VI1ASHINGTON.-The White House
w collection of presidential table
ware, which has become one of the
great show features OF the historic
home of presidents, has taken an i'm
petus under the new administration.
Some time ago the collection re-
ceived an important addition in some
Fillmore ceramic relics, sent from
Buffalo. There has now been con-
tributed one of the largest and most
interesting additions yet made.
Many years ago it was a custom Of
incoming presidents to have the old
furnishings sold at public and private
sales. Such a sale took place when
President Buchanan came into office.
A Washington family bought many
pieces of plate, chinaware and glass
ware belonging to the Madison, Jack
son, Polk and Pierce administrations.
This family has been the proud pos
SCISSOR of a large quantity of White
House china for more than so years.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Abby
G. Baker, the granddaughters of the
family to whom it had descended be-
came interested in the patriotic col

i flowers and his passion for posies,

ing his arrest the other night by a
vigilant Washington Waterman.
The president, accompanied by
Capt Archibald Butt, his chief mill
tary aid, and friend, whose identity
remains a mystery, was taking ride
in the presidents big touring car
Their route took them through the
Mall and when they arrived in the
grounds of the department of agri-
culture the president ordered the
chauffeur to stop.
"Those are beautiful flowers, Butt"
he said to his chief of staff, pointing
to one of the beds in front of the
secretary's office; lets get out and
pick a few"
In the fraction of second the
three had deserted the automobile
and, like three small boys, were hay
ing the time of their lives robbing the
flower bed. Each gathered big bou-
auet. when all of sudden the watch
man appeared. The president had
just finished his bouquet and was

corn and grain. One rat will eat 60
cents worth of grain in year, while
of oatmeal it will consume $1.S0
worth.
Through pollution of food products
it does as much damage as by eating
them. It also does great damage by
digging under buildings and embank-
ments, by gnawing wood, cutting
holes in sacks, and by cutting up
goods and papers to make nests. Kill
ing young poultry and stealing eggs
are among it's destructive habits.
The rapidity with which rats null
tiply is the main reason why man ap-
pears to make so little Roadway in
their destruction. 1t is calculated that
single pair of rats and their progeny
breeding without interruption and suf'
fering no losses would in three years
increase to more than 100000. Rat
proof construction of buildings, espe
cially the use of concrete in founda
tons is urged. The rats food supply
could be reduced and their numbers
thereby decreased by the disposal OF
garbage and the protection of food
supplies, the statement says.

prove one of the most interesting
features of the collection.
The contribution includes an ex-

glasses and a dainty cordial glass-all
cut in the grapevine, leaf and fruit

There are also two most interesting

are of French pottery.
The soup plate has medallioned

adds to the beauty and interest of the
plates, but adds infinitely to their
value historically, as the upper part
of the escutcheon bears % stars, and
