Favoring de Valera's croaking for a union of Northern with Southern Ireland, in 1921 and 1925 South Down elected him their member. Then a private citizen, he was barred both times from crossing the border. Now the head of a neighbor state, he could have made trouble by trying to take his seat.

It was here that Will Rogers put on a real rope-twirling show:, taking a glass out of Amon Carter's hand and throwing Airman Vidal and Treasury-man Roberts, two former football stars. Here also Jim Farley rode a horse for the first time, he said, in his life, getting on with some difficulty while a secretary held his watch.
