Life in Washington HE recess of Congress marked the funniest week in the history of the Hoover Administration. Mrs. Hoover's invitation of Mrs, De Priest, wife of the black Congressman from Chicago, to a Congressional tea at the White House, provoked raucous re- prisals from the Jim Crow belt. Cole Blease, chivalrous Senator from South Carolina, read into the record a pretty litle poem entitled “Niggers in the White House” and the Florida House of Representatives, by a vote of 71 to 13, condemned “the social policies of the White House.” No one explained why, having given negroes the vote and made them eligible to office, we should deny them the formal courte- sies of official life. They order these things better at Annapolis. De Priest’s dark-horse entry for the Naval Academy was flunked on the eye-test; the appointment seems to have been a genuine case of politi- cal myopia. The only question is whether the candidate or the exam- iners were color-blind. Carter Glass is adding to the good clean fun of American life, by be- coming the newest Democratic can- didate for President in 1932. He has started his boom with all the caution of a rhinoceros charging a will-o’-the- wisp. He began by attacking Wall Street for gambling, President Hoover for not concentrating on Prohibition enforcement, and Bishop Cannon, “the Methodist Pope” of the Old Dominion, for having patronized a bucket-shop. The eligibility of “The Step-Father of the Federal Reserve Act” is strongly endorsed by Senator Carter Glass. It is said that before he can formally throw his hat in the ring they will have to make the ring larger. The President’s fishing tackle got tangled up by the Maryland hill-billies, when Mr. Lawrence Ritchey, Private Presidential Fishing Secretary, discov- ered that he had paid for fishing rights which didn’t exist. After he had stocked the Cacoctin trout-streams with fish mete for the Presidential hook, some local anglers calmly walked in and caught them—and proved that they had the law as well as the fish on their side. Mr. Ritchey was re- ported as being very much chagrined but the President is taking it philo- sophically, having had much the same pg happen to him with Senatorial Life The Manoir Richelieu will be open for Winter Sports from December 18th until Feb- This is the ACew MANOIR RICHELIEU At Murray Bay, Quebec, (Canada which opened JUNE FIFTEENTH. Pine-laden Mountain Breezes, Sunlight and the Tang of the Sea Ghe New Manoir Richelieu has been designed primarily for the care and entertainment of comfort-loving people; and few hotels in the world offer as complete equipment or greater luxury of appointment. It is also a treasure house of early Canadian craftsmanship and historic pieces. An open air swimming pool where artificially heated salt water flows continuously in and out; a ballroom with tim- bered roof and musicians’ gallery in the chateau style (that occupies a building by itself); stables of thoroughbred saddle horses keen for a gallop; a magnificent eighteen hole golf course laid out upon the crest of the oldest mountains in the world—all these serve to make the Manoir Richelieu a vacation paradise. The fashionable setting of Murray Bay, and the charm and beauty of the surrounding countryside enhance its value as a resort which combines all the pleasures that summer can suggest. oe 6 MANOIR RICHELIEU RATES American Plan TO JULY 3rd AND APTER SEPT. 1st One person, $10 to $15 perday.
