of them at about 20 to l. but when Mr. Mcintyre
went into action at the windows he thought he knew
better and wagered otherwise But now the racing

theoretically, it would be possible for Journalist
to tear himself away from the exhausting routine
of headquarters hire boat or plane and go chas-
ing the President through the islands But that
would run up an enormous expense account and it
would hardly be worth the money to dig up the news
that once more Mr.. Roosevelt had caught no fish
today.
Furthermore it would be against the accepted
rules which hold that the President is entitled to
privacy for his rest and that the journalists should
keep their distance in Miami and be content with
such information Mr.. Mcintyre gives them.
Unlike most assignments in journalism, the ex-
petitions with the President when he is pleasure

pare them, of course, in accord
ance with the QUESTIONABLE they
send us. 1 suppose as time went
on, there we're more and more
facts of the kind they wanted and
it just naturally grew. I knew
some years ago it was the twelfth
longest, but suppose several of
the older ones have died off and
it leaves me in third place.
II don't know just what to say
about it. What is there to say?
What you're telling me is new, but
then it's been running for years
and years, and 1 revise it every
year and add whatever facts are
pertinent. I believe it has been
in for Is years. Yes, I have all

a friend of the expected sale of a
very fine brand of Virgin Island
rum by the Department of Inter
ior, RFC Chairman Jesse Jones
quipped: What's the name of the

pointed in the popular response to
its Baby Bond issue, the Treasury
has been quietly querying bankers
and business men on the desir-
ability of launching a selling drive
along the lines used during the
Liberty Loan campaigns.
EVIDENCE of the change in

regarding the World War is seen
in the wreath-laying ceremonies

three men who were called trait
