NOV their lawns. The grass has been

Players on the golf course at Yonkers

TUMU[N ALSOED|TOR
AND DRAMATIC CRITIC
Blue Pencils White House Articles
and O. KS Shows for
President.

An interesting account of how Jo-
seph Tumulty, secretary to the Presi-
dent. has been called upon to play the
part of dramatic critic and editor in
addition to his other manifold duties
was told In a recent issue of Leslie's
weekly by it's Washington corre-
spondent. oswald F. Schuette.
The story was as follows:
Probably no man in official life in
Washington is intrusted with such
varied cares and responsibilities as is
the secretary to the President His
work Families into practically every
department of the government. 1t is
through him that all government bust
ness reaches the Chief Executive and
through him in turn that most Of 1t
goes back TO the outside world. In
peculiar way he is the eyes and ears
and the hands of the President. But
Joseph r. Tumulty. secretary to Pres
ident Wilson, has brought into his
work duties even beyond these heavy
tasks. He figures on the White House
staff both as editor and dramatic
critic. Mr. Tumulty's editorial activi-
ties have taken the shape of blue-pen-
Cling articles written to reveal TO an
anxious world the innermost secrets
of the details Of White House ma
