Dinner Service

• WASHINGTON—On one proud Evening, in those careless prewar days we've almost forgotten, I dined at the White House. About a hundred other people dined at the White House that evening. The gathering was in honor of the supreme court. It was a "state oc-

casion."

The very best china was being used. I think it was the new china Mrs. Roosevelt had selected for her husband’s regime at 1500 Penn-

sylvania avenue. It is the custom of all First Ladies, when they move into the executive mansion, to buy new china which thenceforth shall be laiown officially as the "Cleveland china,” "The Taft china,” and so on. Not only the best china but the extra special gold plate was shining that night on the rose-decorated

dining tables. The extra special gold plate was sitting about opulently and elegantly. And, I might as well add, temptingly. Indeed, several guests high placed in rank and swank, spoke to Mr. Roosevelt as they filed out of the dining room after dinner on the lure of

the White House gold plate to the souvenir hunter.

"I Imagine, Mr. President,’’ said one extremely be-ringed lady as she studied a gold after-dinner coffee spoon, "I imagine you lose

many of these lovely things.’’

"I'll say we do," replied the chief executive. "Oh, dear," said the guest. "How very sad! Dishonest servants, no

doubt."

"Servants? Not at all," replied the chief executive and laughed.

“Visiting firemen!”

This somewhat Involved Introduction brings me at last to the subject of today’s theme—why honest people steal. Statistics do prove that most of us are given to petty thievery. Most of us have Pet Steals which we justify on the flimsiest of grounds. Tourists are terrible stealers. They take the most absurd things from Washington public buildings. Reminders of “When I was in Washington," they call the odds and ends of junk which the reminders really are when they refuse to fit into the den back home. The Capitol has suffered from much sight-seeing marauding. Most any day someone when looking at the big gold and mahogany clock in the President's Room is likely to discover the clock is not keeping time. (This, however, has no relation to that fourth term.) The answer is simpler. Some acquisite connoisseur removed the hands of the clock when a guard's back was turned. A souvenir hunter once took the ear off the bust of Calvin Coolidge. Frequently tassels are nipped off draperies in the waiting rooms where members of Congress meet their constituents and the somewhat odd characters who dote on calling on lawmakers. Art galleries are inspiring spots for—shall we say?—collectors. It is necessary, for example, to tack down labels on canvases. Guards are constantly on watch. The Corcoran gallery has sometimes been too tempting to visitors. It has endured greatly from the charm of

the "Greek Slave.”

This famous marble sculpted by Hiram Powers stands with shackled hands—and, well, that's all in which she does stand. Tour-

ists have often coveted the links in those shackles.

Guards in 'Washington public buildings will tell you “people will snitch most anything that isn’t nailed down. You notice the Capitol has even its cuspidors nailed down.’’ Personally, I could bear up if

a few of these pretty things disappeared.

An amusing story of petty thievery was reported to me by a consul to a small and now unhappy nation. While the United States minister there was shaking hands with smiling callers in the legation

drawing room, another guest, a native son, was discovered passing small pieces of silver through Uie Iron grating supposed to protect the dining room of the legation, to a friend out on the sidewalk. Undoubtedly, simple honesty is a rare virtue. Louisa G. confessed to me yesterday that she always

selected the nicest apple in the green grocer's as soon as she entered the store and gnawed on it on her tour of the food bins. She said the fact that she always shined the apple on the sleeve of her coat and ate it openly made her think she was doing nothing wrong until the checker-up said to her, "Mrs. G., how much poundage In apples do you think you have eaten here during the last few years T’*

SOUT HBEND. Ind., Oct. 3.— (UP)—Jackie Cooper, former 1 film star now in the navy, was cleared today of charges that he contributed to the delinquency of two minor girls by buying them liquor and providing the hotel rooms where one of the

girls said she was seduced.

Referee Albert L. Doyle found

Cooper innocent in juvenile court.

Conviction would have made Cooper liable to a possible six monts imprisonment, a fine of $500, or both.

HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 3.—(UP) — Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton and her actor-husband, Cary Grant, today sought seclusion for an impromptu “honeymoon” after announcing a reconciliation from their seven weeks estrangement. Immediately after issuing the statement that they had reunited, the couple reparted for a few days’ vacation.

As American As A Man With His Newspaper

How frequently we have heard the exp ressions, “A boy and his dog," and "A sailor and his ship. Such ideas just go together because of constant associations, just like headlines on news stories. READING NEWSPAPERS is an old American custom dating back to the times of the American Weekly Mercury of Philadelphia and the initial publishing ventures of Benjamin Franklin, who started the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1739. Whether it be at the breakfast table ov er the coffee cup (another American tradition) or after the evening meal, the NEWSPAPER is one of the basic needs of the American family for children, adolescents, grown-ups and old folks. Newspapers are read day in and day out - week after week - so that every member of the family can follow the course of events at home and abroad. Americans, the best informed people of the World, lean heavily upon their newspapers for educational ideas, slants on living, and developments in industrial, domestic and farm economy. Progress in the field of business in the World's busiest Nation is charted daily in newspaper columns. What to eat, what to wear, where to shop, what to do in the leisure hours - all are questions answered. And when Americans took up arms to defeat totalitarianism - when G. I. Joe and mil!io n s of his brothers and sisters joined him in uniform -- many millions of newspapers went along to camps, training centers, and to front line positions. Second only to letters from loved ones, the newspapers have been an integral link with home . . . the breath of the America for w hich he is fighting ... the America to which he is returning .... where he will live, and love and grow old and where he will always have an opportunity to read his NEWSPAPER. The Daily Banner joins with the thousands of newspapers throughout the Nation in observance of National Newspaper W*eek -- October 1 to 8. The Daily Banner DAILY CIRCULATION OVER 4,300.

Why Not Try Aonnw Want-

The Line is Busy.

You don’t hear much about him .., Yet he is one of the heroes .., one of the real heroes ... of the war. When the front moves up, the Army Signal Corpsman is in there where the fighting's thickest... dodging machinegun slugs and mortar bursts ... stringing phone wires across the battered face of Europe ... keeping foxhole outposts in constant touch with headquarters behind the lines. And because of his quiet courage and cool-headed skill under fire, the Army’s lines of communication keep busy ... and keep going forward with every step our fighting men advance. It’s a job we of the railroads can appreciate and understand. For today our lines are busy, too ... busier than they have ever been befo s. And as Victory comes closer, they will be even busier... the job will grow even greater ... for men and guns and fighting supplies must keep flowing in an everswelling stream to all our fighting fronts.

It’s the biggest job the railroads of any \ nation have ever tackled. But we know now ... with the continued cooperation of shippers and receivers of freight and of the traveling public .. . it will be done... And we know, too, that—with final Victory at last in sight—the new skill* and knowledge that we have found in the urgency of war must quickly be turned to our next great task ... the job of helping speed industry’s conversion to production for peace ... And that this new-found strength will make it possible for the New York Central—side by side with all the other, railroads of the nation—to provide finer transportation for America than the world has ever known.
