The fifth anniversary of its char. ter presentation will be celebrated by the Civitan Club of Washington at a banquet Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock at the New Willard Hotel. Homer J. Councilor will deliver the principal address at the banquet, which will be followed by a program =(| of stunts by club members and other entertainment. Presidents of the Richmond, An- napolis and Baltimore Civitan Clubs will attend the banquet with many members of their local organizations. Organized by a group of local busi- ness and professional men, the charter of the Washington Club was present- ed to it May , 1921, by Senator Un. derwood, representing the parent club in Birmingham, Ala. The Birming- ham Club was formed after the war by a group of Birmingham business men who had been brought together |in public work during the war and | who, in deciding to extend the idea of the organization to other cities, cre- jated the Civitan International. During its five years of existence here the Civitan Ciub has engaged in | many public activities to promote the prosperity of the city. One of its first | undertakings was the financing of | the Salvation Army fresh air camp at | Patuxant. Md. The club a s sted in the work of the American ization School here, financed for | several years the Boys' Garden Club, and for the past year has financed the dental clinic at the Children’s Hospi tal. Present officers of the club are Thomas M. Stearn, president; John N. Swartzell, first vice president; Grant S. Barnhart, second vice president; Thomas Phillips, third vice president; Charles B. Lyddane, treasurer, and W. O. Hiltabidle, secretary. ;Bavarinu Girls to Be Part of Ger- man Exhibit at Philadelphia.

[PASSING OF HISTORIC SHOREHAM RECALLS NOTABLE GATHERINGS — Long Series of Brilliant Functions and Illustrious 01/'- ficial Life, Including Presidential and Ambassa- dorial Hospitality, Another chapter in Washington hotel history is coming to a close. On the last day of May the Shoreham Hotel will bid farewell to its last guest and shut its doors to the public. 1t is a brilliant 36 vears since for- men Vice President Levi P. Morton built the famous hostelry on the site of one of the best known old houses in Washington. The original house had belonged to Samuel Harrison Smith of the “National Intelligencer,” and was afterwards owned by Repre- sentative Samuel Hopper. In it Gen. George B. McClellan lived briefly when he was restored to command of the Army of the Potomac by Lincoln in 1862, Its neighbors were once the homes of Gen. Willlam 7Tecumseh Sherman at 817 Fifteenth street and James G. Blaine at 821 during the administration of President Hayes. A block away, on the corner of Lafayette Square, is the Cosmos Club, and the square itself is also one of the most interesting places in all Washington. Washington has been noted for world-famous hotels since the days of 1791, when Suter's Tavern was open- ed in historic Georgetown. Some of the books written in the '60s rail at poor food and accommodations, but even they gdmit the brilliance of the men and women who congregated in the lobbies and corridors. And by the time the Shoreham opened its doors, a well defined standard of excellence in culsine and service had been estab. lished. Name From Vermont. The name “Shoreham” is for Levi Morton's birthplace in Vermont, and the hotel itself, probably because it was smaller, more intimate, and be- cause of its ownership, assumed at once a leading place in the social life of the city. Tn 1912 it was bought by J. Maury Dove, and that Summer it was re- decorated completely. On January 4, 1918, it was reopened under the man. agement of Robert Downs, and short- Iy afterwards Robert C. Dove took r the position of managing direc- tor. But he went into the war in 1917 as a captain and J. Maury Dove, jr.. held the reins untfl 1919, when Robert C. Diove came back. Two remarkable dinners were given at the Shoreham immediately after it reopened in 1913, one to President Taft and the other to Senator Guggenheim. Woodrow Wilson had a sulte in the hotel, and went to his inaugural from | its portals. He gave a family dinner the night before that. and Princeton class, celebrated the night of March 1913, by another dinner there. Vice President Marshall lived in the Shoreham for two vears, going also to take his oath from his rooms there. Kost Tells History. Leon J. Kost, assistant manager, who was in a position to know whim- | icalities of the folk who came to the | eham, relates: It has been to me the most won derful hotel of those in which I have worked, including the Metropole in London, the Roma in Milan, the Wal. dorf in New York, and the Bellevue- Stratford in Philadelphfa. Never have 1 seen so many gatherings of powerful and famous people. During the Wilson administration, we had a White House table, and there was almost never a cabinet meeting that did not end at luncheon here. Among the Republicans who stayed here was Senator Lodge. “Many forelgn commissions had Kill the Moths Manahan Tarine Gar- ment Bags, moth and dust proof Manahan per, 10x48; Tarine Moth Tarine 12 sheets in insects; quart size ... ] Flag Insect Powder, large bottles, 250 Refrigerators .

