CRASHING GATE AT
 WHITE HOUSE EASY
But It Is Decidedly Hard to See 1 President
BY ALLENE SUMNER (EEA Service Writer)

Washington. May 11.-A nsid er- able portion Of Americas 10000, 900 read the newspapers, and nearly every night most of them run across an item to the effect that Sir and Lady So-and-So were visitors at the White House today"
 The plain garden variety of Mfr. and Mrs. American who reads that the great ones have been to the White House thinks that 1t must be wonderful to be so famous and go to such nice places. And doubtless thinks. too. that he or she has just about as much chance of getting into the White House as into heaven these bibulous days.
 But its as easy to walk into the White House as to prance into a cash-and-carry store and come out with three bars o: soap and . can of beans.
 The tall iron gates to spacious grounds are unguarded. Nobody tries to stop you as you walk light in.
 Visitors Are Sorted
 The west wing is the secret. It is the office wing. containing Mir. Coolidge's office. It Is also a sort of receiving ward for the thousands of unassorted tourists and persons with a real or fancied mission who descend upon Washington yearly.

HAND MADE NAILS
 STILL IN MARKET
Are Used Especially for Making
 "0ld Furniture"

Worcester England. May II Op- Nails are still made by hand in parts of England. Some are turned out by order from manufacturers Of furniture after old patterns end others from various parts Of the world where special types Of hand wrought iron nails are required. A recent foreign order came from South America.
 The best known worker of this almost lost craft is Mrs. Nellie Bret tie, who lives at Lye. being assisted by a young niece who operates the hand bellows of the forge.
 It is calculated that there are less than 50 persons now living who were adept at this work when the making by hand of iron wrought nails was carried extensively in nearly every home at Lye and other villages in the Black Country dis trict. Most of them are too old 10 attempt to apply their trade today.
 Quite a number of families, how ever. have kept the little "smithy" where their fathers and mothers used to work at the forge, the anvil, furnace, hammers and chisels being kept as sort of curiosities. The ad- vent of machine methods had grad ually wrested nearly all the business away from them. But among the Black Country" folk. 1t Is said the hand wrought nail Is the hest in the world, especially for shoeing horses.

STELLAR SECRETS
 BEING LEARNED
Physicists Doing Much to Solve
 Problems

Washington. May II R - The secrets of the stars are becoming fewer and fewer as the astronomers, with exacting curioaity and con- stantly increasing resources. pry trelessly into the infinite field ol mystery which embraces them.
 Probably the greatest contribu- tions to tho equipment of astrono- mers in recent years have come out of the work Of physicists. whose primary interest lies in the struc- ture. behavior and primo mordal sources of light and matter.
 Much of the mystery of the nebulae. those vast. luminous clouds which hover millions and even bill lions of miles away and have pug zled astronomers for generations. has been cleared away by Dr. I. S. Bowen of the California Institute of Technology. He is closely asso- ciated with Dr. k. A. Millikan, dis eoverer of the electron and. more recently, the cosmic ray, which he has been able to account for as the energy released in the process of continuous creation of common ele- ments by the building up of heavier out of lighter atoms.
 Similarly, the discovery and analysis of the absorption effects of different substances on light, which produce the bands of spectrum. has provided the means employed by Dr. Walter S. Adams of the Mt. Wilson observatory at Pasadena, and Dr. Henry Norris Russell of Princeton, in their study of plane- tary atmospheres by comparing these lines.
 Use of a large and powerful spectroscope with the 100-inch tele- scope at Mt. Wilson. Dr. Russell explains. has made 1t feasible to photograph the spectra of the stars, numbering hundreds, sometimes thousands of lines, on larger scale and greater detail than pre-. viously was possible. As q result, 1t has been determined that, among the lines due to the absorption of light by iron vapor, for example. some are caused by the action of undisturbed atoms and others by atoms which are "excited" or load . cd with different amounts of energy.
 "The hotter the gas in the at- mosphere of star" he says. "the larger will be the proportion of these excited atoms and the stronger. or darker, the lines. By comparing the observed strength of several hundred lines of differ ent metals in the spectra Of the sun and stars, 1t is possible to find the temperature at the surface of the different stars. taking the sun as the standard"
 Photographs have been obtained by Dr. William Hammond Wright, of the Lick observatory, Nit. Ham, ilton. Calif.. with special plates and screens. using the Crossley reflector at Lick observatory and applying lights ranging from extreme red to ultraviolet. The penetrating red light brings out conspicuously the markings on the surface of a plan. ct, producing an image of the solid body itseh while the violet rays give picture of the outer part of

