Old-Timers Recall Youth. The atmosphere of 40 years ago on Newspaper Row in Washington, when the Gridiron Club was formed, was given when a group of “old-timers,” dressed in their silk hats and frock coats, buttoned up high, entered the hall, two of them pushing old-fash- foned Dicyeles with a large wheel in front and a small one behind. They began talking about “Coolldge for Vice President,” “Butler of Massa- " “Leader Curtis” and “Gen. but it finally developed that those were not the names of the men in the public eye today, but Thomas Jefferson Coolidge of Massachusetts Ben Butler, George William Curtis.

The orchestra made all the motions of plaving a selection, but with the instruments making no sound. ‘‘That is known as the Charles E. Hughes movement,” it was explained.

The next, he. said, is a scherzo pres. tissimo, which means ‘“light-hearted, but going like hell,” and is the Harry Daugherty movement. There were several othermovements, but they were all just like that, sald Mr. Johnson, and he congratulated Marine Band “in being so thor- || in accord with the musical policies of the administration.” The two members initiated were Charles Michelson, correspondent of the New York World, and James D. uperintendent of the United nate press gallery. They were haled before the club and put through a vigorous hazing. Mr. Michelson insisted he had every pos- sible qualification for membership, because he had represented a Repub- lcan paper in the last Democratic ad- ministration and a Democratic news- paper in the last two Republican ad- ministrations, as well as serving an apprenticeship under William Ran- dolph Hearst.

Porto Rico The Magic Island No people, no country, in all history have made more rapid advancement than the little island lying to the south- east of the United States. Once Porto Rico's people were poor. Once they had desperatcly meager educational facilities. Once there was but slight hope of industrial advancement. Once there was suffering, real and prolonged. Once social conditions were chaotic. Where once there was hopcless- ness Porto Rico now is ambitious. Where once the people generally felt genuine need there has come prosperity. Where once ;gnorance stalked fine schools have made great inroads. Wl’lere once broad fields !tOOd une- Hevcloped rich harvests now are garnerecl. Truly an amazing story. America's hand has figured largely in the swift, sure advancement of the island. Uncle Sam has proceeded without stint and without favor in ad- vancing the financial, political, social and economic interests of the island.
