White House Pofpourri

George Washington laid the
cornerstone for the Capitol,
but he did not attend the
cornerstone laying for the
White House on October IS,
1892. He was In Philadelph
then the Capital.
The White House has had
four titles. II first was called
the Presidents Palace" John
Adams called it the "Execu-
tive Mansion" Jackson termed
it the Presidents House" It
was called the "White House"
after being painted white to
cover up the scars left after
the British burned 1t in 1914.
Martin Van Buren, was the
first President born after the
Revolutionary War. Thus, he
was the first President not
born a British subject.
The funeral for President
william Henry Harrison in
184l was the first ever held
from the White House.
Mrs. James K. Polk, whose
husband was President from
l845 to l849, was one Of the
most conservative White
House miStreSseS. She pro-
hibited drinking and dancing
at all functions.

a SON commanded Confed-
crate army that did not
surrender until May, 1865. a
month after Lee quit.
Countless marriages have
been performed In the White
House. Before the Civil War.
when the public had easy
access to the mansion, 1t was
a frequent practice for cou-
pies to meet preachers at the
gates and be married In the
east room.
President Monroe used his
own furniture in the White
House because the mansions
furnishings were destroyed
when the British burned the
building. Congress paid him
$4,000 for the furniture, but
when his term expired, Mon
roe returned the money to
the Treasury and reclaimed
his furniture.
The site of the White House
apparently once was covered
with water. Soil borings Tor
the new foundations revealed
a layer Of beach sand and
beach stones some SO feet
down.
President woodrow Wilson
had two daughters married
in the White House, Jessie
Wilson and Francis Sayre IN
1918, and Eleanor Wilson and
William q. McAdoo In 1914.
Mr.. wilson's first wife died
in the White House In 1919,
but when he married Edith

EMPLOYEES

PITTSBURGH tPl-ItS a safe
bet the 1000 employees of t he
Fisher Scientific Co. here probably
know more about art than any
other one group of employees in the
country. The emplyes work amidst
priceless paintings daily as they
produce laboratory supplies.
Chester G. Fisher, founder and
director of the company, has one
of the most unusual art collections
in the world and he's got it on
daily exhibit for his workers.
Scattered through the seven-story
building are 300 original oil paint
ings and engravings dating from
the 18th Century to the present.
The art covers just one theme
the scientist at work. 1t starts
with the alchemist and covers 800
years of art, history and science.
Fisher has been collecting his art
treasures for 35 years.

Even Horses
Excuses

GOSHEN, N. Y. tR'-Every sport
has its excuses. Years ago in har-
ness racing the old-timers and
drivers thought up so many rapid
fire excuses that small book was
published listing each excuse by
number and telling when to use
each one.
A copy of this booklet Is the
property of the Hall of Fame OF
the Trotter here. 1t is called
"The Trottin' Hoss Excuse Book
and was compiled by Murray Howe
and published in 1927 by the new
defunct Horse Review of Chicago.
Even 25 years later most of the
excuses still can be heard around
harness tracks after losing effort.
For instance:
Too Highly Touted: Use this one
when you refuse $4,000 for HIM
the day before his race and can't
sell him for 5000 the day after 1T.
Forgot 1t Was Race Day: A pat
excuse when your boy bats the
horse with a pack of carrots, SIX
quarts of oats and two pals OF
water Just before his race.
Other Hangs Around Stable Too
Much: When the old gent insists
IN hitting his fingernails around
the stall door.
Threw A Shoe: Good even If he
lost it turning around after the
finish of a race.
He's An Unlucky Brute: Good
when he can't finish better than
second in a two horse race.
A Camera Man Shot Him: Al
ways good for the supersutous
whose horse has been shot Just
before a race.
Got Hurt IN The Car Coming
Over: Good when the horse dis
plays a skinned knee and a puff
over one eye. r.
Needs Another Race: Fits when
a fat horse fails to win.
Driver Got Dirt In His Eye:
Good when driver swears he saw
two Judges stands and couldn't
tell which was which.
Sulky Broke Down: Fair ex-
cuse when the driver weighs more
than the horse and both try to
ride in the same seat.
Number 130, the last i'm the
book, goes: Amt Got No Excuse.
But the book says use this at your
own peril. Everybody's expecting
an excuse so why not give'em one /?

Hill Ranger" Has Worn Shorts
Year Round Since Back In ,35

CHESAPEAKE, O. tP,-Norman
Parker figures he has as much
right to show his legs as women
have. So he's been wearing shorts
day in and day out-since 1895.
The shorts are a protest, says
the 45-year-old Parker, against
those darn Internal women who
show their legs"
The tall, raw-boned non-conform
ist lives in the hills back of this
Ohio River village with his 7S-year
old mother in a weather beaten
frame house.
People in the hill country around
Lawrence County have long been
accustomed to Parker-and the
shorts. A cold spell" finds him
donnin an overcoat, gloves and
a hat. But underneath it all, just
the shorts.
Parker, who says he hasn't done
a lick of work since he started
wearing shorts, tells of the time
the town marshal hauled him off
to Jail.
/ was cooped up for 108 hours"
he recalls. They had two doctors
peckin' on my knees and openin
my eyelids to see if / was nuts.
Then there was the time he
went to an open-air church meet
ing.
Three deacons told me to get
off the church property, for il be-
longed to them, not to God. So /
had to quit going to church and l
haven't been to one since"
But Parker says, IF it wasn't for
the strength | get from God, |
wouldn't have lasted II days, much
less IL years. I've been cussed,
threatened, beaten and called
everything but man.
His main hobby roaming the
hills for game and sh-takes care
of some of the food problems at
home. Three other sons help their
mother.
When he isn't hunting or fishing,
he goes calling on friends who
don't laugh" Parker says he may
give up wearing shorts when the
women do, but-"don't look like
they're going to, SO hain't neither.
