Professional Orators.

AZE HAVE in Southern Califor-
~ MIA a professional orator who
long ago discovered that the most
dulcet music on earth was the sound
of his own voice. He'll speak any
where at the drop of the hat and
provide the hat. -
What's worse, this coast-defender
of ours labors under the delusion
that, if he shouts at the top of his
voice, his eloquence will be all the
more forceful. The only way to
avoid meeting him at dinner is to
eat at an owl wagon. But the other
night, at an important banquet, he
strangely was missing from the ar
ray of speakers at the head table.
One guest turned in amazement to
his neighbor: + 3d g
Where's Blank?" he inquired,
naming the absentee.
Didn't you hear?" answered the
other. F'He busted a couple of ear
drums" on
"Whose?" said the first fellow.

Il Foes of Nazidom.
n HE veteran Rabbi Stephen Wise
a of New York has been reason
ably outspoken in his views on Nazi
treatment of his own co-religionists
and the practitioners of other faiths
as well. And one of the most ven
cradle prelates of the Catholic
church in Europe, while discussing
the same subject. hasn't exactly
pulled his punches, either.
So what? A friend just back from
abroad tells me that in Berlin he
heard a high government officer
fiercely denounce these two distin-
guished men. About the mildest
thing the speaker said about them
was that both were senile. Some
how or other, the speech wasn't
printed in the German papers
maybe by orders from on high.
Well, far be it from this inno-
cent bystander to get into religious
arguments and besides / have no
frst-hand knowledge as to the Chris
tan clergyman's state of health, al
though, judging by his utterances,
there's nothing particularly wrong
with his mind. But do know Rab-
bi Wise, and, if he's in his dotage,
so is Shirley Temple. And I risk
the assertion that he would be per-
fectly willing to have one foot in the
grave il he could have the other
on Herr Hitler's neck.

The sheer magnifieence OF gowns
in the great northeast transcept
of the Abbey. where most Of the
peeresses We're gathered. may not
be repeated in the lifetime Of
anyone who saw it.
There were peeresses of American
birth in the Abbey. Lady Astor was
gowned in pale gold lame embroid-
cred with Sequins, with a corona
ton robe of red velvet trimmed
with ermine and black tails.
And there were a few American.
Mrs. James Gerard. wife of The
former ambassador to Germany,
and President RooseVelt's persona
representative. wore a white gown
of Snimmering brOcade with the
traditional hamdress of three white
ostrich plumes above a diamond
tiara.
Mrs. Curtis Box. Of Philadelphia,
wife of secretary to The American
mission accredited to the corona
ton. wore a classic evening gown
of white taffeta with a fitted bod
ice and full-gored skirt, and Oi
the white plumed headdress.
But this was only the fringe o!
the coronation celebration. 1t was
the eXtraVagant costly display Of
Englishmen and women - peers
and peeresses, and those sub-rul-
ers OF the empire who came 10 do
homage to their king and en-
peror, that completely dominated
the show.
African chiefs were there in viz
tually nothing at all ll-loin cloths
around their waist sasheS across
their glistening black chests. and
tiny box shaped hats on Their
crinkly heads.
They were in strange contrast
to the Indian rulers, many with
traditions behind them as old as
the l,0O0-year -old ritual OF coron-
alton. wearing flashing head-rigS
of gold and saffron and orange,
and blazing gems encruSted in
white satin capes.
The Knights Of Templar, stand
ing in solemn dignity on the blue
carpet of the Abbey nave, looked
like figures off playing cards.
1t was England's moment OF
glory, and neither Englishmen nor
visitors who saw it will ever for
get it.
