on Easter Monday to roll multi-col-
ored eggs down it's grassy slopes, and
as no adults were admitted unless
they brought children with them it
was not unusual for those without
little ones to borrow" tots for the
occasion. This has not been done,
however. for several years.
The enforced seclusion of Presi-
dent Wilson, coming on the heels OF
the restrictions SO necessary during
the war. has thus made the White
House one of the dullest spots in
Washington, although in normal times
it is the center of official, political and
even recreational activity. Though
the President has largely recovered
from his illness, it is not thought that
he will see fit to reopen partially the
White House during the remainder of
the summer. but the new President.
whoever he may be, is expected to
return to the practices Of other days.

One week ago this morning Gov.
Cox and retinue sampled the White
House acoustics and found them very
exhilarating. The governor spent half
the morning tasting last summer
White House preserves. sitting around
chairs. trying out the official push
buttons and testing the cushions in
the presidential limousine. He fit
into the latter like a nickel-i a slot
telephone.
Absuvnding from the front door
the governor was accosted by a brace
of newspaper men disguised as civil
lians. and asked how he enjoyed the
democratic culinary department. He
shook his head negatively and an
swered yes" which proves that he is
a diplomat. at least.
The clairvoyant who read Gov.
Cox's palm found some excellent cam
paign literature concealed among the
Bertillon hieroglyphics.
Some of the symptoms which the
hollow of his paw were:
Height: Can enter the south por-
tico without STOPPING.
Temperament: Even as a mules.
Fingers: Adept at pushing desk
buttons.
Habits: Addicted to golf.
Eyes: Two.
Throat: Dry.
He left an autograph copy Of his
pedigree with Secretary Tumulty for
official diagnosis. His history, past
and future, reads like chapter from

as chief executive Of the
nation. the fourth day Of next
March is certain to make a very no.
ticeable change at the White House
which, though one. OF the show
places" of the nation. has been closed
to the public much of the time for
almost four years.
Even before this nation entered the
European war the bitter passions OF
that period caused extra safeguards
to be placed about high officials and
public buildings, and the declaration
of war was a signal for all the large
buildings in Washington. including
the galleries at the Senate and House
to be closed except to those who had
credentials from some responsible
person.
The iron gates of the White House
at that time were shut inexorabiy
against all those who did. not have
some official business there. and they
have never been opened, though the
restrictions as to other places grad
ually have been removed. Those VINO
go to the White House now on orul-
nary errands, such as the presentation
|of memorials or petitions, or to ask
executive aid or clemency in some
matter. must enter at the small gate
at the west end of the grounds. just
a few steps from the executive Of
fees. and are not admitted to- the
grounds proper.
Have to Keep on Grass.
Only cabinet officers. diplomats or
persons of special Importance are al
lowed to go in at the main entrance,
and even the White House CORE
spondents may not walk about the
lawns north Of the big house, where
in other years the public used to be
admitted without question.
The reason for these restrictions
ia that about the time the heat of war
had begun to cool and the other
buildings were being opened to the
public President Wilson was taken ILL.,
and 1t was thought advisable to keep
the public as far away from him as
possible. The plan was desirable
from the view of the secret service
men, as it was an additional safe
guard against his being disturbed by
cranks and sensation seekers

Visit or n Japanese Warship.
For the first time in several years
a Japanese warship is visiting An
napolis. the seat of the United States
Naval Academy. The officers have
exchanged calls of courtesy with the
naval officials at Annapolis and in
this city. and the warship has been
open to the public generally.

Boston. New York and Norfolk. She
has complement of thirty-three Of
hcers. fourteen warrant officers and
5s4 crew. Capt Heigo Teraoka is

purchased by the Japanese govern
