VISITS BIG PRINTING OFFICE
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Gets Waterman,
Into Trouble by Unexpected Call
at Print Shop.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife OF
President Wilson, has been doing q
good deal Of Summing In Washington
ever since she has been here She
has visited all Of the wretched' alleys.
and they are really not very numer-
GUS; all the tumbled-down buildings,
and we have quite lot of those. and
she In now making the rounds of the
departments to see wherein the con-
ditions Of the clerks can be bettered.
The other day she wandered up to
the government printing office with
some friends to make personal in
spection Of the conditions unAsr which
women are working in THAI building.
Mrs. Wilson always requests that 1t
be not made known who she is, and
furthermore she insists upon visiting
these places unexpectedly, 30 that
there can be no sweeping and busting
beforehand. $50
At the government printing office
she was received: by Henry E. Terry,
one Of the watchmen, and to him she
gave he- orders not to let her identity
be known, then asked him to accom-
pany her around the building. Mrs.
Wilson declined to let Public Printer
Ford know that she was there, and
30 the poor Waterman could do moth
ing but tremble In his shoes and
tramp around over the great building
with the first lady of the land" who
was appearing incognito. Mr.. Terry
was nearly scared to death, and as
soon as she was out of the Office
and she got out without anybody find
ing out she had been there-Terry
reported to Public Printer Ford that
the presidents wife had been there.
Very naturally he was enraged that
the wife of the president OF the
United States should have been re-
ceived in the government printing
office just as anybody else was re-
ceived who wandered in OF the
streets. Public Printer Ford did not
believe that this comported with the
dignity of the department or himself,
and as Waterman Terry had COM
mitted a grave breach of the rules
Ford Immediately dismissed him.
OF course Waterman Terry. was
somewhat up in the air. He wanted
printer, and yet he had a dim notion
that the wife of the president of the
United States ranked everybody, and
between the two he was about to lose
out, when he had the forethought of
appealing to Senator Lane of Oregon.
Senator Lane Immediately visited the
White House, told what had happened
and implored Mrs. Wilson to use her
best efforts to have Waterman Terry
reinstated. This Mrs. Wilson proceed
ed to do, and Terry Is again on. the
job, wiser If not sadder man. It will
take more than the wife Of the presi-
dent Of the United States to mako
Terry break another rule of the gov
eminent printing Office. The Wilson's
are not at all ostentatious, and In
their efforts to be just common people,
are continually getting somebody into
trorsble. ......
