EDITORIAL COMMENT AIERICAIZING THE WHITE HOUSE (The New York Times) Were it not for the well known good taste of various persons inter- ested in the suggestion that the White fl'ouse be refurnished in the "Colon- ial" style, it might be said that his- tory is r-epeating itself, and that now, as in 1817, objection is being made to so much foreign furniture in, the White House. To the critics tben a spokesman for the Chief Executive explained that everything possible was being made in America, but that numerous items had been bought in France because they could not be pro- cured in this country. Apparently the critcism today is because much of the work done in 1903, when the in- terior of the White House was remod- eled under the direction of the late Charles F. McKim, wa in the French E0mpire style, Those who would change this ask that the early Amer- ican style be used, and point to the American wing of the Metropolitan Museun% of Art as an example of what can and should be done. The new wing at the Museum has brought home clearly to the nation at large that we had adapted the Eng- lish and French decorative styes of the 18th century to our own purposes, and had evolved a style of our own of which we may be justly proud. Mr. Robert W. de Forest and others whose appreciation and generosity in- sured the success of this monument to early American taste deserve un- stinted praise. 11 is to be hoped that the new inspiration which they have given to study of native furnishings will stimulate a greater interest in what 4s best in our esthetic past. Al- ready the adaptations of Colonial houses and interiors are multiplying, and copies of some of the finest pieces in the Museum are being sold in large numbers to adorn private houses. The White House, however, is not, nor should it be, a museum. Its at- traction lies in the history within its walls, and in the associations of those who lived in it. It was never a monu- ment of Colonial architecture like Mount Vernon. As a matter of fact, it was not even completed until the Administration of President Jackson. When it was remodeled in 1903 the original plans of the architect, James Hoban, were carefully studied, and in so far as seemed advisable the restor- ation was in the spirit of the original "conception. It so happens that dur- ing the °decdes that the White House was being built the influence of French,Styles was great in this coun- try. Incidentally, the styles of the Empire period happened2 to be distin-. guished and t fit well into the set- ting of the White House. The sum now available for the work of renovation is too snall to make possible any such wholesale changes as the complete remodeling and refr- nishing of the White Hoirse. Those who sponsor the sweeping chage are prepared to solicit gifts .of pld furni- ture, but this does not make the plan altogether practical at present. iThe White House would be swampe with pieces. But it would be difficult to avoid making it look like a museum. The matter requires more thorough consideration. It is not as if some house like Mount Vernon, essentially Colonial in construction and setting, had been done over in the Frertch Em- pire style, and it were now proposed to restore it as it was originally. The White House was never a Colonial manor. This seems to have been, over- looked by those who advocate filling it with "period" pieces. OASTED ,. ILL ROLLS ELEMENTS OFF, CONTINUE FIRING And speaking of the elements, that reminds, us that the weather is com- ing into its own aain. Good old weather, without which, to quote somebody or other, 999 out of every 1,000 conversations would die in in- fancy. We dislike statistics, but that does hit it rather neatly, now doesn't it? And there's another thing about this weather. It make speople think just that much more kindly of winter. Personally we favor the idea of a nice vigorous blizzard about now. Something with a 60 mile north wind and lots of sleet and snow, with the thermometer around zero. But there never were any such things, you can't fool us. There couldn't be. * * * Summer School Excursions, No. 12345 Department of Geology Yesterday being our regular day for excursions (we don't know why that should be, or even if it is, but we'll let that pass) we went for a walk after' the dear kind lunch hour. Somehow we wended our way into, the Natural Science building, entering from the east side of the structure. First off we went down stairs, and as we passed a door labled: Prepar- ateur in Paleontology, we heard an earnest discussion within. Interest- ed to some extent, we shoved the door open and barged in. Two men stood at a table looking at a chunk of rock which lay before them. "But I insist, iny dear professor, that the thing is without doubt the third molar to the right in the sec- ondary upper jaw of the stecocephal- ian," saysone. Of course that isn't exactly what he said, but that's near enough, and besides, we can't re- member his real words. "You are mistaken, sir," says the other gent, "there is no doubt in .my mind but that it is the second joint of the left small finger of the diplodo- cus," That wasn't what he said, eith- er, but it will do just as well. Being unable to reach an agree- ment, they both turned suddenly upon us. We cringed, biut managed to stand our ground. They asked our opinion. "Well," says we, trying to think hard, "we may be- mistaken, but the thing looks to us like the thigh bone of a triceratops. After we had brushed off our cloth- es and put arnica on our wounds, we went up to look at the specimens in the museum. There we saw the thigh bone of a triceratops, and un- derstood. A little learning is a dan- :'gerous thing, thinks we, as we miff- ed on over to the palacial offices. Klaxon, the Son of Klaxon Through the deep fastness of the jungle, Klaxon, the son of Klaxon, stole noiselessly on moccasined feet. A strange new thrill pervaded his veins, and every once in a while he would bend back his magnificient neck, and through the quiet, rang his war-cry, terrible and frightful. Even Boomah, the lioness paused in a leap on Peewee, the fieldmouse, warily sniffing the air, the queen of the jungle even made to pause. All of a sudden Klaxon stopped in his tracks and sniffed the air. What was it? He crept silently forward, all his wood-lore being called into play by the mystery. He came to a glade in the forest and there, what do you think he saw? In the middle of the . clearing crouched.the Lady Mannering, and at her side sat Boomah, the lioness, waiting for a chance to spring at her fair throat. In an instant Klaxon had sized up the whole situation. Uttering his terrible war-cry, Klaxon sprang! Like an arrow from a bow Klaxon sprang! Boomah, with a low growl, which was as much as to say that you can have her if you want her, slunk into the jungle. Then, throwing back his head, Klaxon gave vent to his victory cry. The poor Lady of course didn't know whether this strange white God was friend or enemy. "Who are you?" she managed to gasp. "Lord Pendleton, marooned here in my infancy by sailors," Klaxon re- plied. "Thank God!" said the Lady. All was quiet in the jungle as Klax- on walked triumphantly back to his lair, with the Lady Mannering over his shoulder. Klaxon was in love! -Beeleub. * * * Chiefly piffle, but then-the weath- er's hot anyhow. -Tamam. take tion. your vaca- it will keep you in touch .withhome or business.
