WESTINGHOUSE
LETTER RL' I
AN o.
by RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer


WASHINGTON = A leading perl
odical widely circulated here in the
capital, asks:
"Are we governed by liarsT
That question cannot be answered
by eyes" or mo" with any due re-
gard for the proprieties in their
entirety
Certainly members of the cabinet
and most of their important sub
ordinates would deny, if they were
asked point blank, that they were
liars. Some of them might even be
sore about it.
But the best one can do who must
listen to them year in and year out
is to classify them, as fibbers. They
don't tell nasty things like lies
they just tell white lies, whoppers
and fibs.
And if you were to engage one of
these officials in frank, friendly,
off-the-record conversation he woulo
undoubtedly do much to Justify the
policy of prevarication which has
infiltrated itself into our system of
government.
Probably the present administra-
ton is no worse than the last or
the one OGlOIS' LII A0SI3 II may w
more moral, for those now in power
are very poor fibbers, and try as
they will to do good for the public
by kidding it, they become tripped
up in their earnest efforts and some.
times it is all very embarrassing.
Perhaps the next administration will
be able to fib much more gracefully
and plausibly.
Of course this beneficial practice
of fibbing fis most enthusiastically
resorted to when an official gets In
tight place. In naming few IN
stances, mo malice is intended, for
every correspondent in Washington
is reconciled to the situation, takes
it as a matter of course and realizes
| that the best way to confirm the
truth of anything here is to get
someone to refuse to deny 1t.
The various explanations of our
recent intervention in Nicaragua
furnished one demonstration. Be-
tween the White House and the
state department, half dozen diff
tercnt reasons were given in rapid
succession.
Rear Admiral Latimer got his
| cquivocal oar in when he asserted
ELS men were cOnIlnlnS lneHlSelNSS
solely to protection of foreign lives
and property and weren't taking
sides.
Secretary of state Kellogg denied
that the state department had In
6uced press association to carry
story about Mexico, whereupon
Paul Y. Anderson, a newspaperman.
yelled You're another!"
The White House help denied re-
Gently that presidential message
existed after the Coolidge disarma-
ment message already had been dis.
tributed abroad.
President Coolidge himself is not
to be accused, but the famous White
House spokesman has become tangled
up on several occasions. Such
leading journalistic trade journal as
! Editor and Publisher has often pro-
, tested creation of issues CT veracity
i between nevspapermen and the
spokesman.
And of course there have been
numerous other instances of fibbing
i'll high places.

BEAU GESTE" IS
FILMED UNDER
GOD OF LUCK

The God of luck smiled on Herbert
Brenon during the filming of his
Beau Geste," which will be presented
at the Grand next Saturday as a super
road show production, at 2:3O and S:15
only.
Once he was greeted with real
sandstorm, which he had contemplated
making with the assistance of wind
machines" and again he had real
piece of luck in photographing a
comedy sequence, although. it was not
known until the film was developed.
He had planned to inject relieving
bit of comedy into a scene where two
recruits "cuss out" sergeant of the
Foreign Legion, but never expected to
get one of the most perfect reproduc-
tions of lip-reading that ever happen
ed, accidently or otherwise.
When this scene is shown on the
screen. accompanied by a grONl on the
orchestra trombone, howls of spon-
taneous laughter ring through the
theatre. Not one of the, audience is
in doubt as to just what language the
recruit is using, and the recruit play
ed by Victor McLaglan, would probably
not have chosen his language along
such violent lines had he known the
camera would "catch" it so perfectly.
The travelling company carries with
it it's own symphony orchestra to
properly interpret the musical score.

MANS OLDEST
ENEMY STRIKES
down YOUTH, G
Six Year Old Son of Mr..
and Mrs. V. HI. Daniel
Dies of Snake Bite

