Grotto Stages First Convention of Great Order of Doughnut Eaters
BT WALTER D. HICKMAN. I went to a party last night. The "eats’* were great and the entertainment was grand. Ask me bow it yon want to know what the "food" was. Will tels yon. The program announced "Midnight Lunch” Jnat aa the town clock or somebody's clock struck twelve midnight last night at Loew*s State, a flock of people dressed as cooks swooped down the aisles and began passing delicious doughnuts to the costumers assembled at Sahara Grotto’s Fun Fest or Midnight Show. So liberal were the cooks in their distribution of the pastry fruit that I feared the supply would be axhsnsed before a mere dramatic reporter was reached. On removing oiled paper from the doughnnt handed me, I discovered that there la anew style In doughnuts. Now 1 am telling yon that my doughnnt was a modern doughnnt. It didn’t have a hole. I was so disappointed because It didn’t have a hole because 1 wanted to use it for a watch charm Just to be original, you know. On biting Into the doughnut, I decided that It was far too good to use as a watch charm on a dollar watch. So I became a magician and Preoto changed, the doughnut turned Into a human betug. (That was far too clever not to use.) Midnight parties are sure to be grand and glorious successes if doughnuts are passed at the magic hour of midnight. 1 have done about everything else In the world, but eat donghnnts at midnight and since passing through that experience I no rlgh'. to wish for more. Tell us about the 6how. Sure. That enterprising Sahara Grotto crowd decided some days ago that a midnight Fun Fest staged at Loews Stato Theater on the night before, the races would feel a long felt need in the city on such a night And their Judgment was right Never In my life have I seen so many doughtnut eaters assembled under one roof. The show got started at a little after II p. m. last night A comic orchestra leader sailed down the slsle and Instructed his "gang” to : tune up. He showed ’em how by playing on a fiddle made oat cf a box “How Dry I Am.” Then he ordered the Grand Overturn It was a “sad” rendering of ! “Heart! and Flowers.” The leader then fled from the pit as he is not a collector of vegetables. BEAL ORCHESTRA STARTS THE SHOW. The curtain went up and Wedewaa*s • Irresistible Five, a Jazx orchestra, played some jars pieces as they should be played. That started off the show to a good beginning. After the music came a Sahara Grotto made movie showing the many stunts and activities of the order during the la?t month or two. The movie Includes actual happenings at the famous Sahara Grotto party last March, when the stars of the Follies were the guests. Also scenes from the Grotto ball game a few, days ago we re shown. A touch of the Orient was given by Bobble Stevens In a dance called "India Slave Dance.” It might have been called \ "The Dagger Dance.” Bert -Lindsey sang i a number of songs. This show moved Just l!Le a big-time-vaudeville show. It sure had speed. ; Mlnette and Riddle caused two organ aecordlans to shimmy out some great Jazz melody. Reginald DeValle's singing orchestra ; added a touch of novelty to the midnight hour. One of the men Is a winner while dancings MASTER DAVENPORT CARRIED OFF THE PROWERS. When Master Richard Davenport, a youthful singer, completed two eong numbers several large bouquet of flowers went over the footlighos in his honor. The bouquets were nearly as large as, he was. A1 Hoffmelster and Slrnmle Henderson applied the burnt cork and appeared before those assembled at the midnight frolic. They sang a bit and talked a wee bit more.

A1 Leane, known as the Creole Jazz-80, pranced on the stage to a Jazz tune and held up the show with bis melody and steppln.’ As the clock approached. 1 a. m. and making certain that the doughnuts were not to be passed again as there is only one 12 o'clock midnight to any one night, I decided that I had better get to my typewriter and knock out this yarn before the crowd started*to the Speedway.

Washington Briefs
WASHINGTON, May So.—Daylight saving means nothing in the active life of William Howard Taft The Chief Justice, ever since his Installation last October, has averaged eleven hours of work a day, six days a week. He is adhering to a pretty rigid and regular regimen with a view to coping with his duties,* on the one hand and keeping down his; weight, on the other. To that end Mr* Taft is up every morning at 5 and at work a few minutes afterwards. Dictation to a secretary is his favorite occupation at the romantic hour. After an early breakfast, tho Chief Justice takes another turn at bis desk at home, and about 9 o’clock Is off, afoot, for the four-mile hike to the Bupreme Court. The walk is in lieu of tho golf Mr. Taft now finds it Impossible to get tlroo for. Six hours at the Capitol, then more work at home, sometimes far into the evening, and the Chief Justice calls it a day. He will leave for ‘Europe as soon as the Supreme Court adjourns, but be back in time to cross the continent and address the American Bar Association’s annnal meeting in San Francisco in August. By design or by accident —more likely the former—Mr. Taft finds himself at his home in Wyoming avenue an-arouud-the-corner neighbor of one of hie oldest and eloseet friends, John Hays Hammond. Mr. Hammond’s stately Elizabethan mansion in Kalorama Road is just a stone's thro-r away. The famous mining engineer is Just back la Washington from a winter and spring in California preceded by four months sojourn In Japan. In Mr. Hammond’s study there hangs a portfalt of the former President with an inscription that tells eloquently of tho TaftHammond comradeship. It reads: “To Jack from BUI —November, 1911.” Mr. Hammond’s study-walls are crowded with specimens of his hobby—autographed portraits of distinguished friends. Presidents, emperors, generals, admirals, statesmen, authors, poets and actors of world renown are represented. Two pictures the engineer prizes highly are those of his famous colleagues in South Africa, Cecil Rhodes, and Rudyard Kipling. Hydra-headed German propaganda—restless and resourceful—has bobbed up in the United States in anew guise. It takes the form of anew Berlin periodical called “Reconstruction—international economic weekly.” The first number of which has Just reached Washington. "Reconstruction” appears In five languages— German, English, French, Italian and Spanish. Its editor-in-chief is a notorious German war-time propagandist disguised nnder tho pseudonym of “Parvus." who was assigned the futile task of attempting to beguile the Scandinavian powers to the side of the Centra! Powers. The principal article in the first issue deals with “The Conversion of the Reparation Debt,” and Is an unb’nshing plea for aa international loan o Germany. Other contributions deal in terms of lamentation with Germany's woes and

