To the people of the United States
there is only one White House. Not
that it is the only house painted
white, for it isn't. But the residence
of the President and the First Lady
of the Land" first called the execu-
tive mansion, has long since come to
be known everywhere as the White
House.
1t is at the White House that the
President maintains the executive
offices where he directs the opera
tons Of the Government. In his cam
paign for election, Mr.. Hoover prom
ised if called to this high office by
the people, to bring about a more
efficient operation of the Government.
In his inaugural address, he con-
firmed this promise and Immediately
upon assuming office, he began to full
fill his promises.
Among the first moves he made to
show that he was going to give
business-like administration was to
see that the White House was ade-
quately equipped with telephones. An
order was issued for the installation
of telephone on his personal desk
which was something no other Presi-
dent has had
Then it was brought to his atten-
ton that other desks in the executive
offices were not supplied with tele-
phones and he Immediately gave or
ders to remedy this condition. 1t
then developed that the telephone
private branch exchange system serv-
ing the White House was not of suffi-
Gent size to take care of the in
creased number of telephones.
Before new switchboard could be
installed, it was necessary to provide
a larger room in which to place the
new equipment. Since other Office
space was needed, the President gave
orders to excavate under the present
office building to provide another
floor which will be used for offices
and file rooms. 1t is in the new
space that the switchboard and asso-
ciated apparatus, the terminal frame
and storage battery equipment to
serve the White House and executive
Offices will be installed.
This new switchboard will be

equipped for eighty telephone lines
and forty trunks and tie lines to con-
meet with the main city central Of
fees and with other Government de-
partments. The present one-position
switchboard which now serves forty
three telephones is equipped for sixty
lines and twenty trunks and tie lines.
While the White House has had tele-
phone service for more than fifty
years, the first switchboard system
was not installed until 1901 and since
that time, except during the World
War period there have not been more
than eight or ten telephones con-
nected with it until the present ad-
ministration. Present indications
point to the fact that the telephone
will be called upon to play an i'm
portant part in the affairs of govern
ment under Mr.. Hoover, and the en-
gineers of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company are plan
ming to install equipment that will in
every way meet all of his require
ments.
Not only are telephone facilities
being provided for the President in
the White House, but since he has
signified his intention of spending his
vacation periods in certain sections
of Maryland and Virginia, special tele-
phone installations have been made
or are now under way at at least two
Of the recreation spots that he has
indicated will be used.
The first of these telephones to be
installed was at Catoctin Manor near
Thurmont, Maryland. The othe', a
fishing camp located on the headquar
tiers of the Rapidan River in Madison
county, Virginia, requires more prep
aration and the telephone company's
forces are now engaged in construct
ing a new pole line between Madison
and the Camp and in strengthening
an existing line between Madison and
Orange over which two copper cir.
cults are now being placed to connect
with the White House switchboard.
With these facilities there is no
question but that the President of the
United States will be able to keep in
touch by telephone with the affairs
Of government as he wishes.

1871 cars and trucks. April was
the second consecutive month dur
ing which Chevrolet set up a new
all-time monthly production mark,
March having been high with 147,-
273 units. The sensational April
achievement brings Chevrolet pro-
duction in the first four months up
to the record total of 511,837 units
as compared with 477,967 for the
corresponding period of 1928, a
gain of more than $4,000 units over
the best previous corresponding
period in the company's history.
The most significant feature of
Chevrolet's manufacturing perfor-
nance during the first four months
is the fact that during that limited
period Chevrolet built more six
cylinder cars than any other manu-
facturer has ever built in an entire
year. Co-incident with the an
nouncement of this latest Chevrolet
production achievement was the in
Gication that in response to the
greatest demand Chevrolet has ever
known, May will see another all

is one Of the few western citizens
who does not mourn the passing of
''the old days, the good old days,
the days of the Golden West" Holt,
having portrayed the hero roles in
a score of Zane Grey's dramas, as
filmed by Paramount, has come
closer to the West than most pers-
ons. In addition he has ranched,
ridden range and prospected and
knows that part of the world init
mately. There is no reason to
weep over the passing of the west
ern frontier" he declares. "There
will always be outposts of civiliza-
ton, new places to explore and set
tie. No one yet has lived to tell
the world about the country at the
headwaters of the Amazon. There
are still waste places in the far
north and in the far south upon
which no man has set foot. And

Wednesday and Thursday Not
since the filming of "The Birth of
a Nation" has such a galaxy of
screen players been assembled for
a picture as was brought together
for the filming of Metro -Goldwyn-
Mayors "The Trail of '9S". In
fact, it must be admitted that the
cast of the new picture is even
more important than the cast which
portrayed the characters of D. w.
Griffith's great film masterpiece, in
asmuch as the Griffith players have
become famous since then rather
than being famous at the time that
epic of the south was made. Di-
rector Clarence Brown has used
fifty well-known screen artists in
the portrayal of the characters in
Robert w. Services celebrated
story of the maddest gold rush the
world has ever known-the Klon-
dixie, in the declining years of the
nineteenth century. Ralph Forbes,
who has the leading male romantic
role, was an actor of note on the
London stage before coming to
America where he made his film
debut as the youngest brother in
"Beau Geste." Dolores Del Rio,
who has the featured feminine role,
is regarded as one of the best ar-
fists Of the screen.

sist largely of coal, iron ore, the
latter being unloaded from lake
vessels at the Ford docks on the

with numerous consignments of
materials used in smaller quanti-
ties, while the Rouge Plant sends
out for sale not only automobiles
and automobile parts, but also
coke, cement, scrap and various
other by-products saved through
manufacturing efficiency. Within
the Rouge factory enclosure are go
miles of railway, on which an av-

daily, including those used for in

signed to 80 other assembly plants

assembled at the Rouge Plant are
delivered to dealers under their
own power, as the plant assemblies
