SURPRISE PLANNED FOR SICK VETERANS Stout hearts at Walter Reed Hos- pital were aflutter today in anticipa tion of a visit from *Miss Australia,” otherwise Miss Phyllis Von Ilwyn, who has come from the beauty pageant at Atlantic City to gladden the eyes of disabled veterans here. From the wounded soldiers of Australia she brings the men at Walter Reed a message of good cheer. Miss Von Ilwyn will spend most of her time sightseeing as she leaves to- morrow for New York. She is accom- panied by her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Van Ilwyn. Another fair visitors who has cap- tured Washington is Miss Alice iarry, the high school girl of the Government Indian school mnear em, Oreg., who' was ‘“Princess America” at the Atlantic Clty pageant. Miss Garry is delighted with Washington, and today made a trip to Mount Vernon to the tomb of the ‘“Great White Father” about whom she studied at school. Tomorrow she will visit President Coolidge at the White House. Miss Garry is a descendant of one of the “first families of America,” for it was her greatgreat-grand- ather, Chief Spokane Garry, for whom the City of Spokane was named. She is heing chaperoned by Miss Avis Lobdell, women’s welfare director of the Union Pacific system, and is stopping at the Willard Hotel | KIRBY HERE FOR DUTY.

Risley, solicitor for the department, wrestled with the problem of whether a trap drummer ig an “artist” or a manual laborer. He dug long and deeply into ponderous law tomes, wishing to | make a ruling that would be fair and would stand up. Then the artists, or whatever they are, cut the Gordian knot themselves by quietly boarding a ship and sailing back to France. Now all is serene and quiet until another case of the same character comes up. But in the meantime the knotty question of whether the musican who pounds out the snappy strains of the latest “Black Bottom” tune is an artist or a laborer is unsettled. xx 1 R TR I RN I E NN RS I RN IR I KN IR I RN XTI KX TR AP S IR T EF T A S RE =3 X I X I XX I XX KX EX I XX XN IR R X IR R RN I RN AN I RN I AN AR IR X I L I AN I E S XX XX I XX I EWICRIEFIEF I XX EXTEX I X1 LN X X XX I KX I XX EX I XX I XX EX I XX I RN AN NI AR (XX IEI XTI KA XX I NI XXI KT lK!lxxtxxwxxxt!xxxlxxk()lixxxxll‘llxxrxxx THESE ARE THE THREE FALLSTYLES ACCEPTED BY UNIVERSITY MEN Hart Schaffner style experts have covered ever leading university in America AND THESE ARE THE SUITS 1 .