thinking they have business at the White House or with the preddent and who get ticketed and sorted in the west wing.
 Nine times out of ten the item about So-and-so who paid hts re- spects at the White House today" merely means that So-and-so was caught by cameramen and reporters as he entered the west wing do6r. He stated his name and errand to fourth or fifth secretary-perhaps got as far as Everett Saunders, the presidents own secretary-but didn't even get glimpse of the president.
 It means. though. that MT. So- and So has been to the White House, just as any Tom. Dick or Harriet of all-American do-and does-either by just walking in the west wing door or by visiting the famous East Room in the main building by pre- senting card from ones congress man. And there's the laugh. Said congressman have stacks Of these cards that they issue to tourists from the old home town. Anybody can walk right in-no card is needed but that fact is not generally known. Hence. the congressman issue White House cards. Votes!

come in truck. They have come
over the interstate highways leading
from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and
other winter wheat states where har-
vest Is finished, moving upwards
through Iowa and Nebraska into MIN
nesota and the Dakotas Taking turns
in driving, they cover several hundred
miles in "a hours. Having their own
vehicles, they are able to come direct
to the farms SO 1t is not necessary, for
the busy farmer to go and get them
or bring them back to town when
they are done.
Generally they are higher class
of workmen than the men who came
In with the way-freight a decade or
two ago. Many of them are young
men earning some money to help pay
their way through college. Others are
workers from industrial districts which
happen to have slack season Travel
ing in their own cars, they have more
self respect than they would have II
they had "bummed" their rides As
a class they are Woodworking, law
abiding men and usually are welcome
visitors in the farming communities.
And a goodly share of the money they
earn is spent right In the communi-
ties where they work.
While these travellers spread out over
the local roads when they reach places
where they start looking for work,
they make their long distance trips
over the trunk highways of Minnesota
and other states. If there were no
marked trunk routes, kept in reason
ably good condition for steady going.
1t would not be possible for this class
Of harvest labor to come to Minnesota
1T is just one more example of the
many indirect benefits which the state
trunk route system brings to the state,

.H|BB|NG WINS
BY CLOSE SCORE

Hibbing defeated Ely Sunday in an
interesting game, z to 6. Hibbing start
ed out with rush and caught Ely
mapping in the first inning and be-
fore Ely could settle down had scored
two runs Rossevear for Hibbing lead
off with base on balls, on attempt
ing to steal second some one for Ely
forgot to cover and the catchers per-
feet throw went to center field and
Rossevear went on to third. A wild
throw to third gave Hibbing the first
run. The next two men were easy
outs and then zgonc and Nord each
singled and zgonc scored ION another
error. Snider for Ely walked, Bill
Starkman hit into a double play. This
was followed by two neat singles that
went for naught.
In the third inning Anderson foI
Hibbing reached first on an error and
pulled up at second on this same error
He scored when Jacksons grounder
was muffed. This was three for Hib-
bling and none of them earned. In the
fifth inning Ely scored. Snider for Ely
singled and scored from first when Bill
Starkman hit nice two-bagger to left
center that almost got thru for g
home-run. r. Starkman singled and
Anthony's liner to center was turned
into q double play instead Of runs

when Grillo for Hibbing made Won
derful catch and throw to second.
Hibbing added one more in the sixth
when Nord singled, stole second, and
scored on Jerule's single. Manceso hit
liner to Bill Starkman at Third and
this was turned into a double play by
a nice throw to first, getting Jerule be-
fore he could slide back.
Ely tied the score at four each in
the seventh. E. Starkman was safe
on an error took second when Snider
drew base on balls. Bill Starkman
hunted and sacrificed these runners
| to second and third. A nice double

men. This was r. Starkman'S third
hit of the game Anthony singled
scoring r. Starkman. Ayala singled
and pitcher Jarvis was relieved by
Martinelli. Martinelli struck Hoefler
out ending the rally.
Hibbing came back with three In
the eighth when Anderson, Zgonc and
Nord singled in succession. The next
man popped out ard Jerule and Man
ceSO each singled and the three runs
crossed the plate making it just
enough to win the game. Ely came
back in their half of the eighth.
Jokinen drew a base on balls but was

hit to the shortstop. Snider who has
been leading the Ely club all season
came up and drove dandy away out
and beyond the left-center field for a
home run sending Starkman in ahead

mark for the season, and looks like
