Always Guarded

Walking or sleeping, he is always under the alert guardianship of lynx eyed, athletic operatives whose sole duty is to protect the chief executive from even the approach of danger or annoyance.
 Plans for guarding the president and the white house were all worked out 24 hours before President Will son announced to congress that he had handed von Bernstortf his pass ports.
 Chief Flynn came from New York, personally directed the arrangements and summoned his most trusted men for body-guard duty.
 And when the president, rrt"rning from the capitol, drove throGeh the big gates of the white house gro nds and they swung to behind hin, he found himself as completely crs os from contact with the public5 and his every movement as carefully safe guarded, as they would be in actual war time.
 The man actively in charge or guarding the president is Joe Murphy. who through long years in the secret service and on duty at the white house and executive o:;ceS, knows how to handle every situation to minimize the chances of danger. The chief of the bodyguari squad proper, who is to be found at the presidents side whenever he steps outside the white house, who is al most as inSeparable as his shadow, is Richard Jarvis, tried and true oper- ative.
 Capt. Jack Washer of Cleveland. and John Slye and Ed Starling, white house operatives, are in sub ordinate command of details of the secret service guard.
 In addition to the added secret ser vice men, extra capitol police have been put in and around the white house. All the big gates to the grounds are closed and guarded, and anyone entering by the only open way past the executive office-muSt run the guantlet of both police and secret tumn sowing and 1O,OOO,OOO to H.

THE Honor System" has proven
very successful at the Boys Indus.

to H. E. Flesher, the superintendent,

as at the depot at Fairmont last sum.
mer, without single boy breaking
the trust imposed in him. Some Of the
boys at Grafton do not report but
every other Sunday. Some of them
return to the school once week.
Prof. Flesher is confident that the
honor. system" Is the right thing for
such a school and endorses the sug.
gestion of Governor Cornwell that 1t
spread to the jails of the state.
There are $40 boys enrolled at the
Industrial school at Pruntytown. 1t
is the largest enrolment in the his.
tory of the institution. The school has
$500 acres of land and is farming II
extensively. The school raised beans
the, past year to the value Of $4,000
/ and sold probably a car load in Fair
mont, the Consolidation Company
taking about $50 worth. Many Of the
beans were sold for seed. Two farms
Of 900 acres are devoted to live stock
The work of the school throughout Is
very satisfactory and leads to those
in touch with the work speaking In
high praise of those in authority.

that the same grade could not be had
for the same price at all. And the
same thing is being discovered right
along in other things. And not only
cannot the same prices be obtained
but neither can the same quality be
found in many cases.

haps because constantly new. Every.
one knows silk hosiery will not wear
and now the guarantee has been taken
off even by the Holeproof people. BY
next year there will be five threads
of wood fiber and three threads oil
silk in standard grade. Wood fiber
is not silk at all but all cotton It
took forty years of experimenting to
learn to make fiber silk-it is much
coarser than pure silk and is spun
from wood pulp
Silk of all kinds is very highly
priced but this is due mainly to fin
ishing charges. Raw silk dropped in
price finishing charges went up 20
per cent. There is a shortage In the
silk used for airplane wings-also In
the linen used for them. The govern
ment is experimenting with cotton in
the hope OF being able to use 1t for
these wings. If this is done cotton
goods will go up in price even more
than they have so far.

the city-so much In demand for small
affairs. There are many attractive

with sachet bag attached and cards
even with small candles tied on and

doll furniture took my eye. Small

with complete outfits prove that even
without more substantial dolls, a
good substitute can be had.
Rubber hatrpins, pins and knitting
needles are scarce. All OF these ma
terials are being used for war pur
poses. Did you know that knitting
needles were being made with silver
gold and enamel heads with tip to
put on for protection-both for the
needle and for the fellow who happens
near?
Embroideries and laces are made
mostly abroad and as consequence
the future supply for the stores will
be some different. While we cannot
make as fine laces or laces made as
we'll, still the quality we have com
pares fayorably with laces in stores
OF other cities near. We still gel
along with less lace and ornament
during the war anyway. Some very
pretty patterns of lace are being sold
here at very little raise in price from
last year OF course it must be re
membered that we are now taking
advantage OF goods ordered a year
ago and while these goods last We will
not feel the heel OF the war in buying
as we are going to feel It in another
year. Merchants say that 1t will be
impossible to get anymore goods al

Many of the large bridge contract.

their attention to the new bridge
which is to be constructed over the
Monongahela river. In the past few
days several letters of inquiry have

from the contracting firms.
For the construction Of the South
Side bridge but one bid was received,
this being from the John F. Casey
