'Swift's Premium is the most delicious of
all bacons!'' That's the verdict of American
families from coast to coast, far more
people buy Swift's Premium Bacon than buy
any other brand.
Whv is Swift's Premium so mild, so

heard-even though the Marines
were there to add q flavor of their

And it was no mere whim that
led Mr.. Roosevelt to set down his
desire to do duty with the Nays
big guns on the Western Front. For,
with the late Rear Admiral c. p.
Plunkett, who commanded the out
fit, he toured behind the lines and
saw the 14-inch guns in action.
These five giant United States naval
batteries, with special railway mount
and ammunition and auxiliary cars,
made the French railroad ofncials'
excitement mount higher when they
saw them rumbling over their COM
paratively light roadbeds and
bridges.
The naval battery crews used
dugouts, held gas and first-aid drill
and endured all the rigors of the
field. Capt. Garrett L. Schuyler,
U. s. NJ, who is now on duty in the
Bureau Of Ordnance at the Navy De-
partment, had an important part
overseas with the big naval guns that
aimed their fire at freight yards
and railway centers far behind the
German lines.

car equipped with special controls
which make 1t possible for him to
operate the vehicle.
The most conservative motorist
Of all was President Coolidge who
never was able to relax while rid
ing. He was regarded by the White
House chauheurs as being a ma
tural-born back-seat driver and
never allowed himself to be driven
faster than 16 miles an hour, no mat
ter how pressed he was for time.
Though he rarely uttered a sentence
Of more than three words to his
chauffeur, Coolidge had an annoy
ing habit of crisply calling the
drivers attention to every potential
hazard along the road and insisted
on the strictest adherence to all
traffic regulations.
An idiosyncrasy of Coolidge was
his steadfast refusal to allow anyone
in the car but himself and the
chauffeur, the only exceptions to this
rule being his wife and son.
For many years the Secret Service
has dictated, to a large extent, the
travelling Of Chief Executives. For
instance, they steadfastly refuse to
allow both the President and the
Vice President to ride in the same
automobile or even on the same
train. This is to prevent the pos
sibility Of losing the Nations two

Insight Into Problems.
For the future Chief Executive,
who stands today in such an histor-
ical place, had q training supreme
in the arts of peace-and war
when he was on the bridge Of the
Navy for some eight years.
An apostle of adequate national
defense In those earlier years, Mr..
Roosevelt has carried his doctrine
into these latter days. Docks and
navy yards were under his super
vision. He encouraged civilian re-
servists to cruise on warships and
assisted in rounding up yachts and
other small craft for submarine pa
troll duty. America was heading for
the maelstrom.
When the storm broke, Mr.. Roose-
velt was in the thick of it. He
fought for the Northern mine bar
rage, between Norway and Scotland,
to block the German U-boats out Of
Wilhelmshaven and Kiel, and won
his campaign, with the aid of pro-
gressive minds in the department.
Creation Of the submarine chaser
was largely credited to Mr.. Roose-
velt,s aggressiveness and the college
boys Of America wrote saga Of their
own, overseas, In these small craft.
Early In July, 1918, Mr. Roosevelt
went to Europe aboard the destroyer
q. q. 8. Dyer. The drst outpost
Evening star., 1939-10-15

which Mr.. Roosevelt expressed an
earnest desire to serve. But he saw
other aspects Of the war first hand.
He had an intimate acquaintance
with fighting men and equipment,
long before he went overseas. It is
related that when q submarine
disaster blackened the Nays an
mails, Mr.. Roosevelt himself, to
strengthen morale, went down in
one of the undersea craft to
illustrate his faith in these vessels.
He had made inspection trip after
inspection trip to various parts Of
the Nays establishment.
Mr.. Roosevelt aided in placing the
Republic on q war footing and took
a strong hand in making the Navy
ready.
A young State Senator from New
York, just 81 years old, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, came to the National
Capital to assume his post as assist
ant Secretary OF the Navy and
right-hand man Of Secretary of the
Navy Josephus Daniels, now United
States Ambassador to Mexico, in
1918.
During those grilling years, Mr..
Roosevelt had opportunity to see

highest officers in a single accident.
Also, 1t is the duty Of the Secret
Service to see that no car, travelling
in the same direction. passes the
Presidents on the road. The idea
Is to forestall any attempt which
might be made to take a pot-shot

