From Gallup

Chas. P. Mason, former editor of
The Mail was up for a few days
this week from Gallup, where he
is now located as secretary OF the
Inter-Tribal Association. Local
people were at a loss to understand
the significance of the bright col
ored cap Mason was wearing and
here is what the Gallup Herald has
to say about it: "Chas. P. Mason,
editor and special writer, is also
a cartoonist. The bright and loud
colored cap he is wearing signifies
that he is one of only two in all
the world wearing such a cap,
which is a reward and recognition
of his interest in the Pendleton
Woolen Mills products, of Portland,
Oregon. The only other cap of its
kind is worn by Harry Hibben OF
Ganado, Arizona Charlie is natur-
ally a bright fellow, so there is no
reason why he shouldn't show it
in other ways than by pushing his
pencil and hammering the type

WHITE HOUSE BROUGHT
 UP TO MODERN TIMES
Electric Motor to Drive Refrigerat- ing Plant Is Being In-
 stalled

Washington, Aug. 17 LP) - The history of the White House has been brought abreast of the history of refrigeration repairs and remodel ling operations which have been in progress since the President and Mrs. Coolidge left for their summer vacation now include the installa- ton of electric apparatus to replace artificial ice in the two year old ice box.
 When Washington, Adams and Jefferson occupied the first White House, before it was burned by the British in 1872, the perishable foods which were served to them were preserved in a cellar 20 feet in dia- meter and Is feet deep, packed with natural ice cut from the Potomac river during the winter. Then ice boxes constructed of crude lumber, merely caulked, were used until near the end of Lincoln's first adminis- tration, when an affair of two com- partments, insulated with granulat- ed cork and charcoal, was installed.
 This box and those which suc- ceeded it were chilled with natural ice until the first year of the current century, but since then artificial ice has been used. Now, this gives way to the electric motor, copper filmed cooling coils and compressors.

MUSSOLINI VACATIONING
Spending Most of His Time Enjoy
 ing Sailboat Cruising

Riccione, Italy, Aug. 17 Ip - Premier Mussolini has solved the problem of how to escape the at- tentions of admirers by spending most of his vacation with his family here aboard a sailboat off the coast.
 Bareheaded and dressed in the white of a yachtsman, the premier has been the most carefrec member of his party which includes his wife, his daughter Edda, and his son and several friends.
 The premier entered Riccoine by automobile under the strictest in cognito allowing a huge crowd at the railway station to cheer vocifer- ously at his empty special train. He also waited until long after dark in order to make a motor tour of the countryside without being seen.
