the White House was to provide more

course, conditions affecting the suites

plish this has been another matter. in
ashlnch as most of the architects who
nave looked into the subject have de-
clared thai he only way to provide
moro rooms at The White House was
to raise the roof, ana 1t was realized
that such dissertation would provoke
opposition that congress might be I'M
able to ignore,
Now along comes the ~resourccful
Col. Crosby with a solution which
seems to be acceptable to everybody.
lie proposes, by a wave of the archi-
tectural wand, to create half a dozen
rooms out of thin air in the White
HOUSE attic. and in doing so he pro-
poses to disturb not a bit the aspoct
of the White House as viewed from
the exterior. Indeed, Col. Crosby pre-
diets that when the changes have been
completed a person can walk all
aroEnd tho White House and view All
OF its four sides without being able
to detect any evidence of alteration.
As a matter of fact, it is proposed to
admit daylight to the new rooms that
are to he created by means of several
new SkNlights and some additional
windows. but the former will scarcely
be visible unless one inspcrts the
White House from an ]acroplane. and
the new windows will he ComnIntNlv
hidden by the massive railing or baIls-
trade which, fortunately for the pres
ent purpose. extends entirely around
the White House and screens the t,nn-
sard roof In which the new windows
will he placed.
The only regret. and that Is a scnti-
mental one, in connection with this
new scheme is that it will wipe out
of existence the tabled white House
attic of the days of yore. In wears
gone by wonderful stories were old
ana written of the varied treasures
that were stored away in the White
House, attic, and it was q place of
mystery regarding which almost every
White House visitor manifested Curl
ostty. Most of the reports were justi-
fled, too, because, In those days, the
White House attic contained a little of
everything-the relics of a score of
administrations. From this attic In
latter years have been rescued some
OF what are now regarded as among
the most interesting art objects at the
White House, and several notable
pieces OF silverware and tableware

ing public the most emphatic denial
that there would be any architectural
changes in the exterior OF the time
honored building. Colonel Crosby, it
may be explained, might be termed
the superintendent of the White
House-the general manager under the
president. To be sure, his official title,
Officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds" conveys, to the un-
initiated, no hint of his White House
responsibilities, but in reality the SUI
pervision of the presidential mansion
and its grounds is about the most i'm
Lortant of his varied duties. Why, he
even attends to buying the furniture
and furnishings for h White House.
Well, to make a long story short,
Colonel Crosby nipped agitation in the
bud by announcing that the forthcom-
ing changes in the White House would
be confined to the interior, and would
be limited to the attic floor. He did
not go into detail because he has not
even yet determined just what will be
done, but his assurances acted as oil
upon troubled waters. It will also
make it easier for Colonel Crosby q
induce congress to make the needed
appropriation, although there is little
danger of a slip-up in that direction,
for it is a sort of unwritten lava
time-honored tradition as it were
that congress must, without bubble,
provide the president of the United
States with any funds he may need
for the maintenance of his dwelling
and it's furnishings. Moreover, the

Die for the film, proved that it had led
to the trial and conviction of many
dalrymen for violation of the pure food
regulations. It's exhibition was not dis
| continued.
Much is being said nowadays in
Germany about the possible evil eff
fects of moving pictures, but the other
/ i'd of the question, the moving pic
ture as a public educator, is we'll illus
trated by the experiment of Professor
Schlossmann. His film showed par
ticularly how impure milk is RESPONSE
bic for many of the diseases of chill
dren, and it was exhibited extensively
throughout the Rhine province in pro-
noting a propaganda for reducing the
rate of %infantile mortality. The net
results so far have been excellent.
Inc health authorities are enforcing
existing rules and regulations much
more effectively; the dairymen are
producing a better article, and the
children are drinking cleaner and
purer milk.
Moving pictures have become an i'm
portant part of the entertainment
business in Germany. There are now
50 iS@' ii"h @EU IloNliS picture thed-
ters' in the capital, with as many
more in the suburbs. The tendency
now is to erect special houses, archi-
tecturallY suited for picture shows.
Three such establishments are now
building in Berlin, one of which will
seat 1000 persons.
On the other hand, there are already
signs of over-production in the bust
ness. With SO many competitors in
the field, prices of admission must
necessarily be kept very low. More
over, the film-producing companies,
which are on a strong financial basis,
are making harder terms for the show
managers than hitherto, particularly
for the better class of films. AS COM
petition grows, the tendency to put on
trashy, sensational and melo-dramatic
films increases. Many of the mama
gers hew as closely as possible to the
line of police prohibition; hence the
cry is raised with growing frequency
in the press for a more rigid censor
ship of films. A committee of univer-
sity professors, scientific and literary
men n artists, has been appointed to
find ways and e for making the
moving picture do better service in
disseminating general knowledge, par
ticularly of a scientific and educa-
tiona value.

