Yes- terday morning Bishop Lamb, the auxiliary bishop of the Philadel- phia diocese, made the in- vocation. He was a figure Of gor" geous color in his episcopal robes and everyone listened to the pray CT, which strangely enough did not seem to be an angry argument with the Lord on the other end. That is everyone listened except the newspaper photographers. One after the other they leaped on the railing marking of the chairman's dais where the bishop was standing and exploded bulbs ln his face. His Lordship never batted an eye but everyone in the hall I think felt the procedure was taking too much for granted. One prominent member of the Connecticut delegation was sitting in Q hotel dining room with a party of friends. At the next table sat two southern statesmen dressed up for the part. Before long the hotel orchestra paraded around the room and halting in front of the Connecticut table pro- ceeded to knock of 'Dlxle" with speed and volume. No one includ- ing the Southern statesmen could figure 1t out. Subsequently 1t was explained as 8 hotel managers error. He got the identity of the respective groups mixed. To make 1t all right with everybody the orchestra came back and played vBO0la- -B0oIa', under the Sou- Lhern statesmen's noses. The irony of the situation lay in Inc fact that the Connecticut man ls an ardent Catholic and one of the Southern statesmen was the prize Rope-baiter, former United States Senator from Alabama.

CHICK WEBB AT
 LAKE COMPOUNCE
One of Nations Best Swing Orchestras for
 Week-End Attraction

Chick Webb and his NEG orches- tra, selected by "Metronome" in its issue of this year. as one of the seven best bands, will make their initial appearance in the Spanish Gardens at Lake Compounce Sunday, June 26th. Concerning it's choice Metro nome" has this to say in regards to Chick Webb: Up in Harlem this group of swingsters is looked upon as Q bunch of earthly gods. Little wonder, too really great swing as propelled by Leader Drummer Webb, and his three swinging as- sistants: the hardest and sharpest biting brass section in captivity with Bobby Stark's trumpet leading the way; 8 neatly balanced sax section: fine arrangement by Edgar samp. son and Waymond Garner, and in- donations and phrasing that are truly exceptional when measured by Harlem standards" And, renem. Der, this is the ONE really critical musical publication.
 Tn the same issue or Metronofne in CTS Boasts and Boasts column is the following item concerning Ella Fitzgerald "the seventeen year old gal singing Up at Harlem's Savoy with Chick Webb's fine band unheralded and practically une known right now, but what future great natural flare for sing ing extraordinary intonation and figures as she is right now, she's one of the best of all fem hot warblers and there's no reason why she sohuldn't be just about the

groups and individuals that no one can give any single explanation oi how 1t is possible to keep such a group together.
 Contrary to popular opinion, however, it isn't anywhere near as much the desire for Q S5O0O or S1O,O00 job which keeps most of these people driving on toward
 political preference, but rather the desire for power and honor the satisfaction of being | big shot in tho old home town or state.
 The democratic party, which pro- fesses Q greater idealism than the E. o. D., is the party of:
 Senator Bob Wagner of New York whose heart beats for his fellow men as regularly as that of any pol itician who ever came to Washing ton.
 Senator George Norris of Me- braska, elected @ republican, but most Independent of all senators.
 All the outstanding Washintgon lobbyists, including the several ex- national committeeman who have made fortunes these last years byb selling their influence with demo- cratic officials--and all of them came to Philly.
 Rex Tugwell, whose heart is in the right place, no matter how screwy you may think he Is. Some Amazing Contrasts
 Then we have such widely dif- fering personalities as:
 owen ID. Young of General Elec- tric and Bernard M. Baruch, prince of promoters and stock market operators.
 Boss Tom Pendcrgast of Missouri and Frank Hague of New Jersey for years two of the nations most notorious Hncahine politicians, but counted on to carry their states for Roosevelt this year.
 Sheriff Howard CurIln of Marion, Ark, known to the share-croppers in his county as Hitler" Curlin-- @ delegate here.
 Secretary Harold Ickes, the giTn- Iet-eyed Chicagoart who has kept PWA SO amazingly free from graft.
 Henry Wallace, the idealistic sec- retary of agriculture, whose deep religious instincts are well known in Washington.
 The assorted characters of the late Huey Long's machine in New Orleans, some os them until re- gently under criminal income tax indictments, but all basking under the White House hmile since they promised to go along.
 And Look These Over
 Added to this list of strange con- trasts we find:
 One-eyed Connolly, the worlds most famous gate crasher, who showed up here as an assistant sergeant-at-arms.
 David Wilentx, prosecutor of Hauptmann, e member of the res- olutlons committee.
 Senators Bailey of North Caro- lima and Walsh of Massachusetts, vigorous opponents of the New Deal, but who came as delegates and served on the resolutions commit-

