PRESIDENTS KEEP SN GUARDIANS Secrel Service Men Outlust Other Gpummt Olicials Washington, Feb. 26 P—While the inauguration of a new president jnvariably is accompanied by nu- merous changes in the personnel of high government officialdom, there 1s one arm of the great federal ma. chine which is unaffected by the vicissitudes of pglitical fortune, That is the greup of alert young men in whose keeping is the per- sonal safety of ‘the president and his family—the White House secret service. Eapecially trained and se- lected for this great responsibility, the secret service agents watch over president after president, leaving usually only ag a matter of personal preference or in the very rare event that the chief executive asks that some particular agent be removed. There never is a moment, day or night, when they are not close by. When the president is at work in the executive offices, they are sta- tioned at the door. Should he leave his desk for a moment's stroll in the cérridor, one of them is at his elbow. When he seeks exercise in walking, they are just a pace be- hind. While he aleeps, the ever- vigilant secret service men are on guard at the door of his bedroom. On the infrequent occasions that a vacancy develops, W. H. Moran, chief of the United States secret service, looks over his army of fleld workers and selects the man to be assigned to the White House. Physi- cal condition, intelligence and a pearance are the deciding factors. At the White House, Richard L. Jervis is in direct supervision as- sisted by Col. E. W. Starling. Jervis has guarded five presidents, coming to Washington 22 years ago in the administration of President Roose- velt. Starling has been in the se- cret service 16 years and was as- signed to the White House during the Wilson administration after holding a field post at Birmingham, Ala, An important part of his dutles has been as advance man for presi- dential trips. When the chief execu- tive has planned a journey away from Washington, a week to a fort- night previous has found Starling on the scene of the visit, making ar- rangements for transportation, searching out quarters for members of the party and, above all, making plans for guarding the executive's safety. Starling is an expert on firearms and an enthusiastic hunter. It was he who introduced President Cool- idge to his recently cultivated hob- by of shooting. He interested him first of all in clay pigeon shooting during the president's vacation in Wisconsin last summer and later accompanied him on a hunt for quall in Virginia and was at the president's side when the latter hunted for pheasants, wild turkey and deer on the islands off the Georgia coast. One of Starling’s favorite stories has to do with one of the presiden- tial hunting trips. Always after the president fired, he cleaned the gun and personally inspected the weapon in order to avold any possible accl- dent. The president watched him while he “broke” the shotgun and care- fully squinted through the barrels. “Find & hole there, colonel?” the president asked. CHARLIE CHAPLIN ORDERED BY DOCTOR T0 TAKE REST Attack of Ptomaine Polsoning Forces OComodian to Halt Work on New Picture. Hollywood, Cal, Feb. 26 (UP)— Charlie Chaplin had a new director today—a doctor of medicine. In bed at his home here the fa- mous comedian willingly played the role of patient while Dr. Cecil Reyn- olds hovered nearby insisting that Chaplain remain in character until science can decide whether he shall be wheeled under the Klieg lights of an operating room. Chaplin collapsed late yesterday as he was starting to the studio to work on his new picture, “City Nights.” His iliness was diagnosed as ptomaine poisoning. Dr. Reynolds sald there was no eause for alarm over the actor's condition, but that it would be necessary for him to rest for a week before resuming work. It was uncertain at first whether Chaplin's iliness was due to an old appendix trouble, intestinal {nflu- enza or ptomaine poisoning, but Dr. Reynolds said after a diagnosis that poisoning was the cause. ‘When Chaplin was stricken it was feared that the appendix trouble had returned. The comedian has refused several times to undergo an operation for removal of his appen- dix, doctors sald. The extras working in the picture ‘were sent home when Chaplin could not appear at the studio and were told that thir return would be gov- erned by Chaplin’s health. They are paid only when they work. AVOID DIZZY SPELLS Never well. Always tired and fag- ged out. Beauty tossed away by neglect.

