which in recent decades has
often been missing.
For the White House is,
after all, more like home
than the residence Of the
chief man In any othe- great
country in the world. Like
any other home, 1t has looked on birth and
DEATH grief and laughter, sickness and health,
happiness and misery through many genera
tons
And like the average home. 1t has almost al
ways had children about, children who could
come nearer to leading normal life than those
Of the first family of any other nation In the
world
As matter Of fact, there have been 10
children actually born in the White House.
The first White House child was James
Madison Randolph grandson Of Thomas Jeffer-
son. the third President. He was the son of
Jefferson's daughter, Martha. She moved into
the White House when her sister Maria died,
leaving the President sorrowful and depressed.
Jefferson's own wife had been dead long since
and 1t was these daughters, their children and
their friends who made life bearable for the
lonely President.
The next White House child was Mary
Louise Adams, granddaughter Of John Quincy
Adams. Her christening in the green room
was made a solemn function.

doubtedly see his efforts rewarded
as the guests begin to file in
Serenaded by Sidney himself and
his orchestra. There will be spe-
cial decorations, fayorS and SOU
venirS, and the guest list which
is steadily growing will probably
include, with the regular society
patrons of the Lounge, night club
owners and theatrical lights.
And on Friday, Mrs. Helen
Hamilton will throw open the
doors of her Russian Troika. This
lady impressario, the only one in
town, has been busy all summer
redecorating, painting and the
like. She has spared no efforts
in bringing to Washington the
finest in Russian talent. Several
have been here before and others
are entirely new to washington,
but nationally known.
First and foremost at least to
my way of thinking Is Ethel
Pastor, Tho charmed local So
cialites last winter, and only this
summer was featured on the st.
Moritz Roof in New York. In
support, or on a par as public
opinion will judge, is Karavaeff,
foremost Russian dancer in the
world, who was one of Ziegfeld'S
greatest stars. And, then, there
is Vladimir Diloff, basso; Valen-
tinova, Russian prima donna;
Dena Larina, who is making her
eastern inaugural in Washington
and Johnny Blue, accordioniSt,
who will also play with SaScha
Bartnovsky and his orchestra.
But saying anything about the
Troika without mentioning Alex,
the chef, and George, the head
waiter, would be out of order. Yes,
these two personalities are back
again at the Connecticut Avenue
spot and that means the best food
and the best service.
The Willard Hotel, which has
long been known as an entertain
ment center will offer, starting
today, at IL noon, an intimate
cocktail lounge. This new room,
which was decorated by the we'll
known Constance Dillon Ripley,
of New York, is located on the F
Street side of the hotel.
Only the charm Of the room
and the excellent uQueurs will be
prevalent in this new spot. There
will be no music, which is bless
ing in a way as there are very
few places in town where you can
go and really be quiet and just
talk.

Imperial Valleys first big time pro
game.
Never before has such an as
semblage of former college and uni
verSity football stars been seen in

YANKEES PLAN
TO REIN FORCE
CLUB FOR 1896

CHICAGO. Dec. II. UP)-Offi-
cialS of the New York Yankees are
expected to announce a big player
deal during the major league base
ball meeting today.
Col. Jacob Rupert. brewer and
owner. must loosen his purse
strings or see his team wind up
below the Boston Red S0x and the
Detroit Tigers next year.
A week ago Rupert and Joe Nc
Carthey, manager of the Yankees,
announced they could win the flag
in 1886 with their present squad.
Two deals yesterday caused Z
radical change in their expecta-
tions.
Jimmy FoXx, first baseman, and
Johnny Marcum. pitcher, were sold
to the Red SoX by Philadelphia. Al
Simmons, erstwhile batting cham
pion OF the American league, was
sold to the Detroit Tigers by the
Chicago White SoX.
The transactions added so much
strength to the Boston and Detroit
clubs that Col. Rupert finally ad-
mitted he might be forced to spend
some cash in order to put his team
in next years race. Rupert was
willing to trade Ben Chapman. out
fielder. and Johnny Allen, q pitcher,
to Cleveland for Mel Harder, the
Indians Ace hurler.
Cleveland officials said: I'VE
won't trade but you can buy Har-
der if you put up enough money"
The Indians are more interested
i'm obtaining catcher than an out
fielder, so Manager Steve O'Neill
has concentrated his efforts on
that department. One rumor said
Cleveland and the Chicago White
Sox had a deal coming up, but
there was no confirmation.
The way for trades in the Nation
al league was opened when Bob
Quinn was awarded the franchise
for the Boston Braves. Backed up by
a syndicate of business men, Quinn
will run the Braves next year with
a view toward pulling them out of
the red. His plan was given unani-
nous support by National league
executives with the stipulation that
Charles Francis Adams, former ma
jority stockholder in the club, would
have no connection with the team
Judge K. M. Lands frowned on
Adams because Of the latters race
horse connections.

