ALLEGES TONGUE
Alice Roosevelt Longworth's
tongue may not always be mer-
ciful, but 1t furnishes Washing
ton with many laughs.
Mrs Hugh Wallace, widow Of
the former u. s. ambassador to
France and daughter Of a once
member Of the supreme court,
lives near Alice. Recently, she
was stricken with a sudden at
tack of acute indigestion. Alice,
who happened to be passing the
house, dropped in.
With her typical calmness of
manner, she diagnosed the trou-
BILE, administered q mixed dose
of medicines which was a tradi-
tion in the Roosevelt family. Mrs
Wallace recovered quickly, Alice
went her way. Later, Alice told
the incident at tea.
.'I'lI guess I'LL have to call on
Mrs Wallace now" she told her
friends. ''She's been inviting me
ever since can remember, and
there's only one thing that wOr-
ries me about IT," =.
whats tbat?" inquired the
hostess.
81 don't know whether to take
her n bunch OF flowers or a bot
tie of indigestion tablets"
LITTLE ARTIE"
For months Little Artie"
Robinson, innuendo- hurting sem
ator from Indiana, had been try
ing TO get" something on the
administration. Facing desper-
ate reelection fight for his
senatorial seat, he sought to
twist every rumor into deep
dyed scandal.
THE STORY GOES
Finally q story went the
rounds of the capital that GER
tain big democratic politicians
were specializing in silver on the
basis Of inside information on
White House policy. Robinson
Immediately offered resolution
asking the treasury for list of
large silver holders. The resolu-
ton was passed, and Robinson
sat back in glecful anticipation.
At last Roosevelt was to be
SIN eared.
"But when the treasury SUBJ
United Its report, no really inn
pOrtant democratic names were
on the list, but the list caught
Everett Sanders, national re-
publican chairman, and q
number of Wall street banks,
plus Robert M. Harriss, and
Garlic c. Conway, two Of the
leading advocates ON the silver
BILL"
The findings, instead of being
blow, were a windfall for the
administration. They played d.
rectly into the presidents hand,
greatly strengthened his opposi-
ton to the demanded legislation.
1t was a great break, doubly eff
fective because it came from the
hand of Little Artie" Robinson.
