SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER
Washington, July 6. Secretary of
War Baker la one of the busiest men
In the whole world. No other secretary
of -war haa ever had so big a job. Stan
ton, the secretary under Lincoln, la his
closest rival. But the else of this war
makes It even a greater administrative
task than the Civil war.

' Somewhere la Washington
Kext mornlnr. at an unknown, meet
ing- place outside the State, War, and
Navy building, Mr. Baker .meets one
of his stenographers, and together they
plunge Into this sea of papers. In former
days they used to do this at an earlv
hour In ther secretary's office in the
War building. But soon It bca.m
known that the secretary could be found
In his private room at that time of day,
and his seclusion was Invaded. The only
way to achieve absolute concentration
was to arrange for - another place- of
loregamering "somewhere In Washlnr
ton," where telephones would not rln
and the knock of the brls-ht-anri-tAi-tv
visitor would not be heard upon the
ooor, : ,

had not alrady finished the equivalent
01 oay s worK.
A Stationary Engine
Unlike the president. Seeretarr R.v
does not begin his day with a round of
; g-olf or some other Variety . of exercise.
Some months ago, Walter Camp came
down to Washington with a mind full
of anxiety for the health of the cabinet
officers. He went around to Mr. Baker
and. tried to entice him into a class In
gymnastics. He explained the perils of
ill-health, and the patriotic duty of a
publlo, official to swing clubs and pull
t chest weights. Mr. Baker listened po
litely, but he was not enticed.
iX"Tv been a stationary engine for 47
ears,T he told Camp. "I don't think,
at this time of - life, you'll be able to
make a locomotive, out of me."
, From 10 until 1, the secretary is avail
able, for all hte regular appointments.
He makes it a rule- to. see" everyone who
,i has legitimate business, no matter Who
b mmy do. rracucany every day. he
receives delegations .from- all parts of
the country on scores of subjects. He
, listens courteously aad always impresses
people with his sincere interest in what
they have to say.. He uses the same
tone In talking wHbthe mother of a
private that he uses with an ambas
sador. In his conferences with the
newspaper men, which he holds daily,
he treats all the correspondents- alike,
' talkS with them franklv. 1 Intern tn th.tr
opinions, and tries to cooperate with
them in the Important work of telling
the people what is going on la military
Circles, both here and abroad.,
Congressmen Call la Morning
The first callers of the day are usually
congressmen, who come la' between 10
and 11:10. The. sessions on Capitol
. Hill convene at noon, and the senators
and representatives are obliged to be
"back In their respective halls at that
time. Following the legislators come
V the civilians a,nd business men In pri
vate life. Frequently there are so many
callers that It seems probable that some
, of them will have to be slighted. In
such cases the secretary comes out of
his private office, through the steno
graphic room. Into the outer reception
room, about U o'clock. There he finds
bis guests seated about on the brown
oaven ports that line the walls. He
makes a complete tour of the room, lis
tening to every , story, and giving to
each a succinct 9td Judicial answer. He
haa a rare faculty of thinking clearly
. unaer au circumstances. When he speaks
he selects his words, carefully shading
his meaning so as to say exactly what
he wants to say In the precise way
; ha wants it to be understood. He is
never ambiguous. People leave him with
a definite Idea of what he thinks about
the subject they have Just presented.
Works Under Pressure
; As soon' as possible after 1 the sec
, retary leaves his office and a machine
taken him home to luncheon with Mrs.
Baker and .the three youngstersBetty,
aged 12, Jack, aged 11; and Peggy, who
is years old. Luncheon is a very In
formal meal, and within 45 ' minutes
Mr. Baker is back at the war bulld

Saving Millions of Dollars
For Motorists
THIS is the answer to Insistent demand for "practical"
tires. Over 2,000,000 Diamond Tires and Tubes are
piling up "Better Than Average Mileage" for motorists of
America.
Diamonds cost Jess than motorists usually pay for
other tires.
Figuring lower initial cost and bigger mileage, we feel
safe in estimating an average saving for motorists who use
Diamonds between $2 and $5 per tire1
--Or a total saving betweeri $4,000,000 and $10,000,000
on tire equipment that must be credited to Diamonds this year.
IX by using first quality materials and infinite care in
' making our tires, and by marketing them at a' fair price, we
can save such a sum for motorists of America, we cannot but
feel that we are helping the nation in these strenuous times.
