BUTCHERS WASHINGTON LETTER
s.THERE are going to be a lot

ssrrHERE are going to be a lot
L OF funny speeches in this
campaign" says a dry southern
Democrat, who has held political
control of his state for years. y
I'm some states and many con-
gressional districts it's going to be
pretty hard to explain where we
stand on the national ticket, l
know some candidates who aren't
going to dare say a word all
through the campaign"
Smith and Raskob have said
more than enough to embarrass
many bone dry congressman and
some bone dry senators. All sorts
of tight rope walking and delicate
balancing is necessary when one
promotes his own candidacy as a
dry and that of the national cam
didate as a wet. Some sort OF an
explanation is likely to be de-
manded by dry voters unless the
minor candidate repudiates the
ticket, which few care to do.
Senator Dill OF Washington Is
meeting the problem by explain
ing that Smith is all right on
everything except liquor and that
if the voters will elect Smith and
dry members of Congress like
himself, they can depend on the
said dry members to hogtie Presi-
dent Smith whenever he attempts
to put over any modification legis-
lation. Everything will then be
lovely. Other candidates for re-
election will follow Dill's solu-
ton, stressing the point that pro-
hibition isL't being enforced now,

WAsHINeToN - Governor Al

pose for. the photographers laying
bricks with the remark "That's
bologna" only made it unani-
nous. ~
Hoover won't pose for any "bo.
1ogna" photographs, either. Smith
has posed with his coat off, time
and again, but If the photogra-
pliers ever get Hoover in his shirt
sleeves they can call 1t a good
days work.
Which calls to mind the unfor-
tunate dilemma of the Hoover
publicity staff. These boys have
photos of Hoover fishing and fish.
ing pictures of candidate are OBJ.
yiously fine campaign stuff.
But when Hoover goes fishing
he wears those frightfully tall
stiff collars which he wears at all
other times and it doesn't look
quite natural. All the Hoover
fishing pictures show him with
that funny collar.
The publicity men, recalling
certain strange photos of Calvin
Coolidge as dirt farmer, fisher
man and cowboy, are anxious not
to subject their candidate to any
raspberries for similar cause. Sc
they aren't issuing any more
Hoover fishing pictures until they
see if they can't get the candidate
TO fish just once with a soft col.
lar or q bare neck.

You don't really appreciate the growing scope OF

A dispatch from Los Angeles reveals that more
than S3OOOO0000 was voted for new alrports IN the
United States during the past l8 months Furthermore
there are more than 800 airpOrts now IN commission

THE EVENING STORY

Youngest and sprightliest Of all our
set
Gay smiled when one is n grand
| mother" she said. 'one muSt-nust
behave as grandmothers should"
| But. my dear. Bobby is so young!
What will you do when he is really
grown up?"
oh, WHAT" sighed Gay.
Robert grew apace. He was a heavy
infant, and Irma complained that 1t
hurt her back TO lift him so much.
So Gay did most OF the lifting. She
was very slim little creature and the
haoy's bulk weighed her down after the
manner Of redbird on a reed.
II was Winter by this time and all
sorts of SociablitieS were springing up
among the younger folk. Irma and
! Burr were invited out n good deal, and
they never refused an invitation. Was
not granny always there to stay with
the baby? 1t was SO convenient. Be-
sides. Robert really preferred his grand
mother to anybody else.
Gay" said Mrs. Lyman severely,
I'm going to steal you and take you
to Florida with us. We're going next
week. You're never been there. Now
don't say no."
That's the only thing I can say"
Gay repleO. i CoulQn leave lTNla dllu
the baby. 1t wouldn't be right"
So Mrs Lyman was obliged to go and
leave Gay behind to her Job, which was
growing bigger each day. 1t was not
that Burr couldn't have afforded to
hire help; it was only that the young
people were thoughtless They didn't
realize what this grandmother business
was costing the sweetest woman i'll the
world
They had gone to dance one rather
wild night leaving granny with Robert,
as usual Robert had been troublesome,
but at last he went 10 sleep in her
arms
II was then that the doorbell rang
Gay went with Robert to see who was
there In out OF the storm hoped

with eyeglasses hiding much Of the
tender solicitude in his eyes as he took
in the change in the woman before
him.

night on business. Gay" he said. land
I simply had to come to see you"
I'm glad you did. Edward" she re-
piled. Il haven't seen you since Irma's
father died. You were always such
good friends"
They sat down and began to talk of
old times. She had not seen Edward
Cullam in four years but she remem-
bered him very deeply.
And so you're grandmother now?"

"Old? You?" He laughed. "You lit

place Lent wouldn't have liked that,
and In the next place. don't"
From that point the talk grew more
intimate.
1t was l o'clock when Burr and Irma
came home. They found Granny sit

her face. In the rosy light of the
shaded lamp she seemed young