We had the Jap- anese, the Russian military commis- sion, all of the Serbian commissloners, the Belglans, the English, the Italians. Many and many a day in wartime there would be long lines of people standing in the street waiting to get in, because so many headquarters were here. We had to have special police assigned to us to keep them in order, and make sure only those with actual business came through. The dining rooms were a pageant of bril- liant color at night, with the uniforms of the men and thelr decorations and the beautiful gowns of the women. Pershing Had Suite. “Gen. Pershing went from here to his expedition into Mexico, and we were ready for him when he came back to prepare for going to France. He was our guest with his suite when he came home victorious in 1919, and they occupied the entire third floor, in the same place that Mr. Wilson had had before he went to the White House. There were continual demon- strations around the hotel while Gen. Pershing was here, and always, crowds were waiting outside to see him when he went out. He was espe- clally fond of children and would pick them up and talk to them whenever they came by. It was in 1919, too. that he gave a series of dinners for the visiting allled generals, Haig, Foch and Joftre. Then came the Arms Conference, and this time we were headquarters for the Japanese, with Prince Toku- gawa as their chief, and seventy-two in the party. They entertained con- tinually and lavishly. “One of the most himeresunz inet- dents I remember, however, was ‘August, 1914, Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Ambassador, and Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, had been warm friends before that time and used to come frequently for meals. Always they sat together. But after the war was declared, they came in one day at almost the same time. Personally, they still were triends, but officially, thgy could not recognize each other. So I seated one at one end of the dining goom and ‘the other at the other end, and there- after we. kept a divided house. The Austrian Ambassador gave Count von Bernstorff a dinner the night after he had received his passports, and he left Washington the following day to safl for Germany. And the Au‘s!rian himself was entertained by George Vanderbilt just before Vanderbilt died. All the Presidents who have held office in the years since we first opened have come to us at some time."” END OF ALL KINGS SEEN. Count von Bernstorff Says Mon- archist Era Is Done. BERLIN, May 22 (®.—Count von Bernstorff, talking of ‘the possible re- turn of the Hohenzollerns to power in Germany, said that in his judg. ment there was no chance for them either now or at any time. “In another 50 years there will be no more Kings or queens except on playing cards,” he sald “The whole current of our age is against monarch- fes. They have no further place in the government of states.” Don’t Fail to See Demonstration of the Sparklet Syphon -On 2nd Floor Cool, Sparkling Drinks lade in a Minute Just a Sparklet Syphon, a box of Sparklet Bulbs and Cold Water—that's all!

By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, May 22.—The fa- millar cry of “Ple! ple!” by Sheriff Fred Kohler's hawkers in county jafl wag missing today. So was the sale of newspapers and other extras, Orders to discontinue peddling in | the prison were issued shortly before Kohler went before the county grand Jury to defend his “starvation diet” and deny charges of profiteering in Jail luxuries at the expense of the inmates. Kohler asserted that he had “lost money feeding prisoners.” The grand jury investigation start- ed upon reports that Kohler charged the prisoners 10 cents a cut for ple; b cents for newspapers, which sold on the streets for 2 cents; 20 cents for clgarettes and b cents for two boxes of 1-cent matches. Announcement of the discontinu- ance of all “extras” followed a_con- ference between Common Pleas Judge Frank C. Philllps, who ordered the investigation, and Chief Deputy Martinez. Reports reached Phillips that 50 prisoners who revolted Wed- nesday against the “starvation dfet’ were being punished for the rebellion after being assured no such treat- ment would be accorded. It was this promise by Judge Phillips that ended the revolt. The grand jury’s report asserted that prices charged prisoners for mer- chandise in the county jail are ex- orbitant and the meals served them “totally and wholly inadquate,” and recommended that the Common Pleas Court judges order, Sheriff Kohler to serve sufficient quantities of whole- some food and regulate the sale and prices charged prisoners for cigar- ettes, ples and other jafl luxuries. Judge Phillips announced he would call a special meeting of the Judges grand jury. = — cabarets, hotel amusements, rest: 3 au- rants and beer halls in Turkey must Pay a tax to the government ing to a new law and the Illinoi any one that f, watch that o] More r peci: 9 Bracelet This beautiful wrist watch for women. vear white gold filled engraved case, 16-jewel A guaranteed time-keeper. shape. movement.
