In a way, the 200-ton houseboat is a sentimental monument to Greens' younger days, when his wealthy mother gave him the Texas and "Midland railroad. His home then was in Terrell, Tex. "We used to go over to Paris, Tex., and enjoy entertainments on boats on the Red river," said Col onel Green. "Sometimes, when we wanted a real big evening, we'd go to Shreveport, where the bigger boats docked."

Black and uniformed sleeves are pressed against each other. The scarlet coated marine band leader cranes his neck over the crowd. Every body is on the lookout. Sometimes when the crowd is great and the president is to as cend a stairway, instead of de scending, the orchestra leader has to stand on a chair or send a scout out ahead to know exactly when he must strike op: "Hail to the Chief." For the band always plays "Hail to the Chief" when the president appears. Shriller, higher grows the ba bel as the time nears. This is the high spot of the evening. Chiffons are beginning to wilt, curls to come out, but nobody cares. A glitter of gold braid in the doorway and the presidential aides in all their glory appear. The band swings into the proper rhythm. Then the president looking a bit tired, perhaps, but smiling enters. The line begins to form. It barely seems to move. "Seems to me I've been stand ing in this one spot for hours," says a little old lady in black and silver. At last the introduction. A sincere straight glance from the chief executive, a firm handclasp, perhaps a murmured "thank you" in answer to some congrat ulation or platitude. BE BELIEVED! x Oregon Sunday Morning, PLAGE HB BIRTH IS IHII1G WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) America's birthplace Is disap pearing, washing into the sea. The historic upper Up of Jamestown Island, site of the first permanent English colony in America, Is vanishing rapidly unr der waters of the restless James river. Foot by foot the shore line is giving way before ceaseless waves and the silent seeping of a stag nant marsh bog. Giant trees have been uprooted and swept out to sea. Already moves are nnder way in Virginia and In congress to preserve the Island. Representa tive Crampton of Michigan, chair man of the appropriations com mittee, is author of a bill to cre ate a national memorial embrac ing Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown. By this plan the federal govern ment would acquire that part of the isle not owned by the Associa tion for the Preservation of Vir ginia Antiquities. Virginia is supporting the fed eral project, while its general as sembly is considering a $100,400 appropriation to create a James town Island park. The island Is only a few miles from Williams burg, which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is restoring to its eighteenth century appearance. Years ago the antiquities asso ciation acquired the western tip of the island, constructed a sea wall and made efforts to prevent further destruction. In this section is the ancient church tower with its graveyard, and the foundations ot other old buildings. The site of the first landing place, the first" church, and the first town long since have been washed away. The rest of the island, except a small section, is marsh land. Peopled by eerie forms, gnarled and twisted trees and specter-like ruins, the island has an air of de sertion. Of the men and women who landed there in 1607, some died of hunger, some of plague, some at the hands of savages they displaced.

It is one thing to be certain that sausage is being diluted but quite another to be able to prove it, so meat inspectors of Portland appealed to the Oregon college veterinarians to run tests on cam ples of suspected food. "There is nothing particularly unwholesome about ground horse meat," explained Dr. B. T. Simms, bead of the veterinarians at the college who with G. M.
