About Well-Known Folk In Books, Art, Politics Baby Senator Holt’s Birthday—Mrs. W. F. Kelley, Super-Orator—Charles Edson Interested i BY ROBERT CRAWFORD. Next Wednesday will be the day of days for the plucky boy Senator- elect from West Virginia, for on that day Senator Henry Hatfleld, his Re- publican opponent whom he defeated in the last election, will contest his right to the seat in the Senate on the grounds that Mr. Holt did not | meet the age requirement at the start of the term for which he was elected. The Constitution recites that “No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of 30 years and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and who shall, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.” Well, the young Senator-elect says Henry Clay was only 29 when seated and Andrew Jackson had just reached 30 when he took his seat. Mr. Holt s very proud of the fact that he re- ceived 15,000 more majority than did President Roosevelt in 1932. In passing: If one wishes to see the boy Senator-elect he will have to pick his way down to the nether regions of the handsome Senate Office Building to find him, for his suite is | in the basement, where the view from | the windows is just a high embank- ment, with a little ray of daylight coming over the top. Now, please understand that Mr. Holt was not sent down there because he was & bad boy and presumed to be elected to that august body, the United States Senate, before he was old | enough to be sworn in, for he really chose the basement suite because he liked it. Senator James John Davis, the Welshman from Pennsylvania, had occupied the rooms before him, but for personal reasons had pro- gressed higher up. Neither is the Senator-elect trying to hide from his constituents, for they come by the score and receive & right hearty welcome. Judging from | the West Virginia papers, they are awtully proud of their choice—and he has been able to help out a bit, too, for among the things he can do before being seated is to sign post office ap- pointments. And he brought all his office force from home—they are hand picked. He can pay them, draw his salary and has all the emolu- ments of the office of a Senator— except he cannot ride on the railroad at the expense of the taxpayers. Good health, energy and good cheer pervade the room as the athletic figure rises from his chair and gives a hearty handshake—regular foot ball grip. Mr. Holt was foot ball and n Old Inns. meaning from the ground up, and out in Towa the farmers are digging up culture instead of crops. Word comes that 150 men and women have re- versed things and have exchanged the ploughshare and the milk pail for light opera, and on June 19, are going to give a performance of the “Bohemian Girl.” Amateur singers from 40 Iowa counties are to take part. Secretary ef Agriculture Wallace was made an honorary LL.

All's fair in love and war—and poli- tics, and Gov. and Mrs. Talmadge of Georgia have invited Mrs. Roosevelt to visit them at the Governor's man- sion, when she expects to attend the convention of the American Prison Association at Atlanta October 27-31. It's & great stunt to have the wife of thegPresident, who claims Georgia as his second State, a guest, and whose paternal ancestors on the distaff side were of the old aristocracy of that State and loved the Southern cause. Mrs. Roosevell's grandmother was born and reared in Georgia. Omaha, Mr. Wililam Woodward's horse that won the Kentucky Derby, is going to have his portrait painted. He can afford to, for he has won for his owner something over $100,000 and is still going strong. Any horse that can win the Kentucky Derby, Prenk- ness and Belmont—and is looking to- ward the Ascot Cup—should have his picture in the hall of fame. Since the P. W.

He likes his fellow-meri and believes in them: while he observes all the social ameni- ties of polite society, he thinks a man should be judged by his usefulness to society—his intrinsic worth; “the gold is but the guinea stamp.” and he is inclined to think fashionable society looks a bit too much at a man's bank account. Mr. Holt, doubtless, agrees with Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt's outlook on the future: The other day she told the graduating class of the University of North Carolina that success in the future would be gauged by the individual's service to his | community and not by financial suc- | cess, The baby Senator-elect—he’s ! husky-looking as the Dionne quin- | tuplets—began early to carve out a| career for himself and, believing with | the old South, that young men should | go into politics, he ran for the State | Legislature, was elected and took his | seat when he was 23.

Collectors and connoisseurs all over the country have become much in- terested in two rather unique museums which are being established at York- town and Jamestown, Va., for col- lections of antique glass. It will be recalled that the first glass factory in America was built at Jamestown during the first settlement. Its pur- pose was ostensibly to make window glass and bottles for domestic use, but it also had a commercial value, for beads in large numbers were man- ufactured for trade with the Indians, and it seems there was some little export trade. Glass blowers were imported from |- | Germany, Poland and Italy. The lat- | ter were skilled Venitian workers and there are still in the South examples will be devoted to seventeenth century glass, while the Yorktown exhibit will be devoted to eighteenth century ex- amples. The excavations at Yorktown and | Jamestown have been the means of | supplying historians and antiquarians with some valuable original data. New England is particularly rich in ex- amples of Colonial glass, much of to pluck a few blades of grass and¥ Which, however, was imported from lend her support to the grass rooters’ convention. 1Is there not a poem about the grass that never grows so green as where some sainted hero lies? or words to that effect? Well, those old-time political heroes seem to have fallen by the dozens out there regardless of their past services and desire to help out. The Republican young bloods sent out word in the beginning that this was to be their party and they were going to have their fling. The 6,000 delegates, how- ever, were named from party organi- eations of all sorts, and while former candidates and prospective candidates | were politely asked to remain away, | their friends and sympathetic ob- servers were present. The speakers | ate up the Constitution and States rights—both are glorious subjects. But not to steal the show from Mrs. Kelley—she is small and very dainty, a cosmopolite of the charming kind, but, oh, my, she can say a mouthful when it comes to orating good old- fashioned Republican doctrine. The unfortunate thing for her opponent 1s she is so polite and convincing that one has to be careful that she does not proselytize before one is aware. President Harding had his “nor- malcy,” President Hoover his “yard- stick” and President Roosevelt has his “horse and buggy age,” but the young grass rooters went deep into the soil— KAPLOWITZ | 'YHE COAT AND SUIT SPECIALTY SHOP ON THIRTEEN™H STREET | BETWEEN E ANDF | DRESSES* SPORTSWEAR*GOWNS | 'BARGAINS IN QUALITY | ISUMMER DRESSES! 39 §9 Z.es‘ | A COLEECTION OF VARIETY | BEAUTY AND DEPENDABILITY WOMENS MISSES JUNIOR MISSES EXCLUSIVE APPAREL SPECIALISTS THE KAPLOWITZ STORE IS R-COOLED 2941R-PURIFIED FOR A GENFRATION ‘THE BEST CLOTHES EXCLUSIVELY | the mother country.
