1erenceS OF winston CQuTCQlu ana
President Roosevelt, the octoge-
marian recalled her meeting with the
famous general of Civil War days
when he was the President 10 years
ago.
Gen. Grant was q fne-looking
man." she said. "and so courteous.
I was about IA when I met him at
the Capitol and asked him for a
job"
Protocol Of Capital
Not So Rigid Then.
The Idea of an unknown young
girl presenting herself to the Presi-
dent of the United States to ask
casually for job made even Mrs.
Shires laugh as she recalled the
informanty Of Capital protocol IN
the days of her youth.
Girls we're beginning to get jobs
in the Treasury" she explained.
Il thought I would like to work
there so I went up to the Capitol,
hoping to meet some one who would

gentleman walking down the cor
ridor and asked who it was. When
was told it was President Grant, I
ran up to him and said, Gen. Grant
may I speak with you?'"
Mrs. Shires chuckled as she re-
called her audacity.
HE was very kind" she con-
tinued, land asked what he could
do for me. I told him I wanted a
Job In the Treasury and he told me
to go to the Secretary of the
Treasury and tell him to give me
a job"
Mrs. Shires explained how she
saw the Secretary of the Treasury,
who in turn gravely told her to
return to the President for letter.
Her desire for job was not full
filled, however. because her mother
heard of her intentions before she
had time to return to President
Grant.
"She scared me so by telling me
how presumptious I had been that
I never went back" Mrs. Shires
laughed.
Assassinations of Two
Presidents Recalled.
Mrs. Shires clearly recalls the as
sassinations of President Garfield
and President Mckinley.
II saw both of them lying in
state at the Capitol" she recalled.
I'm those days every one was per-
mitted entrance on such occasions"
Mrs. Shires told how in 1886 she
married Billy Golden Shires, a we'll
known vaudeville comedian, who
had composed Turkey in the
Straw" as we'll as another favorite
of the gay COS, Bye Bye, My Honey,
I'm Gone"
Billy never made a penny out
of Turkey in the Straw" she COM
mented, because In those days we
didn't know much about copyright
ing. But for 18 years he used the
song in a comedy act which was
very successful"
Known as the Goldens, Mrs.
Shires and her husband toured the
United States, the West Indies and
Canada with the famous prize
fighter, John L. Sullivan, who for
several years after retiring from
the ring amused audiences with
stage exhibitions of his boxing skill.
John L. Sullivan Called
Kind and Courteous.
I'VE knew John WELL" she said,
"and every one liked him. He was
always kind and courteous" she
added.
Kindness and tolerance are part
of Mrs. Shires' creed and charity
marks her conversation. She is
deeply religious and attributes an
optimistic nature and a continued
enjoyment of life to Q strong faith.
II have had my share Of troubles"
she declared, "but one should never
lose faith. could not i've without
religion"
Although The past has It's place
IN her memories, Mrs. efires does
not live for the daSs tnAk - oonA

A True Public Servant

PROBABLY there is no man in Detroit today more
i realistic in his conception of public service than
Police Commissioner Frank D. Eaman He is fine
lawyer. fine scholar, fine gentleman, weary
politician.
Through the long lean years when the Democratic
Party of Michigan was skeleton outfit he fought for its
policies with the rest of the last-dtchers They were
great party great strategsts great fighters for
presumably lost
When Franklin D. Roosevelt became President they
realized with of humorous dsmay that their type
of loyal party had been sdetracked by group of
new and strange opportunists.
Some of the old guard bolted from the Demo-
cratic Party which, to them not their party at ALL
Some of them dropped philosophcaly from public life
FRANK EAMAN did nothing spectacular. He shrugged
i off the msfortunes Of political and resumed his
highly productive law practice.
When he was called upon couple of years ago by
Mayor Jeffries head demoralzed police department
he might have sdestepped without the slightest fear of
criticism Reorganzing police force falling to pieces
from dspnity rddled in morale with charges of corrup
ton job from which most socalled public spirited
citizens would have SHE'D away.
Frank Eaman took it. He took it with his eyes open
and without any bombastic promises He took it simply
because he felt it his duty good Detroter.
TN TWO years he has revitaized the department. He
has revived its saggng morale. He has made again
a and good department.
His reward has BEEN
Nothing in a material way.
Nothing in political way.
Nothing but that inner satisfaction that good men
have when they the urgent call of their
ty and accomplish well difficult task
Frank Eaman has been patient and understanding
executive under trying conditions He has been dis
interested and highly capable public servant
Detroiters should remember him and if they do he'll
be surprised anybody about it. He was in his mind
merely doing job

Nothing New for France
Raided by Own Friends
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

WHILE il Is unfortunate that
W in the English lombard
ments of France many. French,
civilians who are secretly pray
ing for the triumph OF the
United Nations should be killed,
nevertheless il is nothing new
for France to be raided and
overrun and even to be bombed
by her own people.
In World War No. the French
repeatedly bombed French viii
lagos and munitions plants held
by the Germans.
Right after the Franco-Prus-
sian War French Communards
burned down a great part of
Paris-not to speak of the civil
wars when Frenchmen slaugh-
tered Frenchmen by the thou
sands, the French revolutions of
