4 Washington, March l6.-Ten time:
year the president of the United
States is dined by the members OF
his cabinet.
Thus sayeth the social law Of tn,
land. Thus it is and ever has been
Each cabinet secretary and lady
must slaughter the fatted calf fol
he Highest of the Land
And the calf must be slaughtered
not when they please but when the
date given them by the White
House.
Il Precedent is duly Observed of
course. in the order in which the
cabinet entertains the president and
1.-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 a time the cabinet hosts
had to invite all the rest of the
cabinet, too. which meant that the
president ate his caviar and terrapin
with the same group ten times year.
n But If worms can turn, so can
presidents. 1t was too much of a
-good thing and today the cabinet
most generally does not invite his
s colleagues of the cabinet.
~ story has 1t that once upon Il time,
and not so many presidents ago, a
cabinet secretary whose rank de-
mandcd that he sit at the president S
right discovered that the president
ssllkcd onion sandwiches. SO, with his
4 conversational topic discovered, he
RECALLED the presidential ear ten times
II a year at the ten cabinet dinners
with monolog on how he liked on
ions, too.
f And Rcd Flanncls
And someone else discovered that a
\ president once wore red flannel hcay-
les and SO did he, and they talked
about that
And finally things came to such a
pass that the president and his lady
refused point blank, whether the
x State Department yeaed or mayed it,
to cat ten times year with the same
people and the same conversational
subjects.
So the new order came
J. The ten cabinet families still
slaughter the fattcd calf for the
president. but they invite their own
guests and not the rest Of the cabinet
And the guests come from the far

this one night, so that they can tell
posterity of "the night we dincd with
I the president, and he said"
It's an Ordeal
Not all cabinet families are roll

arc ANY more accustomed to dining
presidents than the average small
town woman

Illumination AGAINST HOG
CHOLERA is ON INCREASE

Special reports made to the United
States Department of . Agriculture
from 80 States in which cooperative
hog-cholera work is being conduct
ed indicate an increased use of anti
hog-cholera serum as a protective
against hog cholera. Apparently,
the unusual prevalence of the dis
ease in the fall of 1926 did much to
impress farmers with the potential
danger of the malady and stimulat-
ed action in the adoption of pre-
ventive methods.
The spring crop of pigs received
extensive protection by the prevent
ive-serum treatment, the number
immunized ranging from 10 to rs
per cent of the entire production in
the 80 States, according to the re-
ports. There was also an increase
in the number of herds immunized.
These factors, no doubt, are largely
responsible for the sudden drop in
the death rate from cholera COM
pared with that of last year.
The reports also indicated at the
time they were submitted that, with
the exception of Arkansas, Mary
land, Michigan, North Carolina, and
Kentucky, the other States had suf-
fered no greater losses from cholera
this year than they had in 1924 and
1925, showing a sharp decline in the
disease from the destructive wave of
1926.
The department stresses the i'm
pOrtance and value of sanitary meas
ures in the raising of swine, not
only as an aid in the prevention of
hog cholera but in preventing other
diseases. 1t also calls attention to
the fact that cholera infection may
reach well-kept herds as well as
those in insanitary surroundings,
and if not immunized one will sue
cumb as quickly as the other. After

YOUR AUTO TIRES

Sunlight, oil, grease and heat are
the enemies of rubber. OF course it
is impossible to run an automobile
without contact with at least the
sunlight and the heat. However the
Bureau of Standards at Washington
has issued a circular on the proper
use and care of tires by motorists
and it contains recommended in
structions for the use and care of
automobile tires in general. Some
of these instructions are to keep
tires properly inflated, see that the
wheels are in correct alignment,
not to run "flat tire" farther than
necessary, wrap up spare tubes for
protection, avoid the use of rusty or
bent rims, apply tire chains loosely,
adjust brakes to operate evenly on
all wheels, cut loose sliVers from
solid or cushion tires, have cuts in
tires promptly repaired and drive
carefully avoiding bumps at high
speed.
Recommended loads and imitation
pressures for pneumatic and solid
tires are given in tables in the cir
cular which discusses the general
subject at some length with special
reference to the injurious effects of
overlooking and underinf1ation.
The circular mo. 341) presents
useful information on tires in gem
eral and points out certain precau-
tons necessary for long tire-wear
Brief reference is made to the es-
sential characteristics of fabric
tires, cord tires (high pressure and
balloon), inner tubes, cushion and
solid tires.
