.By Louis SObOI.

Last Friday night, we took
in the moonlight sail on the
Bear Mountain sponsored by
the Business Boys and Girls
Club, All Nations Association,
Aqualite CO-Ed Club, and had
a great time on the boat, pail
ing around with Daddy Brown
ing, and it would seem that we
should have gotten enough in
spiratiOn out of this for
great big write-up, but about
all we can really think of to
say is that Daddy is a great
fellow and the more we OBJ
served him the more we kept
thinking, How SOciable he is,'
and finally we threw our arm
around his shoulder and said
right to him, You certainly
are a good fellow
"FOi one thing, Daddy
brought along with him on the
sail a large quantity of those
rubber animals, and he inflat-
ed them one after the other
by the plain method of filling
them with air from his own
lungs, and Rose Remmers, who
is quite chummy with Daddy,
said we ought to take good
care of the rooster, dog or
horse which Daddy handed
over to us (although most of
the guests scrambled for their
animals as they were thrown
out into the midst of the
crowd, for, as Rose pointed
out, they were filled with mil
liOraire air.
Daddy also gave out ele-
plants, small ones, which he
assured us would prove lucky.
Daddy is gOOd-lOOking, too,
with a most wholesome smile,
and did he know his stuff
about 'GreenpOint is the end
of pickle and other popular
jokes, and we have to give him
the more credit for being the
life of the party when he told
us he had put in a very busy
day a his office Friday, yet
he seemed simply tireless Fri
day night and everything he
did was really to make some
one else enjoy the evening.
Jaddy, you are all right"
Without hesitation, we ex-
claim fervently, How very,
very ducky"

Sammy Watkins, who calls the

the result, made up of the two

wrote Darcy When I wrote
The Face Upon the Floor

found its way into all parts of

MAN AT HELM CUBA'S
 SHIP OF STATE

.. HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. II. Cuba had it's third President within a period of less than a month as Senor San Martin, President of the University of Cuba, took over the reins of the government.
 In taking over control San Mar tin pledged himself to fulfill en- tirely the revolutionary program and to secure for Cuba recogni- ton from the rest of the world. He said it was a right of the Gu ban people to determine their own destiny and to handle their af- fairs in such a manner that in tervention by the United States would be unnecessary and the withdrawal of American battleships from Cuban waters would be ne cessary.
 In taking the oath of office in the Cuban Supreme Court San Martin did not pledge to support the constitution. He pledged to support the Cuban laws. The crowd, witnessing the inauguration, were swept with a great wave of natlonalism and showed wild pa- trlotism as they cheered their lea der.
 Three hundred former army of 1lcers have demanded that San Martin step aside in favor of form CT President Carlos de Cespedes, who is now in Santiago.
 Today there were disouieting re- ports that heavily armed bands roamed over the countryside ready TOT revolution in behalf of form CT President Mario G. Menocal That unrest led Cuban merchants to close their stores and all actiy- lty hinges upon the formation of a stable government with suffici- ent power to put confidence back into the people and curb disturbing elements.
 The army officers have refused to return to their duties although Ill Havana, the new government of san Martin was generally we'll re- ceived.
 Dlspassioate unrest continued in the interior near Santiago. One man was killed in brush between strikers and miners.
 Two men, one an army sergent were arrested near Marianao for conspiracy.
 It will be recalled that the over throwing of de Cespedes was ac- compllshed through support of the enlisted men of the army and 2 strong student left wing group. San Martin, is credited with having engineered the coup d'etat.
