HAVING STUNT {
 CAUSE RUMOR OF {
 INTERNAL MACHINE.
Policy of Silence Maintained by Secret Service SwelIs 2
 Canard

Washington, July 18.=A little haz- ing stunt meted out, last night, fp green reporter on the White HouSe s'beat'' by several veteran newspaper wide scare that an attempt had been made upon President Tafts life through an internal machine.
 The new. reporter walked into the press room of the executive offices to be met with the query:
 ''Did you get that internal machine
 The, reporter said he didn't and tho hoax manufacturer told him re1 markable yarn, with all the pictures que details. Finally, because the green reporter got SO visfbly excited they told him it was a joke.
 But the report that. such an att tempt had actually been made never theless spread throughout the coun- try. The well known habit of the secret service to hush up all such stories, coupled with what seemed to nia1 of all officials thaf they had heard of the attempt -the usual diplomatic way here of evading the issued, led a number of newspaper- men to assist in spreading the report.
 The White House was literally des luged with demands for Information. All sorts of wild rumors cropped ups One story had it that it wasn't an explosive in the 'fnfernaf box" but nl deadly gas,
 The original report that that the psnlsea' put out te seofv fuse in the bomb bhrn- ing his hands in so doing. but he soon treasured the President and other employees. Moreover, Allen carefully explained ip a voice weary of repetition that the White House procedure invariably involved open ing of all mail and express packages by a special clerk whose duty it was to sort out the correspondence. q No package would have gone to Aliens desk unopened.
 At the White House. today. news papermen were asked to give pub iicity to the declaration that the White House did not desire to. dignity such an absurd report with an of- ficial denial. e..
 The clerk at the Washington post office, who handles all the executive mail, ,edeclared that no box had been delivered there during the Iast-s.two days. gs ~
 Chief Wilkie of the secret service, peevish1y denied the story, so did alI bthe guards at the White House.rss ~a The one thing that made official Washington take any stock in the re- port is the steadfast policy of the secret service to hush up such at- tempts The service takes the view that publication of the details of such plots incites cranks and publicity seekers to follow suit. Effort is even made to suppress news regarding the cranks turned away from the White House.
 The circumstantiaI story of Afhe bomb plot had it that the machine arrived at the White House, yester- day morning, and was left on Assist ant Secretary Aliens desk. When Allen opened 1t, the report averred, smothered with his hand Later, ac- cording to the story, secret service officials found the package contain ed six of eight pounds of high ex-

TROLLEY COMPANIES AND CONSCIENCE

To the Editor of The Farmer:
 Sir-Quoth Iago: Conscience, it is our coin: and we live by parting with
 If ever an aphorism, was hand-turn- ed. dove tailed. and beveled to fit a Haven and Bridgeport Traction Com pany.
 With no more conscience than a cormorant, and no more benevolence than a buzzard. they proceed, in mute ingloriolls rapacity, to scoop in their iH-gotten gains; It needs no ghost returned from the tomb to tell them that they may expect crowds between the hours of and g a. n., and 5 and IF D. m.
 If that most patient and docile of beasts-the Appeared jackass-c could talk, the first thing he would tell the traction directors was that a pears when they were on their way to and from work than employed them during the interim, or in the hours of sleep.
 Also thatktwo or more bodies cannot occupy thW same space at the same time, and that 1t is impossible to get to and from work on time by any other available means than by troll leying.
 And if the aforementioned traction directors attempted to deny these ob- vious reflections, Mr. Jackass would be so overwhelmed and mortified that he would fall prostrate. curl up his little pink toes, and die. s
 That's what a jackass would do. If he were a human being, he would probably accept the explanation that the shortest distance between two points is a parabola curve, or an isos- celes triangle; or, at the worst, would appeal to the Public Futilities Com mission, who would take the matter cision. in the year 1926 to the effect that conductors and motornen being so scarce and hard to secure-and ex- pensive-it is necessary for the trolley companies to ''crowd 'em in"
 And as we are now forbidden to ride bIithely and gaily upon the fes- tive running board, it devolves upon those camille who must .be there'' at or 8 a. m. to ride in each others laps
 This develops what Hegel calls the tolerance of propinquity.'' After we have supported a fat enemy for 40 minutes, we learn, first to pity, then endure, then embrace.
 And asAWe bowl merrily along by sylvan dell and grassy nook, meath o'erhanging trees and canopied ingles that .eingles'' is good), the little pee wees chatter Warningly, and the mild eyed kline (haw's that?) regard us with horror and arnazement. No animal except a human being would tolerate the conditions for a moment.
 But we haven't sufficient intelligence to run our own tr action lines, and fur nish ourselves with a seat, or com mon decency in the way of service, so .Iay on's, Traction Magnates, and damned be he that first cries hold, enough
 Perhaps patience will cease to be a virtue sometime, and you'll reap the reward of your hoggish rapaclty.

 Bridgeport, Ct.

A1CGUCK AGO OOAAANHS @Se
 Bridgeport, Ct.
 Dear Sir: A new word has come into use in paint; it is strong. Strong paint is paint as strong as paint can be. Weak paint is pant not so strong.
 If one paint takes 10 gallons to do a job and another Is, the 10gallon paint is the stronger.
 If one paint wears. 10 years, and another 5, the 10-year paint is the stronger.
 The strongest paint is the one that takes least gallons and wears longest.
 But do such differences exist? Yes and greater. Devoe is the strongest of all. A job that takes 10 gallons Devoe takes more than 20 of some. And a job of Devoe wears several times as long as job of some paints. O E Perry, East Sth St, Erie, Pa, painted two houses same size; same time; with two paints same price; took gallons Devoe to of the oth- CT; and in three years Devoe was the better looking job. There are strong and weak paints; we all want the strongest; paint can't be too strong.
