DANGER OF WHITE HOUSE ROOF

Madison. The north portico was &C M
pleted in 1919, and the south portico
was added in 1929.
Reconstruction Asked of Grant.
No further major structural changes
were made in the building until 1902.
when, in order to provide adequately
for the large numbers Of persons at
tending receptions and state dinners
and to give the President and his
family the privacy of home, a tenn
porary building was built for the
Executive Office.
This work comprises reconstruction
Of the East Terrace, renovation or the
basement, remodelling of the first
story, including the ceilings of the
east room and state dining room, con-
struction of servants quarters in the
attic and the erection of the Executive
Office Building at the end of the west
terrace to accommodate the off1ces pre-
viously in the White House. Neither
the appropriation nor the time avail
able was sufficient to permit Of making
any structural changes In the second
story or the roof.
The roof structure, supported by
wooden. trusses erected between 1878
and 1918, had been known for many
years to be in bad condition, the Of
ficer in charge of the building having
reported to President Grant as early
as 1873 that this was the case. At
tempts were made from time TO time
to strengthen the trusses, but nothing
could be done short of entire recon-
struction to make them safe. The
additions to the attic made in 1902
added materially to the direct load
on the roof trusses, and indications
Of failure became more evident.

TO BECOME AVlAT0RS
Department Will Seek to Induce
Seniors to Train for Fly

Efforts are to be made by the
Navy Department to induce senior
naval officers to become aviators.
The urgent need for this arises from
the fact that the law now requires
that all commanding officers OF air
craft carriers and tenders and or
naval air stations be qualified avi-
ators. -,
orders have been issued that all
line officers included in the Naval
Academy classes of 1897 to 1905, or

ADVERTISING THE TOWN

Plainville will go in for a big sign 10 advertise the town to pass ing motorists-those who are not tired of reading signs. More fuss has been made about this advertising sign in Plainville than most such signs ever get; 1t ought to be a first class sign and ought to bring first class returns.
 Plainville is worth advertising. New Britain looks upon its neigh bor with benevolent eyes and likes to see it get ahead. Its little prob lems are pretty much of the same sort as the problems in a bigger place, there being merely a differ ence in their size. Plainville has been growing, especially in commercial sense, and the skyline in the towns center is gradually changing, with new buildings ever and anon put up to greet the eyes of the traveller from New Britain.
 The town is well situated to grow. It is the junction point for two lines of railroads, although operated by the same company, and thus enjoys good shipping facilities; it has troll ley service in three directions; and it yields to scarcely any town of its size in the total of automobile traffic passing through it-and it also has its little problems incident thereto.
 A town so situated has possibili- ties, and it is gratifying to note that the men identified with the towns interests are showing acufnen and foresight.

ENJOYING THE BRIDE

It is not often that a wedding gets page one position. and under extra large headlines at that. The reason Bud Stillman and his 18-year- old bride get it Is due to the over whelming lure of romance-the story of q rich young man marrying a milk maid from the north woods.
 That young Stillman is deeply in love can be gathered from the re- ported endowment of half his for tune to his young bride. A youth who begins in that fashion is badly smitten. The more experienced men in his set do not take such methods of emphasizing their emotions; they wait until the dear one fights for alimony and then fight back.
 Love will have it's way, however, and it has a way all it's own. The first fling of youth in such a lottery is apt to be the real thing. Young Bud" is fortunate. We do not wish to be cheap cynics at such time. Let the universal hope be that the couple will live happily ever after ward.