SaltOn Sea May
Become Yacht
Center of sc.

With a view to making the south
shore of Salton Sea a yachting
center, a large group of El Centro
Junior chamber Of commerce men,
bers and boat owners visited Sandy
Beach Sunday. They reported that
the last mile of road which has
been graded, paralleling the shore
of Salton Sea, is going to give a
view of that body of water and the
eastern mountains which is des-
tined to become famous for the
beauty of this panorama.
Thanks to Il. NJ. Graham,
supervisor of road district No. 4,
and Graham Elmore, road fore
man of that district, a huge
caterpillar tractor is now working
on the last mile sector and max
ing a perfect, level, smooth and
straight road through the low
sand hills, emerging just opposite
the location of the judges stand
on the motor boat racing course
at Sandy Beach.
hard surfacing the last mile of road
will be commenced, with certain
ty that it will be finished on jan
uary 18th, one month later, in time
for the outboard Mid-Winter Reg
alta which will be held at Sandy
Beach this year instead of Lake
Elsinore. This racing classic will
be held under the auspices of the
Imperial Yacht Club and the
Southern California Outboard As
sociation of which the Imperial
organization is a member.
While at Santy Beach, this
group made plans for construct
ing a short pier and ramp or
runway fer launching boats. AS
soon as these improvements are
made, any boat owner in Imperial
Valley will be able to load his
boat On trailer, tow 1T to Sandy
Beach, and launch it unaided.
Few persons, said George Krue-
ger, secretary of the Brawley
Chamber Of Commerce, realize
what the completion of the road
to Sandy Beach is going to mean.
In effect, it mans that We have,
for all practical purposes, except
sport fishing, the ocean moved to
a point just twenty-five miles from
BraWley and forty miles from FL
Centro. Our people will commence
to use this beach at Salton Sea
just as they would the ocean. There
will be swimming and boating bath
ing and wading, picnics on the
beach and the colored parasols SO
familiar at Catalina or Venice.
Henceforth, Salton Sea is going to
be a prime recreational place for
the people Of Imperial Valley, at
least for nine months of the year,
and those Supervisors and Road
Foremen, particularly Supervisors
/ Graham, Preble and Osborne; and
Road Foremen Elmore, Oakley and
| Oswalt; and Kenneth HickoX, WPA
Administrator here, will as time
goes on, be acclaimed by the people
of Imperial Valley for the effort
and energy they have put forth TO
have this road completed and
Sandy Beach made available to
/ Imperial Valley.
Sandy Beach and Salton Sea
are going, perhaps, TO be our great
] est assets here, Krueger added.

ROSE BOWL Is
SOLD OUT
NO POOLING!

PASADENA. Calf, Dec. Il. U.P)-
The football public of far-flung
sections of the United States sadly
came to the realization today that
Don Liebendorfer, publicity direc-
tor of Stanford, wasn't fooling when
he announced two days ago the 84,-
474 tickets to the Rose Bowl on New
Years day are gone.
Liebend0rfer meant what he
said-the S4,4s4 clients who will
see Stanford face Southern Meth
odist's undefeated football team
have been selected in much the
same manner that lucky numbers
are drawn in the Irish sweep
stakes.
Applications. accompanied by mo-
ney orders or checks, were mailed to
Rose Bowl headquarters. The first
in were the first opened The early
birds got the tickets-a certain
small number in an effort to pre-
vent scalping.
Preference went to Stanford
alumni and residents of Texas to
the extent that certain large
blocks of ducats were set aside for
them. 1t was indicated, however,
that even Stanfordites and Cali
fornia a-transplanted Texans found
themselves out in the cold.
AT a pre-game rally held last
night at the Los Angeles Biltmore
hotel, frank speaking Texans were
heard to lament in no uncertain
language that it was an outrage so
many of their clan will be unable to
see vivacious Betty Bailey, the fancy
stepping S. M. U. coed, march into
the Bowl at the head of the famous
Mustang band.
Partially TO soothe their feelings,
the Texans will hold big pep meet
ing called the Mustang Stampede
before the game-probably on De-
cember %.
Betty Bailey will be there with
her band unless a movie talent
scout catches her and takes her
away to Hollywood. Also there
will be Bobby Wilson, who dates"
Betty at campus functions and
plays an All-American halfback
job for the Mustangs. Bobby, Bet
ty, the football team will hear a
speech by Rev. X. p. Fighting
Bob Shuler, ana songs by John
Boles, movie star, both from the
soil of Texas.
Liebendorfer, the goat" of irate
ticket customers, was reported plan
