cret
The White House grounds have sew
eral entrances. There are four car.
riages entrances and a number OF
gateways for foot passengers. The
watchful representatives Of the press
had a reporter at every point of pos
sible exit The only way in which
Mr. and Mrs. Sayre could have eluded
the press altogether was by uncere-
moniously climbing the back fence
1t was even suspected by some of
the subtle minded watchers that Mr..
and Mrs. Sayre might brave publicity
and make their departure from the
main entrance Of the White House.
But those who had suspected Mr..
and Mrs. Sayre OF anything so UNI
romantic as a dash away from the
public entrance were doomed to disap-
pointed. The bridal couple left
from the rear of the White House in
Secretary Tumulty's car. They es-
capped from the southwestern en-
trance.
There have been more than dozen
positive statements as TO their desina-
ton. Up to the time of their depart
ure, not word has been whispered
from the White House. They would
spend their honeymoon on the presi-.
dents yacht Mayhower; they would
spend II on the Dolphin; they were
going to Mr. Sayre's ranch in Mon
tana; they were going TO spend the
honeymoon quietly in the little Penn
sylvania town where they met; the
Delaware water gap, Palm Beach,
bermuda. and the West Indies were
all on the list, unotliclally announced

Governs public announcement:
The Anti-Tuberculosis association
of Wisconsin appeals to our people to
declare relentless war against the
white plague. Smallpox, diphtheria
and yellow fever have been all but
completely driven from the land. and
it is believed that by effort tuoerculo-
sis also may be bsnished.
Each one OF US can help to pre-
vent the spread of this disease. Knowl-
edge of existing facts cannot fail to
convince an intelligent person of the
need for immediate and vigorous
action.
For the special purpose of dissem-
mating knowledge regarding the ma
ture, prevention and cure of tubercu-
losis, l. Francis E. McGovern, gov
ernor of the state of Wis 5onsin, here
by designate and appoint the seventh
day of December, 1913, as TL5erculo-
sis Sunday, and l earnestly recon-
mend that provision be made in every
community for public gatherings on
that day for the purpose OF learning
the nature of this disease. the means
TO be employed for the relief of those
under its blight, and especially. the
precautions best calculated to pre-
vent its spread.

Asks An.iolI-KlndIing Law.

Recommendation that the use of
petroleum products for kindling fires
in stoves be prohibited by statute are
made in the annual report of the su-
pervisors of Inspectors of Illuminating
oils, Louis T. Meyer, 10 Gov F. e. Nc
Govern. The use of kerosene and gas
oline in kindling fires during the last
year, he says, caused 141 accidents,
loss of 80 lives, injury of So persons
and destruction of s53,S53 in property.
Although the department employs
seven less men than ten years ago,
two and four-ffths times as many
barrels of petroleum products We're
inspected" said Mr.. Meyer. Due to
increased efficiency a saving of 141s
cents on each ten barrels has been eff
fected. More than 100000 barrels
were inspected last year.
"At the close of the last fiscal year
the department turned into the gener-
al fund s37.7o3 90, the largest of any
year This represents the amount
by which inspection fees exceeded sal
aries and other expenses.
Ten years ago the department
spent IA cents out of every dollar col
lected. FIVE years ago 70, while last
year we spent but 81 cents. Here is
saving of II per cent in admins
tration over ten years ago and of %
per cent. over FIVE years ago,
During the next year the depart
ment will be dependent upon an APP
preparation made by the last legisla-
ture, the fees being turned into the
state treasury.
