 Great Teams
 With wider range, both in time and geography, for selection of personnel than has been given any other all-star post-college eleven, Coaches Howard Harding Jones and Dick Hanley were confident they have corralled the nearest thing to a pair of actual, playing all-America teams that has been seen in modern football history.
 Altogether, 40 players from 25 different schols were on the two star studded rosters. In addition to eight Big Ten schools there were represented on Coach Han leys squad Army, Notre Dame, Marquette, Haskell Institute, Tex as Christian, Tulane, Nebraska, and Millikin.
 West Team Powerful
 Coach Jones, had, besides nine of his own University of Southern California stalwarts, outstanding individuals from eight other Pa- cific Coast and Far West Insti- tutions.
 East vs. West, wingbacks vs. whirlpools, passes vs. power-these were some of the "opposites" colliding in this contest, designed largely as a Century of Progress unit to expound the country's most typical collegiate athletic show.

Identification is beyond dispute. We

The machine gun in Bailey's pos

the bullets taken from the bodies
of the slain men and their automo-
biles.
"The shooting OF Frank Nash,
the prisoner, seems to have been
esta blished as altogether accident
al" said the official. "Our in
formation Is that Bailey and his as
sociates were there to rescue Nash
and not to kill him."
Local officers guarded the county
Jail closely to-day and planned to
take unusual precautions when
Bailey is removed to prevent a
possible similar attempt in his be-
half.
Bailey had some of the marked
bills paid in the ransom in his
possession when arrested. Finger

Summer House"Atice No.
The Wheels OF Government Revolve
Smoothly At ''Summer White House

In one Of the two other ofiices
OF the headquarters building here
are the special telegraph wires In
terconnecting the gcatter
branches Of government. President
over them is q veteran rather FAM
GUS among newspaper folk--"Doc"
| Smithers, chief telegraph operator
Of the white House. He went to
the Job during the Mckinley adj
ministration and has served every
president since. For 36 years i'm
portant secrets have been clicked
into his ears. and Notwithstanding
decisions have been transmitted by
his tchattering key. Doc remembers
being tremendously excited by
news of the sinking of the Maine,
but the World war didn't feaze
him. He is the man who hooks up
the famous gold key by which
presidents initiate such projects as
the worlds fair and the Golden
Gate bridge.
Reigns at the Switchboard
Next door to Doc is another
member of the White House staff
Miss Louise Hackmeister, who
prefers being called Hack" She's
chief of the switchboard at the
EXECUTIVE OiLlICb AA tAO C6RAt0bs ASN-
fore that she managed telephone
Chicago convention, and at nation
al headquarters in New York dur
| ing the campaigns. Her present
switchboard has wires to Washing
ton, New York, the Hyde Park
mansion, the Val Kill cottage
where the president goes picnick-
!. ing and swimming, and headquar-
tiers of the White House secret
service.
She says the president has the
best telephone enunciatiop she
ever heard; he never shouts or
runs his words together. He often
picks up his phone and puts In q
call himself instead Of having
secretary do it. And he seldom
carries on long conversations. The
switchboard is open from $3.50 in
the morning until midnight, and
Miss Hackmeister has an assistant
whose name, appropriately enough,
Is Miss Zones.
A heavy guard is maintained
over the president and his family,
of course, but it is not much in
evidence to the outsider. The force
of state troopers has been dou-
bled.
DOGGY Protectors
Two staunch guardians. Of the
night are Major, the Roosevelts'
German shepherd dog, and Meg.
the First Lady's little black Scot
tie. Major is pretty short-tempered
these hot days. Meg Is getting
fat, and is domineering as a dow
ager.
In the Hudson river, distantly
visible from the summer White
House, is another protective arm
of the government. The war de-
partment has assigned two small
patrol boats to cruise there.
