Note to the traffic cop, brighten
corner where 9 are"
happen to be there-it was aryang-
ed in advance. Each day the Preei-
dent'a schedule for next day Is given
out to the correspondents at the
White House. If any Of these Actf-
vities lend themselves to news pic
lures. the photographers arrange to
be there. Now and then the photog-
raphcrs are able to pull off stunts Of
their own devising.
In spite or the willingness Of the
modern public official to be photo
graphed, the news photographers are
moi cynical when it comes to the es-
sential modesty of such men. Many
notables, were they to consult their
own feelings, would shrink from the
camera as does the rare individual
who holds up a newspaper in front
Of his face to prevent the photog-
rapher from giving him unwelcome
publicity. But public men, most OF
them, believe thoroughly in full pub
licity; and they feel that the pub
lie has just as much right to see
what they look like as it has to read
] about what they are doing. And 80
fthey submit to the snapshot as a duty
that comes to them with office.
Now and then, however, there
comes the rare individual who OBJ
Jects. General Dawes was one OF
these. When he was first made d.
rector of the budget he held his IA
nous meeting with the governmental
heads; and in his speech, to Illus
trate how useless government em-
ployes should be swept out and ex-
penses cut down, he waved q new
broom in front of his audience. Gov
eminent economy was then the
watchword; and a photograph OF
General Dawes waving his broom
would have been good stuff. Hut
he refused to pose. The photograph
ers appealed to President Harding
who was there; but he only replied,
| Win u laugh NO, tIlS 10 10AS1o
Dawes own show. I'll not inter
fere."
Later on a photographer happen
| ed to surprise General Dawes on the
capitol steps. He secured a good
picture, and after that the pictur-
| esque general was not so camera
| shy.
There Is one familiar figure in
| Washington, a man who on several
occasions has been prominently In
the public eye, who has never been
photographed. This man is Andrew
Furuseth, the head Of the Seamen's
Union and the man who IL a. much
responsible as any other for the pro-
visions of the LaFollette law regulat-
ing the conduct OF u merchant
marine. So far as Is known here,
no picture of Andrew Furuseth hts
ever been published. More thai