Whole amount needed in this present
instance will be less than $40, 900, SO
that there will be no chance for the
cry of extravaganza that has been
raised against one or two of our presi-
dents in the matter of their White
House expenditures.
On the face of it this latest scheme
for charging the White House con
stitutes a project for providing more
room for the new White House fam
ily-the new tenants that take pos
session on March 4. Yet, as a matter
of fact, President-elect Wilson has
been for the most part a passive figure
IN the matter. He didn't know any
thing about it or that it was contem-
plated until Col. Crosby %journeyed to
New Jersey n day early in the year
and submitted the plans which the
pre~sident-elect FASTENED to approve.
Thus, though this interesting project
IS to be carried out during the Wilson
regime, it comes about through no
initiative of the Wilson family, who
will benefit by it.
1t is not, you understand, that this
plan would not have worked out in
just the same way if the president
elect had proposed it. Nor it is meant
to ~nsinuat that it would not have
been etiquette for the incoming presi-
dent to make such a wish known. On
the contrary it is the privilege of a
newly chosen chief magistrate to re-
quest any White House alterations
that may strike his fancy, just as it is
n of the perquisites of a new First

and should associate itself closely with
the life of the city, md that the hon
orS were given to men who had
worked for the welfare Of the COM
munity.
The matter has not been allowed to
rest, however, and there is talk of an
appeal to the priyy council, in which
ultimate control of the university is
vested, to cancel the degrees.
Worse things are whispered in the
general agitation, the short and ugly
word of American muckrakers-graft,
The British call it ~"jobbery.' Con-
tracts for supplies to the university
are voted without competition to
members of the council, say some of
the critics, and on terms that make
them more profitable than ordinary
business.

Once again important changes arc
to be made in that dwelling which
from every consideration of popular
interest, sentimental regard and his
torlcal significance, must be accounted
THE first residence of America" For
tunately, for the sake of tradition, the
changes in the White House which
will be carried out this year, if con-
gress votes the money, Will not alter
the exterior appearance of the presi-
dental mansion. Only the interior will
be affected by this project, but, of
course, that does not detract from it's
Importance.
In this respect then, this present
proposal for doing over the execu-
tive mansion is not so radical as that
reconstruction of the White House
which took place during the admin
istration of President Harrison. But
maybe it is just as we'll that it is not,
for our readers may remember that a
great hue and cry was raised when
Roosevelt undertook to make over the
presidential mansion under the guild
ance and advice of several eminent
architects. 1t didn't seem to matter
either that the strenuous tenant was
aiming merely to reseore the White
House to the architectural status that
obtained in the early days of the cap
1tal and to carry out the original
ideas of the statesmen who planned
a presidents palace The twentieth
century critics lost sight of all else in
the mere fact that a hallowed edifice
was being tempered with and although
the reconstruction project was pushed
through to the ultimate satisfaction
of nearly everybody, it was lone only
in the face of a flood of letters and
resolutions of protest.
When, early in 1918, it began to be
whispered about in Washington thai
h powers that be had plans afoot
for more changes at the White House
there was every indication that an
other storm of protest was brewing.
Thereupon the diplomatic Colonel
Crosby, U. S. A., lost no time in maxi

Moving Pictures in Germany

Berlin, Feb. PA moving picture
film showing the dangers of an impure
milk supply has been exhibited with
such good effect in Germany that
health officials at ono became much
more rigorous in their enforcement of
h pure food regulations. Their cam
paign against negligent dairymen was
conducted with such energy that the
milkmen finally presented a petition
to the authorities, asking for the pro-
hibition of this particular film. In re-
ply to this action Professor Schloss-

Lady of the Land to order a new
china dinner service If she is so in
c,ined and congress, as above ex-
planned, is in honor bound to foot
the bill without hemming or having.
The main purpose of the White
House changes Of 1919 is to provide
additional guest chambers in the man
sion. The need of additional accom-
modations of this kin has been a
matter of comment for years past in
intimate White House circles, and the
Taft family has been seriously incon-
Nen1enced OF a number of occasions
by the limited number Of sleeping
rooms. 1t would not be so bad were
the White House occupied by "a small
family or by a large family that in
Nlted few house guests, but when you
have, as in the case of the Tafts, a
numerous household so Hospitality in
clined that it is frequently desired TO
entertain for days at a time numerous
guests there is more of a suggestion
of crowding than is compatible with
the dignity of the home of the ruler
of the republic.
Under present conditions there arc
available for the use of the members
of the presidential family and their
guests a total of just bedrooms.
Or, to state the case more correctly,
it may be said that there are seven
suites, for each of the bedrooms COT

vate bath adjoining, and five of the
sever huge bedrooms have, in each
instance, d smaller room connecting,

designed for use as n dressing room.
However, during the Taft regime.
there has been such a tax upon the
particularly when the sons of the
president are at home, that it has
been found necessary to place beds in
several of the so-called dressing rooms
md to W. these rooms do service as
bedrooms.
The officials whose duty 1t is to
make the presidential family comfort
able while they are in the White
House, have figured it out that the
Wilson household will in reality need
more room in the private part of the
mansion than either the Tafts or the
Roosevelts. To be sure, in number
the three junior members of the Taft
family counterbalance those of the
Wilson family, but it must be borne
in mine that two of the Taft trio are
young men who have been at the
White House but seldom save in col
lege vacation intervals, whereas Presi-
dent-elect Wilson has three grown
daughters who will presumably be
at home most of the time, and who will
probably invite more house guests
than did the masculine members of
the Taft family. AS for conditions
during the Roosevelt regime, the chill
dren, except one daughter, were
OUNCE at the time; the two oldest
boys were away at school, and there