alongside.
Liked Closed Cars.
Coolidge and Hoover were, in the
opinion of the Secret Service, ideal
Presidents from a motoring stand
point. But insisted that their drivers
keep well within the speed limit
and they also shared a preference
for closed cars+thus making them
difficult targets for sniper's bullets.
Mr.. Roosevelt's penchant for rid
ing in an open car with top and
windshield down is source Of
constant anxiety to his bodyguard.
His favorite place, while motoring,
is in the front seat beside the
driver-a democratic whim which
was likewise practiced at times by
Wilson.
The White House fleet increased
almost threefold when Hoover took
over the reins of the government.
During his administration the gar
age housed II cars; three for
secretaries, four limousines for
family use, one touring car for

with life belts handy-and all that.
Met British Leaders.
England came next on Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy Roosevelt's
tour and he met the leaders of the
Admiralty. With Sir Eric Geddes,
Mr.. Roosevelt went to inspect the
dockyards at Pembroke, Wales, and
aboard the destroyer U. s. s. KIM
berly sailed to Queenstown in the
south Of Ireland, where an Ameri-
can naval base was established.
Back in London, he had an audience

The upkeep Of the presidential
garage is q real item in the White
House budget. During the winter
II chauneurs are employed; in the
summer, usually about nine. The
head chaudeur-who always drives
the President-enjoys an impressive
title. Ofncially he is known as the
superintendent Of the White
House garage" His salary. paid by
the Government, as are all the 9TH
ers, is $3.50 a year. The assistants
receive smaller amounts scaling
down to $1,000. Uniforms set the
taxpayers back $4,000 yearly.
Costs 5000 Annually.
The cost Of maintaining the fleet
is about 5000 per annum, figured
on q conservative basis of 10000
miles for each car. This includes re-
pairs and overhauling, tires, bat
teries, etc., but not gasoline, oil and
other servicing estimated to cost
an additional $4,000. As only late
model cars are considered proper
transportation for the Nation 5
highest onice-holder. eight new
automobiles Of expensive make are
purchased every year. When all Is
added up, 1t amounts to quite tidy
sum which must be appropriated to
keep President in touring equip

Though Taft and Harding were
sometimes known to flirt with the
speed limit, our motoring Presidents
have generally been very careful to
observe the rules of the road. Ex-
cept when travelling on official busi-
ness, the President enjoys no spe-
cial privileges as a motorist. Con-
ceivably, Chief Executive may be
cited for trafnc violation like any
other citizen. Up to date, though,
none have received tags while in Of

lament this fact.

none can ever forget that York

thunder Of cannon and the rattle of
musketry, and that 1t was here the
British met the crushing defeat
which at last was to win the war for
the embattled patriots.
Tiny Yorktown's hour of supreme
glory was brief; but that hour was
to make the name Of the Virginia
village known to the ends of the
earth, and to be cherished by all
Americans as are few others.
To the strains of an old English
melody appropriately titled "The
World Turned Upside Down." the
British army marched out Of York

laid down its arms.

sedate pace and knew nothing what
ever about the mechanical part OF
automobiles.
Wilson Used Electric.
Wilson was he only President ever
to use an electric car. The second
Mrs. Wilson owned one before their
marriage and frequently took him
riding in it. The l6-mile-an-hour
maximum speed of the electric, to-
gether with its exceedingly short
cruising radius, was responsible for
the Wilson's finally deserting it for
a limousine in which the President
pondered the problems OF state while
riding slowly about Washington's
suburbs. Incidentally, the second
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, are the only First Ladies
to drive their own cars.
Wilson became so fond of his reg
ular jaunts in the White House
Limousine that he purchased the car
from the government when he re-
tired from Office and continued to
use 1t until his final illness.
A magnificent car, especially built
for him and with INTERCHANGEABLE
open and enclosed bodies, was pre-
sented to Wilson shortly after his
return to private life. Though deep
~ grateful for this elaborate token
OF friendship from those with whom
he had been associated the ailinq
ex-president rode in it but once.
preferring to take his outings in the
secondhand car he had used so
long.
With the induction of Harding into
Office, the White House garage was
augmented by the addition of an
other limousine and a conveyance
for the Presidents secretary. These
increased the fleet to five. Harding
also brought along his private car,
though he found little time to use
1t during the short time he was
in Office and Mrs. Harding took it
back. to Ohio with her after the
Presidents death.
Harding Drove.
Harding had one accomplishment
shared by only one other President
he could drive. The other excep-
ton is Franklin D. Roosevelt, who is
an expert driver. At his Hyde Park

northward to carry the glad tidings

With him rode messages that were
to bring tears Of Joy to every patriot.
In England these same messages
