The blond and benevolent
Dixie Dyer, Dude Ranch's miSlead-
ing mistress of ceremonies, breaks
confidently into print with the
announcement that she is still
that outfits mistress of cere-
monies. AS though more than half
Of Washington and a goodly portion
of Maryland didn't already know
Dixie Dyer and what she does as
well as where she does it.
Sorry Dixie, but it just isn't
news. What, for instance, would
Dude Ranch be without you,
Dixie? Yes, there's the Carolina
Club Orchestra, it's true. But
they're not the whole works and
well you know it. No, Dixie, it's
still not news that you are still
the mistress of ceremonies at Dude
Ranch. When you no longer are,
let us know. Well print it in type
mile high.
Nor is it news that Sidney's mu.
sic still obtains at the Mayflower
Lounge. It isn't news to hun
dreds who make this room their
nightly rendezvous for just that
reason, and it isn't news to hun
dredS of others who have heard
that hundreds attend the May
flower Lounge just to hear Sidney.
But it must crate terribly on the
conScienceS of tn q t last-named
crowd. And well it might.
And 1t suddenly occurs to US
that one of the most persOnable
fellows we have run across in
many a moon is Jimmy Harris,
who has been enhancing pa

Jimmy, who works under what

everyone with the merest of evil

NEW YORK, July 15.-The

Olympian, thinks a few Olympic

WykOff was captain of the U.

R EP. .TINKHAM
SEES WAR
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

A warning to the United States
to stay out of the next European
war and notice of a congressional
fight against arming the Presi-
dent with discretionary power to
impose embargoeS was served to-
day by Representative George H.
Tinkham (RO, of Massachusetts.
Although one Of the handful of
Republicans to be elected to the
House, Tinkham planned a vigor'
Gus fight and predicted that Con-
gress, in a non-partisan spirit,
will legislate to insure future
peace of the nation. Instead OF
campaigning for reelection this
year, he spent months in Europe
studying political trends.
He said:
"There is little question that
a major war is coming in Eu-
rope within measurable time.
Everything points to it. And it
is of the utmost importance
that the United States should
remain neutral in this war;"
TWO GUARANTEES CITED
Two great guarantees of Ameri.
can isolation in the next Euro,
pean war, Tinkham said, are:
/. Mandatory neutrality legisla'
ton which denies the President
the right to choose nations against
which embargoes shall be imposed,
2. A navy that commands the
respect of the world.
He continued:
"The power of embargo
should remain in the Congress
of the United States. The only
power which should be dele
gated to the President should
be such as in the present law
compulsory and applying
equally against all belligerant
nations.
"The only refusal made by
Congress to requests made by
the President in the last session
was to deny him the right of
Selective embargo"
"The present neutrality law
should be strengthened. The
present law excludes subma-
rines from our ports and terri
tOriaI waters, but does not ex-
Clude armed merchantmen. The
armed merchantmen is the
opponent of the submarine and
should be excluded as we'll as
the submarine; otherwise there
is discrimination in favor of
the one side or the other of
belligerentS. That Is putting
an unneutraI policy into neu-
trality law.
ARMED SHIP BLAMED
Gas many experts believe the
armed merchantmen involved
us in the last war, it becomes
of the greatest Importance that
the present neutrality law be
amended in this particular"
Declaring that it is a fully
sound policy" for the United
States to have the be st o.

traliy," Tinkham said the last
war might have been averted hac
the United States had a power
full Navy because England anc
Germany would not have violated
international neutrality law.
Law Expires Soon
Neutrality legislation is certain
because vital provisions of the
present law expire within the
next few months. The course o.
legislation may be changed BY
the Supreme Court.
The court has under advise
ment the question of constitu
tionality of the 1884 embargo
resolution on the issue of whether
Congress can give the President
almost blanket discretion in this
field.
