In High Gear When
President Travels
Secret Service Must Antici
pate Every Danger.
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.
Murphy of East Boston, Mass., when
she won a beauty contest held at Re
vere Beach, In -which all the contest
ants were named Murphy.

ticket. 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. The old King
Stage house, a famous tavern at which
Marquis Lafayette, Daniel Webster
and Henry Clay visited, now Is a poor
house.
This Freak Watch
Has Two Movements
York, Neb. A freak watch with
two complete movements and indi
vidual dials has come Into the pos
session of E. Kahm, Jeweler and
watch repair man of this city.
'The watch, believed to be nearly
one hundred and fifty years old,
was made by hand and bears the
name of the maker.
Kahm came into possession of
the watch when be purchased a
collection of old timepieces. The
watch be says, keeps perfect time.

"Who's to Blame?"
LEONARD A. 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

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.

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 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.

"If you were a diplomat abroad1
would you learn the language of the
country to which you were as
signed?" "No," answered Senator Sorghum.

a linguist It's liable to tempt a man
to spend the best years of his life
learning his Abe's over and over
