Former Presidents
Portraits i'm White
House Number %
Dolly Madison's Rescue
of Stuart's Washington
Is Recalled.

Portraits of the Presidents have been
made since the days of Washington, and
these official portraits are hung in the
White House, constituting one of the
most interesting and valuable collec-
tons of portrait paintings in the world.
The Stuart portrait painting of Wash
ington, the greatest of all portraits OF
the first President. was heroically saved
by Dolly Madison, wife Of President
James Madison. When she heard the
British were coming she climbed on a
mantel and cut the Stuart painting
from its frame. She hurried with 1t to
a farmhouse on the Tenleytown road,
so tradition relates. and there stayed in
hiding till the British had left the
Capital.
Until 1857, during Buchanan'S admin
istration, these portraits of the Presi-
dents were purchased unofficially. That
year Congress authorized commission
to purchase portraits of the Presidents
to be hung in the White House. Twen-
ty-two of these portraits hang in the
red. blue and green rooms.
In this Executives art gallery also
are some remarkable portraits of former
miStreSses of the White House. Con-
spicuouS among these is that of Mrs
Calvin Coolidge. who has been known
as probably the most gracious and viva
cious of all the FIRST Ladies'" The
portrait of Mrs Theodore Roosevelt was
presented to the United States by the
people of France. The portrait of Mrs.
Van Buren, shows her adorned with an
enormous plumed headdress and dis
playing a handkerchief of amazing pro-
portions. Mrs James K. Polk is de-
picted in a headdress of pink feathers.
Whenever the President is going to
make speech or send q message to
Congress he can send the manuscript to
the Government Printing ONCE, where
it is printed in rush time and as many

To be a smartly dressed dog owner
IN London one must have apparel to
match the color of ones pet. So say
fashion experts, and some women are
following the dictate. One fair en-

beautiful gray which matched to the
smallest detail the color of little dog
which trotted proudly by her side.

WOMEN TEMPERATE
NOT FOR PROHIBITION
rC0ntinaed from frn psgel

Temperance Union, which faVors
temperance through prohibition, was
not mentioned by name, leaders OF
the new movement intimated their
organization would oppose its pro-
gram.
"This is the first time that women
who favor temperance, but oppose
prohibition, have been articulate,
Mrs. Sabin said.
"The organization is a result OF
the demand from women all over the
country who realize the deplorable
effects of the prohibition law upon
their country and their children"
Mrs. Sabin made it plain that pub
lie officers who vote dry but drink
wet will be exposed by the organ1-
zation and vigorously opposed po-
litically. She said the temperance
society would "dabble little in pol
itics."
1--WE believe that the prohibition
law violates the fundamental princ1-
pie of our Government" Mrs. Sabin
said. 1--WE will be prepared to pre-
sent to the women of the country
our reasons for opposing National
prohibition, believing that when the
truth in regard to existing condi-
tions is more fully known among all
women, they will unite in requiring
such a change as will replace the
present corruption and hypocrisy
with sobriety and honesty. Every bit
of spare time I have for the rest OF
my life will be devoted to this
cause"
Mrs. Sabin was elected temporary
chairman Of the organization.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON CANNING BILL
rCsntinued from frst .paael

and condition or fill of the containeri
promulgated by the secretary OF ag-
griculture.
The bill authorizes the secretary
of agriculture to determine, establlsh
and promulgate, a reasonable stand
ard of quality, condition, or fill, for
each class of canned food as will, IN
his judgment, promote honesty and
fair dealing as the interest OF the
consumer may require.
The bill would also provide the
form of statement which must ap-
pear in a plain and conspicuous
manner on each package or label OF
canned food which falls below the
standard promulgated by him, and
which will indicate that such can
ned foods falls below such standard.
H. P. Cannon and Son, of Bridge
vile, in a letter to Senator Town
send, said that every Gamer in the
country was back of the bill, and is
urging its immediate passage. The
Delaware concern pointed out that
the pending bill will force more in
telligent labelling of canned food and
that is entirely for the good of the
consumer, enabling the buyer to
distinguish goods of low quality
when making purchases. :.
The Gamers believe the bill would
increase the demand for canned
foods and to the same extent IN
crease the demand of the Gamer for
more and higher grade farm pro-
ducts.
"The Gamers want action at this
session so that benefit of the Dill
would be given producers and can
ners this season." Senator Townsend
