The route and hit is first arranged in consul- with secret service, which on than one occasion has vetoed ';,urt of a trip for reasons known iflf alone. Tours Route in Advance ' n Col. Ed Starling, chief of the House Secret Service stae. does ilvance tour of the route. He k over everv foot of the wav f resident will come later. He oriitees. tunnels, undernass- h( analyzes the lay of the land everv stop will he made, and -ults with the chief of police in every community where the Pres ident will stop. ! In the course of these consultations he will outline the t pe of police supervision he will want. If the : President is to make a speech awav : from the train. Colonel Starling will examine the route to the speaking j place, will pass or disapprove plans I ro1; grandstands and will examine with I particular care plans for the speak- mg platform. Many a time an en thusiastic municipal reception com mittee has had its pians ruled out by the insistent Colonel Starling. There have been occasions when an expensive grandstand has been noil. ed down by his orders the day of the President's arrival. The next stage is in protecting the railroad itself, from interference. Before the presidential train pulls out oi Washington an elaborate process of inspection has been set in motion which is as danger proof as any in spection could be. Railroad guards inspect every foot of track along the route. Until the presidential train has passed there is someone watching every bridge, every culvert and every tunnel. At the last moment all switches are spiked down. The road is ready for the train. Pilot Engine Preceeds But even then one final precaution is taken. A pilot engine Dreeeeds the presidential special. On the train the process reaches its culmination. The President's car is the last. His personal bodyguard, i nomas yualters, has a room next to 1 the President's in the Presidential car. He never leaves it except with the iiesiueiiL. mere are never less than a dozen other secret service men on the train. They and the Presi dent's secretarial staff occupy the two cars next to the President's. At all times of day and night two secret service men stand in the front vestibule of the President's car. rci .' : t 1 TRANSACTIONS IN Real Estate (As Recorded to Monday Noon of this Week) ft v Wtw pt Hufhea' pUa Hr to th itrMmUnad ftU-raaUI LockhMd plan In which Howard Hugh, mllllonalr sportsman, and hla crew of four mad thtir fllfht from Floyd Bnnett field, Nw York, to Europ.

While it would be easy for anyone to board the train, it would be impossi ble to get into the last car without passing these two secret service men. Vt henever the train slows down two more secret service men take the back platform. When it stops for a back platform speech about half a dozen make a semicircle around the back end of the train, and others mix in with the crowd. Cars Carefully Guarded While it would be easy for almost anyone to get on the train it would be difficult for anyone with improp per intentions to escape detection for long, or get anywhere near the Presi dent's car. The two secret service men in the vestibule of the last car are only a final precaution. The cars are arranged in cargful order. Be ginning with the last car there is next a secret service car and then a car occupied by the secretaries and pres idential assistants. Next comes one or two cars for newspaper men, de pending on the number accompanying the trip. Then come the newspaper photographers and railroad skiff. The rest of the train consists of a diner and two or three opeii Pull man cars used by 'the visiting poli ticians who are constantly getting on and off Presidential Special. Any stranger could easily get in among the pokicianiT. But he would be subjected to increasing scrutiny as he moved back from there toward the end of the train. Anything suspi cious about his appearance or man ner would be quickly detected. The train staff remain the same from trip to trip and is familiar with the individuals who have any reason to be on board. MARRIAGES Buster Russell to Margaret Brail burn, both of Canton.

Traffic laws, as they are known today, are not en tirely the result of the invention and development of the automobile. Proof of this fact, was recently unearthed by Henry L. Howe, City Recorder. Mr. Howe dug up records which dis closed that the city had limited the speed at which a horse could be driv en within the city limits. Dobbin was to be kept down to five miles an hour. A right smart speed it was, too, old timers reflected. But the City Coun cil even undertook the task of keep ing the younger generation from pull ing "fancy didos" by passing an or dinance prohibiting "the hitching of! norses to a vehicle in any manner that prevented facing traffic." To make it complete, Mr. Howe also learned that "parking teams on Third Street for more than 30 minutes" was a violation of the law. offer A wonderful value ... 2 regular 50c cord sets at a substantial saving . . . complete with 6 feet cord and plugs . . . buy severul at this unusually low prica. $1 ALLOWANCE FOR YOUR OLD IRON Just bring us your old iron regardless of kind or condition . . . we will allow you $1.00 on the purchase of a new AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IRON and arratige easy payments on the balance.
