Loudoun Hunt Breakfast :.
At Historic Creenwav

LEESBURG. Va, May 26.-Olden
times in the Southland were recalled
at historic Greenway today when
more than 100 guests were enter
tanned at bounteous luncheon
by the members Of the Loudoun
Hunt Club during the noon hour of
their annual horse show held today
in the meadows of Greenway, the
home of Elmon Millers of Washington,
D. c., and Leesburg, Va.
Scattered about the spreading
lawns with its age-old lockwood and
its beautiful sunken flower gardens
were groups of tables where animated
conversation dominated the noon
hour. A colorful scene was presented
by these virginians of the hunting
colony, dressed in charming, modish
sport costumes or riding togs as they
mingled with the Washington spec
tators just as interested in the horse
as their country friends.
They had come up to the luncheon
from the meadows below. where the
morning classes, Just finished, fur
nished them with Interesting bits Of
conversation as to their opinions of
the horses exhibited. Seventeen
classes with about 300 entries were
shown during the day and each
class was filled with the best horse
flesh that Northern Virginia can
produce.
Not only. was the crowd that
gathered there interesting, but they
were surrounded with a setting just
as fascinating. For Greenway is 200
years or more old and once belonged
to the Virginia Meades. The seasoned
red brick of the older part of the
rambling house was brought from
England, as were the moss-covered
bricks of the walks and of the fas-
cinating old barn. Rooms have been
added to the original four-room
structure, but the house has retained
the picturesque charm of old CO.
lonial times.
The Millers have owned the place
seven years, but it at one time be,
longed to Mr. John H. Alexander,
father Of Mrs. Miller. The place
comprises 200 rolling acres of forest
and turf with the dusky range of the
Blue Ridge as a background.
Among the groups could be seen
Mrs. Patrick j. Hurley, who enter
tanned Washington guests at the
luncheon.

BY HOTEL NOT
MAKING GOOD

A San Diego hotel, seeking sum-
mer business in Imperial Valley, is
likely to have its efforts meet with
just the opposite result, according
to the complaint Of several of the
towns married men, heard here to-
day.
The hotel, it is reported. is mail
ing out postal cards, carrying a pic
ture of its hoStelry. On the corres-
pondence side, written in a distinct
ly feminine hand, is a friendly
message, ranging from Having d
fine time; wish you were here" 70
"C'mup n see me sometime" The
messages, according to those receiv-
ing them, who have had a chance
for comparison, are signed with
various initials.
Lucky for me my wife is not of a
jealous disposition" boasted one
who received a card. But heaven
help some of the boys With jealous
wives. They're going to have some
tall explaining to do and the fact
that they are as innocent as lambs
is not going to help them much.
And if the hotel manager gets shot
it is only about what he deserves. "
The moral Of the story, intended
for the hotel manager, is that news
paper advertising not only brings
results but it saves a fellow from
having his hide shot full of holes.

He said the change consisted Of
one word which he wrote into the

Johnson said the code originally
provided that no retail store could

which sold goods cheaper had a

MORE BONDS
NEEDED FOR
STATE RELIEF

SACRAMENTO, June y. U.9 =
A new bond issue of S35000,000 or
s40.00OO0O will be needed to pro-
vide necessary funds to carry on
unemployment relief work in Cali
fornia, Controller Ray L. Riley said
today.
Counties are on their way TO
bankruptcy unless the state takes
a hand" he said. They will suffer
more as federal aid is withdrawn"
Riley. who believes unemployment
relief should be the foremost sub
ject at a special legislative session,
said the last s9,O00000 block of the
s20,OOO,000 bond issue voted a year
ago will last only few months. Al
ter that, the state will have no
funds to aid needy families.
Acting Gov. Frank l.. Merriam,
in discussing the possibilities Of
calling the legislature into special
session, said extension of a mora
torium on tax delinquencies was the
most prominent subject in mind.
He said he believed the federal
government was handling the un-
employment situation adequately.
Admitting there had been some
mention of a new bond issue. Mer-
riam said unemployment relief IS,
of course, the first consideration. 1t
directly affects the tax problem.
Riley believes a bond issue would
be preferable to new special taxes,
and would handle relief adequately
until a more definite picture of the
permanent situation could be OBJ
tanned.
