CUPID KEEPS SHACKS
ON Il. S. RESERVATIONS

FIT. LEAVENWORTH. Kansas.
July S.-The little god known as
Cupid is standing in the way of
eradication of Fort Leavenworth' 3
war time cantonments.
During the World War nearly
two score of these long, rambling
shanties were thrown together in
few weeks alongside the beau
tiful fort and city highway on the
military reservation, to house the
hundreds of raw recruits sent
there.
When Laavenworth returned to
its normal population of about 30e
officers and few companies of
enlisted men, a generous com
mandant turned the cantonments
over to married enlisted men with
rank of sergeant or under, rent
free. The army makes no allow

The Maryland Executive as

CHAPTER VIII

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Ten
times a year the President of the
United States is dined by the mem
bers of his Cabinet.
Thus sayeth the social law of the
land. Thus it is and ever has been.
Each Cabinet secretary and lady
must slaughter the fatted calf for
the Highest of the Land.
And the calf must be slaughtered
not when they please, but when the
date is given them by the White
House.
Precedent . is duly observed, Of
course, in the order in which the
Cabinet entertains the President and
the First Lady. The dinners begin
with the Secretary. of State, of
course, and end with the Secretary
of Labor.
Those Onion Sandwiches
Once upon time the Cabinet
hosts had to invite all the rest of
the Cabinet, too, which meant that
the President ate his caviar and
terrapln with the same group ten
times q year.
But if worms can turn, so can
Presidents. 1t was too much Of a
good thing and today the Cabinet
host generally does not invite his
colleagues of the Cabinet.
Story has it that once upon a
time, and not so many Presidents
ago, a Cabinet secretary whose
rank demanded that he sit at the
Presidents right, discovered that
the President liked onion sand
witches. So, with his conversational
topic discovered, he RECALLED the
presidential ear ten times a year at

GIVING DINNER FOR
PRESIDENT AN ORDEAL
Mrs. Wilbur Even Had to Borrow TabecIoths and Silver
When She Entertans CooIidges.

/ the ten CABINET dinners With a mon
olog on how he liked onions, too.
And Red Flannels
| And someone else discovered that
a President once wore red flannel
heavies and so did he, and they
talked about that. M
! And finally things came to such
a pass that the President and his
lady refused point blank, whether
the State Department yeaed or
mayed it, to eat ten times year with
the same people and the same con-
versational subjects.
So the new order came.
The ten cabinet families still
slaughter the fatted calf for the
President, but they invite their own
guests and not the rest of the cabi-
net.
And the guests come from the
farthest corners of the nation for
just this one night, so that they can
tell posterity of ''the night we dined
with the President, and he said"
It's An Ordeal
| Not all cabinet families are rolling
in wealth. Not all cabinet wives are
any more accustomed to dining Pres
idents than the average small-town
woman.
It's an awful ordeal in many cases,
something to get over and trust to
the Lord that no terrible breaks"
will be made. ~

Washington rules will do the correct
thing" one cabinet wife told me.
The guests must be in the home
or hotel private dining room before
the president and Mrs. Coolidge.
They must be, standing, of course.
But had one guest WHO was
so awed when the president came
through the door that she forgot to
stand up" one harassed cabinet wife
told me.
Special Maid and Butler
An hired for the evening" maid
stands in the hallway to. take Mrs.
Coolidge's wraps and another "hired
for the evening" butler relieves the
president of his high hat.
A Washington caterer keeps on
his staff one handsome butler whose
one and only duty is to take the
Presidents coat and hat at private
home dinners.
When one reads the society papers
and sees the item 1.-THE President and
Mrs. Coolidge were entertained at
dinner last night by Secretary and
Mrs. Blank" one visions setting
of opulent splendor.
AS matter of fact, more than
one cabinet family in Washington
lives within it's income, saves, and
lives no more resplendantly than any
middle-class small-town family.
Wilburs Don't Splurge
And the necessary entertaining of
the president and Mrs. Coolidge
means much planning and scurry-
ing about for fine linen, crystal and
silver as it would on your Main
street.
Secretary Wilbur of the navy and
his wife, for instance, make no at
tempt W CoiiCSal Lille AdCI tildl lllSy
are just average middle-class citizens
who live simply.

tablecloths and silver and crystal
