"On This Spot Harry S. Truman
Made the First Crash Landing
Ever Made in a White House
Bathtub, Glider Type"
Had Harry kept his mouth shut,
let the building deteriorate and
bravely crashed through the floor
in his tub, it might have been far
from calamity so far as his for
tunes are concerned. People love
the dramatic these days. They
crave entertainment and action as
never before. There on the ground
floor in his second-floor bathtub
amid the rubble, his head unbowed,
he would have won a new grip on
the public. The picture might have
taken a place beside Washington
and the Delaware in water exploits.
We can imagine some painter
clarifying it with an oil entitled,
Truman Crossing the Dilapidated
Beams"
The accident would have given
the people new appreciation of
what president has to go through.
It would have kindled a mood of
warm sympathy and understanding.
What man has ever stepped into a
bathtub without at least a fleeing
fear of an accident? And how many
have known what it is to take a
tumble in one? Can you fancy their
feelings for a President who had
stepped into tub powl =.
gone down flight or two!
This Is an era Of rumor, Cos
sip and suspicion; the story
would have spread that the Re-
publicans had undermined the
timbers, and this would have in
creased pity for the President.
From coast to coast, across
mountains and valleys, over
brooks and rivers, from log
cabin to mansion the one cry
would have gone up: Flows
Harry?" The world would have
awaited breathlessly the hourly
bulletins from the White House:

CUISINE carrying the dancer and
four members of the notorious Scar
let Gang in evening clothes and top
hats, still stimulating drunken col
legians, singing to drown out the
cries of the distressed dancer.
In the Holland Tunnel the sing
song ceased and one of the gang
said to the girl:

chest should be of interest to
you. While the pattern offered be-

proximately 80" wide, AZ" long by
6" deep, it can be built to any
length required. One of the big
features of this chest, beside
ample storage facilities, is its
utilization of unused space. Be-

wooden wheels the chest can be
rolled under the bed, even over
rugs with very little effort. Its
capacity is truly amazing. Being
dustproof it provides an excellent
place to store your finest things.