William Thomas Daniel, aged SIX
years, only son of Mr.. and Mrs. V.
H. Daniel, of Silver Greek, is dead
as the result of rattlenake bite.
Late Thursday evening little Billie
was riding stick horse gayly through
the fields near his parents home.
few hours later he was dead, the
victim of mans oldest enemy, the
snake.
Mr. and Mrs Daniel were walking
across the fields Thursday evening
on their way to visit the sick daughter
of their neighoor, Porter Morris.
Their son was running ahead Of them
when suddenly he turned and ran
to his father, saying his foot was
hurt. According to the elder Daniel
the snake gave no warning but rat
tied after biting the boy. so that
the father knew his son had been
bitten when he heard the snake.
The snake was a large one, having
ten rattlers. The boy said that he
jumped over the. snake while galiop-
ing his stick horse
Upon inspection the father found
but one fang mark, which he cut
open at once and sucked the blood
from the wound. The snake was
killed and potassium ,permanganate
! in solution Of unknown strength
applied to the wound The boy was
then rushed to the Calumet and
Arizona hospital in this city.
Physicians in charge reported that
the boy was not in good condition
when he entered the hospital. His
pulse was very low from the time
he entered the hospital until he
died DR.. .Adamson said that the
snakes fang had probably entered a
small vein and, the poison carried
direct to the heart. 1t is also dctot-
full whether the free flownof blood
from the cut permitted any of the
solution of permangenate to enter the
bloodStream. This remedy is usually
given in crystal form and allowed TO
mingle with the blood, thus insuring
entry.
The bite was on the left foot, above
the line Of his low cut shoe. The
snake bit through the stocking. The
cut made by tho father was three
eighths of on inch in length and
penetrated a small ,vein allowing free
bleeding. stl'@>9
The lad was treated with an 11n-
lection of anti-venin, a recent de-
velopment in snake bite treatment.
After the serum had been absorbed
the two tourniquets applied to the
boys leg by. his father while giving
first aid were removed.
DR.. Adamson, who treated the little
fellow, commented upon his courage
and personality under treatment
The boy died at 2:3O Friday morn
ing.
Funeral Arrangements were in
charge of Porter and Anes.
The body left Friday evening on
number eight accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel for Mrs. Daniels old
home in Holdenville, Okla.

CHILDREN'S GARDEN TO HONOR AUTHOR
Will Be Memorial t Little Lord
 Faunler'y

New York, Dec. 2 Rl-Frances Hodgson Burnett, famous as the au- thor of Little Lort Fauntleroy," often quoted:
 When you have Garden
 You have a Future
 And when you haze a Future
 You are Alive."
 With these wordi she laid down the pen that had gEen to the world The Secret Gardel," 'The Shut tle," '"That Lass Lowries" and, best known to all, Little Lord Fauntleroy."
 The words are tle keynote Of the Children's Gardn designed for Central Park as memorial to the famous author. Mrs. Burnett was a garden-lover; wherever she dwelt she planted. The rose garden al, Maytham. England, the sea -eirt flower-beds of her Long Island home were as t.uly her creation as her stories. No fiction so enthralled her as floist's catalogue; no neighbor was nore congenial than the one who paused beneath the shade trees tc discuss herbaceous borders or tn. blue ways of del phinium; no guest so welcome as the robin nesing there.
 It has seemed, therefore, to the committee ir charge that no me- morial to Mrs. Burnett could pos sibly be as fitting as a Children's Garden. 4 site has been assigned by the Part Department, an oval plot of grond on a height at Sev- enty-seconi Street near Fifth Ave nue and ust beyond the little lake where children sail their boats.
 The plin has been developed for 8. garder planted with shrubs and hardy flowers, inclosing a bird bath ard fountain, and T story teller's bench from which tt'ks and stories on nature will be given.
 Charles Downing Lay, landscape architect, has drawn up q compre- hensi7e plan for the Garden. while the sculptor, Bessie Potter Eonnoh. has made a group In bronze of q blrd-bath and fountain.
 Many actors and writers, at one tim. associated with Mrs. Burnett in aer work as author and play wright, are interested and lending their aid 10 the project. Among them are Mary Rickford, whose film version of Little Lord Faunt- leroy" was so popular: Annie Rus sell Gin "A Lady of Quality"), Mrs.

PARTISAN INVENTS
 F0OL.PROOF ROUGE
Dlscoyerer Claims Great Things
 for His Product

Paris. Dec. 2. LP)-"Fool proof rouge that may be daubed on in large sobs without hurting the eyes of aesthetic observers is the newest Parisian contribution 10 woman's joy.
 It is ideal for beginners" says Lucicn Lelong. the discoverer. He gained fame by his theory Of the symphony of motion," which, boiled down, means designing dress es that hang well on a live woman walking instead of draping nicely on mannequin.
 There is q whole new "Color chord" on Lelong's palette. He has evolved a science of a philosophy of lip and face adornment that is described with all the elaborate imagery that lifts the commerce of rouge out of mere trade and ele- yates if into the heights Of art and poetry"
 Rouge, in this realm of manufac- tured beauty-in a-box, must be nice ly chosen by woman to harmonize with her age, figure, type, profile and costume" Rouge, also, is not put on' but is "worn."
 There are night rouees and day rouges. There are shades for hlonde with q straight nose and a brunette with short hair and a light gown. It is all quite compn- cated.
 The fool proof varieties are ''rouge de soir'' which "can rarely bo overused" and rose corail" for the "careless woman" for it is seldom obtrusivc even when ap- piled indiscriminatcly.
 There are more sophisticated" colors that must he "worn" artis- tically to avoid that hard artificial appearance"
