CAPTAL'S LG STOLDTOLION City Is “Voteless Wonder,” Brewster Declares to Visitors. Tailure of Congress to devote more attention to the needs of the vote- less Capital of the Nation yesterday drew an indictment of that legisla- tive body from Representative Ralph C. Brewster, Republican, of Maine, who was the principal speaker at a luncheen meeting of the Lions’ Club of Washington, in honor of visiting Lions attending the Shrine conven- tion. About 100 attended the meeting in the Mayflower Hotel, including nobles | from a score or more of cities. who joined in a lusty verbal tribute to William C. Miller, past potentate of Almas Temple and past president of the Washington Lions’ Club. Repre- sentative Chauncey W. Reed, Repub- lican, of Illinois, member of the Dis- trict Crime Committee, also was & guest. Although Brewster had taken part | in the attacks made on Representa- tive Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, last Monday in the House, growing out of the report of the Crime Committee, the former Gover- nor of Maine, yesterday said he did not wish to take any unfair advan- | tage of the Texan's absence from the | luncheon meeting. Crime discussion, therefore, was tabooed, and Brewster | at the outset of his brief address | called attention to the uniqu¢ posi- tion of a great city without the voice of the ballot. Held “Voteless Wonders.” “You are the voteless wonders of the world.” he said, “to have achieved | 50 much for this city where you have | no vote and no prevailing voice in | your affairs. “It is indeed an indictment of Con- gress that men of inelligence who must pass on legislation for the Dis- trict do not give more thought and | concentrated attention to your needs and interests.” Brewster declared that Washington | has become more than just the Capi- tal of the Nation, and is now re- garded as the capital of humanity, where must be drawn. he said, those | minds seeking the “salvation of the world.” ) Avolding partisanship in discussing | the changing political conditions | which mark the “birth throes of a| new era,” Brewster said the’ citizens | of the country will be called upon to determine whether they “will fol- | Jow the messiah in the White House | or concentrate themselves to the ideals | which have prevailed for three cen- | turies.” | Tribute Paid Miller. Charles H. Hilligeist, president of | the Lions' Club, presided and paid a tribute to Past President Miller. He | also introduced the visiting Shriners. Vergus Potter and Charles W. Hoover had charge of arrangements for the meeting and the Lions' quartet fur- nished entertainment. Among the Shrine nobles who are also prominent Lions in their home towns were G. H. Van Gastel of Cleveland, Ohio; R. W. Walton of Columbus, Ohio; Dr. Irving M. Deiz and Kurt Brammer of Corpus Christi. Tex.: John F. Lowe of Baltimore; E. H. Mentzer of Philadelphia; Mr. | and Mrs, James Pigman of Dalhart. Tex.; W. L. Millar of Madison, Wis.: Hayward C. Dunham of Bangor, Me. Stuart M. Pigman of Dalhart, Tex.: James C. Alban of Baltimore; C. H.| Smith of Bangor, Me.: N. B. Waller of Predericc. Md.; F. B. Morrison of Marion, Ohio; S. E. Culver of West Hartford, Conn.; H. E. Jones of Gale- ville, Conn.; Joe M. Davis of Hastings, | Nebr.: Irving E. Grumey of Grand | Rapids, Mich., and P. H. Shafer of Battle Creek, Mich. James Pigman of Dalhart intro- duced his 11-year-old son Jimmie, | who, he said. has become quite famous at drawing the lion head insignia of | the clubs at international meetings he has attended. | — e - MARINES ENTERTAIN | NOBLES AT QUANTICO| Shriners Make River Cruise to Famons Base for Lunch and | Demonstrations. | —_ | The scimitar and erescent mixed and mingled with the globe and anchor today when several hundred Nobles of the Mystic Shrine paid a visit to the | famous Marine base at Quantico as a | featured ‘side trip” of the national Shrine Conchave. | The red-fezzed excursionists left Washington this forenoon on the steamet Potomac for a two-hour cruise down the river, arriving at Quantico at 12 o’clock. The visitors were greeted by the post’s Marine Band and a group of officers who escorted them to the audi- torium. Half an hour after their ar- rival “chow lines” were formed and the Fleet Marine Force Band pre- | sented a concert as the Shriners ate their lunch. Because of the weather last night, the Marines had prepared virtually | every mess hall at the base to care for | the diners in case of another dowin- ur. wMur the luncheon the Fleet. Marine Force was to turn out for a military | review and demonstration on the pa- rade ground. Later, the Marine avia- tion units were to give a demonstration and air circus. | The Shriners were scheduled to leave the post at 2:30 p.m. and to ar- | rive back in Washington &t 4:30 o'clock. | WILL EXPLAIN BUREAU| Director of Commerce Division to Speak Tonight in WMAL Broadcast.

