"She said that each spring she laid
sixty or eighty eggs which she would
hatch out in a mound of brush and dry

"She said the heat helped the hatch

"She didn't care to work hard.
''She was fond of an easy life. She

"Then she'd quite forget about the

of food.
Nothing, she said, was so important
as food and good appetite, not even

also said that once the eggs had be-

after themselves.
"She didn't believe in looking after

that all mother alligators agreed with

''If they bothered her she would eat

Foreign-Born Farmers

Comparatively few of the foreign
born in the United States make their
living from the soil. In many cities
foreigners predominant, but the land
is titled by about 100000 native
white farmers as compared with about
100000 foreign-born white farmers.
Colored farmers outnumber foreign
born farmers two to one. The largest
proportion of foreIgn-born farmers is
in California, the figures being $4,000
to $4,000 non-native. Other states
that have the most foreign-born on
the soil are Michigan, Montana, Ne
braska, South Dakota and Washing

$4,000 foreign-born and 10000 ma
tive farmers. Throughout the country

Central Europe Sorry
IL Imported Muskrots

Recently hunters shot a muskrat
near Saizburg, Austria. Other musk
rats have been seen near Vienna. Be-
fore 1906 this North American animal
was unknown in Europe, but during
that year pair was brought from
America and released on an estate
near Prague. The progeny of these
rats multiplied SO fast that they soon
spread to the Bohemian lakes and for
ests in spite of efforts to exterminate
them. BY 1913 they were all along
the Moldau and along the Eyer river
In Bavaria. In 1914 they reached low
er and upper Austria to the south and
Saxony to the north. Soon they
crossed the Danube but seem to have
been stopped by the Austrian Alps.
When the first muskrats were brought
TO Bohemia it was thought that they
would furnish fur, but the climate of
Europe does not seem to develop a
suitable growth. Central Europe suf-
fers the damage caused by the ro-
dents without the compensation of be-
ing able to use the skins.

And, even then, their care of him does not cease. for, with the blue coats of the capital police and 6 possible detail of military, the secret service must keep up the vigIl by constantly patroling the White House grounds at night.
 Other rulers of other nations may be more eonspicuously guarded by brilliantly decorated troops and spe- cisl life guards, as is the king of England and all the royal family.
 Bat, 10 head of any nation. 1t is conceded. Is more effectively pro. tected than our own president with his plainclothes squad from the Treasury Department.

CRANKS TO HOSPITAL

Once in awhile some poor unfortunate afflicted with a slight taint of insanity-some monomanac or super-crank-attempts to pass the guards and gain the presidents ear to air his pet peeve. Most of these are perfectly harmless, but if they show any signs of mental disorder they are taken to Gallinger Hospital, operated by the District of Columbia, for observation.
 They ere usually held at the hospital for two weeks, then released if there are no alarming symptoms.
 Foreign notables and dgnitaries usually ar. range for audiences with the president through their embassies. The embassies communicate with the Department of State, and the department does the rest.
 Business appointments are made by telephone or letter with the presidents secretary. These are usually short and snappy. seldom of more than IS minutes duration.
 Despite the great number of unusual persons that come to visit the president, it Is almost un. heard of for any of them to depart from the standard form Of address. Even the most unique have been carefully coached as to what to say and how to say it. No Zulu has ever tried to rub noses with the chief executive. no European field marshal has ever tried to kiss him on the cheek.
 PRESIDENT GUARDED
 No matter who the caller may be, the president IS closely guarded through tho entire interview. The same precautions are taken with meek and humble Confucian missionaries as with ferocious. looking Caucasus ehieftains.
 The White House policy is. "An ounce of pre-, yenton saves pound of cure"
 You cant always tell hy appearances The secret service men are always on the job.

CAN'T ESCAPE

 Should the president get awa& from this battery of sleuths eveG for as much as five minutes, the chief in charge of the detail is hahls to severe reprimand if his official head isn't severed from the payroll as a consequence.
 No matter how much the presS. dent may want to avoid the proteo- tion of these guardians, he cannnk $. do 80.
 The secret service operatives S. signed to watch hira are not e liberty to obey requests to leave.
 They can only leave the preA- dent to himself when he is safely inside the portals of the executive mansion.

 When the chief executive goes out for a stroll or to church bis body. guards accompany him. Most often they trail in his wake or throw a cordon of unobtrusive protection about him.
 President Harding was always watched over by a dozen or more sleuths in his visits about the capi. tai and when travelling.
 When he attended religious ser. vices, the two rows immediately be- hind the presidential party were kept vacant.

 The secret service man in charge looks over the note and tells MT, Gish to come back and be introduced to the president at 12:So p. m, the usual time for such introductions.

 If Mir. Gish is on bad terms with Congressman Blatt and doesn't want to ask him a favor he can present himself at the executive offices with out any note.

 If MT, Gish looks like a suspicious character. he Is naturally more or less out of luck. He is politely told that Mr. President is too busy to see any one.

 That is just small cross section of the constant White House callers parade-a mere squad in the IlGe of march.
 Indeed, one of the advantages of being pres. dent of the United States Is in meeting strange and unusual people.
 Rulers of far of and strange provinces, men whose accomplishments are unusual Americans who stand out from others by reason of some service or of some peculiarity, sooner later find their way to the White House. All visitors need not be unusual. Sometimes they're just old friends of the president.
