ISOLATION an d Ss
vice president ''"''s'S
and cashier of Dunbar Hare
Riggs National Bank, will admit.
Don't Mention 1t
In fact, Mr.. Vass gave us
credit sometime ago for starting
the agitation for the old-time
convention. Until we published
. story ABOUT the agitation of
the ladies the banIerS were only
mildly interested. However, they
got busy in a big and conStruc-
tive way.
The convention is to be held
the last week in May, will last
four days, terminating on May 80,
Decoration Day.
There will be big attendance
and you can count on it.
The ladies think they were
cheated last year, since conven-
ton plans were disrupted by the
banking situation and there was
only a one-day shindig at a local
country club.
There's q Reason
It's anticipated that the affair
this year will be the best staged
in many, many years since by
the time the meeting is held Vir-
ginia undoubtedly will be very,
very wet.
Warwick Montgomery, of the
q. MP. Murphy Company, was
seen yesterday lunching at the
Hi-Hat Club.
His friends are wondering how
he was able to do so. However,
the market has been Stagnant for
quite a while.
Chester Lockwood, one of the
managers Of the swanky broker
age firm of Hemphill, Noyes & Co.,
crossed up everybody and did not
return Thursday, as he promised.
AS a result, Thomas j. Mangan,
jr., is still head over heels in work.
Mr.. Mangan is the other manager
Mr.. Lockwood wrote that he
would be back Thursday. Yester-
day, however, attaches Of the Of
flee were still receiving cards from
him from Florida, practically all
Of them proclalming that it was 80
degrees in the shade and rs de-
greeS in the water.
Unofficially, it's understood that
Mr.. Lockwood ran into one Of the
firm heads at Miami and was per-
suaded to stay little longer for
. bit of yachting.
Robert T. Heifield, of the Mount
Vernon Trust, is at home suffer-
ing from a severe cold. He's not
seriously Ill and is expected out
shortly.
Expert statisticians are advising
local brokerage houses that there
will be no general strike, as an
ticipated. One, who is nationally
known, wired one firm that since
the Government was spending bill
lions trying to put industry back
on it's feet that it would not toler-
ate such a step.
Sounds logical, eh what?
G. Shelton ("Buck'O Buchanan,
customers man at Hemphill,
Noyes & Co., is building a house.
He contends, and there probably
won't be many protests, that he
Is the most optimistic customers
man in Washington.
Mr.. Buchanan, however, is hav-
ing quite a struggle with his con-
tractor since that individual in
SlstS on putting on gadgetS which
tho future home occupant does
not want.
MIR. Buchanan, as we've said be-
fore, has wealth Of stories. The
accident to the airplane Blue Bird
Of the Byrd Antarctic expedition
recalled one, which has consider
able humor.
Lieutenant Commander Schloss.
bach, U. S. NJ, retired, was one of
those involved in the crash.
Mr.. Buchanan recalls that Sev.
eral years ago, after the Heuten-
ant commander had returned
from participating in the sub
marine dash of Sir Hubert Will
kins Northumberland, they met.
Mr.. Buchanan suggested a game
OF golf the following day and the
retired Navy man assented.
The next day, Mr.. Buchanan
went out to Chevy Chase to pick
up his partner. He found the
lieutenant commander with his
golf sticks standing on the curb
before well-known local brokers'
house virtually foaming at the
mouth from rage.
Mr.. Buchanan says ne asked
what was the matter. He says the
lieutenant commander replied.
"Why, I'm disguised with tho
diScOurtesy Of the people in
this town. 1 was over on that
lawn (the brOker's) and the
Lady of the house came out and
ran me off. was practicing
putting and promised to replace
all divOts but she told me to
Ascram.' That's courtesy"
