l'a!FF 24,11: •
When a member of his secre-
tarial staff came to remind hire
Chet it wee time to set Out for
the Capitol, President of the
United States Grover Cleveland,
the strong man of the White
"louse, appeared not to have
heard,
It was as though he had fallen
into a trance.
"Mr. President, sir," the young
naan repeated, "it's time for you
to go to the Capitol, Congress
is by now already assembled,"
Only then did Grover Cleve-
land shake off his deep pre-
occupation, Slowly, and with un
characteristic lack of energy, he
got up, It was August and hot.
He asked for ice water, drank
it, and walked slowly from the
room,
Before him lay the ordeal of
Congress in which many influ-
ential leaders in his own, the
Democratic Party, were arrayed
to give battle against their lead-
er.
At that time, 1884, political
corruption was rife throughout
the United States. Before his
election as President, Grover
Cleveland had served as district
attorney and, later, as Mayor of
Buffalo, New York State, He had
made many enemies in both
capacities, for, wherever he un-
covered it, he attacked graft.
Now the issue before Congress
Was the Pendleton Bill. Like a
number of other bills already
passed, this measure was design-
ed to endow a large number of
men with claims on their politi-
cal party with life pensions.
When the bill came before
Congress, President Cleveland
described it as an attempt to
swindle the United States Tree-
bury.
Now he was about to face the
storm. But the impending battle
With Congress had no part as a
cause of the President's strange
and gloomy mood.
It had been nothing much at
first, that persistent ache of the
jaw. But it had become worse.
When President Cleveland
consulted his medical advisers he
was somewhat perturbed when a
number of the leading medical
men in the country were called
in for consultation.
The aching jaw, it was now
revealed to him, was a symptom
Of a very serious condition.
"Have I cancer?" he asked.
"It will be necessary, to save
your life to remove your jaw,"
they told him.
For Grover Cleveland the
smashing of the corrupt pensions
bill was a matter of paramount
Importance. Already threatened
by disloyalty in his own party,
he well knew that any hint of
sickness would be seized upon
with heartless unscrupulousness
for political purposes.
His political enemies would
put it about that he was unfit
to carry out the duties of Presi-
dent; physically incapable of
bearing the great weight of that
office's terrific responsibilities.
So new, driving toward the
Capitol, for the first round in
the battle, the President was
pondering his problems and
searching for some solution of it.
A great statesman—and Grover
Cleveland was that — must also
be a great strategist. Returning
10 the White House, he surprised
his staff by announcing that he
proposed to take a holiday.
"Mr. President! At a time like
this?" one man protested.
But the very announcement
suggested self - confidence and
directed the attention of the
Muntry away from any questien
of presidential illness.
Having let the announcement
of his forthcoming holiday be
made public, President Cleve-
land sent for his personal sur-
geon, and said: "Could you re-
move my jaw without scarring
my face? Could you operate so
that nobody totild detect: the
=tile time?"
yes, he was assured, that could
be done.
"But I would still have no jaw
on that side?" he prOtesten,
"We'll fix you up with a silver
jaw," he was assured. You. will
appear just as you appeared be-
fore."
It's not an easy thing for a
king or president to keep secret
such news as this.
The President could not be
operated on at the White House
without the whole staff getting
to know about it—and from them
the whole country.
He could not enter a hospital
for the same reason. Sooner or
later the news would leak out.
How then, was the terrible
secret to be kept? It was the
President who found the solu-
tion. "I shall take a cruise on
the presidential yacht," he an-
nounced,
This was a very fine vessel,
the Oneida, and in due course she
put to sea, ostensibly on a plea-
sure cruise. Only at the last
minute did the surgeons slip un-
annonced aboard. And only after
she had sailed was the state-
room rapidly converted into an
operating theatre,
When, some weeks later, the
President returned, it was mat-
ter of public comment how well
he looked with his fresh sea tan.
But those near him noticed a
certain difference, though they
had no clue as to the real cause,
It was noted then and , later
that, when he spoke in public,
his speech had become come-
what changed. The fine voice,
which had done so much to build
up for him a great law practice
in his earlier days, was now
softly muffled.