Guests Attend Luncheon at That's the question congres- sional doorkeepers had to solve in a hurry as Shriners poured into the House and Senate galleries. The fez, usually may be worn indoors with propriety, but never is any one permitted to wear his hat in a congressional gallery. Many Shriners bared their heads in the galleries, while others sat be-fezzed. Apparently doorkeepers decided it was all right, for none was reprimanded. Shoreham.

WASHIN MANEUVERS TODAY Spectacular Combat to Be Depicted on Ellipse at 2:30 P.M. Spectacular combat scenes based on actual war incidents, methods of ex- tracting disabled truck trains under fire, elaborate special drills without command, and other military events culminating in a full regimental re- treat parade, will feature the final Shrine Army exhibition to be given by the 34th Infantry on the Ellipse be- ginning at 2:30 p.m. today. ‘The second of the Army exhibitions, yesterday afternoon on the Ellipse, was witnessed by a crowd of more| than 8,000 Shrine visitors. Crowds visiting the 34th Infantry model field camp just west of the Washington | Monument have been increasing daily since the regiment went into camp last Saturday, and record attendance | is expected today. | Today's program will be similar to that of yesterday, but with several additional events and some changes in personnel. With two days of ex- | | hibitions behind them, the officers | and men of the regiment have ironed |out the few rough spots occurring in | the opening day's exhibition and to- | day's show is expected to be a fast- | moving program without a dead spot | in the entire three hours. The climax of yesterday's program | ON, was a demonstration of wall scaling by the 2d battalion of the regiment, composed of three rifie companiés and & machine gun company, under com- mand of Maj. George L. Febiger. The entire battalion went over a smooth ‘wall 12 feet high, with full equipment, the machine gun company setting up | into action in less than two minutes from a standing start. Company G, | commanded by Capt. Charles M. Wal- | ton, got every officer and man over the wall i 85 seconds from the time the signal to charge the wall was given, A spectator of the wall scaling was | Gen. Henry G. Learned, U. 8. A., re- tired, who was the first man to reach the top of the wall at Peking, China, during the allied assault on the city | during the Boxer Rebellion in 1902. Gen. Learned, then a second lieuten- ant In the 14th Infantry, led the first | assault wave against the historic wall when it was carried bv the 9th and 14th Infantry Regiments.

A Wide Seamless Floor-Covering for Homes, Offices, Hotels, Stores We are pleased to introduce to Washington the result of ht years experimenting to produce a quality but inex- e floor-covering material. * 9x12 Size Best, All-Hair Construction Before Broadfelt was put on the market a 6x9 rug was laid in the Strangers Within The Gates WHEREVER people travel they feel the need of milk. When people leave their home communities to “see the sights,” attend a convention, or behold a great spectacle, their recreation means extra work for the milkman. “Demand” for his product rises swiftly to a peak of consumption. His regular customers, for the most part, continue to re- quire their daily service. How to take care of these mer- curial ascents of the con- sumption “curve” is a prob- lem in its own right. The corporate milkman scans the horizon, and dimensions the shadows of coming events. This convention will bring ten thousand strangers for a week. That meeting will draw fifty thousand. One hundred thousand visitors to his city will put a severe pressure on all his facilities. He has to keep in close touch with his sources of supply and know just what’s what at his country receiving sta- tions. No hardening of his transpor- tation arteries can be per- mitted to slow down his sensitive circulatory system. Whether the “demand” is for ten thousand quarts or a mil- lion quarts a day, the corpo- rate milkman must be—and consistently is—on the job.
