A PROBLEM IN FIGURES.
Il Scared the Mathematician, but the
Women Solved It.

II Scared the Mathematician, but the
Women Solved It.
One day teacher Of mathematics
went shopping with his wife. He tag
ged along listlessly from counter to
counter until they came to the dress
trimmings department, and there he
found something in his line. Said his
wife to the saleswoman:
How wide is that gold spangled
black crape?"
.sThree-eighths Of a yard" said the
girl
How much is it yardT
.srhree dollars"
We'll said the professors wife,
how much Of three-eighths wide ma
terial will it take to put four six-inch
strips around two and three-quarter
yard skirt that is seven inches mar
rover at the knees than it is at the
bottom, and how much will 1t cost7''
At the first mention Of those figures
the professors head began to reel, and
it reeled still more when his wife and
the girl got out pencils and paper and
began to do their sum. Presently his
wife said:
"Here, dear; you know all about
mathematics. Help us solve this prob
lem, won't your

the amount of material required, and
the professor took her word for it that
she didn't pay cent too much. -Phila-

THE WHITE HOUSE.
Msdison's Part In Giving the Exccu'
tive Mansion Its Name.

Madson's Part In Giving the Exccus
tive Mansion Its Name.
Just how the White House came to
be SO designated is question ON
which historians differ. A local his
sorian in Washington thinks that the
burden Of proof tends to give credit
for the name to President Madison.
The structure was made of Potomac
river freestone. and the capitol proper
was built Of the same stone. At the
time the British burned the executive
mansion they did lot of other dam
age. and the country was pressed for
money to repair the same. The walls
of the mansion were only slightly dam
aged. other than being blackened by
smoke. Money was scarce. and con-
gress made an appropriation to have
the outside of the house painted. White
was selected as the best color. Madi-
son in letter to a personal friend
wrote: "COme in and see me at any
time. You will always find me in at
the White House"
The executive mansion may have
been called the White House before
that time, but this investigator says
that he has never been able to find any
record Of it. If Madison did not off,
ciate at the christening it has been
emphatically stated by the historian
that he took prominent part in pub
fishing the fact that the White House
was to be the name Of the mansion.
Up to the time of President Madison
the executive mansion, which is the
legal name for it, was generally spo-
ken of as the presidents house. but
since then it has been known by its
permanent name of White House. -Tlx-

M'DUFFIE POINTS
TO HIS RECORD

Chief Of Detectives McDuflie does
not relish the unwarranted attack on
his department made by the Bulletin
yesterday
81 wish the Bulletin would publish
list Of the burglaries which have
occurred curing the lest three months
where neither the culpmts nor any
part of tho swag have been discover
ed. I think that our work speaks for
itself and am content to let it go at
that Of course in cases like chicken
stealing. where the loot goes into the
pot, It is next to impossible to get
track OF the offenders. The only big
case which remains undecided is the
Culman Robbery. l am workin on
that and on the EfHuger burglary and
expect to clear both matters UP be-
fore very long"
In the Seaside Hotel robbery it will
be remembered that after working on
the case For eight months McDuffie
arrested and convicted the thief and
returned jewelry to the value of $21O0
the full amount that was stolen, to
the owners on the mainland.
In the Wichman robbery he sue
ceeded in recovering goods to the
value Of $4,000 and in putting the cul
priu Lehind the bars.
These facts speak for themselves as
far as criticism of Chief of Detectives
McDu1fe is concerned.
