GREATEST SOCIAL INCITY'S HISTORY (Continued from First Page). organization lies. The blue birds that come and go are not the ones that keep the wheels turning year | after year, but the home birds that come and stay, and we are therefore particularly proud to welcome to- night as our guests of honor the L. F. & C. '25 club. We also wish to accord g hearty welcome to the following new mem- bers of the L. F. & C. '25 club, who have completed their 25 years of service with Landers, Frary & Clark since the last meeting of this organization:— Louis Anderson, Albert ‘Berry, John Bergeron, Alfred Carlson, P. Cullinan, James Degnan, Mary Des- mond, H. C. Fagan, Jr, Charles Fay, Gertrude L. Frey, Anna Gal- lagher, John Heckman, Valentine Kordek, F. Ludronowicz, Alex Paquette, H. A. Traver, E. Twigg, J. ¥. Lamb, John Traceski. “When Mayor Weld and some of our guests were induced to come to our party it was with the distinct understanding that they would not be asked to speak and we are going | to remain true to that promise. We do, however, want Mayor Weld, ex- Mayor Paonessa, Mr., Vance, and Mr., Kranowitz to know how much pleasure it is giving us to have them as our guests tonight. All of these gentlemen are close to the: heart of | |In O1d Seville ... our organization because they have done big things for our city and have proven to be good friends of our organization, and personally. ‘We hope this evening will prove to be a gala one in their lives as it is in ours and that they will enter into the festivities in the spirit of one of “our own organization, and so — ‘to- night the house is yours—its portals open wide and welcome you to all inside. Enter, good friends, with hearty zest, the house is yours.” 20 Acts of Vaudeville The 25 year club and guests were furnished with special seats at the entertainment which took place on the sixth floor of the new building, where a group of actors furnished by the Clements Entertainment Bureau gave a vaudeville show of 20 acts, each one a little better than the preceding and all very good. At least 3,000 people gathered at this affalr, there being about 2,600 chairs in place and probably about 400 standing. The stage was erected in the center ot the oblong hall and loud speakers reldyed the voices of th actors to every point in the temporary auditorium which will, before long, witness the production of some of the diversified Universal line. That it was a factory building was hardly. apparent last evening, however. Decoratipns effectively dis- guised its structural appearance. Hardly were the last strains of the concluding chorus ceasing to is- sue from the loud-speakers than a new note became apparent, the rumble of the wheels of small hand trucks propelled by employes of the tactory who were dressed in the white aprons and hats of the con- ventional chef to distinguish their purpose. And thus the enormous task of distributing food’ to the guests got under way. It was some- what amusing ang novel, this new way of meeting distribution prob- lems, evolved by the- committtee on arrangements, though it was thor- oughly efficient beyond question as everyone in the hall was served in a remarkably short time with a lunch that was much more than satisfac. tory to guests at the preceding din- ner at least who had reached the much discussed ‘“saturation point’ some time before. 12,000 Sandwiches Served Over 6,000 persons were served with sandwiches and ice cream in the two places of amusement, the sixth and fourth floors, those = on the sixth being served while they re- mafned seated. There were over 12,- 000 sandwichs available for the hun- gry, over 6,000 pieces of brick ices cream and 300 gallons of punch in 50 gallon containers., To the layman |the producton and distribution problems seemed incapable of solu- tion. How the concern produced the sandwiches is still a mystery; how it distributed them is explained. Vaudeville Program During the vaudeville and after- ward, Clark’s Royal Hungarian or- chestra furnished music for the sixth floor guests. The. program was as follows.

Here the Pacchanalian augmented or- chestra of 15 ‘pleces played for dancing and accompanied the en- tertainers who presented cabaret numbers. Throughout the evening clown policemen moved through the crowds keeping the guests greatly amused by their antics. Refreshment booths at either end of the building were kept busy al evening. .

Must Chip Off Abutment To Bemove Vandals’ Mark An eighth of an inch of material will have to be taken from the face of abutments in front of the voca- tional building of the Senior High school by expert stone cutters in an effort to remove the numerals “27" which were painted on the building Monday evening. According to the findings of Willlam Bollman, super- intendent of the buildings, the paint used by the vandals contained a spe- | clal fluld which sank an eighth of an inch jnto the surface of the stone. Whether the vandals, who com- mitted the act, purchased the paint with the intention of having it sink into the stone could not be ascer- tained by Mr. Bollman. &'RICE I}EI‘ORTED DYING Newton, Kans,, cablegram was received here last night by Mr. and Mrs. Howard Puck- ett, parents of Eleanor Ambrose, wife of Maurice Mouvet, famous dancer, stating that Maurice is dy- ing.

WANT $7:00 FOR PARK BLEACHERS i Finance Board to Be Asked for Appropriation Jackson, Mis May 12 (P—As flood waters slowly receded, plant- ers of Sunflower and Washington { counties today were trekking. back to their water-soaked homes. Al- emerged from the water have be- gun planting cotton. Despite the lateness of the plant- |ing and the damage by flood waters la crop of about 60 per cent of nor- mal is expected. Germination in the fertile soil of the delta of Miss- issippi is rapid. Reduction of acre- will make labor available. Shortage of livestock is facing the returning caravans, hundreds of mules and horses were drowned, and unless stock is obtained quickly Iplanting will be further delayed. {Plans are being made by the de- | partment of agriculture to supply mules. As railways into the sec- tion will be weeks restoring facili- ties, stock will be shipped as near as possible by rail and then driven to points of distribution. R. 8. Wilson, state extension agent, has started a survey to deter- | mine needs of the section for plant- {ing and will make arrangements for | quick delivery of sceds and food | stuffs. The lateness of the season will prevent planting of corn, but soy {beans and cow peas will be raised | for use as winter feed. A committee of three representing | the school and park boards will go before the board of finance and tax- ation at its next regular mecting | with a request that the board appro- priate $7,500 for bleachers at Memo- | roal field in Willow Brook park for | the annual New Britain and Hart- | tord Public High school football | game which is scheduled to be play- | cd in this city next fall. A jont meeting of the park board jand a committee from the school | board was held in the park depart- | j ment office last evening, and it was | the opinion of the memhers that, while the offer of a loca lbank to finance the construction of the bleachers if 100 men of financial | backing would sign their names to a | note, was a good offer, it was | thought that the better plan would | be to have the cony appropriate the | money. The committee of three who will {make the request of the park board are Judge William F. Mangan, of the park board, Henry T. Burr, se refary of the school board ,and Ralph B.

Ol responded to the efforts being made to regulate production of crude and then Van Sweringen rails were heavily bought on the favorable re- ception created by the announce- ment of the new Chesapeake cor- poration, “Nickel Plate” common soaring 12 points. Motors had a tempofary sinking spell in the early afternoon when heavy profit-taking in Hudson forc- ed that stock down to 83 1-2, after having sold above 87 earlier in the session, but they rallled later under leadership of General Motors which was accumulated in anticipation of an extra cash dividend at today's meeting. Steels were mixed, U. 8. BSteel Common and Gulf Btates losing ground while Crucible and Colorado Fuel pointed higher. The season decline in steel production, and fears of increasing foreign competi- tion, have inspired much of the re- cent selling of the Steel shares. The unusually favorable terms received by the City of New York in its latest financing, with its implica- tion of easy money rates for a long time to come, had a bullish effect on speculative sentiment. There ap- peared to be plenty of call money available at the renewal rate of 4 1-4 per cent. Houston Oil soared to 125 3-8, the highest price since it was listed on the Stock Exchange.
