Paris Women Dislike Motors.

In virtue of municipal decree
which came into force recently, the
famous Alice des Acacias will be
closed to all but horse-drawn vehicles
up to July 14-throughout, that is, the
whole of the Paris season. In this
happy innovation-or reaction, If you
prefer-we scent feminine initiative.
En- auto my lady's most fetching hat
or costume was simply lost Admir-
ing glances could not keep pace with
her trente chevaux. 1t was worse
than useless for her prettiest shoes
and stockings. for no one could see
them. But in victoria or landeau she
will have space and leisure to be ad-
mired.-Paris Letter to the London
Telegraph.

SMITH WAS PERPLExED.

Postmaster General Burleson had a
caller the other day, and when the
caller and transacted his business Mr..
Burleson was minus just So. The man
had been hanging around the post
master generals outer Office some
time. He explained to Ed Smith, con-
fidential clerk of the postmaster gen.
eral, that he was a lawyer, had been
to see Secretary of War Garrison and
wanted just a minute with the post
master general. Smith explained that
his chief was very busy, but he man
aged to get the visitor in to see him
late in the afternoon. AS the latter
emerged from the postmaster generals
presence Smith was called in.
Look here, Smith, said the post
master general, don't you know that
you let a book agent in to see me?"
Smith was perplexed.
But never mind" continued Mr..
Burleson. He had a book for sale
for which have been looking for the
last three years and bought one from
him."

NOT THAT KIND.

Key Pittman, new senator from Ne
vada, did much of his primary cam
paigning in an automobile, the auto
being the recognized mode of convey
ance in that state of few railroads.
Far out In the wilderness one day
the machine broke down, Pittman
and his fellow-spellbinders wrestled
with 1t without avail. They needed
more tools than the box contained.
A hundred yards from the roadway
stood little shack. Pittman hailed it.
A broad-shouldered Swede emerged.
Hey" called Pittman, "have you
got a monkey wrench?"
"Huh?" said the Swede.
Il said, have you got a monkey
wrench?"
No; this no ban monkey ranch;
this ban sheep ranch" and he slammed
the door.

GREAT INFLUX OF IMMIGRANTS

The influx of immigrants into the
United States for the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1913, will probably be
greater than that for any other year
in the history of the country. Judging
from the reports now being received
by the commissioner general of immi-
grafton, the arrival Of aliens in this
country by the end of June will pass
the high water mark Of 1907, when ap-
proximately 100000 immigrants
landed on the shores of America.
Statistics received by Commissioner
General Keefe show that for the first
nine months of the present fiscal year,
which ended March 81, 1913. total of
SSS,S99 immigrants arrived in this
country at all ports Of entry. If this
ratio should keep up, it is estimated
that at least 100000 additional will
arrive during the last three months of
the year, which will bring the grand
total up to 1,30S, ,S99. the highest mark
ever reached, according to the records
at the immigration bureau.

COLLECTION OF RARE BIRDS.

A collection of more than 1000 rar
birds has been presented to the Smith
sonian institution as the result of an
expedition through Africa by Maj
Edgar Mearns. U. s. A, retired, OF
the army medical corps. The birds
are now being classified and cataloged.
Major Mearns accompanied Colonel
Roosevelt on his famous African tour,
and he was asked to make a second
trip with an expedition fitted out by
Childs Frick. son of the steel magnate.
He also represented the Smithsonian
institution on this expedition.

Hot Sun No Aid to Crops.

Farmers will be interested to learn,
ON the authority of French scientist,
that just as good harvests can be ex-
pected after a dull summer as after q
long spell of sunshine.
He says that the value of the burn.
ing orb's rays in helping crops is
greatly overestimated. Observations
show that crops were just as good
after the summers of 1910 and 1912,
when the skies generally were over.
cast. as after the universally sunny
summer of 1911.
The reason for this. he says. is that
only a moderate quantity of light is
necessary to assimilate the carbonic
gas in the air.

Front DOOR GUARD
One of the Most Coveted Posi-
tions at Capital.
Post at White House Greatly Desired
by Members of the Police Force
Men of Rare Qualities Arc Re-
quired for the Service.

To be ION the front door" of the
executive offices at the White House
is the most coveted police assignment.
1t is much of "fixeo post" and the
men on the post hold it down, year in
and year out, whoever may be presi-
dent. So their less favored associates
on the force may feel envious, but
opportunities to supersede the incum-
bents' are Happenings of once in a de-
cade.
The front door is guarded during
the day by two privates and SER
geant. The sergeant comes ON duty
early in the morning and remains un-
til the force of the executive office
goes home. The two subordinate al
ternate in the early and late tricks,
one coming before the sergeant ar
rives, and being relieved in the middle
of the day by the man who must stay
until after dark.
The sergeant has been stationed at
the White House for over fifteen
years. One of the privates got his
assignment eleven years ago, and his
companion has had the post for eight
years.
They were chosen for special quail
ifications. They stay because they
have made good" Tactfulness, gra-
ctousness, gentleness- characteristics
which are not expected of the average
policeman engaged in quieting down
disorderly persons-and also a wide
familiarity with the faces and names
Of public men are required of the men
on the front door.
Sergt. c. L. Dalrymple-he ranks
as desk sergeant-is remarkable for
the number of men he knows by sight
and name. He has a most retentive
memory. His brand of courtesy Is
Chesterfieldian; he is anxious to sat
isfy every inquiry, give every aid to
the visitor to accomplish the end he
seeks, and goes out of his way to
please and accommodate.
The executive offices are sometimes
the scene chosen for disorder by men
with grudge to exploit, or with an
insane idea of some sort. Sergt.
Dalrymple has dealt with such in
stances for many years-and 1t is not
violence with which he meets the sit
uation.
The person who insists on seeing
some one who is not to be seen is al
lowed, as long as he or she is unob-
trusive, to sit in the anteroom until
their persistence wears out and they
are ready to move on. Where insist
ence becomes of the belligerent sort,
the disturber is coaxed to the door on
some sufficient pretext, and persuaded
to go about his business. The crank
is treated in much the same way, but
is gotten quietly into the custody of
the policemen stationed about the
grounds, who disposes of the case in
the orthodox way.
Sergt. Dalrymple-he was a mere
high private in those days-was as
signed to the White House in 1898.
when Mckinley was president. He
performed duty on the outside, around
the White House grounds, for three
years before he was called inside, in
1901. Two years after that, in 1908,
he was put on the front door," and
tas stayed put ever since.

THIRD LARGEST IN WORLD.

The foreign trade of Argentina last
year. totaling $S40.o00,000. which was
$120 for each person in the country,
was the third largest per capita trade
among the nations of the world, ac-
cording to a statement just issued by
the Pan-American Union, Holland and
Belgium along made better records.
In comparison, the statement points
out that the per capita foreign trade
Of the United States is approximately
$40.
