Lures the Dancers

Do you remember in the good
old days when it was great sport
OF a summer evening to ride out
to Chevy Chase Lake and listen
to the band concert?
Perhaps you are not that old,
but certainly every one who has
spent enjoyable nights at the
Lake in past years, will be in
terested in knowing that Chevy
Chase Lake is enjoying all of it's
old time splendor and popularity
this summer as one of the incest
places to dance, in or around
Washington.
Music for dancing is furnished
by Barnes Thompson and his Am
oaSsadorS of radio fame. Their
versatility and special arrange
mentS of modern music makes
CheVy Chase Lake a nice place to
dance these summer evenings.

In 1873 communities, by actual poll,

found that music hall attractions

Proposed

Wednesday President Hoover
had a birthday.
Thursday he made his accept
ance speech, in response to a not
wholly unexpected notification
that he was again the standard
bearer of the G. o. P. Also, the
White House scribes ate as guests
of the notification committee.
Today RKO starts its Greater
Show Season, which will run on
till September Is.
Now if that isn't excitement
enough for one midsummer
week, what more could be asked?
This Greater Show Season is
designed not only to combat the
summer slump but to give an
other solid push to that pros
perity which, if we take the
stock markets word for it, is no
longer right around the corner
but Right Here-and Now.
RKO executives say it's up to
film business to come to the
front and shoot as far away
from that old corner as possible,
toward bigger and better pros
perity. Their idea is to offer
better entertainment in their
theaters.
Senator Arthur Capper, chair
man of the Senate District Com
mittee, indorses the idea, and
it's broader implication that bust
ness generally get popped up.
There is a tendency, he says, to
"let down" during the summer
months, and the result is inju-
rious to business everywhere.
Consequently he is firmly in
favor of the RKO project.
The Greater Show Season at
RKO-Keith's starts today with

Cohan May Sing
His Own Song

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. IL.
Is it comical or not when an
actor can't sing his own song,
written by himself for his own
play, without getting permission
from someone else? Well, that
is what happened to George M.
Cohan.
The Broadway star decided to
use some of his old hits in his
Paramount talkie, The Phantom
President" One of these was
I'm a Yankee. Doodle Dandy"
from Little Johnny Jones'"
After Cohan worked the song
into the production, he suddenly
had thought. Little Johnny
jones' had been sold to Warner
Brothers and had been produced
with Eddie Buzzell playing the
lead. Did he (Cohan) have the
right to sing one of its numbers
in motion picture.
Hurried long distance calls to
his attorney in New York con-
firmed his fears. He did not.
And so. the other day, Conan,
the writer of the piece, had to
get in touch with Jack Warner
and ask him if he could sing
his own song.
The answer, after big laugh,
was yes.
Now everybody breathes easily
again.

chance to prove that my tailor

as you have never had before?"
I gave him the old Hellinger
smile. One part sugar and three
parts lemon.

From this day on my tailoring
business goes to you exclusively.
If you're as good q tailor as
you are a talker we'll have no

Suits Minus Buttons

Suddenly things began to
change. My suits began to
come back with loose buttons.
I don't mind loose women, but
I have a definite hatred for
loose buttons. So I phoned
the tailor and took him to
task. Have you ever been to
task? It's a pretty spot, To-
Gated just south of Brooklyn.
"Mr. Dinkelfritz," I said,
when I gave you my business
and you said I would get such
service as I have never had be-
fore I didn't know exactly
what you meant. I am now be-
ginning to find out.
G'You and 1 are not going to
have any long-winded discus
sions. My suits are coming
back with loose buttons. You'll
either remedy that situation
or I'll have to find another
tailor. Is that clear?"
The reply came in shocked
tones.
"This hurts me, Mr.. Hell
linger. It hurts me deeply.
That you should have to call
about such things grieveS me
more than I can say. My en-
tire day is ruined, sir. Abso-

you. Good day."
Just a moment" he stated
rapidly. Il don't want to take
up too much of your time. but
I did come here for q purpose.
AS 1 understand it, you are now
patronizing a shop some distance
away. Don't you think you
would find things far more sat
isfactory if you gave your bust
ness to me?
Consider these facts: Your
suits can be pressed and re-
turned to you in less than nalf
the time that is now required.
My service will be Of the very
best. You will be patronizing

of going into foreign territory.

About a month ago, I went

And this time it was most an

and told Mr.. Dinklefritz
where he got off.

you say so? I've got a million
things on my mind these days
and I haven't the time to argue

retorted. Loose buttons again.
You promised me the last time
that I would have no further
trouble.

give you one more chance. I'll

next loose button. Then I'm

I could almost see his panied
expression.
positively, sir" he returned.
"And I honestly can't say that
I blame you. There's nothing
more I can say right now, Mr..
Hellinger. I feel too badly
about the entire thing. But it's
good of you to give me another
chance. We need the business
so badly. God bless you."
Yesterday morning marched
into Mr.. Dinklefritz' shop and
looked him squarely in the eye.
"I've talked to you for the
last time" I asserted, land I
don't want any more of your
apologetic conversations. I put
on a suit this morning that you
had just returned to me-and
two buttons fell off. I've given
you every chance in the world,
but now I'm through.
Give me a bill to date and
I'll send you a check from my
office. I'm finished"
The man raised his hands
weakly. He drew forth a pad,
looked at some figures and be-
gan to write. Suddenly he
looked UP.
He Spoke Up
I'm sure, Mr.. Hellinger," he
said, that you won't begrudge
me a few words. You're too
good a man for that. just let
me say that it grieves me be-

ness.
Believe me, Mr.. Hellinger,
when I tell you that business
is very bad. When I lose a
cuStomer-and I suppose we
must all lose a few-it means
that much more difficulty in
earning the rent. I need your
patronage and value it. Will
you give me just one more
chance?"
I felt myself beginning to
weaken. But I thought of those
loose buttons and I squared my
shoulders.
mo-" I cried. "I've given you
too many chances now. I'm
through. Give me that bill"
Mr.. Dinklefritz shrugged his
shoulders. He slapped the bill
on the counter.

that's the way you feel about
it, I'll tell you little some

The funeral of the Franklin
brothers, Donald %, Leroy ID,
and LeGrande 8, sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. John X. Franklin, who lost
their lives in the flames on their
ranch home last week, was held
Monday afternoon from Mueller

Quite a number of out-of-town
people were in town for the tuner
ais. Mrs. Bette McDaniels, Mrs.
Frances Dodds and Joe Dodds were
here from Elberton; Mrs. Emma
Strobe from Colfax; Mr.. and Mrs.

Mrs. Cora Honey, Mr.. and Mrs.
Peral ,Thomlinson, and Mrs. Cas-

from the hospital at Walla Walla
were also here. Included were Ed

mes Harness, Sylvia Wills, Marg-
aret Couch, Christine, Bennett and
Geneva Iabbs.

Another evidence Of Kennewick's
progression seems to be shown by
the gradual increase in the school
census. Miss Leota Byrd, wha has
been taking the census since 1927
has furnished US with the figures
for the several years. Only one
other year in that period has there
been greater increase shown
than this year, when the census
increased by 81.
In 1927 the district had 966 kids
of school age; 1928 had $40; 1929,
977; 1880, 1925; 1881, 1040; and
1882, 1917. Miss Byrd finds no diff
ficulty in taking the census each
year since she has become known.
People are always willing to stop
to give her the information she re-
quires, tho she meets with some
interesting experiences. She finds
sometimes that fathers forget the
names of their children and nearly
always are unable to give the cor
rect ages.