serve the welfare of the common people.
 It would be much easier to be- iieve in the altruism of those poli- ticians if you didn't know who they were.
 one of the biggest differences between the two conventions is the fact that the republican meeting was crowded with ex-office holders gazing wistfully ct the feed.box. Whereas, among the democratic del- egates, the postmasters, little cab inet members, senators, governors, bureau chiefs, mayors, U. s. mar. shals, district attorneys, sheriffs, and other officials--grimiy deter mined to hold on to their jobs were conspicuous in their prepon- derance.

 Walter J. Cummings, who earns $o0,000 Q year in jobs given him by the REC, but remains party party treasurer, despite many squawkS.
 Paddy Nash, the Chicago boss.
 Miss Molly DewsOn of New York and Mrs. Emma Guffey Miller of Pennsylvania, two of the most bril- liant and charming women in pol- itics.
 Ed MCGrady, old-time labor lead- CT and special assistant to Jim Far ley on the convention staff. And so on for a long time, not forgetting many others who see the New Deal as Q great moral-political awakening. Too Much Farley
 One thing most of the delegates didn't get too enthusiastic about was the extent o which the party seemed to be the party of Farley. Tn radio speeches, platform speech es, press conferences, and all over the place, Farley was enjoying his big moments.
 Word went around that his
 ears would be cropped after Che
 convention, but many wondered whether it wouldn't have been
 best not to let the country get the idea that Che New Deal was sym
 onym0us with "Farlcyism."
 When Senator Key Pittman of Nevada eulogized Jim, the ap- plause was surprisingly faint. And when he referred to him as "a plain. simple, guileless man," the laughter from the press stands almost drowned out the cheers.
 Just the same, those who gagged when Farley called for a minute of silent respect for the late VIII Rogers-aIid thought 1t a piece of mere stage play in bad taste were wrong. Rogers used to be Q dear friend of Jim's. And no one could accuse Jim of ever pulling such 6 sour pun as pittmaf's crack that "Landon has Knox tknocls, you see) in his machine"

Of "Floppy," pet terrier Of Arthur

the vigil he kept within his mas

three days.
Last Saturday, Carter, who lives
at 1901 Twenty-third st. N. W.,
reported his car stolen to police
and asked their aid in recovering
it. At the same time he spread
the news that when he last saw his
pet, it was inside the car.
When police Of Number -Four

on Maryland Avenue Southwest
today, "Floppy," barking vehem-
emily, refused them entrance.
Hamburger and water slipped

TIRED Feet!

When your feet ache, you want
quick and lasting relief. Many people
have learned that rubbing alcohol
gives it. But ordinary rubbing alcohol
has it's drawbacks. 1t spills; tends to
''dry out" sensitive skins; is sloppy
and hard to apply.
Here is new discovery: Screamed"
rubbing alcohol. Just dip your finger
tips into jar and massage your feet
briskly. Turns to liquid as you rub.
And it does the tUork. 1t soothes those
burning, aching feet-relieves the
soreness-makes them feel cool and
refreshed.
This new "creamed" rubbing alcohol
doesn't "dry out" the skin. 1t leaves
it smooth and glowing.
You'll find "creamed" alcohol is
better for all rubbing g-alcohol needs.
1t has a clean, refreshing odor. Its
non-spill feature does away with
waste and makes it economical to use
and easy to carry around If you
travel. Contains 70@o absolute alcohol,
the u. S. Government standard for
rubbing-alcohol compounds.
"Creamed' alcohol is sold only under
the trade name "Spry." Get it at your
drugstore. A generous trial jar is only
10e-enough for quite number Of
messages. Large jar, 29e-double size,
A9t. A little Spry goes q long way.
