PLUMMER WASHINGTON, April 23. — The writer hears that when the good ship Mayflewer was ordered de- commissioned by President Hoover no one was grieved so much as the young society group of the Na- tional Capital. To them the Presidential yacht was a favorite rendezvous. After- noon teas never were enjoyed so much as when served on the decks of the Mayflower. Invitations to little informal functions there were greatly prized and sought after. In common parlance one simply had to “rate” to be invited. And with the passing of the yacht and its dashing young offi- cers, debs, sub-debs and many others feel the loss keenly. However, grief is not restricted to this class alone. We also hear that members of Congress were fairly besieged with requests from the folks back home that they be permitted to visit the yacht. The Mayflower was probably the most popular sight in Washington for these out of town visitors. More than one Congressman’s work will be lightened now that the boat has departed from the Washington Navy Yards. The Taxpayer While visiting the navy yards be- fore the Mayflower sailed we pick- ed up a story typical of the inter- est the yacht held for the “com- mon people.” It was “cleaning-up” day when a wvisitor apeared on the deck to look the yacht over. The officer of the deck approached him and said that visitors were not allowed aboad It had no effect. The The O. D. appealed to the Ex- ecutive Officer for l-utnunoeslx: ul the higher officer’s arguments, too, futile. In desperation he went the Captain, who at that time late George H. Stoney, told him there was a visitor who absolutely would not Washington DOO @w proached the visitor. Walking over to a deck rail, he cut a sliver| therefrom and handed it to the visitor. “Now, my dear sir’ he said, “I know that you are one of the some 90,000,000 owners of this boat. Here is your share. Good morning.” Contrary to the popular concep- tion the Mayflower was not such a palace of luxury. Plain Dishes It may interest you to know that the chinaware used .was of the ordinary navy cockery similar to that in officers' mess everywhere in the United States. The President's china was decorted with a narrow gold band and the official crest, but in other respects was of the regulation type. Substantial use- fulness was its chief characteristic. There were two especially attrac- tive places on the yacht. One was a the President's study. The hangings at the doorway were of a changeable blue-green taffeta, appropriately suggestive of sea waves. Silk cushions in a deep win- dow seat (minus the window, of course) carried the same color note. The other was guest room No. 2 on the port side. Here were twin beds in ivory white finish which have historical significance. They were the beds of the Presidential suite on the U. 8. 8. George Wash- ington, used in 1918-19 by the Wil- sons on the trip to the Paris peace conference, They also were used by the King and Queen of Belgians upon their visit to the United States shortly after the war. A gold plank in the footboard of each tells its his- tory. i e FATHER OF HOWARD LERCH PASSES AWAY William Lerch, aged 75 years, father of Howard H. Lerch, Secre- tary-Treasurer of the Admiralty Island Coal Company, passed on at his home in Iowa Falls, Iowa, last night according to advices received today from Ralph E. Lerch, an- other son. Burial will be in the family plot at Freeport, Illinois, where Mrs. Lerch’s body is at rest. William Lerch is survived by five sons, all married. Planes Aid Farmer In War on Sparrow CORCORAN, Cal, April 23— Poisoned wheat, scattered from air- planes, has proved an effective weapon against the hundreds of thousands of sparrows, which pick up seed grain in the Lake Tulare basin as fast as the farmers can sow it. From the air Dick Gilkey, an av- iator, has scattered the deadly grain ever 14,000 acres, and thou- sands of birds have been extermi- nated. Some of the farmers have had to re-seed their land, but they be- lieve the remaining sparrows will not be able to decrease greatly this year's yield. Japanese Immigrants Are at Home in Brazil RIO DE JANEIRO, April 23— Dr. Tetsusuke Tarama, Japenese Consul at Brazilian posts for 16 years, estimates that 70,000 Japan- ese are living prosperously in Bra- zil. Japanese immigration to Brazil in past years has been largely con- fined to the State of Sao Paulo and other Southern States. But the future movement seems head- ed for the Amazon Valley. In recent months there has been special activity in Para and within a short period it is expected that 1,000 Japanese will be arriving in the Amazon Valley monthly. Rub- ber and the babassu nut are their chief interest. ——————— BOY BABY BORN Dr. Kearsley reports the birth of a baby boy to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Passells, at Douglas, at 10:30 o'clock this forenoon, weight 9 pounds. - — ATTENTION REBEKAHS Perseverance Rebekah Lodge will hold their regular meeting Wed- nesday, April 24th, at 8 p. m.
