PORTRAIT Of WILSON
PUT ON EXHIBITION
Artistic Work of Miss Noretta
Smith Will Be Given
President.

A handsome portrait of President
Wilson. painted by Miss Noretta Nc
Cormick Smith, a talented young
Washington and New York artist
was on exhibition at the White House
today. pending its presentation to the
Chief Executive.
Owing to the Presidents long ILL
ness, Miss Smith had no opportunities
for a sitting by Mr.. Wilson since his
return from France the last time, and
II was necessary for her to finish the
work from photographs. She began
the portrait nearly a year ago and.
despite the handicaps under which
she labored, her portrayal Of the
Presidents likeness is regarded as re-
markably faithful under the circum-
stances.
1t is expected that the President
and members of his family will view
the portrait during the next few days.
Miss Smith is now engaged in her
studio at the Arlington on a portrait
of Gov. James Cox of Ohio.

If Whiskey Is Stolen.

Many are the worries of the

before Mr.. Volstead silenced it.
Especially If in acquiring such
solace for the arid era now upon
us the expense precluded the hir-
ing Of armed minions to guard

Reports of numerous raids by
robbers as well as uncertainty as
to the view prohibition agents
may take OF his treasure bring
troubled visions to harass him
during his sleeping hours and
such OF his waking ones as are
free from the guile and importu-
mites OF less provident friends
and acquaintance. But he had
taken some measure of comfort in
his burglary insurance policy by
which In had thought to guard
against the loss of pecuniary in
vestment If falling to escape be-
reavement OF liquid treasure. Now
that dream, too, Is shattered.
Washingtonians who have
stocked their cellars and obtained
burglary insurance for their
homes. today are receiving no.
tees from a writer OF such pol
icies. These notices inform them
that special burglary insurance
on liquor stocks no longer is being
issued and that the liability for
liquor stocks under the general
policy on their household goods Is
limited to 20 per cent
Truly these be parlous times
for the thirsty.

If my work interferred with our time together at home, would have to go over the servant girl problem with him again.
 As I sang at my kitchen table I no- ticed that the furniture which Ives had promised was being carried into Ann's bungalow, the other side of my lilac hedge. Last to go in was a magnifi- cent player piano It was daddy's choicest gift to the new home.
 Daddy is very fond of music and he knows a perfect instrument when he hears one. Naturally, he wanted to test Ann's player piano as soon as pos sible. He stopped at my door in the middle of the afternoon and invited me to go with him to Anns house

CHIHUAHUA CITY IS
IN HANDS OF REBELS
Gales Announces Capture Of
One Of Largest Cities in
North Mexico.

Aqua Prfeta, Sonora. - Chihuahua
City, capital of the state of the same
name, is definitely in the hands of
the revoIutionists, it was announced
by General P. Elias Gales Saturday.
Chihuahua City is one of the largest
cities in Northern Mexico. 1t has a
population of approximately 10000.
General Ignacio Enrique, candidate
for governor of Chihuahua, according
to General Gales, was at Santa Ysabel
with $500 state militia, marching
toward Chihuahua to reinforce Cen
eral Eugenio Martinez and Colonel
Francisco Arco, former federal COM
mander, who deserted with their
troops
Telegraphic communication was es-
tablished between Chihuahua City,
Santa Ysabel, Hermosillo, capital OF
Sonora, and military headquarters Sat-
urday. General Gales said he was
in direct communication with General
Enrique.
The revolutionists control virtually
all Northern Chihuahua, it was said,
with the exception of Juarez, opposite
Ell Paso, Tex, and Casas Grandes,
near the Sonora boundary.
At Casas Grandes Carranza troops
have been concentrating for three
weeks for an attempt to invade So
nora and wrest the state from the
revolutionary leaders.
The reVolutionists claim they have
between 5000 and 5000 troops under
their command in Chihuahua. These
include infantry, cavalry and defense
societies" or home guards"
General Gales issued statement
which said in part:
"The revolution is sweeping for
ward beyond all expectations. In less
than ninety days Carranza will be
deposed. Justice once more will pre-
vail then in Mexico. The Carranza
forces are revolving so rapidly there
is no failure"
