SLUMP SATIRIZED BY GRIDIRON CLUB = Skit at Dinner Pictures “Gin- ral” Prosperity as Merely Taking Nap. ‘The Gridiron Club refused to take & view of the business and economic future of the country at its annual Spring dinner last night in the ‘Willard Hotel. 1t insisted that “Gin'ral Prosperity,” wearied by jazz, gin, stock tickers, bridge and fast hving “gin’rally” merely in seclusion, taking & nap, and would turn n&:hortly with renewed vigor. President Hoover, a guest of honor, was not permitted, however, to labor under any delusions concerning the political outlook. As the newly elected president of the club, Jay G. Hayden of the Detroit News, remarked: “The relative calm we are now ex- periencing may be only the sultry still- ness that precedes the storm. Not later than next December the tom-toms will resume their beating on the national ear drums, and their din may make the turmoil of recent months seem as but & passing zephyr.” Skit Satirizes Club Rehearsal. The club strove to be unbiased and non-partisan, distributing its barbs as evenly as possible among all factions, Republican, Democratic and insurgent. It made even itself the target for some of its own shafts in a skit satirizing a club rehearsal. The program dealt with a variety of subjects—economic conditions, drought 1 m.m&-om that all hands had | son, holu.l.nluzn.

I know what to do.’ Robinson Calls for Volunteers, ‘The storm continued with unabated violence and Joe Robinson called for volunteers to stick to the ship, Al Capone emerged from hiding and stepped forward into the bright spot- light, shouting, “I will.” “I'm the stowaway on this good ship,” he replied. “All that I am and all that I hope to be I owe to prohibition. Oh, glorious eighteenth amendment, would I ever desert you? Not on your ma- chine gun.” Polishing his revolver with his hand- kerchief, Capone sang to the tune of “The Curse of an Aching Heart": “You made me what I -m today, I hope you're satisfie You built me up and “D until ] 1 stand here in my pride. I make a billion every week, I've done well from the start. Don't dare to repeal or you will feel The curse of an aching heart.” At this juncture Mrs. Willebrandt came out of hiding and volunteered to stick to the ship. To the tune of “Heaven Will Protect a Working Girl,” she_sang: "Prohlbman. it is fine, But we still must have our wine And Vine-Glo’s just the thing to give a whirl. Don’t dare stop me in my mission Saving_drys from prohibition, Poruflenven will protect a working Capt. Wickersham put the question relief, the Russian problem, the Farm Board's vicissitudes, chain newspapers, hibition, what to do with the Virgin slands, indiscreet speeches of Marine officers, party, irregularity, Democratic dissention and the political hurdles shead of the administration. Magicians, bolsheviks, racketeers, pro- hibitionists, anti - prohibitionists, W!Gt Indian natives, Nobel prize winners, farm relievers, dole ndvoena political auctioneers trying to resell Hoover to the country—all passed across the stage in colorful procession to an accompani- ment of music and jest. Smedley Butler, Al cnpone.. Mabel ‘Walker Willebrandt, Senator Norris, Dr. Fess, Franklin Roosevelt, Calvin Cool- idge, Stalin, Secretary Hyde, Chairman Wickersham and John J. Raskob were tossed together in a hntum: mixture of personalities now in the spotlight. President Hoover Speaks. President Hoover, as courtesy and tra- dition required, was invited to express his own thoughts concerning the ad- ministration’s problems. He accepted, but his remarks, in accordance with the cluhl ancient rule that “reporters l.re resent” at Gridiron dinners, is Wlt.hh from publication. Maj Gen. Smedley D. Butler, U. 8 M. C., & guest at the dinner, witnsssed the club’s court-martial of an officer, suppcsedly himself, but who turned out Bg Capt. Taylor Branson, leader of lhe United States Mal ly elected a limited member of the Cridiron. Club. -“Without apology,” it was_ennounced, the club presented its historic episode e titled ‘You Can't Tell the Marines. The defendant in the court-martial scene was charged as follows: “That on or about St. Swithin's day, . | hidin in a keg if home-brew in North rine Band, recent- | Ray-: of sticking to the ship to a vote. Only Joe Robinson, Capone and Mrs. Wille- brandt voted “aye” against a thunder- ous roar of “noes,” hu%‘wmkenhnn de- | Ki clared “The ayes have it.” The skit closed with the chorus singing to the tune of “In the Good Old Summer Time": “When it's nineteen-thirty-two, ‘There will be a great to-do; Maine to hg-mmnh. you'll ‘hear the Drn lnd wets are :emnc set %tmg:n’u be e A something dolnx when it's nineteen-thirty-two.” Where’s Ginril Prosperity? An Italian pzanut vender punhcd hu cart upon the stage and a policeman on the meev. corner the mysterious disappearance of Gin'ril Prosperity. He was first reported “just around the corner,” but the report proved to be incorrect. The policeman continued: “Th’ nixt heard iv him was whin Roger Babson ray-ported seein’ him in a barrel iv statistics in th’ Pacific Ocean; John Raskob felt sure he was Carliny; Sin'tor Wheeler said he'd gone t" Ro-osha t' wur-rk tin years on th’ five-year plan; Carther Glass said he was locked in th’ vault iv a Fed'ral sarve Bank in New York. Some blamed his goin’ away on Calvin Cool- ‘d‘elk‘z writin’, an’ some on Jimmy Valee's singin’. mxnz'tdlyawhyhgwlm.t‘nnt.hn’u tdl ye how ¢’ bring him back. They'd have turned over th’' job long ago (' th’ Nye Commy-tee iv it wasn't fr th’ in the city of Philadelphia, where he | ixpinse, in trouble once before, Maj. . Smedley Butler, in an alleged tpeech. made the following statement, of Nlu:l:’.u "ML nmng mcy1° whi T cle, Tan over a squad of Marines and didn't even stop.’” Replies to Queries With Violin. hRsugn s coumact it e was oy | Y8 his cout “that was_only for & lecture tour in Haiti where they never heard of Fort " He also asked the privilege of making answer to the questions of the coun in music, it being alleged that he had “already talked too much.” As the court put its questions, the defend- ant replied with his violin. The senior admiral of the court asked when he intended to cease belnc the “bad boy of the Marine Corps” and the answer was ig the strains of “In the Sweet By and By.” “What did Secretary Stimson of the State Department tell the Americans in Nicaragua?” was another question, to which the reply was “There’s No Place Like Home.” ‘When it was finally reveultd that it was not Gen. Butler, but Cap. Bran- son, the Marine Band marched to the stage pla the hymn of the Corps, “The Halls of Montezuma.” Capt. Bran- son was congratulated upon his elec- tion to the club by John Philip Sousa, ‘who 42 yeaw ago, when he was leader of the Marine Band, also became a limited member of the Gridiron Club, and taking command of the band, Capt. Branson dlrected the playing of the “Gridiron Club March,” composed by Storm Effect Created. ‘With all Ulhu out a volce in the @arkness recite “It's & runy ‘night on the political deep. That battered and belabored ship, the eighmnth amendment, is swept by gales and rocked by storms. What will be her fate as she plunges through the heavy pelitical seas, trying to make harbor in 1932, with the An- cient Mariner, George W. Wickersham, at_the wheel?” Wind howled through the banquet hall, lightning flashed and thunder roared, creating a thoroughly realistic mrm effect. A faint light fl.lumlnlud scene as the chorus sang to ':une of “Sailing”: Pro-hi-bi-tion, sailing the stormy spray. She’s floating yet, but getting wet And wetter every day. Pro-hi-bi-tion, under the gale’s hard knocks. What will Hoover do, in thirty-two, If she goes on the rocks?” The violence of the storm increased o the proportions of a hurricane as the coming of dawn revealed the good ship rocking in heavy seas. Dr. Wick- ersham was clinging to the helmsman’s ‘wheel, Senator Fess, “the flying Dutch- man”; Senator Robinson, as Jonah; John J. Raskob, as Capt. Kidd, and Representative ~La Guardia were frouped on the deck, and hidden in ‘background were Al Capone lnfl‘:_:d = ‘Willebrandt. La Guardia, rush: ing forward excitedly, exclaimed: “Capt. chkersh.lm, the ship’s sprung another leak. “More water coming in?” ersham. ‘Wicks Scotch,” replied La “No, Guardia. “Heavens,” exclaimed Raskob, hold is full of highballs.” Capt. Wickersham chanted: “Water, water everywhere, Yet how the drys’ votes shrink; ‘Water, water everywhere And only Scotch to drink.” Looks Like Democratic Weather. “Ancient Mariner Wickersham,” sal La Guardia, “this is the worst political | J0 storm I ever saw.

