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

through the waiting crowd. A man who
mutters to himself, or Is unpleasantly
excited or seems to have a large lump

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

his men so banked that several thou-
sand tons of human flesh are held
back during the moments occupied by

service men are In front of him and
behind him and at each side, ready
to provide effective Interference If

“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

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,

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 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. The only enduring
substance upon which any perma.
nent recovery is possible lies within,

APESTRIES are unexcelled
fascinating wall decorations,
with rare paintings which alone
re their peers. 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. These can
be of rare beauty provided the worker
has the ingenuity to conceive of hand.
