WHITE HOUSE IS
MECCA FOR THE
u. S. TOURISTS

Washington, July 5.-The White
House is rapidly becoming one of the
greatest tourist "meccas" in the coun.
try. -..
Every day, now. hundreds of people
are in, the line which winds it's way
past the desk of the President for a
hsndshake. Long before the appointed
hour, the crowd begins to gather on the
plaza before the door.
= The rush began in the spring and has
never abated. Some days there have been
by actual count, more than 1000 in line
the number being swelled by gradual
ink classes of high schools in various
parts of the country. There are never
less than 800.
Occasionally some citizen who has en-.
ioyed a SAVIOR of public life and knows
the burden of its requirements, will
ask in astonishment, "How does the
President stand itf"
Vet there has been no indication that
the custom will be suspended. As it is,
President Harding is, perhaps, the most
|Nproliic handshaker that has ever oc-
cupied the White House. An estimate
of the number of people who have pass
ed his desk since March 4. 1921, would
probably be astounding. 1t probably is
close to 10000.
And there was never a more varied
assemblage gathered in the onter courts
of royalty than can be found in this
body which comes daily-some for thous-
ands of miles--to shake hands with the
President.
Americans are there, from far west,
south, east and north. Foreign nations
are frequently represented. Some days

INTELLIGENT CITIZENSHIP
NECESSARY TO DEMOCRACY

Boston, July 4.-The blessing of de.
mocracy will show only "insofar as il
represents the rule of an intelligent and
cultured people," Secretary Hughes de
clared in paper on the "Aims in Amer.
lean Education" read here tonight be
fore the National Education associa
tion. ..<r..
"The American ideal" the secretary
said, "and il must be maintained if we
are to mitigate disappointment and un.
rest. is the ideal of equal educational
opportunity, not merely for the pur.
pose of enabling one to know how to
earn a living, and to fit into an eco
nomic status more or less fixed, but
of giving play to talent and aspiration
and to the development of mental and
spiritual powers"
The increased demand for educa tional
opportunities and the extraordinary eff.
forts to supply new facilities ,particu.
larly for higher education, were encom
aging. Mr.. Hughes said, but he added
that there was apparent much confu-
sion with respect to the standards and
aims" of education. Vocational train
ing the teaching of the means to earn
a livelihood, he said. would be taken
care of, but he added:
Democracy. cannot live on bread
alone. 1t is not enough that one shall
hs able to earn a living, or a good liv-
ing. This is the foundation, but not
the structure. What is needed is to
have life more abundantly.
Life is not pastime and democracy
is not holiday excursion. It needs
mon trained to think.
'The sentimentalists must not be al
lowed to ruin us by dissipating the en-.
ergy that should be harnessed for our
varied needs" s.
Mr. Hughes held that too much had
bcen done in colleges to encourage "intel.
ieetual vagrancy" so that college
education, outside Of technical schools
may mean little or nothing"
We have given too scant attention
to the demands of training for citizen.

Etectives,
His mind was in whirl, as if a
dozen people were sending il his
mental ether at once. Then, sudden
Fly, as if unconsciously, he Lad
wave length, one idea seemed to
/ swamp all others.
Dick felt that he must get to this
place where Ruth had spent the
night and where Garrick was run
ming into danger, if he had not al
ready fallen into it. And he must
get there first.
He tore out Of the apartment,
grabbed the first taxi, rode only a
few blocks, dismissed him at the cor
ner down the street.
AS he sped down the block, he
could see a car in front of Gerard's.
Then a man ran. across under the
arc light. Dick quickened He saw
in the shadow two men struggling
and third creeping toward them.

was just in time. He hurled him

We're two against two, now.
But at the moment when it seemed
, that each was getting the upper
hand of his man, couple of Others
ran on. Evidently they had been
trailing him from Garrick's where
they must have been watching.
The fight of the four now swung
entirely against Garrick and Dick.
From the avenue whence had
come the new assailants, now came a
quick scurrN Of feet. A whistle.
Someone rapped as with hickory

The newcomers hauled Garrick

feet.
You're under arrest! One of
them flashed a badge Say you

Garrick looked at the badge. They
were revenue enforcement men. He
pulled his own card, issued by the

moment of perplexity, then ex-
plantations and apologies.

CHAPTER VIII.
ALTERNATING AFFECTIONS.
1t was late when Dick finished re-
failing the conversation on which he
had listened in over the wireless die
tagraph
Neverthe less Garrick insisted on
crossing the Park and dropping in
at the Usonia. On the register,
freshly blotted, he read:

1t was not much after seven when
Garrick, Dick and Mrs. Walden rode
up in the Usonia elevator. As the
door changed shut, Mrs. Walden mo.
toned Garrick back, with nod.
In her haste and nervousness she
nearly stumbled to the door of Ruth'e
room. She put her hand on the wall
to steady herself and listened. In
the room she heard voices. She
raped, but did not wait for Ruth

hesitation Ruth ran to her mother.
There was no reprimanding. Mia
