Mrs. AIUin T. Hert Is an Absentee
At Meeting of National Committee

Republican Vice Chair
man Is Remaining at
Place on Mackin &C

When the Republican ma

day Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice

mac Island, where she has
been since early in the sum-
mer. She is expected, how
ever, to return to Washing
ton early next month and
open her apartment at 1855
Massachusetts, Avenue.
Unimportant
Since there is nothing Of Inn
portance-as far as the women
are concerned--to be discussed
at this meeting, there was
really no need for Mrs. Hert to
brave the heat of the Capital
in September. And inasmuch
as she is unconcerned about
continuing her present position
as vice chairman, there was no
need for her to make charac-
ter" by coming.
New Officers

Pratt arrived late yesterday to be
present at the meeting today in
her new role as committeewoman
from New York-having been
elected recently to succeed Mrs.

against the stand of the Hoover
Administration on prohibition and
to be free to give her time to the
formation of a national organiza-
ton to work for a change in the
present prohibition laws and prac.
tices.
Mrs. Pratt will remain here only
for the meeting of the committee,
after which she will return to her
country estate at Glen Cove. L. l.,
to stay until Congress Is In ses-
sion. when she will again be estab.
lshed at Evermay, the famous
Georgetown estate which she has
leased for three years.

 Tuesday night during the rain many newspapermen were trans- ported about town by business men who noticed their badges and picked them up on street corners.
 Sunday the Rotary and kiwanis clubs called for 60 cars to transport the guests from the station to their hotels. More than 200 responded. Business men left their stores and offices at ? o'clock Tuesday after noon to transport the guests to the docks. and at 6 o'clock returned them to their hotels.
 Plenty Eats For Boys
 skee ball alleys and movies are open to the marble shooters at all times.
 In the hotels the only thing that seems to worry the head walters is the fear that the boys will not get enough to eat. Double portions of dessert and at least two kinds are the rule at most meals. including breakfast. All bath houses, inclu l. ing rental of bathing suits, are free to the boys and their escorts and lockers have been assigned for the week. The two exclusive golf clubs have issued guest tickets to all newspapermen and women, and the boardwalk rolling chair company has sent out cards entitling the holders to the use of chairs at any time.

 Wednesdays games were played in light rain which followed an all night downpour. Heavy waves on the ocean caused the dropping of plans for deep sea fishing in the afternoon.
 Wednesday Dominic and Johnnie went bathing in the ocean. Dominic is somewhat more cheerful since he has been congratulated upon his playing.
 Playing off the tie was the last game. Dominic will play in this tournament. Last night as guests of the combined civic clubs and Chamber of Commerce, Dominic and Johnnie as we'll as the Herald cor respondent joined the rest of the party at a banquet at the Ocean City Yacht club headquarters.

 Some instances of Ocean City's attitude towards it's guests: A party of five newspapermen and boys started to walk to the business cen- ter. They asked policeman how far it was. Nine blocks if you tried to walk it," said the police- man. but wait a moment" The policeman called to the captain of |. s. coast guard corps, Hey. Cap, these boys are on their way down town" A few minutes later a coast guard automobile took them to the.r destination.
 A newspaperman went into the largest sporting goods store in the city to see if he could rent some fishing tackle. You cant rent any, but we'll see that you get all you need" said the proprietor. Several outfits were sent to the Anglers club. the most exclusive fishing club on the boardwalk. The pier was thrown open to the guests. The i city piermaster himself gave his i time to teaching the boys how 10 fish from the pier. while the sport ing goods dealer. and two fellow Ro- tarians, a real estate man, and the owner of a large proportion of the boardwalk property stayed on the pier until midnight helping the am1- teur fishers.
