U. S. Employees Aid
Flood Sufferers @

Flood waters in the Midwest
have subsidized, together with much
Of the hubbub they caused at the
time, but Government employees in
Washington haven't forgotten the
big job of relief work which still
remains.
Latest of the Government
groups to come forth with cash
on the line to aid flood sufferers
is the Kenna-Main Post No. 81 of
the American Legion, an organiza-
ton of workers at st. Elizabeths
Hospital which has contributed
$75 to the Washington unit of the
Red Cross to be used in helping
carry on it's rehabilitation efforts
in the Ohio Valley.
Major Edward P. Van Hise, COM
mander of the post, accompanied
by Samuel j. Parrish, yesterday
handed the money to Margaret
Hagan, Red Cross field director
stationed at st. Elizabeths. The
sum was the proceeds of recent
dance.

at SOB Savannah st. S. E. was orig
inally a Brooklyn man, but has
been resident of the Capital for
the past Is years. After gradual
ing from high school in Brooklyn

atrical scenery, Major Van Hise
came to Washington to accept
position as assistant superintend
ent of the BelasCo Theater.
Due to experience in the Citi-
zens Military Training Corps, he
entered the Army as a first lieu
tenant in October of 1917 and be-
came a captain two years later.

tered the Veterans Administra-
ton and for 18 years has been a
contact representative of that
agency. his current post being at

MYSTERY MAN
GIVES FIVE
BALL PASSES
Bv ]. EARLE MOSER

Who was the short man, wear
ing a dark fedora, who walked into
the Interior Department Building
the other day putting at ciga'
rette? Whoever he was. he was re-
sponsible for five Government
workers receiving free tickets to
the Griffmen's opening game as
guests of The Times.
1t came about this way. On Tues.
day The Times published a Lucky
Baseball Ring" picture containing
the usual four Government folk
with rings around their faces. The
only man in the photo was the un-
known gentleman, and to the utter
headache of this column the lower
part of his face was obSCured by
his hand as he puffed his fag. Posi-
tive identification was impossible.
He likewise fooled re a Il 6ers.
Pretty sure they were he. Charles

incidentally, he became a melan-
choly though beloved figure of
Washington. 1t was his custom to
go religiouSly to his office each
day
The AdmiraIs one aide always
was ther'. waiting. He always
saluted stiffly when the old gentle
man came in and tremendously
ushered him to his desk. Each
morning. the Admiral would de-
mand of his aide: We'll, Com
mander, what is the business of
the day?"
The poor aide had a desperate
time finding something for his
chief to do. After half an hours
makebelieve, the old man would
retire to his couch and sleep until
awakened and sent home to lunch,
not to return until the next morn
ing. That bit of pathetic panto-
mime was enacted day after day
for years.
