But there was a catch to it. | The Kiwanis club heard all about| it at noon today at the weekly lunch eon..Part of it was told by Ed Cox personal recital was by his par! Herbert O'Hare, for he was the Bis- marck Herb who attended the inaug-| uration of Herbert as president. There | ‘were three Herbs, however—note the catch—and the one who arranged for the presence of Mr. end Mrs. O'Hare | at the ceremonies was Herbert O'Hare Jr., a reporter of the Brooklyn Eagle, who was in attendance at the ina ural. That explains how Mrs. O'Hare | came to be kissed by the Herb at! Washington. Mellon a Back-Stair Man rbert Hoover did net learn of the Pp: nce of his namesake at the cere- monies until a few days later, when the Bismarck visitor made a call at the white house and shook hands with the new president. As a result of that call the Bismarck visitors had the additional pleasure of seeing the cobi- net disperse after a meeting with The Chief. All except Andy Mellon. He! has a way of coming in by the back door and leaving that way, while the other members pass out the front way as A Doorkeeper unctuously an- | mounces their names and the news teel fiends make them smile and move their lips and then snap them | in this form of animation. The Bismarck Herb didn’t miss much of the big show, judging from what he told the club. He darted} away on a cup of coffee and a bit of | toast for breakfast that beautiful morning of March 4, with the sun shining radiantly, heard the inaug-} ural speech half way throug’ and| then fled for the reserved scat oppo- | site the glass cage from which the presidential party reviewed the pa- rade. He was at hour and a quarter by street car making the mile from the capitol to the stand, where Mrs. ohra had been left at the morning Says Speech Was ‘Dry’ Finally the parade came along, the most wonderfully colorful affair he had ever seen in his life, said Mr. O'Hare. It took from 2:30 to 5 o'clock to get by in its massed formation, and all the time it rained, for while the President was making his speech the began to fall and the rain kept up two days and nights, so that the dry presidential speech was made on a very wet occasion, he said. It was a very inspiring address, he added, the dryness being that phase dealing with law enforcement, Hears Dawes Defy ‘Em One of the features of the inaug- ural which Mr. O'Hare enjoyed was hearing Vice President Dawes over the loud speaker from the exercises in the senate chamber shouted his de- fiant “I take nothing back!” Another feature that impressed him ‘Was to see Calvin Coolidge's face light up with its first known smile in the Presidency. It broke much like a Ver- Mont granite boulder cracking, said Mr. O'Hare, as the retiring president greeted his successor after he had taken the oath of office and they clasped hands. He said it was plain that Coolidge was clad to lay aside the burdens of office. The O'Hare talk on the inaugura- tion -was the whole luncheon. Outside of it the only feature was the pres- ence of Howard Melaney, the singing fireman, who will broadcast from Fargo tonight and was Saving his voice after the strain of a 17,000-mile tour which is about ending.

Einar-Paal Lundborg, Swedish avia- tor who rescued General Umberto Nobile of Italy after the crash of the dirigible Italia in the Arctic last year, arrived on the liner Drottning- holm today, still strongly defending the Italia commander against all charges. An investigation of the Italia disaster was made by a special Ital- ian commission which found Nobile responsible. A few days ago he resigned his commission in the Ital- ian air service. Capt. Lundborg said today that criticism of Gen. Nobile for leaving his subordinates on the ice floe when rescue of one man becam2 possible should in fact be directed against the interior believes that the decrease will continue for several months. This prediction is based on the gradual fall of production last year and on the uncertain condition of the world’s oil markets, especially that in the United States, which country leads in consumption as well as pro- duction of oil. The uncertainty, according to the Mexican government's announcement, is due to the fact that oil production in the United States, restricted during the major part of last year, now is in- creasing enormously, hence the rela- tion between consumption and pro- duction in the United States is being ‘area adjoining Bismarck are expected Rotary Entertaining Farmers Tonight at Grand Pacific Hotel This is Farmers night with the Ro- tarians.

Crowe as president of the board was between three and four million dol- lars short, was made today by the State’s attorney's office. It was indicated that prosecutors felt there now was spfficient evi- dence to warrant indictments for malfeasance which, if successfully prosecuted, would result in removal from the »oard of members, who were also members under the Crowe incumbency. Crowe. himself, was oe for reclection last Novem- r. The state's attorney's office and a special committee from the state senate are investigating the district's affairs.

A meeting of the township board Knights | seniors of the Braddock high school, = = TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1 How important are riches to a girl’s happiness? Pamela Judson, left above, had everything that money could buy. Her father, owner of the fashionable Judson Hotel in New York, lavished the luxuries of life upon her. They had made her selfish, strong-willed and petty. Mildred Lawrence, right, was a public stenographer in Pamela’s father’s hotel. She had a mother and sister to support on her small salary. Her only contact with luxury—more cruel than no contact at all—came from the glimpses she got of the fashionable throngs at the Judson Hotel. What happened when Pamela and Mildred became rivals in love . . . when racketcers at- tempted to ruin Pamela’s brother. . . when the lives of these two totally different girls became interwoven by circumstances as exciting as they are realistic is told in Ruth Dewey Groves’ thrilling new serial, “Rich Girl—Poor Girl.” It begins in The Bismarck Tribune March 27th Send for a Trial Subscription — Here is an offer by which you can secure the World’s important events through The Tribune leased wires of the Associated Press, the daily market reports, and the following comics daily: The daily Gumps, Freckles and His Friends, Mom’n Pop, Salesman Sam, Boots and Her Buddies, Our Board- ing House and Out Our Way.