Drought Deadlock Described. ‘The recent deadlock in Congress over the appropriations for drought relief Was described in a scene on “the Old Homestead,” in which Secretary Hyde almost collapsed when he was forced to use “the awful word food.” The trend toward chain newspaper o‘ne“h‘tfie as exemplified in the recent sale of New York World, was pic- tured in a skit showing the reporters marching lockstep in uniform and,pull- ing their copy out of & clothes ringer on long rolls of yellow paper. Roy W. Howard, who engineered the World dell was described as the “man who over- turned 400 years of geographical sci- ence.” To puzzled listeners, it was ex- plained that “in 1491 Columbus cracked an egg, and behold! the world was round; in 1931, Mr. Howard cracked }:efl?unwer wil, and behold! the World at. President Hoover’s recent voyage to the West Indies was dramatized in a brilliant-hued presenution entitled “The Happy Isles.” The President, as ing Bozo, returned convinced that the Ishnd: should be given back to Denmark. A glimpse into the future of the Re- publican campaign was furnished in a dhlo‘\l! in which Robert H. Lucas, execulve director of the Republican National Committee, undertook to sell the record to the voters. The “record” was represented by a cloth- ing story dummy hung with a suit that had obviously seen better days. Mr. Lucas asked his customers to overlook the holes in the garment and insisted that the material was still good. ‘Those attending the Gridiron Club dinner were: ‘The President of the United States. ‘The Ambassador of Germany. ‘The Ambassador of Poland.

C. *x Kk k k Xk %k ounselor of the Turkish Embassy for three years in Washington by appointment of the President and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Formerly First Secretary in various Embassies in Europe. Director of Foreign Section at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Turkey. The more extensive a man’s acquaintance with the com- parative merits of gasolines and motor fuels—the more readily he recognizes the true worth of Amoco-Gas. It is a distinct tribute to the quality and uniformity of Amoco-Gas, that a motorist of Mr. Bedi’s international experience should select this original special motor fuel for, use in his car while stationed in the United States.
