Federal WRITTEN ASH
METHODS

In the days when the practice Of
/ whitewashing barns and fences was
much more common than IN these
days Of more durable point, It was a
matter Of general knowledge among
those who were adept at whitcwash-
ing that the best mixture for the
purpose was one devised by govern
mcnt experts and which went under
the generic terms of government
.whitewash."
The government still has a brand
Of first class and superior white
wash on tap and 1t is used almost
exclusively at departmental hear
ings, congressional Investigations,
and other hectic performances
staged by federal officials.
Some times 1t Is not the general
governmental desire to use any
whitewash, and for such cases
special brand OF governmental black
paint Is provided.
The latest application of govern
ment whitewash was given the
public view when Captain McVcy Of
the steamer Mackinac and Assistant
Engineer Mullen Of the same craft
were found not guilty OF contribut-
Ing to the disaster which cost more
than 50 lives near Newport last
summer,
It appears from the deliberations
Of the federal steamboat inspection
service that the chief engineer was
the only person who knew any
thing about the lcaky boiler 1t ap-
pears that the assistant engineer
reported the condition TO the chief
engineer. which whitewashed any
semblance Of blame from the assist
ant, The chief engineer, however,
did not report the situation to the
captain.
True, the boat earlier in the day
was delayed several hours while the
boiler was patched up; but the cap
tain apparently did not know what
caused the delay. He probably
merely paced the bridge impaticntly
and orcrcd the charnel boat TO pro-
coed when the chief engineer re-
ported the boiler was fixed"
Something was wrong with the
boat, but the efficient and
alcrt-kncw it not If he had had
a little curiosity and made an at
tempt 10 find out the cause of the
mornings delay 50 people now dead
might still have been in the land Of

FREE ADVERTISING
FOR MOVIE STARS

Our movie stars simply could not
prosper without a certain amount
Of free advertising; and they are
willing TO have 1t for the asking
merely by being bit spectacular in
their personal lives, II necessary.
There was the case OF Gloria
Swanson, who has just returned
from Europe with her husband, n
marquis IN possession Of a name as
long as the alphabet. Miss Swan
son spoke about her marquis at
great length, and our old reliable,
the Associated Press, carried her
remarks into thousands OF news
papers. The gist OF the film stars
version Of the marriage was that
she took the marquis purely for
love, and would have married him
even had he not been a marquis.
All Of which was remarkable
enough TO deserve extensive tele-
graphing. The marquis himself
busted the reporters by emphasize
ing that his title was the genuine
article, and that he didn't merely
tell it to Gloria to impress her.
The case of Rudolph Valentino
also Is typical OF the ability Of
movie stars 10 get preferred posi-
tons in the journals of universal in
formation. Rudolph Is en- route
from Los Angeles to Europe merely
to enjoy a vacation. But his wife,
Winifred Hudnut, is en- route from
Europe to Los Angeles, presumably

He Who Laughs Last


BY Paul Cook
When Noah worked upon the ark
The ncighbors gathered round
And Knocked him for his foolish
plan
To build there on the ground
A boat In which he hoped to sail
Upon the waters wild;
And many laughed aloud at him,
While others merely smiled.
Poor nut" they said, what makes
you think
You'll need craft like that?"
But Noah answered not word,
Though he had an answer pat.
He and his sons just kept at work
And finished up the job,
Nor paid the least attention to
The heckling Of the mob.
And then the rain began TO fall
From out the sullen skies
And people sought refuge in vain,
With terror stricken cries.
But DER that waste Of waters rode
The ark, serene and slow,
And on the deck Pa Noah sang,
