Britten Picks Menu After ''Pailettes
Au Frontage" Item Is Deciphered

The 80 members of the Illinois dele
CATION in Congress gave a surprise
dinner last night TO Vice President
Dawes and Chairman Madden of the
House appropriations committee, who
are the most illustrious and powerful
representatives of Illinois in each
branch of Congress, in the Chinese
room of the Mayfiower Hotel-and
thereby hangs an amusing story.
Representative Fred A. Britten Of
Chicago was delegated to take charge
Of the menu for the dinner and had
as vexatious a time as when he nearly
starved to death on board the Levia-
than because he couldn't tell what
kind of foods the high-sounding names
on the menu really stood for. and then
had the ships menu Anglicized so
Americans could read them without
difficulty and would at once know the
difference between stew and hash and
potatoes, eggs and string beans, as he
explains 1t.
The following letter written by Mr..
Britten to the manager of the May
flower Hotel is self Explanatory:
Thanks for your letter accompany
ing two menus for dinner to be held
in the Chinese room Saturday evening
in honor of the Vice President of the
United States and Hon. Martin 3.

MOVIE GAG MAN NOW
RECOGNIZED AS ARTIST
Once Despised, He Has Carved a
Niche for Self in Pic

By the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD. Calf, January g.
/ Inc movie gag man Is coming into his
own. From position of humble use
fulneSs in the slapstick comedy fac
tory he has risen to a position OF dig
| nifty and power in the field Of the
serious film drama.
The gag man used to be the fellow
who, during the filming of a funny
two-reeler. jumped to his feet with
sudden inspiration and exclaimed:
Il have 1t! While the sheriff is
making love to the girl. Charlie hits
| him in the face with a custard pie.
That ought to get a good laugh
| Since that distant era of film humor
| the gag man has had to think up sew
eral new ones. He was ignored by the
| producers of feature films, however,
until comedy stars like Harold Lloyd
! and Charlie Chaplin began making
feature-length comedies. Then some
| one called in a gag man to try his
| hand On a dull drama which every
thing else had failed to save from des-
pondency He injected several comic
| sequences and the result was miracu-
| lous. The sinking story was ref1oated
and made port as hilarious comedy
| drama.
Now that he has been accepted in
| the best OF film company, the gag man
! IS something more than a doctor called
in to- save pictures expiring from
on overdose of gloom. He is assigned
to the picture while it is yet q
scenario and watches its growth care
fully. Wherever possible he encour-
ages the development of subtly
humorous situations, striving for
touches of human interest as we'll as
for the frankly comic turn.

SAN ANTONIO BOASTS
ROBBERIES ARE FEW
Not a High-Class Hold-Up in Five
Years Is Big City's
Record.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, January g.
Down here in the shadow of the old
Alamo folks generally and the police
in particular. have a reputation for be
ing quick on the draw and quicker on
the trigger. But San Antonio, with a
population of more than 900 and a
police department of 1913. has not had
a major robbery in five years.
The remarkable absence of gunner,
safe blowers and others of that portion
of the population is credited to the
fact that there are 25 men on the force
who are expert pistol shots. The whole
force, including the craftsmanship
medal-holding Chief T. o. Miller, en-
gage in pistol practice at regular in
tervals. 1t is said that if officers were
beaten on the draw" they would
hand over their weapons in disgust.
The 1913 persons on the force, which
includes matronS and other attaches,
patrol an area of approximately 80
square miles.
