bulance, take the softest seat,
and wait to be driven through
the red lights.
Mrs. Blair Emily NewelD is
also enthusiastic about her trip
and her travelling companions.
She insists that the only bit OF
bad luck they met in the thou
sands of miles of travel was that
the volcano Kilauea failed to
erupt until after they left
Hawaii.
Everywhere they found per-
feet weather. Never any rain,
until Chicago on the way home.
The sun shone. Tte moon
beamed. The sea was calm or
rough-as the occasion de-
manded. Even geysers, long
dormant, began to spout as soon
as the party from the Depart
ment of Justice approached.
IN. B.-Undoubtedly the geysers
were Grating in behalf OF the

English newspapers are inter
ested in the senatorial investl-
CATION of the munitions lobby.
Representatives of the English
papers with local bureaus are
in close attendance at the hear
ings. The London Daily Mall
which has no Washington Of
flee, has detailed writer from
its New York center to cover
the investigation"
This British concern IS be-
cause Sir Basil Zarahott, the
prima donna of the lobby, IS
an Englishman. The lobby, one
understands, has been striving
SO nobly to keep the world
peaceful for you and me. HOW?
BY manufacturing all the bull
lets and gunpowder and guns
and poison gas that certain
Members of Congress, Govern
ment officials, and admlralS
can get the lobbyists clients
contracts for.
Anybody without guile real
ICES how sweet is this direct
method of "averting" the next
war.
John Charles Thomas, the
singer, who has just been
awarded the Order of the Cav
alier of the Crown of Italy,
was for several years a choir
boy at the Church of st. Mi
chaels and All Angels in Bal
timore. Then his voice was an
exquisite soprano.
Now that John Charles has
grown up to a big, full-chested
man, King Victor Emmanuel
and the Metropolitan Opera
Company think his voice is
even better than his Episcopal
choirmaster hoped it would be.
Even a columnist should ap-
preciate the kindly hand that
leads to a nobler understand
ing of life. But-the invitation
of the American University to
subscribe to course on po-
litical science, economics, and
history for modern newspaper
men who may sometimes be
confused by the technicalities
of current economics and pol
itics" hurts little.
Confused? OF course news
paper men are confused-so
the Liberty League and Jouett
ShouSe think. Mr.. ShouSe and
the League go even farther.
They earnestly believe that the
course should be offered to the
entire Roosevelt adminiStra-
ton.
The American University has
asked certain distinguished au-
thoritieS to give the course.
Among them are Clyde B. Aitch-
iSon of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, Lynn R. Edmin-
Ster, principal economist of the
Bureau of Agricultural Econom.
les; Henry B. Hazard, chief at
torney in the Department of
Labor; Blaine F.. Moore of the
Chamber of Commerce, and
Green H. Hackworth, legal ad-
wiser of the Department of
State.
There was very pleasant
party at Olney Inn on Thurs
day of which Mrs. Charles g.
Ross was the center. Florence
Ross was saying goodby to a
group of friends before she
leaves for st. Louis the last of
next week.
Charlie Ross is already estab-
lished in st. Louis in his new
post as the editor of the Post
Dispatch. Mr.. and Mrs. Ross
will spend the winter at hotel.
In the spring they will find a
house in the country where Flor
ence will have space to do some
of the gardening with which
she was so successful at Chevy
Chase.
Saw Senator Lonergan, of
Connecticut, and the pretty
little Lonergan girls at church
on Sunday. There are four
Ionergan daughters. The olG-
est is about IL and has long,
black hair.
