4 Every one will welcome the
decision of the governing body
Of the Intern tinnal ahnr

- OF the International LABOR
Organization of the League of
Nations to place upon the agenda OF
the 1885 International Labor Confer
ence the question of unemployment
among young persons.
AS the Office points out, this prob
lem is a serious one, not only on ac-
count of its extent, which is consid-
cradle, but also on account of its
moral consequences. which are even
graver than those of unemployment
among adults.
1t is true in a family where the
children are in employment as we'll
as the head of the household, the fact
that one of the children is unemploy-
ed will not affect the economic posi-
ton of the family as seriously as If
the father is unemployed. But If the
demoralizing effects of a prolonged
period of unemployment are borne in
mind, it will be seen that unemploy-
ment among young persons is liable
to be much more detrimental at large
than unemployment among adults.
This is why special measures are nee
essary to counteract this detrimental
consequence by enabling unemployed
young persons to make suitable use OF
their enforced leisure.

Burns and OIds
Dance cam at
MadriIIon

The repeal program at the Mad
rillon is being planned to harmon
ize with the cuisine and setting OF
this unusual luncheon-dance-and-
dine resort. For weeks proprietor
Peter BorraS has been not only
selecting wines and iqueurs, but
experimenting with novel ideas in
mixed drinks. The result Of all
this research will be seen in the
Madrillon offering of all the finer
wines, including some unusual
vintages, also Of those delicious
L Latin-American mixed drinks not
yet as well known in this coun-
try as they deserve to be. Nor
will such United States favorites
be left out on the list Of drink
ableS.
Kola and Dunya, Russian dane
ers who have charmed the Mad
rillion clientele, for the last two
weeks will make their farewell ap-
pearances this evening and to-
morrow. Their swift rhythm m
dances and breath-taking Russian
numbers are noteworthy examples
of power and grace.
Monday will mark the initial
appearance of Burns and OldS,

whose deft gyrations have won
applause in vaudeville and New
Work NIGHT el11hS
Libby Rowland, Madrillon's pet
torch singer, has a brand new
assortment Of songs, mostly
either torchy or Of the Dixieish
sort. The appealing contralto
voice Of this young Southern girl
has an uncloying quality.
The dance music Of Leon
Brusiloff and his orchestra is
much more than just dance
music. Each Brusiloffian is an
entertainer-musician and can
step out of the band stand to
do a tap dance, sing or what
not.
At one time or another dur
ing the week almost everyone in
town seems to come into the
Madrillon, not to mention visit
ing notables who are always on
hand. Among the out-of-town
company this week was the
famous Wall Street harasser,
Ferdinand Pecora; William H.

Breezy to the extreme, the at

Gershwin Comes
With Melton

One of the highest tributes
ever paid George Gershwin. the
composer, who appears in concert
in Washington, February 8, at
Constitution Hall, was written by
Eugene Stinson, writing in the
Chicago Daily News last summer.
The article appeared just after
Gershwin had appeared with the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Mr.. Stinson wrote:
Gas for George Gershwin,
he writes jazz, and as 1 am
an American of the twen-
tieth century, he therefore ex-
presses something that is in
the atmosphere in which i live
and think, and, more than
this, something that is in my
heart and blood"
Gershwin, one of the dynamic
personalities of the American
stage and concert arena, rejuve-
mated American .nusical comedy
by bringing to 1t a new style;
and he injected life and energy
irto orchestral music by writing
Concerto in F." Rhapsody in

broke down the barriers the large
orcheStras had placed against

PREPARE FOR COCKTAILS
Michel Prepares
For Return
Of Liquor

This is sure an exciting week
at the Club Michel, adjacent to
peaceful Thomas Circle. Host Won
Herbulis is a very busy man. First
he just recently introduced his
new dance band, after weeks Of
tireless additions and picking ace
musicians. Secondly, a hurried
trip to the Michel booking office
at 1910 Broadway, New York, to
make arrangements for his cur
rent show and selecting choice
acts for the future. Then there
is the big question of repeal.
The new ruling forbids the use
of a bar, but Won Herbulis is
nevertheless installing the finest
bar equipment in his kitchen over
which drinks will be mixed and
prepared with the same delicacy
and particular taste, if you were
standing there yourself, instead
Of the waiter. In the large, cool
cellars of the Michel building
workmen are building a complete
wine cellar, with facilities for
storing the many bottles of choice
wines, cordials and champagnes
for which the Club Michel will
soon become famous.
In preparation for the return Of
liquor, Won Herbulis is planning
to present a gala repeal night
party in celebration of this great
event. Entertainment that has
never been equaled in local night
club history has been promised,
and a special dinner with every
proper wine course included will
be one Of the unusual features.
In the meantime, however, there
Is still plenty OF life in tho
gorgeous black and gold room on
the third floor Of No. / Thomas
Circle. This new band of Meyer
Davis is really big time and the
hundreds of dancers who enjoy
their rhythms nightly are enthu-
siastic over this new musical ag.
gregation.
Featuring the floor show this
week are Narrone and Gallo, a
really clever pair of dancers,
whose looks are as attractive as
their dancing technique. Narrone
and Gallo come direct to the
Michel from the Cascades, one Of
Chicago's better night clubs, and
they offer a foutine that was ar
ranged just for "night-clubbers."

