 He told of the development of the hathtub from the old wooden tut lined with copper. the cast iron tut coated with enamel and standing OH three legs to the more modern built Tn tub of Nitrified china. The old Joke about plumbers forgetting their tools IS the fault of the householder, he said. He explained that people Will phone for a plumber and cry eAcltedly Please come right away. and fix 8 leak,' and then hang up

He advised the Lions in calling for a plumber to say There is q leak in the drain pipe in the bath. room, or the hot water pipe has sprung leak Then. he explained the plumber will know what tools he needs.
 The making of fixtures in the different factories was shown by means of six reels of motion pie lures.
 The climax of the meeting Was the unNciling of the "bathtul beauty with an address by Mir. No- gel. The toastmaster, known as the wit Of the Lions club, had pre- pared an elaborate address, but had not previously seen the exhibit. He began the story with the develop 'hent Of the bath away back in the days or the Ncandcrthal man. so many millions of years ago that no one knc" the date. He brought his hearers closer to the present time, describing various forms .of bathing. including the old Roman baths. He described the scented baths Of Gle opatra and concluded with the fa- nous bathtub party given by Earl Carroll in New York. He stated that an actress, young woman whose beauty was just as famous as that or Joyce Hawlcy had been procured for the occasion. At a signal four husky plumbers dragged in an old fashioned bathtub in which stood life size figure draped in canvas. AS Mir. Nogel finished his address. he gave the signal for the unveiling.
 The result was startling to the club members who were not in on the secret, but a distinct shock to the toastmaster. Instead of a Mack Sennctt bathing beauty as was ex- pected, there was life size paint ing of Mir. Nogel. The head and shoulders had been drawn from a photograph and the rest of the body from imagination. It was instantly recognizable. The drawing was made by a cartoonist for the New Britain Sign Painting Co.

San Francisco. Dec. 18.-(NEA)-
Back in 1914. a little Dutch girl nine
years old slipped into her Sunday
wooden shoes. pulled her best bonnet
over her head and started out with
her mother from Schiedam, Hollond,
her birthplace, for trip around the
world.
When they reached San Francisco
to visit relatives who had strayed
away from the colorful region Of
windmills and bikes, an Austrian
archduke had been assassinated and
Germany had started on q march
through Belgium.
So they decided to stay in Califor-
mia to avoid the unpleasant exper-
fence Of being blown into the water
by some lurking German submarine.
The little girl was Joziena Van der
Ende, now % years old, known to
countless thousands of radio fans as
one Of the most versatile entertainers

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. 18-And now they
would put the pushcarts from the
streets of New York.
It seems that they're unhygienic,
dirty, interfere with traffic and
bother the street cleaning depart
nent.
Which, for all we know. may be
true. But once the pushcarts arc
gone I. for one, don't care to visit
the East Side very often. If push
carts are dirty it is equally true that
they are picturesque, colorful and
even poetic. Yes. they're even SYM
bolic of the ghetto. At this moment
the Department of Health is swinging
into action and one of these days the
glamorous marts of the East Side
streets may be no more.
Orchard street is both king and
queen of the pushcart lanes Of the
ghetto.
In Orchard street the peddlers
squabble for half inch of space.
Their carts are piled high with all
the rainbOWs hues. There are the
fresh green vegetables and the reds,
yellows and oranges of fruits: there
are the myriad-tinted shaWls and
dresses and shirts: there are the little
hills Of cheap neckties; the battered
collection of toys and dolls: there are
the cries of the peddlers and the muir
muir of the thousands Of traders who
clutter the streets: there is the DaW-
ing and haggling and the sound of
bargaining: there are the peoples of
the earth in native costume; there
are dirty children and clean children
and women with bright shawls and
ragged shawls, women with market
baskets and women with bundles. It
is all a grand and thrilling clutter OF
humanity, such as can be found only
in Manhattan'S East Side.

era change to the good grooming Of
an automobile age.
I've lived through a great period,
he says, land few men have been able
to see the change as l have.
Il have watched people progress
from ignorance and lack of informa-
ton OH public questions to keen,
intelligent citizenry. The automobile
and radio and all the speeding up Of
living have made the change
Why, folks used to come here who
didn't know who the president Of the
United States was. You couldn't
blame them. They only got their
newspapers once week, and some
times not then If it was too muddy
to get to the postoffice.
Then Cady chuckled a little
Not that they're any too smart
right now Lots of them come here
wanting to be shown the presidents
suite of rooms or his private office in
the Capitol. They think everything's
here under one roof, and feel cheated
if something's left out
He thinks that women seem to
know a little more about the Capitol
than men do, land ask more intelli-
gent questions. too"
Six of the 20 Capitol guides are
girls. The 20 guides all learn 40
minute speech for the length of their
tour from the Capitols cellar to at
tic. Each guide takes an average
party of 20. They may solicit their
own business and keep the quarter
person, which is their only salary. But
Captain Cady sees that each guide
gets his share OF general business
which the tourist busses bring.
He believes that the majority of
visitors are more interested in seeing
the Senate in session than anything
else
Another thing-he bets that he's
seen more honeymooners than any
other living man. woman and child
And they just waste their half
dollar for the trip, because they
don't see blooming thing" he
summarizes.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Rutherford
B. Hayes was president OF the United
States when B. j. Cady got his job
as guide to show people through the
u. S. Capitol That was SO years ago.
There were only three guides then.
They counted it a good day when
there were a dozen people to show
through the nations business house.
Today. aged II. Captain B. j. Cady
does little actual guiding himself. He
merely acts as starter" for his 20
guides. seeing that each gets his or
her share of the several thousand pco-
pie from the four ends of the earth
who come to see Americas Capitol
every day
And Captain Cady wouldn't swap
jobs with anybody else on earth! One
learns a livable. workable philosophy
from rubbing shoulders with the
great, he says.
He has learned that the truly great
are humble and human-that the
crouch and the critic and the unap-
proachable one is not sure Of him.

in mantle Of superiority.
I've seen great men lying in state
on that little white star" said Cap
tain Cady. pointing to the star in the
exact center of the Capitol where the
dead presidents lie in state.
I've watched thousands Of people
streaming by with tear for such
men as Mckinley, Harding, General
Logan, the Unknown Soldier, and it's
made me feel that greatness and hu-
mannesS always go hand in hand
Twelve presidents have shaken his
hand since that day in 1873 when he
got his job and he's known the COM
ing thirteenth for long time.
"Hoover's another human one" he
says.
He has seen the dozen tourists of

they fill the family baby buggy with
