Page 22 P O TV TV 0 IV 1932 to lunch. Just as we were finishing our meal, my friend 1'eaehed over, touched me on the arm and pointed toward the door. A large portly man was coming in. HThat is llarvin Baker, the wealthiest contractor in the U. S. He married Evelyn Bartlett, a school teacher, three years agof' I thought to myself, HNO wonder he looks so tired? Lunch over, we held a consultation over what we should do in the afternoon. Aly friend told me that we could either go to a temperance lecture by Douglas Lowell, to the Hippodrome featuring Ethel VVright and Ora Vvallace, or go to a good vaudeville. VVe decided on the vaudeville. Tl1e billboards announced that the liidner-VVelsh Yaudeville Company would perform.

19.2.2 P O IV IV O IV 5 Page 21 and James Lyke, office boy. James made a good office boy. He never could get to work on time. After I had been entertained by my old fellow-students my friend called me into his private office 'to attend a director's meeting. He introduced me to his directors. There were twelve of them. Norvin Adamsg Clyde Cornell: Sam Chaney, a multimillionaireg Clair llarch, who made a fortune in oilg Elmer Raymond, who was a noted baseball playerg Alton Swan, Director of three pic- ture theatres, Laurice Edlefsen, croquet ball expertg Bob Andrews, amateur champion tennis player, Ralph Myers, chautauqua lecturer during spare time: Fred Albertson, noted editorg Merle Hurtt, a publicity and advertising agentg and Ivor Ranney, who succeeded Bud Fisher. The directors were then waited upon by a committee from the Anti-chewing Tobacco Club, composed of Hazel Royce, llinnie Daly, Opal Schreiber, llabel Dildine, Bonnie lloss, and Rena Rock. Hazel was spokeswoman of the com- mittee. She delivered herself of a lengthy oration and finally convinced the directors that chewing tobacco was unnecessary. Yvhen this committee left another from the afternoon tea club applied for a reduction of the price of sewing thread. The committee were: Blary Allison, Dorothy Robertson, Lois Jones, Mina Stratton, and Emma Specht. The committee brought along their chief speakers, Mildred Hanna and VVilliam Hanley, a noted lounge lizard. The directors promised to do all that was possible. All the committees disposed of, the directors held an informal discussion of how to catch Autom Paxton, the check Artist. Ivor Ranney reported that he had sent two women detectives, Fay Bow, and Pearl Faris, after the culprit. He added that if it was humanly possible these two could catch her. Just then' Glenn McKinley the noted scientist and explorer came in and unburdened his tale of woe. It seems that the aim of his life was to persuade Edna Steehnan to marry him, but Edna did not see it that way. Sam Chaney advised him to go to Hamilton and Hancock, editors of the Confidential column in the daily newspaper and enlist their aid. He said they had often helped him. The scientist went away hopefully. lIy host then stated the business was over for that day, and as the directors filed out, rang for the footman. In answer to the ring in walked Floyd Davis. I almost went thru the floor in surprise. After we had exchanged greetings, my friend called the footman to his desk and told him to go for his private law- yer, Mr. Shook. Is Shook a lawyer? I asked in surprise. Yes,,' he replied, 'tHe and Clarence BIcClurc have a large trade in divorces and alimony suitsf, That was news to me. Kenneth ought. to make a good lawyer tho. Ivhcn Mr. Shook arrived, he brought with him his private secretary, who turned out to be Edith Conway. I asked Shook how his family was, remembering that he had married Grace I'urcell, years before. HI'ilI1Cl., he said, 'fCome out and see us sometimef, After a short consultation the lawyer left and my host announced that it was lunch time. Ive went to 'the finest cafe in town, owned by Letha Earner. YVe asked for the proprietor, but Goldc Potter, the waitress, said she was out