promoters of the Hollywood Club
in New York have been looking
over Washington locations. What
they want is a huge capacity,

dancing and a floor show could
be offered at So for the whole set
up. Others have been looking over
the Belasco Theater. They have
designs for something like New
York's Casino De Paree, using the
roof in summer, providing it can
be remodeled without touching
John D. Rockefeller or one Of his
banks. Russell Conn, at the Am
bassador, has spent $4,000 getting
prepared for legal liquor. He has
his hotel all ready. "A petition
has been going the rounds inviting
night clubs and hotels to cut out
floor shows entirely. It hasn't
gotten very far and will not be
inaugurated unless everyone signs.
Which seems at this moment like
an impossibility. Libby Rowland
blues singer at the Madrillon, is
all swelled with pride over singing
at the Presidents party at the
Shoreham. She can thank Leon
Brusiloff, who gave her grand
recommendation to the booking
agent. Maurice Kafka was pres

Sidney's orchestra got into the

Orchestra, which was one of the
featured musical attractions of
the recent Presidents Ball, will
continue to furnish it's popular
dance music. The hotel has been

 The types of work for which the funds thus allotted may be used, cover the range of jobs customarily done on the institutions by stu dents who are working their way through college. including clerical. library, research. and work on buildings and grounds. These jobs are in addition to those now being carried on by students, it being specifically stated that no one now working shall be replaced by an- other student receiving EZRA funds.

once around the corner his courage seemed to leave him, and he stopped short, not knowing what to do or where to go. He | hopefully bought paper and care fully read every want ad, but he found nothing that looked like q job for him, nothing for just q plain bookkeeper, as he called him self. He thought of going to an em- pioyment agency but remem bered that agencies cost monay, which was something he had to be very careful of at the moment. Finally F.Hanson decided to make the rounds of the breweries he knew of.

Each time he watched the prospective employer read the ap- plication and he could tell by their faces that they were not unfavor- ably impressed. That at least was something.
 There was one curious point that made them all hesitate. That was the description of his nationality, WtAfSh AtO Pth uOWH 6lS OWeuISIl- Italian He was tall and blonde, and there wasn't anything Italian about his appearance, which caused him to chuckle inwardly at the impression what he wrote made.

 But that didn't get him a. job. Five days passed, and he was rapidly beginning to lose heart. He still kept up the pretense of rushing to work in the morning and coming home at the usual hour, but his job of acting was be- coming harder and harder to do. From time to time he felt in his pocket for that extra weeks pay, knowing that the time to produce it was getting closer and that next week he couldn't keep up the show.
 On the afternoon of the sixth day Hanson was tired and thirsty after hours of fruitless walking. He was far from home, in a strange part of town. It was too early to go home, and he looked around in the hope of finding an idea on how to waste some time. On the opposite corner was a bar. and he walked in.
 He found himself the only one at the rail, but he could hear voices coming from behind parti- ton. The bartender emerged short ly and eyed him for a moment. The, conversation meanwhile, had ceased.
 "A beer," said Hanson. The bar- tender drew it, gave the counter a flick with his towel and left his customer standing there alone. The latter distinctly heard the bar tender say, "Okay," and the voices resumed, speaking in low tones.
 The place was so quiet you could almost have heard a fly. walk across the bar, and Hanson found himself inadvertentl trying to lis- ten. He felt that this was some sort of hangout rather than an ordinary bar. Soon the voices seemed to take shape and he could make out words. The men were speaking in Italian. Hanson stood quietly lingering his glass. He had learned Italian from his mother but hadn't heard any for years.
 "We'll pull up on. Courtney St." one voice was saying. "and Tony will plant the thing at the entrance to the loading platform. That's the boss orders."

Now the normal tempo in the production of beer had been reached and the brewery had to cut down the big staff 1t had taken on with the first rush. Hanson was plain bookkeeper and his head fell under the axe as one of those the firm could get along without if necessary.
 He was Respondent. He recalled the day he had told his wife that at last he had job after months of searching. He remembered how happy they were and how in the weeks that followed they began to really belonged. Debts were paid off and there was a tiny surplus in the bank. He dreaded the ordeal of telling her now that they were back in the same hole again.
 "I won't tell her!' he said aloud suddenly. "I'll find another job andtell her all about it them I've got an extra weeks pay to work on!"
