Niasteen Presidents were lawyers, at the time they wore elected. Three are classified as statesmen; two as soldiers; two ax farmers; onc as a public ofi- clal.

Virginia leads in the mnativity of presidents. Eight of her sons, Wash- ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Willlam Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Wilson, have held the highest office in the gift of the mation.

The pa- per is called the “Far Seas.” ts price is five piasters, and it is credit- ably illustrated with half-tone cuts and comics. Although the men generally vote Constantinople rather a dull place, all things said, one of the recent num- bers of the “Far Seas” shows that the American bluejackets are able to pro- vide their own entertainment. Among the events recorded iy a Neptune party composed of members of the company of the Scorpion, which is described as “a regular pir- ate band running wild in the Bos- phorus.” It was headed by “King Neptune” and included *“Neptune's wife” and “Neptune’'s baby.”” The party visited a number of other ves- sels of the detachment and was en- tertained by Admiral de Bon, on board the French flagship Lorraine. Other activities which the paper describes were a visit of the sailors to the Near East hospital carrying gifts to the children, a “blowout” on board the Gilmer, whaleboat and dinghy races, baseball games, a box- ing bout and a camouflage ball at a Constantinople hotel, the latter at- tended by Admiral Bristol, command- er of the detachment, and Mrs. Bris- tol. Ships listed as composing the de- tachment were the Scorpion, St. Louis Chattanoogu, Barker, Borie, Fox, Gilmer, Humphries, John D. Ed- wards, Overton, Smith Thompson, Tracy, Whipple, submarine chasers 96 and 338, Alameda and the collier Mars. They were scattered from Con- stantinople to Smyrna, Batum, Var- na, Samsoun, Constanza and Beriut. One of the contributors to the “Far East,”” paid his tribute to the city of Constantinople by describing it as the “costliest, wickedest city in the world.” Since the armistice, he wrote, the city had been filled with the soldiers of all nations, spies, thieves, murderers, politicians, Rus- sian refugees, bolshevik agents and opium ecaters. “In spite of all this life in Con- stantinople is dull and there is little in the way of entertainment,” he add- ed. "If one is diligent a few good restaurants may be discovered but except for the moving picture houses, no first class theaters can be found. In fact at 10 o'clock in the evening the place is as quiet as Annapolis on Sunday. “However, inside the beer halls, cabarets and coffee houses, habitues of these places attempt a fallacious gajety. It is here that the bejewelled, richly adorned and painted women of the Occident and Orient brazenly stare at the motley throng drinking on sels of de- | a low quality of refreshment served them at robbers’ prices. “At the one good hotel, the spies of the whole Offent carry on their intrigues. The whole atmosphere of the city is one of feverish and artifi- cinl excitement. A real American, un- less he takes interest in and feels this atmosphere, finds life dull in this, the wickedest city of the world.” CITY ITEMS. Wallace Tleid at Palace tonighi— advt.

Pierce { tion, | Functions Under Harding Regime Washington, March 4.—Social and diplomatic Washinzton looks for a | revival under the President and Mrs. Harding of the formal state dinners and other social functions at the, White House which ceased with the entrance of the United States into the “World War. Directions from Mr. Harding for abandonment of the official social events incident to his inauguration were conceded by those hoping for a return to a social normalcy to be a blow to their expectations, hut the recent shopping trip made by Mrs. Harding to New York and other events have renewed their optimism. In preparation for the arrival of the new “First Lady of the Land,” the White House has been redecorat- ed and the furnishings renewed. In addition Mrs. Harding has requested that additional flowers be planted | around the White House. Her friends | expect her to act as hostess at a num- ber of garden parties during the spring, thereby restoring one of the favorite forms of entertainments of | former days. Likewise, it will entertain at teas, her guests in- cluding in addition to {ntimate friends the wives of the members of the diplomatic corps. Another social custom that she may revive is the regular weekly “at home” to wives! of cabinet members, a function in past administrations corresponding in time with the regular Tuesday cabi- net meetings. It also is reported that she will restore the custom of Marine Band concerts on the White | House grounds. I Whether the President and | Harding will revive the state dinners | remains to be developed. these usually are given each season, one to the cabinet, one to diplomatic corps, one to the judiciary and one to Congressional leaders. These dinners head the official social list issued by the State Department at the begin- ning of each social, season and it is regarded as assured that they will not be revived, at least, until next winter. Greater participation by the White House in society is expected to be at- tended by removal of many of the| restrictions which since 1917 have'! barred uninvited visitors from the | White House grounds. Since the United States entered the war visitors to the capital have had to content themselves with seeing the White House from a distance or from be- hind the iron fence surrounding the grounds. President Harding’s friends de- clare that orders for the opening of the gates to the grounds will be is- sued soon. Tt is nmot regarded as | probable, however, that certain por- tions of the White House, such as the Blue room and Red room, will be thrown open to the public on certain days as was the custom before the war. is expected that she KIDNAPPED, SAYS EDITOR Abducted on Ford Estate, Tle plains His “Disappeartnce.” Toronto, March 4.—Henry Potter, editor of the Philadelphia Hebrew paper, which has been attacking Henry Ford for alleged anti-Semitism and who recently reported mysteri- ously to have isappeared - while seeking to interview the manufac- turer, arrived at police headquarters here today with a story of having been kidnapped by three men on Mr. IFord’s estate near Detroit, To the police and newspaper men he said that on the night of Feb. 13 he visited the estate and was seized by the trio; that he was driven away in an automobile, and threatened with death; that he v taken across the border into Windsor, and that finally he escaped from his captors at West Toronto station.
