NeuD Members Of Cabinet VIII Add Little
TO Glamour OF Society In Capital
Sons and Daughters Are
Married and Anchored
in Various Places

in Various Places
The additions to the Cabi-
net will evidently not bring
much stimulation to Wash
ington society.
The newly appointed Secre-
tary Of Commerce, William
r, Whiting, has q daughter,
but she is married and estab-
lished in Springfield, Mass,
and there are three sons
all grown-but they are at
filiated with the Whiting
Paper Company and their
business, naturally, gives
them an anchor in the Bay
State. !
The daughter is Mrs. Neil
Chaplin. And the sons are
William, Edward G., and
Fairfield.
7 Little Impression
The existence Of Mrs. Whiting
has not been confirmed here.
There are no people In town
Just now who are authorities on
the Whiting family. And despite
The cIoseness Of the Commerce
appointee to President Coolidge,
he seems to have made little ili-
preston on the general run who

OF course, he must have been
q guest at the White House DUR
ing the Coolidge Administration.
And if there Is 4 Mrs. Whiting
she also must have been there,
but nobody now here seems TO
remember anything about them.
The Whiting family is among
the close friends Of Representa-
tive Allen Treadway OF Massa-
chusetts.
The description Of Mr.. Whit.
ing suggests the appearances OF
Senator Hiram Bingham OF COZ.
necticut--one Of the handsoness
men in the Senate.
He is described as tail, slender,
white. haired man Of Is, whose
youthful aspect bellies the number
Of years checked up on his ledger.
Interior Chief
Then there is the successor OF
DR.. Hubert Work in the Interior
nepartment-Roy o. West-whose
wife is reported to be not well
enough perhaps to come to Wash.
ington and to participate in the
demands Of the social round.
Mr.. West has been twice mar.
ried and there are two children.
The son, Owen Augustus West, is
associated with his father in the
practfce OF law, and viii probably

There is q daughter married to
LIE Grand Cannon, of Chicago. So

His voice faltered when he was asked to identi- 1y as his wife's. a wrist watch pre- sented in evidence by the state. He identified in turn blood-stained dress and short chinchilla coat as his "ife's property. A large photogra ph of his wife. he tremblingly marked as one taken about the time they were married or in 1921 or 1922.
 Quarreled With Ways
 The Gaudets and the Ways quar- reled during the winter of 1926, the witness said. Asked what the quar- rel was over, Gaudet said that the Ways were too curious about where the Gaudets went and what they did and he (GaudeD called up Way and said 1t would be best if the families saw less of each other.
 However. the Gaudets met the Ways at the Guilfoyle's apartment on at least one occasion after that and once stopped at the Gaudets' home in New Haven while returning from Sayin Rock.
 While at 9 New Years party in 1927 Way slapped Mrs Way in the face, Gaudet said. and both he and Dr. Guilfoyle resented it. That how. ever, was not the cause of the cold ress between the Ways and Gaudets, he declared, After Gaudet had 1in- lshed his testimony court recessed until 2 p. m.

 information which Mr. Bridgeman
 promised to give as on as the com
 mons reopened after the Easter holidays.
 The British press was somewhat
 divided in its opinion on the sen- tences against the two officers, some
 of them contending that it meant shutting the door to subordinate Of. ] ticers with complaints against their I'superiors. while others held that the enforcement of naval discipline
 made it necessary that such con- troverSies be prevented.

 Subsequent testimony at court martial held at Gibraltar revealed that Commander Daniel had written a letter complaining against the ac- tions Of the rear admiral and read this letter in the ward room of the battleship. Captain Dewar accepted this letter and forwarded it to Vice. Admiral Sir Roger Reyes. The three officers finally were suspended from duty and Captain Dewar> and Com mander Daniel requested a court martial.
 e The charges against them were actions subversive of naval discipline for their share in the controversy. Both were found guilty, severely.

Insurance Department of the Chamber of Com meree of the United States in conducting a na- tion-wide program of fire prevention among cham bers of commerce and trade associations
 There many ways in which citizens can cooperate with the Fire Department Motorists can do their share by refraining from following apparatus to fires. This is dangerous practice which has resulted in number of deaths and serious injuries and in addition has often delayed trucks in reaching the scene of the fire Busi- ness men may be of assistance by cooperating with members of the Fire Department who visit their establishments to make inspections. Any citizen noting fire hazard such as an accumu- lation of rubbish eombustible material would be helping the Department if he would report this condition. The Chief could then take im- mediate steps to remove the danger.
 Always remember the fremen must have the support of all citizens if fire losses are to be kept at minimum. An excellent fire de- partment not make fire prevention an actual ity unless the public is doing it's share. When fire prevention becomes a common practice in this community, the fire department will be able to spend less time in fire fighting and more in removing potential hazards.

Secretary Kellogg on Backbiting.
(New York Times. ]

The whispering campaign is being widely dis cussed. The attitude of candidates and voters toward the "whsperers" varies widely. Some feel that scurrlous attacks should be fought with their own fire; some that they should be ignored as unworthy of notice, and others that their effect can only be to enlist public sympathy on the side of the intended victim
 A story concerning Secretary Kelloggs posi- tion in the matter comes, circuitously, from the August number of French magazine, Lectures pour Tous. When himself a candidate for cleo uon, MT. Kellogg was urged to respond in kind to defamatory attacks. He replied to his advisers with this story:
 In a small village word went round that a mad dog running loose. Villagers took to their houses, frightened. A sudden tumult at a crossroads broke out when an old woman was bitten by stray dog. The dog was captured and proved to be mad.
 He is really mad?" asked the old woman
 Certainly"
 Then, l. too, shall go mad?"
 There is no doubt of it."
 ''Quick then pencil and bit of paper"
 You wish to make your last will and testa- ment?"
 No," said the old woman, sarcastieally mo indeed l want to make list of the people whom l ought to bite before I die"

WORK OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Fire Prevention Week calls tc mind the splen- did service which is being rendered by fire
 departments at all times, says the Insurance Department of the United States Chamber of Commerce Until a few years ago. the only duty of fire departments to extnguish fires after they had started. During the recent years, though. the scope of fire department work has been broadened to include fire prevention That is in recognition of the axiom that the easiest fire to put out is the one that has never started
 Our Fire Department is cooperating with others throughout the entire country in carrying on this department work. The Fire Chiefs own organization, the International Association of Fire Engineers is an active member of the National Fire Waste Council which is affiliated with the
