situations. Few are left for the
public at large, few, relatively,
that is, in proportion to the de-
mand.
This year the President and Mrs.
Coolidge did not attend, but the
event was duly solemnized by the
attendance of the Secretary of the
Navy, his wife and staff, and a
like retinue that accompanied the
Secretary of War.
So bold of late have become
those who seek admittance to this
scholastic classic, that there are
those who are not above request
ing the seats originally set aside
for the President and his group.
This year, in fact, n yearnlng
citizen, to whom this athletic com
bat must be as meat and drink
wrote a lugubrious letter to his
Congressman to say that II the
President did not intend to go, he,
the constituent, would be glad to
use his ticket. More in jest than
in earnest the letter was passed
on to the White House. The Presi,
dent, doubtless to the utter aston
ishment of the recipient, forwarded
two choice tickets.
Senators and Congressman are i'm
portuned for weeks in advance for
the privilege of receiving treasured
ducats, and few yield. Others con
slider the opportunity to e the
game n of the choicest perquis'
ties of their office, and there are
those who have been known to
pay off small political debts ano
obligations in this wise.

these subjects each day. In some
schools drawing is taught during
the cold months and penmanship

the cold months.

When he went to Washington the

not at him, and not because OF

CLOSE-UPS In THE
NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen James,

One government job will not be
filed by the incoming Congress.
1t passed entirely out of existence
with the death of its holder.
When Joel Grayson, 60 years
old, in charge of the House docu-
ment room, passed to his reward,
there passed also the only single
position not of executive impor-
lance created by special act OF the
Congress. The text of the legis-
lation making Grayson's job read:
"For the employment of Joel Gray
son in the House document room"
Grayson had seen 81 years Of
continuous service at the Capitol.
More than 40 years ago a special
act authorizing his permanent en-
ployment in the document room
was passed by Congress, assuring
that body of his services until the
Great Reaper claimed him, and,
incidentally, assuring Grayson con-
tinuous employment for a lifetime.
was the only person on the
pay rolls Of the Federal govern
ment. whose salary was appropri-
ated from the Treasury in his W
name.
Later, after this special act Of
Congress, Grayson was cited by
another Congress for his peculiar
ability, being called n Of the
most valuable employees of the
government.
Grayson was a human index.
His memory retained a knowledge
Of more than half a million docu-
ments filed in his department. He
could recall offhand all the famous
speeches, papers and documents
of the last half century, and, what
is more important, knew where to
find them
Only one employee has been on
the hill longer than Grayson. He
is Andrew Smith, of the Congress
sional Record department, who as
sumed his duties about a month
before Grayson went into the docu-
ment room.
Grayson's task was not the
SNAP it would appear to many
to be. Frequently immediate ref
erence to previous laws, speeches
and documents must be made. 1t
is said he rarely failed to produce
the needed information.

Statisticians have found that ten
dollars worth of property goes up
in smoke every time the clock
ticks. The remedy does not lie
in stopping the clock, either. It's
the matches, lamps, electric wires,
stoves, stove pipes, chimney fues,
trash piles, pipes, cigarettes and
explosives that need careful atten-
ton. Cold weather and heavy fires
bring a time of special fire danger.
