This enabled the club to throw considerable new light cn sev- eral of the‘mor:h perplexelxr‘ntz problems of the American Government. A ghostly parade of President ‘Hoover's discarded lieutenants and ad- Visers was climaxed by the participants embracing Claudius H. Huston, chair- man of the Republican national com- mittee, and welcoming him to “Never- Never Land.” In the interest of even-nanded jus- tice to both major political parties, the club put on a thrilling circus act deal- ing with the recent cymnastic feats of gome of the Democratic Senators dur- ing the final stages of the tariff Lattle. Benators Tydings of Maryland, Hawes of Missouri, Ashhurst of Arizona, Cope- Jand of New York and Walsh of Mas- sachusetts, the star verformers, were presented by the ringmaste 3 “Prof. Grundy’s troup of trained Demogratic tight rope walkers.” Guest List at Dinner.

As the dinner began, & nerve-shat- tering crash of falling dishes and glass ware was heard in the offing. A mem- ber rushed forward and as the startled guests looked about anxionsly for an explanation, President Charles S. Groves of the Gridiron Club exclaimed: “For heaven’s sake, what was that terrible crash?” “That was the Senate” came the answer, “welcoming President Hoover's nominations for the Supreme Court.” Spirit of Dr. Work Appears. The lights went out and the orches- tra began playiig weird music as the spirit of Dr. Work and four ghosts marched on the stage. The spirit of Dr. Work addresses the audience: “Many faces are missing which were familiar when the Hoover adminisf tion was inaugurated. The woods are full of political ghosts and there will be more. Their story is the Lost Leaders’ Where are they now? He proceeded then to recite as follows: Tell me now where Horace Mann is— Col.

Smoot, I've just got a job with the Watch and Ward Society of Boston, selling the Saturday Evening Post to Harvard University.” Lady Chatterly's Lover then sang “There Ought to Be a Law it ‘That,” which ran, in part, as follows: £t you w Said denator Binoot, My Fhics you miust abey Elizabethan language will not do, The Customs experts have their eye on you.

Forty-Five Years Ago. Members of the organization, garbed as were the charter members of the Gridiron Club in 1885, put on an an- niversary skit.

A parade turned up Pennsylvania avenue. It turned out to be the Sons and Daughters of Temperance on the way to ask the President not to serve wines at White House state dinners. ‘The Gridironers took their guests to Hollywood, disclosing a movie producer and a couple of camera men. The were discussing the visit of former President Coolidge. “What a voice for our new talkie of ‘Way Down East’'” sald one of the camera men. “I see that since returning from Hollywood Mr. Coolidge has said he does not intend to run for public office again,” continued the camera man, “That's what he says today,” replied the other, “but listen”; and to the tune of “Tit Willow” he sang the following: By a tree in Northampton a gentleman sat, aSinging, - ¥, fOMOITOW, tomorrow.” Tomorrow, tomorfow, tomorrow?

He read one suggestion from Alfred E. Smith, which follows: “The South should have won the war of and the West should have been given back to the Indians.” ‘The folowing dialogue between two members of the club introduced the new civilian member of the District Commission, Gen. Crosby, a guest at the dinner: First member: “What is that mili- tary noise like a troup of cavalry?” Second member: “That’s Maj. Gen. Crosby, the new civilan Commissioner of the District of Columbla, arriving at this dinner.” First member: “Hitch your horse a moment, general, and dismount.

Is that custom still followed?” “It's & little different now,” came the reply. “If that affair happened today Miles Standish would sue John Alden for allenation of affections; Priscilla would swat Standish with her spinning wheel, a jury would find her not guilty and the tabloids would be plastered with pictures of the love nest.” “I remember,” said another, “when one of our colony was accused of bribing the Indians to get their land.” “It wouldn't be bribery nowadays, was the response, “it would be called loan to an old friend.” Attention was called to the fact that Mr. Groves came from Massachusetts and fear was expressed that the White House might “object to another New England President,” but a reassuring answer was given: “The White House would not object to a New England president—of the Gridiron Club.” Thereupon President Groves was for- mally inducted into office without further delay and presented with a gavel made from the handle of a Puri- tan ducking stool.
