WHITE HOUSE EASY TO VISIT, BUHOT GAL Anyone Can Get Inside, But Secretaries Bar Way to President. BY ALLENE SUMNER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, May 11.—A considerable portion of America’s 110,000,000 read the newspapers, and nearly every night most of them run across an item to the effect that “Sir and Lady So-and-So were visitors at the White House today.” The plain garden variety of Mr. or Mrs. American who reads that the great ones have been to the White House thinks that it must be wonderful to be so famous and go to such nice places. Secretaries Barriers But It’s as easy to walk Into the White House as to prance into a cash-and-carry store and come out with three bars of soap and a can of beans. The west wing is the secret. It is the office wing, containing Mr. Goolidge's office. It is also a sort of receiving ward for the thousands of unassorted tourists and persons with a real or fancied mission who descended upon Washington yearly, thinking they have business at the White House or with the President and who get ticketed and sorted in the t west wing. Nine times out of ten the item about So-and-So ' “who paid his respects at the White House today” merely means that So-and-So was caught by the cameramen and reporters as he entered, the west wing door. He stated his name and errand to a fourth or fifth secretary—perhaps got as far as Everett Saunders, the President’s own secretary—but even didn’t get a glimpse of the President. Anybody Can Get In It means, though, that Mr. So-and-So has been to the White House, just as any Tom, Dick or Harriet can do—and does—either by just walking in the west wing door or by visiting the famous East Room in the main building by presenting a card from one’s congressman. • And there’s the laugh! Said Congressmen have stacks of these cards that they issue to tourists from the old home town. Anybody can walk right in—no card is needed—but the fact is not generally known. Hence, the Congressmen issue White House cards. Votes!

the United States Biological Survey. The introduction of an animal foreign to a region, he points out, may often lead to the extermination of a more valuable species with which it successfully competes for forage when there is insufficient food for both. Another serious danger is the possibility of the infection of native stock with new

animal diseases brought in by the introduced species. Many times efforts are wasted in attempting to acclimatize animals in places not suitable for them. The mule deer of the arid West, for instance, did not "take” in the more humid eastern States while some of the attempts to introduce the reindeer and elk south of their normal range have been doomed to failure. The maintenance of our game supply through better protection of our native animals, the Government sicentist explained, maye be a wiser policy than attempting to make new introduction except in the rare cases where ample knowledge of all the

conditions would seem to Justify such a procedure. FAMILY HAS OLD CROSS Worn Wooden Cruicifix Dates Back to 1466.
