QUITS WASHINGTON
Ambassador JuSSerand Feel
ingIy Takes Leave After
% Years of Service.

Ambassador Jusserand of France
left Washington yesterday after %
years of diplomatic service, with a
warm, spontaneous au revoir yelling
toward him from an unusually large
crowd of the Capitals residents, who
had come through the decades, to
know him as a friend.
Conscious of the part he had played
for so long in keeping intact the ira
ditional friendship between the two
republics, and remembering the dig
ntfled and enlightened manner in
which he headed numerous foreign
missions here, official. diplomatic and
private Washington gathered at the
station in an effort to express the
regret and sense of loss his retire
ment has caused.
Duties Ended Yesterday.
The veteran diplomat, dean of the
corps in Washington, had already
made his official goodbye calls and
had completed those Of a more private
nature during recent weeks, leaving
him with no last-minute duties to per-
form yesterday, so he spent his last
hours here quietly at the embassy.
The crowd that gathered on the
station platform TO bid him good bye
was surprisingly large, however, and
gave abundant testimony of his popu-
larity. About a quarter of an hour
before the departure OF his train, the
platform was already filled with the
stats of embassies and legations pre-
senting a diplomatic spectacle, such
as is rarely seen except at White
House receptions.
In addition to the diplomats, Sec
retary Weeks had already arrived to
wish his old friend goodbye, and
numerous other officials were on hand
for a like purpose. ...
Escorted to Union station.
Only a few minutes before the de-
parture of. the train NJ and Nine.
Jusserand arrived, accompanied by
Joseph c. Grew, Undersecretary OF
State, and ]. Butler Wright, Assistant
Secretary of State. With them, came
also a large group OF. friends, includ-
ing former Associate Justice Joseph
McKenna and number of Senators
and Representatives who had Joined
them in the waiting room.
Their arrival brought the crowd
waiting on the platform surging for
ward in the hope of a final hand
shake or a word of farewell. The
time was short, but the retiring Am
basSador and his wife did their best,
and proceeded slowly to their car,
where HuutIOuS DOu4uclS Adu DtSIl
placed by admirers
The train was on the verge of start
ing when they reached their COM
partment, and the hiss Of the engine
gave the signal for the outburst of
cheers that sent them finally on the
first stage of their journey home.
Their schedule called for :. brief stay
in New York, visit to friends III
Boston, and then, January %, de-
parture from New York for France.

evening last week we were able to
tune in eight organ programs In
the short space of one hour. Not
that we dislike organ music. Far
be it from such. There is nothing
more beautiful over radio than an
organ, but why give us all OF it on
one night?
Among the orchestras that are
providing music for the patrons of
hotel bathrooms and we listeners who
are not patrons. mention should be
made Of Gene Goldkette and his ag-
gregation, who provide dance music
for both patron and radio fan
through State WWJ every Thursday
evening.
What has become Of XIV? Dur
ing the past several weeks we have
been unable to get any results from
this old standby. The signals have
been SO weak that it is almost i'm
possible to tune them in.
II we did not know that sthis WIS
1925 we might, when listening to
KFNF at Shenandoah, Iowa, easily
imagine ourselves carried back .abotst
( fifty years into the eighties. For
novelty and oldfashioned music
KFNF is several Jumps ahead of any
other station in the country. The
best thing about KFNF is that they
themselves are unaware Of their de-
iightful backwardness.
When radio fan tunes in these
fine evenings that has prevailed dur
ing the past week he really travels,
he is borne on the air to almost
every section Of the country. We
are actually becoming acquainted
with the voices OF our country,
thanks to radio.
