Washington. In the face of world violence, secret service men are taking no chances in protecting the Presi dent from cranks and fanatics. Their authority Is greater than that of ad mirals, generals and contributors to campaign funds, according to Herbert Corej and George Holmes, two Wash ington political writers, who describe, In the Cosmopolitan, each step these officers take to safeguard the Pres ident. When the President is In the White House, they explain, the secret serv ice system works so smoothly it Is automatic; when he leaves the White House, the men go into high gear; and when he leaves Washington on a long trip, an advance campaign that anticipates every possible danger Is mapped out by Dick Jervis, chief of the White House detail. Take Every Precaution. "When Jervis gets the news that a Presidential tour is in contemplation," they state, "he calls in Col. Ed Star ling, a rawboned Kentuckian, handy with a gun. Starling is given a sched ule of the route with the stops and times tentatively defined. He then gets in touch with the police chief In each city and tells him when and where the President will be, and ar rangements are made. "Sometimes two hundred or three hundred policemen are needed at the station. Perhaps more. A lane is po liced from the door of the .private car tothe automobile waiting with Its engine running. Every man in every one of tlje cars that are to follow has been Inspected and passed by Starting before he gets his green Queen of Murphys mmmmmmmm "Queen of AH the Murphys" was the title bestowed on Miss Kathleen T.

Plain clothes men are scattered through the waiting crowd. A man who mutters to himself, or is unpleasantly excited or seems to have a large lump in his coat pocket Is Investigated. Nothing is permitted to get into the gears of the machine. When the train has backed slowly Into the station, the crowd has be.en as neatly packed as though the scene were on a Holly wood lot. The only movement possi ble Is of the facial muscles. "Some one catches a glimpse of a well known figure. . . . Starling has his men so banked that several thou sand tons of human flesh are held back during the moments occupied by the Inevitable hand shaking and beaming. The President walks towards his car through a corridor of blue clothes and shouting men. Secret service men are in front of him and behind him and at each side, ready to provide effective Interference if necessary. Police Help Out "Along the line of march policemen have been stationed by the hundreds. If necessary, reinforcements have been called in from other cities. Secret service men dogtrot by the side of the Presidential car and behind It, their eyes fastened on the men and women packed solidly against the curb. "The President Is always In the first car of the line, Just as he Is always In the last car of the train. Dick Jervis sits at the right hand of the driver. If the Vice President is a member of the party, he follows in the second car. Otherwise the second car is always that of the secret serv ice. Cars are never permitted to stop. If one enthusiast broke through the line to shake hands with the Pres ident, he might be followed by ten thousand. ",At the hotel a special entrance has been arranged, which Is guarded by other police and plainclothes men. "In case of donbt," the writers con clude, "the rule Is to act first and In vestigate afterwards." A Poor House Now Rockville, Conn.

BARRETT There is a good deal of self-pity in the world which plays havoc with the psychic centers. Self-pity destroys Initiative, self-con trol and ambition." The false notion, entertained by some persons, that the world owes them a living, Is both dan ger o u s and per nicious. Some of our college gradu ates have the Idea that a Job should be furnished them as one of their in alienable rights: a person, regardless not entitled to a re They forget that of his culture, Is ward beyond his capacity to earn It We are emerging from the worst de pression In the history of our country. Many who were not able to weath er the storm sought relfge In self-pity, which In some cases led to self-destruction. Self-pity always seeks to place the blame on some other person or condition, and not upon one's own Challenger T. O. :M. Sopwith's yacht Endeavor which has come across the Atlantic from Englarfd to try to capture the America's cut), which will be defended .by an American boat not yet selected. Endeavor Is manned by an amateur crew, the professional crew having quit because of a wage dispute. Judgment When a person builds a house he should remember that storms blow hard and fire destroys. If he be a wise builder he will take precau tions and have lightning rods placed on the ropif of his house and will seek nrntopHon aeainst . fire and storms through adequate Insurance. If he does this he will oe secured against tho ravage of the elements, if he fails so to do, whose fault is it if the elements play havoc with his baud invf n nrtainlT cannot Justly Dlace the blame upon anybody but himself. A storm in the economic worm track hard noon the financial struc tures many persons set up. Proper protection in some cases speeaea re covery; where this protection was ab sent the Inevitable was the result No house built open sand can .withstand the havoc of storms. , " - . ; , While self-pity dominates tne nun as of some persons, the contrary attitude Is discovered In other experiences. A man who suffered a . very heavy toss financially, remarked that perhaee It was worth it because he discovered the value of hie own health, and who his friends were. That man had some thing left to build on. When the finer resources of the mind and soul are burned oat by worry and self-pity, noth ing remains upon which another struc ture can be built The only enduring substance upon which any perma nent recovery Is possible lies within.

' ""- "' i I ss v ": styZ By LtjdU An Antique Coat-of-Armt Tapestry TAPESTRIES are unexcelled for fascinating wall decorations. They vie with rare paintings which alone are their peers. In fact some of the finest painters made designs for tapes tries. Leonardo da Vlncl, Raphael, Michel Angelo, among the very early artists and Rubens, Van Dyke and Diirer also made the drawings, or car toons as they are called, for famous tapestries. Tapestries are considered woven tex tiles but the weaving is a distinct and different type from regular weaving, even hand weaving as It is known to day. It Is, of course, woven by hand, but the colors are either Introduced on tiny separate bobbins or by means of a sort of threaded needle passed over, under and about warp threads. Whichever way the colors are Intro duced by hand, they are woven into the gorgeous pictorial patterns In the same way. An Embroidered Tapestry. It Is Interesting to note that one of the most famous of all tapestries is not actually a tapestry In the strict est sense, but Is an embroidered pic ture. It was Queen Mathilda of Eng land who told the story of her famous husband William the Conqueror's ex ploits not with her pen but with her needle. There are people, ships, ani mals, trees, earth, and sea, all wrought In colors which today are a feast to the eye Just to look upon. The founda tion is fine linen unornamented except In the embroidered portions, which tell the story which is real "history. Un like other tapestries which are of large proportions the linen of the Bayeaux tapestry Is only some 24 inches wide. While Its width Is slight. Its length makes up for It being 227 feet The background Is a wonderful bit of weav ing. The embroidery Is the most stu pendous undertaking of all ages,, and shows marvelously against - the un worked foundation, , - It Is this embroidered tapestry which lends sanction to the thought of mod ern tapestry embroideries. : These can be of rare beauty provided the worfer has the Ingenuity to conceive of hand some pictorial effects worthy of care ful embroidery, and then uses em broidery materials of artistic tones The Skeleton '33 j - , be honor guest grinned most rardtlBally . as the ham and ." were passed to him at the breakfast of the Post-Mortem club in the Palmer Houss, Chicago.

Today the term tapestries is not so inclusive, but signifies the hand woven pictorial textiles, some of which are modern In the same way as are the famous an tique ones. Wall Hangings. Wall hangings and embroidered wall pictures are names given to the scenic needleworked textiles at the .present time. Df these there are beautiful examples In modem work. The back ground remains minus stltchery, ttu design alone being embroidered. Wom en who want 'wall hangings can haw them at small cost by working them themselves. The pictures and the colors and the embroidery must all be excellent for them to be worthy their purpose. C). BaU BjrndlcM.