Beverly Hilla, Cal, Feb, 26 M— Physicians today gave Alma Rubens, acreen star, who for several months has been striving to cure herself of narcotic addiction, an “even chance for recovery.” After consultation at the home of Miss Rubens' mother, Mra. Theresa Rubens, the doctors said the screen star had been at the point of death several times during the past few days. Tt was revealed that, in the course of medical treatment designed to cure her of the drug habit, admin- istering of amall doses of narcotics had been terminated three days ago. ‘The reaction in her physical condi- tion followed. Only physiclans and members of her immediate family were alleded to see her. Her hus- band, Ricardo Cortez, also a film atar, was maid by members of the family ,to be at his wife's bedside conatantly. What effect the actress’ condition would have upon a federal inquiry into alleged narcotic peddling in Los Angeles, United States District Attorney Samuel McNab declined to state. A federal grand jury in- vestigation is due to start Friday. Federal agents had indicated that ‘Miss Rubens would be called as one of the government's important wit. nesses. A dozen subpoenas were re- ported to have been issued. The names of those summonsed were being kept secret. EVANGELINE BOOTH T0 RETURN TOMORROW American Salvation Army Leader Has Not Seen Her Brother, Deposed Comm.ander London, Feb. 26 (—Commander Evangeline Booth of the Salvation Army will depart for the United States tomorrow without having seen her brother, the deposed Gen- eral Bramwell Booth. The final two letters in a cutting correspondence between Miss Booth and the aged general's wife have been made public and reveal some- thing of the feellng between the two. The letter to Miss Booth con- cludes, 'or the time being at any rate, you have attained your end. Will you not leave him in peace?" Miss Booth wrote, “I have not ! once been told that Bramwell re. fuses to see me, whereas I have heard several times to the very con- trary.” Miss Booth was leader in the re- form movement which finally suc- ceeded in the deposition of the gen- COOLIDGE AXIONS LEFT T0 HISTORY Brief Pungent Remarks Retiring President’s Contribution Washington, Feb. 26 (P—Every president departing from the White House leaves, as a kind of memo- rial, some excerpts from his public addresses that serve to indicate the trend of his thoughts. There are many such expressionsy from the addresses of Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Wilson and other chief executives. . History has not yet made plain which of the axioms pronounced by Calvin Coolidge will be best remembered. Among some of his most striking sentences, however, are the follow- ing, taken from his addresses over a long period of years: “Men do not make laws. but discover them.” They do “Don’t hurry to legislate. Give| administration a chance to catch up with legislation.” “Work is not a curse; it is the prerogative of intelligence, the only means to manhood, and the meas- ure of civilization.” “Today it is not the battle fleet, but the merchant marine which in the end will determine the destiny of nations.” “Money will not purchase char- acter or good government.” “Good government cannot be found on the bargain counter.” “We need more of the office desk and less of the show window {n politics.” “The people who start to elect h man to get what he can for his dis- trict will probably find they have elected a man who will get what he can for himself.” “Laws do not make reforms; re- forms make laws.” “There will come out of govern- ment exactly what is put into it.” “What men worship they will be- come."” “Under our national government the states are the sheet-anchors of our institutions.” “Men show by what they worship what they are.” “The realities of life are not measured by dollars and cents.” “The humble walk hand in hand with Providence to immortality.” “The classic of all classics is the Bible.” Two Irish Republicans Arrested Near Dublin Dublin, Irish Free State, Feb. 26 (Z’—Patrick O'Donnell, editor of the Republican, official 8inn Fein organ, and John O'Neill of Dublin, were held today at Mosell after a meeting in which O'Donnell urged repudiation of any comprom in the traditional attitude of hostility to England. Thomas 8h ley, who &_.ed as secretary of the meeting, also was arrested. COLD gone befam mqht r you want quick action take -do.t—gmtwhnkublnw of Asper-Lax. You will feel bet- ter within ten minutes.
