ww Js 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 fanatles., Their authority Is greater than that of ad- mirals, generals and contributors to campaign funds, according to Herbert Corey 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 detall, Take Every Precaution. “When Jervis gets the news that a Presidential tour is in contemplation,” they state, “he calls in Col. E4 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 to the automobile waiting with its engine running. Every man in every one of the cars that are to follow has been Inspected and passed by Starling before he gets his green mmm = Queen of Murphys “Queen of All the Murphys” was the title bestowed on Miss Kathleen T.

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 been 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 cities, Secret men dogtrot by the side of the Presidential car and behind it, thelr 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, “Af the hotel a special entrance has been arranged, which is guarded by other police and piainciothes men. “In case of doubt,” the writers con. clude, “the rule is to act first and in vestigate afterwards.” ¥ other service A Poor House Now tockville, 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.

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 roof of his house and will seek protection against fire and storms through adequate Insurance. If he does this he will be secured against the ravages of the elements, if he falls so to do, whose fault is it if the elements play havoc with his bulid- ing? He certainly cannot justly place the blame upon anybody but himself, A storm in the economic world struck hard upon the financial struc tures many persons set up. Proper protection in some cases speeded re covery ; where this protection was ab- gent the inevitable was the result. No bouse built upon sand can withstand the havoe of storms. While self-pity dominates the minds of some persons, the contrary attitude is discovered In other experiences. A man who suffered a very heavy loss financially, remarked that perhaps it was worth It, because he discovered the value of his own health, dnd who his friends were. That man had some. thing left to build on. When the finer resources of the mind and soul are burned out by worry and self-pity, noth. ing remains upon which another struc. ture ean be bull.

In fact some of the finest painters made designs for tapes tries. Leonardo da Vinel, Raphael, Michel Angelo, among the very early artists and Rubens, Van Dyke and Durer 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 & 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 ple ture. It was Queen Mathilda of Eng land who told the story of her famous husband William the Conquerors 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.
