The White House

The White House is the popular
designation OF the home of the
President of the United States, be-
cause of its dominant color. 1t was
formerly known as 1.-THE Presidents
House" and again as 1.-THE Executive
Mansion" 1t is located on Pennsyl-
vania avenue on the line of Sixteenth
street and is about mile and a quar-
ter on a straight line from the Capt.
toll. 1t was designed by James Hoban
and was the first public. building to
he erected in the new Capital. George
Washington was present at the laying
of the corner stone in 1892 and Presi-
dent John Adams was the first occu-
pant in 1900. 1t was built of yir-
ginia sandstone and it's original
dimensions were 179 feet in length
and Sc feet in width. 1t has been
enlarged and improved and has cost
several million dollars. Like the
Capitol. it was burned during the Brit
ish invasion in 1914. The President
and his family occupy the restored
building and an annex on the west
side is used for office purposes. The
main room in the mansion is the
east room and adjoining it are the
green room. the blue room, the red
room ana the state dining room, all
of which are used on state occasions.
All the rooms are beautifully deco
rated and furnished. AS rule they
are the only portions of the house
open to the public, the upper por-
tions Of the building being devoted
exclusively to the private use of the
President and his family. The man
sion underwent a thorough removal
ton during the Presidents recent
visit in his old home in Vermont, and
the east room and one or two of the
others. when not in official use, will
be open to public inspection from
10 to o'clock every day except Sun
day. When it is possible for him
to do so. the President receives callers
when special arrangements have been
made, but does not hold general re-
ceptions at stated periods as was the
custom many years ago.

Rand I'm Every Block.
Mr.. Mccarthy announced that or
ders for bands for various parts Of
the parade during the convention are
being received by the committee so
fast that, in order to cope with the
situation, the idea was advanced and
adopted to have a band in one of the
sightseeing automobiles at every
block of Pennsylvania avenue from
Second to Fifteenth street. Each
portable band is to have music
committeeman member, so that after
leaving the Avenue where all music
is played for the visiting parishes,
the bus drivers will convey these
bands to sections of the District of
Columbia contingent of the conven-
ton Twenty men will be in each
portable band and music will be play
ing continually from the Peace Mon
ument to the reviewing stand on Fiji
teenth street.
The biggest band feature is to be
the boys bands from New York CITY.
Brooklyn and New Jersey, which will
be incorporated in the parade proper.
The portable bands are not to as
sumo positions in the parade until
after these boys bands have passed
up the Avenue. 1t is planned so that
then the local portable bands will be
moved into various sections of the
city and Washington will be entirely
hlled with the strains of band music.

 The game was played and finished. This now was only the epilogue of a drama that was done.
 It was an ironic thing that the performance of his camp duties-not even now to be forgotten-must in- clude the widening of the bed in Dorothy's tent where the welded pair would lie. He kneeled and cut long grass, heaped it into pile, and then loaded it into his great arms. Strangely dulled-partly from the events of tho past hour and partly perhaps, from the effects of yester- days iniury-he made his way to the door of Dorothy's tent through which Ivan and the girl had just passed. Gan I come in?" he called. I've got more hay for your bunk
 Ivan had just closed the tent flap, but Dorothy drew it quickly aside. Pete did not look into her white face as he stumbled in. Fortunately for his peace of mind, he did not see that she was pale and drawn as he had never before seen her. He knet on the floor and began the work of widening her bunk.

Outwardly the most innocent of well-cquipped aid sta tions to motorists, it evidently was as thoroughly outftted to give secret help to all sorts of criminal enter prises.
 If my calculations were correct, a half hour would bring the truck to its doors, and it was but two or three minutes past iial tiIic NISh tli' speed of the truck slackcned to a crawl and I heard the sound of doors pushed back.
