New Barn Club

INS" O0III SIOO
Brooke Johns announces that
his town and country dine and
dance club just beyond the Nor
beck crossroads and five minutes
from Olney will open on Septem-
ber is. About eight or nine miles
from the District line this SUBJ
urban rendezvous should prove a
lure to diversion seekers.
I haven't yet had a chance to
observe how the gentleman
farmer has transformed his COM
modlous barn into a dancing de-
light and a proposed mecca for
epicures. 1 do know that Brooke
Johns is the happiest kind of a
greeter, that he is genial and
friendly and that as factotum of
a unique entertaining spot he can
be elied upon to make his patrons
feel thoroughly at home.
Summer Resume
Now that summer Is almost to
The finish line, colleges ready to
open, vacationists returning, per-
hapS 1t would be interesting to
review a few high spots of the
summer night-life season Of 1884.
washington has seen more ter
races, roofs and dine and dance
spots during the past three
months than in more than a de-
cade. Business, likewise has
1lourished far beyond any other
recent vacation periods.
June and July were banner days
for the outdoor resorts. Hardly a
raindrop to mar the sky and
hundreds Of perspiring citizens
looking for cool spot and a cool
drink. August eased off bit, but
principally because. just to make
up for his goodness, the weather
man turned on the rain, plus bit
Of arctic weather thrown in.
Still, no one is complaining.
Everyone survived, some made
money, and the moguls can smile.
Highlights of the season:
The Shoreham enlarged its ter
race, beautified. kept elaborate
floor shows - results, crowded
every night.
The Powhatan brought Pete
MaciaS and his band to the roof,
broke all records for turn-away
business.
Mrs. Stamm opened wide her
magnificent Maryland Club Gar
dens, gave 'em $150,000 worth of
beauty, floor show, packed them
in.
Harry Albert and his orchestra
on the Arlington helped it regain
dts prestige of a few years ago.
The Mayflower's air-c ooled
lounge proved a popular haven on
. torrid day, and very social, too.
The Lowenkeller's outdoor gar.
den, very unusual, and different, |
showed that a lot of wiseacr.s
were wrong, for it doubled re-
cepits. i
Against the head-shakings and
peSsimistic advice of many, the
Heigh-Ho taproom, remained open
and made money!
The Lotus added a third snow
to the daily schedule of enter
tainment and this, coupled with
air-cooling, was a bonanza.
Walter Won Herbulis booked
Art Godfrey into Club Michel, on
his radio reputation and came
through winner.
The Carlton opened a new
cocktail lounge and garden, which
fast became popular places to
frequent.
Bill Levy threw wide the
Hangar Club roof, with an enor-
NOUS capacity. made it an in
place for an evening
he showed 'em.
Out on the Baltimore Boule-
ward, the Dude Ranch, another
popular price spot, attracted
capacity patronage.

At the Michel

Art Godfrey returned to Club
Michel on Monday, left the same
night for Boston. Positively will
be back on the podium tonight.
AS for his permanency, there,
Walter Won Herbulis says he can
stay as long as he wants. I'm
only afraid he will get a nice New
York Offer" says Walter.
On September 81, big floor
revues will return for the winter.
They are being produced in New
York, and carry, beside many
featured entertainers, a chorus of
lovely ladies. It'll be hot times
on Thomas Circle then.
The Roadside Theater quartet
came up there Saturday night,
sang their touching ballads with
their even more poignant ges-
lures. They were very we'll re-
ceived. When Godfrey sees them,
perhaps they will be booked for
an engagement. Meanwhile sew
eral other night club impresarios
and theater executives are also
angling.

HOSIERY STRIKE
Brings Test of Labor
Strength

Belmont, N. c. (ILNS)-Code vio-
lations of all types and degrees OF
fiagrancy have been uncovered at the
Hatch Hosiery Company here as the
result of the strike at this plant. The
strike is completely effective. Organ
izer Henry Adams, of the Hosiery
Workers Union, reports that mini
mum wage and maximum hours reg
ulations in the hosiery code have been
freely violated by the company and
that at no time has there been any
pretence at living up to the labor
sections of the code or the national
recovery act.
About one hundred workers are in
volved in this strike, but over ten
thousand textile workers in Castor
county are keenly interested in the
situation and regard the hosiary
strike as part of their own fight. Fl
nancial interests which control the
Hatch Company also control at least
ten textile plants in this area. The
textile workers see in the Hatch stu
alton a test of strength against the
most powerful local. anti-labor in

Pie as a National Dish

A nationwide census of pie-eaters,
involving an analysis Of $4,000, 900
meals, shows that apple pie Is the
most popular Of all American foods.
Among pies, apple IS the mems
choice in all parts Of the country.
Women also prefer apple pie in the
East, but in the West they show q
slight preference for lemon meringue.
The pie census, reported by lead
ing woman's magazine, indicates that
cherry pie is growing rapidly in ia
vor everywhere in America. In fact,
cherry Is going ahead 80 fast that If
1t continues its present rate OF gain,
1t may be expected to outstrip apple
pie in about 65 years.
The most popular luncheon menu
in America today consists Of sand
wich, cup Of coffee and q piece Of
| pie.
The pie industry, however. has suf-
fered quite seriously from the depres-
sion. Americans eat one-third fewer
pies now than they did at prosper
ity,S peak. They ate Is million dol
lars worth Of pie in 1929, but only
IS million dollars worth last year.
The 20 most popular pies, after
apple, cherry and lemon meringue,
are: pineapple, mince, pumpkin, Gus
tard, raisin, rhubarb, strawberry,
cranberry, chocolate, apricot, cocoa
nut, blackberry, raspberry, cream,
date. huckleberry, cheese. squash and
peach.

That Farm Market

How extensive Is the potential farm
market for manufactured goods will
be disclosed by surveys now going
forward in 800 counties Of the United
States where alta women CWA
workers are asking farm women to
fill out missionaries showing what
they would do in the way Of i'm
provement II they had little money
to spend.
The results are likely TO be sur
prising. both In the variety and vol
ume OF need uncovered, for It Is
farm conventences and the things
which make farm life worth living
that have gone by the boards during
these depression years.
Such is the nature OF the farmer
and Of the farming business that
certain items are placed above ma
terial comfort. II 1t IS question Of
providing seed or purchasing new
stove to replace the one which should
have been discarded these many
years, the seed Is bought and the old
stove Is made to do. The law of self
preservation requires it, for lack of
seed means abandonment Of hope for
the future.
In much the same manner, the
imperative needs Of the farmers
stock must be met before he can de-
vote much money to more than the
barest necessities Of his family. II
the money Is required to purchase
hay in order to carry the cows
through the winter, Mrs. Farmer goes
without the coat or dress she needs
SO badly.
AL of us know this and everyone
appreciates the tremendous demand
for all kinds of goods which has been
damned up on the farms by the
stringency Of the times. Now we are
to learn what the farmer and his
wife think about it. They will speak
for themselves, not through politi-
clans. The result should be enlight-
enlng.
