Watching the President.
1t is interesting to see how the
Secret Service men stationed at the
White House keep track OF the move
ments OF the President. During Il
greater part of each working day, tn :
President is at his desk in his private
office. While he is so occupied it is
the duty of the Secret Service men to
remain in the reception room adjoin-
ing, where all visitors are seated.
Here they are kept informed by the
Presidents secretary of the actions of
the President.
When he goes back to the White
House proper, the secretary imparts
to them the information and they
follow him through the long corridor.
Should he 60 out walking or riding,
or to pay tennis, this also must be
told them for it is absolutely neces-
sary to the proper protection OF the
President that they should know his
whereabouts every moment OF the
day.
Formerly it was the custom OF the
secretary to convey his message to the
Secret Service men by word OF mouth,
but now a series of silent signs are
used entirely-sOrt OF a wireless
telegraphy with special code, so that
no matter how many visitors are wait
ing in the room with the Secret Ser.

ton given to them by the secretary as

he is doing. The whole scheme is
acted out in pantomine and it works
to perfection.
