"DONT QUOTE

BY United Press

WASHINGTON, June 18. - AM
basSador Augusta RoSSo OF Italy
has taken to heart the old railroad
slogan of "See America First"
While most of his diplomatic col
leagues confine their impressions OF
the United States to Washington,
New York and few fashionable
resorts, Rosso is a real traveller.
In the last few weeks he has INid
visits to New Orleans, Boston, New
York, Cleveland, Baltimore and st.
Paul. Previously he had visited the
Pacific coast cities, many south
western points and most of the
larger eastern cities.
Among his countrymen, Rosso
has won the name of the Ameri-
can uncle" he is bachelor.
washington had its first spell
Of real hot weather and it started
RFC Chairman Jesse Jones to
thinking Of The 1928 Democratic
national convention which wa S
held, through his efforts, in Hous-
ton.
Jones readily admitted that the
Houston convention was one of the
hottest-from the standpoint of
Weather-that the Democrats have
held in recent years. Nevertheless,
he said. he wouldn't mind having
the 1886 convention back in Hous-
ton again.
His first choice, however, is At
lantic City.
The senate, which is called upon
to approve hundreds of postmaster
nominations every session, is taking
no chances with miXups these days.
Here is the way a portion of one
confirmation list read:
Ethel w. Still (Mr0 ClarkSdale.
Dewey NJ. Collins (Mr1 Boyle.
One of the pet peeyeS of the pre-
siding officers of the senate is the
difficulty Of controlling visitors in
the galleries. Every hour or SO, on
the average. proceedings are stop
ped while occupants of the CALLER
les are admonished against demon
stration of applause or laughter.
Just how valid is this criticism
of the visitors seems doubtful in
view of the remarks of Sen. j.
Hamilton Lewis DemD Illinois.
Lewis WAS making a flourishing
speech concerning the dangers of
war. After repeated warnings by
Vice President John N. Garner
failed to halt chattering senators,
Lewis said.
Mr.. President, 1 deplore to say
that some day very great calam-
ity shall come upon the senate. 1t
will be reported to the world at
large; it will be noted that sena-
tors listened to some senator max
ing a speech.
Il am warned by those around
me that I need not fear such a
prospect. There are those about
me listening to my utterance who
inform me that I need not fear
this horrible anticipation that there
is nothing IN the present that just
flies the fear CT any such catastro-
phe in the future"

To Capitals Pride
To Aid Symphony

Secretary of the Interior Ickes be-
lieves local pride" should incite resi-
dents of the Capital to support the
National Symphony Orchestra in its
campaign for a 100000 sustaining
fund.
Commenting on the drive, the Sec
retary said:
Il am happy to state publicly my
appreciation of the National Sym
phony Orchestra.
1T is doing much to promote the
artistic and cultural life of the Ma
tional Capital and is deserving of the
full support of the people of WASH
ington.
LAS the seat of the Government and
a center of art and learning, the city
should pride itself on maintaining q
fine symphony orchestra.
In its appeal for funds to con-
tinue its concerts, for another year.
the National Symphony Orchestra is
not inviting the people of Washington
to invest in a new or untried venture.
This organization. composed of fine
and under competent di-
rection, has already demonstrated its
worth. Local pride alone should be
sufficient to cause a ready response
to this appeal"

only the Monument seemed familiar,

The pass was No. 81, issued to the
bride and groom on March 5. 1885,
the day after Grover Cleveland's first
Inauguration. Workmen were still
putting the finishing touches on the
Monument.
But even then the shaft drew huge
throngs. Mr.. and Mrs. Lukens ad-

permission from the engineer Office to
pass to the top of the Washington
Monument. Good for one trip, when
ever. in the Judgment of the master
mechanic, danger to the visitor and
inconvenience to the workmen will not
result" The pass was signed by a
James v. Dutton for one Cal Casey.
Passes we're necessary then. Mr..
Lukens said, because the only eleva-
tor was being used by workmen. Then,
too, every visitor wished to be among
the first to scale the Monument.
Wore Mutton Sleeves Then.
Mrs. Lukens recalled the day she
saw the Monument last. She was
dressed in a long flowing gown with
mutton sleeves. hustle and one of the
tiny hats of the day. She was 81
then, and her husband a year older.
Tomorrow the couple hope to be
presented to President Roosevelt by
Representative Edward A. Kenney of
New Jersey. who accompanied them
on their visit to the Monument today.
The two said they did lot of sight

for the life of them, they couldn't

a smile for her husband, "see nothing

the view more than we would have
