cred ,he breakfast tray into the Presi-
dents study, the meal was minus one
egg, one slice Of bacon, and one slice OF
toast.
Mac stood by waiting for some COM
ment or question from the President,
but there were none. Mr.. Roosevelt
enjoyed his meal and finished 1t in his
customary good humor and apparently
without noticing the curtailment. Mac
was delighted, but did not tell the Pres
ident what hei had done. He did tell
others of the official family, however
and probably the first the President will
know of his enforced diet is when he
reads it in the papers.
The President has had little time
since his return for swimming. Yes

structed automobile which he has pur-
chased to drive himself The President
is not expected to drive this automo-

will use it driving to and from hts pri-

Upon his return to the White House

shocked to find that he had gained
seven pounds. He announced with
some determination that he was going
to see to it at once that he returned to
his customary weight of ITS or 176

this by dieting and swimming.
Having so many other things to think
about, the President in the meantime
forgot all about his resolution. But the
faithful Mac did not. After looking on
for a couple of days and noting no signs
on the Presidents part of cutting down
on his meals he took it upon himself to

been sent by an official near the town
of Anadyr, but that he believed it was

delight when informed of Mattern's
safety by an earlier dispatch from Mos

The message was sent from the
town of Bocharova at II pm.
July S, and was received here in
mid-afternoon today.
No Details Reported.
The American flyers message
gave no details of his situation
and air force and official quarters
here were without any informa-
ton of him.
News of the American, who had
been unreported since he left
Khabarovsk, Siberia, June IA, was
received with jubilation in Soviet
aviation circles where it had been
believed that if the aviator had
been forced down on land he had
good chance of escaping alive
despite the fact that it would
take him a long time to communi-
cate with the outside world.
The fact that so much time elapsed
between his descent and dispatch of the
message indicated that he may have
come down at some distance from any
habitation, making it necessary for him
to find his way laboriously to the near
est village.

The business of separating the bad

IN their dormitories instead of being

normally put in their days work.
Maj. Brown directed all the police
activities in person. He had with him
Inspectors L. I. H. Edwards and B. A.

Fear that any riot developing might
prove incendiary brought Fire Chief
George S. Watson to the scene last

has never been used before, at Occo-

An uncanny quiet pervaded the Lor-