"Garvin then announces that the lucky number is beneath one of the seats and asks every one to look for tho number, naming the number. “Party then comes on stage—nurse presents baby—a six-months-old baby pig.” He also informed me by letter that Baby Iris, George W. Kadel, Fred Myers and Maly, the trlckey trickster would also add to my personal pleasure if I but would remain. But I went away to duty. I tell yon again that eating doughnuts at midnight is a grand and glorious experience.
with the necessity of Interna tlonnl cooperation in ameliorating them. To the initiated eye, “Reconstruction” reeks with between-the-lines evidence tho German government has more than a sympathetic Interest In the journal’s conduct. Washington Is on the "qui vivo” for the dedication on Tuesday of the beautiful Lincoln memorial. The magnificent marble pile by general consent is the capital’s piece de resistance. Foreign, visitors concede it hold rank with the classic architecture of Europe. A diplomat recently arrived In Washington predicts the time will come when lovers of the structural art will cross the Atlantic to view the memorial and revel in Its overpowering charm. Moonlight Is the lackground In which the pillared temple Is oeen to its best advantage; then Rome or Athens, transplanted to the banks of the Potomac, is conjured up by dreamers woo know those ancient capitals. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who will speak at the Lincoln memorial dedication for the race enfranchised by the great emancipator, was attached to the American peace mission at Paris. He was President Wilson’s counsellor on native-races questions In connection with disposal of the German colonies in Africa and the south seas. En route to France Dr. Moton was the life of the ship because of his accomplishments as a singer of negro folk songs. He succeeded Booker T. Washington at Tnskegee In lOlfl and rivals hits as an orator. Two activities to which Dr. Moton devotes himself outside of his Tuskegee duties are these of rice chairman of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and president of the Negro Businees League. He is a Virginian and So years of age. Col. Henry W. Anderson of Virginia, one of the four special counsel engaged , by the Department of Justice to prose- j cute war profiteers, was an aspirant for the Republican nomination for the Vice Presidency at Chicago In 1920. Recently ; he unsuccessfully ran for Governor of ; Virginia. During the World War Mr. And-rson was chairman of the Roumanian commission of the American Roil Cross, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, . and was stationed at Bucharest In that 1 capacity. lie enjoyed high favor with the Roumanian royal family. In 1913 Colonel Anderson became commissioner ! of the Red Cross to the Balkan States and was la charge of relief work there after the armistice. Representative George P.

Swims for Beauty
19 MART BEATON, BT MARIAN hat.K Since reducing has become the popular pastime it has brought Into favor many sports once neglected. Among these swimming undoubtedly takes the lead because It la the most effective agency for removing extra pounds and keeping more from accumulating. Also, it Is a much pleasanter form of sveltlng than slow starvation. However, Mary Beaton, celebrated Scotch swimmer, who conducts one of the most fashionable swimming schools In New York, believes swimming should be Indulged In primarily as a means of acquiring grace. “Swimming la aa beautiful as esthetic dancing,” sho maintains, “and aa much of a joy to the eye, If properly done, x “But in their engerness to reduce flesh many women erroneously believe their end will bo accomplished more quickly if they try to develop great speed In the plon of the House. Mr. Darrow was graduated at Alfred In tho class of ISBO. Canada Is prelslug for direct diplomatic relations with the United States because of the unusually largo crop of Important questions now pending between the Dominion and ourselves. Negotiating of a treaty looting to the opening of waterways leading to the Great Lakes—the latest affair between the two count rise— j probably will be taken up simultaneous- : ly wiih three or four other matters of , magnitude. The agenda of unsettled questions Includes Canada's wood pulp embargo; a Canadian claim for damages done to a Dominion merchant ship off the coast of Rhode Island : a fishery dis- j pute Involving the territorial waters of ] Maine, and some amusing objections regarding “a navy” Michigan wants to ' establish on tho lake bearing the Wol- j verlne State’s name. Our pending tariff legislation also conjures up possible difficulties with Canada. The proposal to levy heavy duties en Canadian wheat, flax, dairy products and other commodities tho great Canadian northwest I exports to the United States, is causing lively perturbation across the border. Enactment of tho new United States j tariff coincides with a Canadian project ! to increase the Dominion's "preference" tariff to Great Britain from 33 1-3 to 50 i per cent In effect that would constitute a reprisal for Increased American rates ou Canadian produce.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

water. Ferw women can uwim fast and be graceful. “Few women are physically capable of becoming long-distance swimmers and they Injure their health when they try to be. They should be content to swim gracefully and beautifully. “No one quality is so important to a woman as grace. With grace she may draw attention from a face Which is not beautiful and still give the Impression of great charm. But a face, be it ever so perfect, is powerless without the accompaniment of a graceful body. “A woman is never too old to swim. You would be surprised, possibly, to know that frequently granddaughter and grandmother come together for their swimming Instruction. “Often, too, grandmother proves to be a more apt pupil than the child, for she realizes the Importance of what she is doing. “Many of the women In my classes are 50 and GO years old, and are taking up swimming for the first time.
