PAGE TWO WASHINGTON FOLK SET THEIR CLOCKS BY IMO'S COACH Ambassador Jean Adrien An toine Jules Jusserand Drives ‘Sea-Going Hack’ RY HARRY B HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, November 3. — With the passing l of Joan Adrien Anti'inu. Julc:’ Juss< rand as French ambassador *to che Unit'd States, Washington will lose the last of her horse-drawn state carriages, the rest of Washington officialdom long ago adopted the automobile as a means of trans port, the French ambassador has clung steadfastly to the old low swung barouche—known to our modern youth as “sea-going hacks.’’ One of the sights of upper Six teenth street, “Embassy row,” has been Jusserand and his wisp going for their daily airing. Propmtly at 4 o’clock every day, rain or shine, winter or summer, the Jusserand equippage, with coach man and footman on the box, the tri-colors of France worn in jaunty cockades on their hats, has drawn up before the embassy en trance for Monsieur the Ambassa dor and 'his lady. And as promptly at 5:30 they have returned. Clocks could be set by their go ' ing and coming, so regularly were they timed. The regularity of the routine with which Jusserand regulated his day is now regarded as old-fashioned as the “sea-going hack” to which he dlung for travel. ♦ * ♦ Only once in his 22 years of ser vice here did the fever of progress stir Jusserand’s blood to the point where he willingly used an auto.

This speech, it was recognized, was a presage of Ame"an entry into the war on the side of France and her allies. For. that one day his horse draw i vehicles could not keep up with the little airbassador’s urge for action. So he got an auto, and with the French and American flags flapping from the sides of the radiator he dashed madly about the capita)—up and down, in and out, through the streets —for hours. The Gorman ambassador bed been handed his pas. ports and Jusserand was celebrating in one mad automobile orgy. Next to Jusserand, the last pub lic personages in Washington to ding to the horse and carriage in stead of using an auto were Post master General David Burleson and David Houston and Edwin Mere dith as secretaries of agriculture in Wilson’s administration. Burleson used horses because he loved them. Pome people thought it was a pose with him, but it wasn’t, ile preferred walking to autoing, and wh n he didn't drive down to the postoffice dej-a ‘.me t ha took chank’s more and hiked it. Houston and Meredith clung to the horse and carriage as a part of the tradition of the office. It al ways had been held the proper thing for the heads of the Department of Agriculture to use horses, ft made then, seem closer to the soil, and was supposed to heighten them in the regard of farmers generally. With the modernizing of govern men under the Harding adminis tration, however, Will Hays asked for and got an automobile for the postmaster general and another wa sgranted Secretary of Agricul ture Wallace. Which left Jusserand and his barouche the only representatives in cff.cbl lift cf the old order of transportation. * * * Much has been written, both in fact and fiction about the influence of a wife on a husband’s career. Whether it is a mere coincidence or whether the fact had something to do with the result, it is of pos sible significance that Senor Juan Riano y Gayganos, who succeeds Jusserand aS dean of the diplomatic corps, because of his long service in Washington, has, like Jusserand, an American wife. Madame Jus serand was a Miss Richards, of New York. Senora Riano was a Wash ington girl, formerly Miss Alice Ward.

BELL See Our Window Display i When the Cub Isn’t Covering \ Assignments —By W. K. S.— THE CUB SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR. Friday when we went to the postoffice we found in our box a notice that our'*insurance policy was due and also several bills that we all get on the first of the month. We looked at these, then thought of the few dollars we had in the bank and wondered how we were going to pay them. As we walked out of the postoffice we thought what a cruel world this was and how unfortunate we were to be poor. Standing at the foot of the post office steps was a man, blind, crip pled and peddling pencils for an existence. This poor fellow, no doubt without a friend in the world, and there we were kicking because we didn't have thing easier. We bought a few pencils from the unfortunate man and walked off, thankful that we were enjoying good health and feeling like we owned cotton in Augusta. * * » THE CUB THEM GOOD OLD DAYS. “Yes, sir,” said Paul Westbrook, “there never was an election like the one held in Oglethorpe, Geor gia, some twenty years ago.” This was the opening of a conversation between Paul Westbrook, D- R. Andrews, Jap Pinkston and our selves, after a prolonged silence proceeding a talk regarding the passing of the Peach county amend ment. “No, there never was,” said, said Mr. Andrews, “when they held that election to see whether th county seat would be changed from Oglethorpe to Montezuma' the Aus tralian ballot system v'isn’t thought of. They voted thre times as many names-as appea-ed on the registered list and they would have voted more, if they had had time.” “You know,” says Mr. West brook, ‘Jthey chartered 1 rains and brought trainload after trainload of negroes from Alabama to vote in the election, and they had barrels of whiskey with the heads knocked in on every corner for the voters to drink.” “Sure,” says Jap, “they tell me three men were drowned by falling in the barrels.” “I don’t know about that,” says Mr. Andrews, “but they sure got the people to the city by giving them free whiskey.” “We ought to suggest that to the election managers in the dif ferent precincts now,” says Jap, “if the people won’t drink it, they will come out to see such a curiosity as More A happy little girl whose happy mother keeps the hens happy by feeding Happy Hen Buttermilk Mash—the greatest egg making eed in the world.