The silver jaw worked. There
was no facial scar. But speech
came with a certain difficulty
now.
And so, for fourteen years, this
amazingly courageous man lived
on, and during that long stretch
he served not once, but twice as
President of the United States.
It was not until after his
death, which occurred a few
months after he completed his
second term as President, that
the secret of his long sustained
fortitude became known.
And there also came to light
a second secret.
Throughout the long years
during which he carried the
great burden of the State upon
his broad shoulders the Presi-
dent had never known a single
day free from pain.
For though the silver jaw put
back the hour of fate, the terri-
ble disease which made its re-
moval essential at last claimed
its gallant victim.
It is significant of the amazing
power of the human will that it
was only when he felt that his
task was completed, and graft
was on the way out in his coun-
try's public life, that death ene
sued.
JUDGE OF CHARACTER
The school board of a back-
woods country school was pay-
ing a visit to the classroom, and
the teacher was showing off her
pupils.
"Who signed the Magna Char-
ta, Robert?" she asked one boy.
"Please, ma'am, it wasn't me,"
he said, edging back in his seat.
The teacher was about to pass
on to another pupil when an
Old tobacco - chewing board
member interrupted. "Call that
boy back," he directed, "I don't
like his looks. I believe he did
do it."

To. .Hang Man
On Christmas Eve, 1942, a Zab
mouth tobacconist named Bate,
man was fourermurdered behind
his counter with terrible head
and face injuries, On the counter
was an unloaded revolver- which
had been reported stolen from
a shop in the. previous February,.
A man, Gorden Trenoweth,
known to the police as given
acts of violence, was strongly
suspected,
The Cteci' police promptly visited
his home, where he lived with
his parents and sister, • Stains
apparently of blood, w e
noticed on his shirt-sleeve and
on a packet found in another
room, so he was taken to the
police station for further ques-
tioning, and there told that a
man had been found in a shop
with head injuries, but not the
name of the shop or the victim.
Yet when two packets of
cigarettes, found in his possess
ion, were laid on the table in
front of him, he said: "I bought
those cigarettes at Pearce's. I
was not in that man's shop. I
always buy my cigarettes at
Pearce's."
The police were now convince
ed that they had the murderer,
but had practically no evidence
for a jury. How they eventually
got that evidence, Richard Har-
rison, in "The C.I.D. and the
F.B.I!' calls "an outstanding ex-
ample of close and quick co-
operation between police and
laboratory — the best, I think,
I. have ever encountered."

Here is a recipe for filled sour
By TOM A. CULLEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
LONDON — (NEA) — It is
as ambassadors of youth, of the
New Elizabethan Age, that Queen
Elizabeth II and Prince Philip
are coming to America in Oc-
tober.
Theirs is the young idea that
gives the living lie to the notion
that Britain is washed-up, a
second-rate power dying of old
age.
"Our people, if they are aged,
are the youngest aged people that
have ever been seen," Sir Harold
Caccia, British ambassador in
Washington, told a Chicago audi-
ence recently. "This may be our
second youth, but it certainly is
not our second childhood."
Elizabeth, too,' is experiencing
a second bloom. Americans will
no longer recognize in her the
uncertain, girlishly n e r v o u s,
slightly pathetic figure, who, as
Princess -Elizabeth, visited the
United States with her husband
in 1951.
She can still be ,gay and care-
free upon occasion, but she has
matured, acquired dignity, shown
unexpected depth. In a word,
she has become regal,
As a wife, she is obViously
very much in love with her
handsome' husband, whom she
has made a Prince of the Realm.
As a mother, she is blessed with
two - lovely children, in whom
she takes just pride. As Queen,
she reflects the inner satisfac-
tion of this happy home.
Her American hosts will note
how often Elizabeth turns to
Philip whenever there is an ini-
portant decision to be made.
"Isn't Philip 'the limit?" How
often these words spring to the
Queen's lips as she tries to fol-
cream cookies which are deli-
cious and nice to make.
SOUR CREAM FILLED
COOKIES
1,I3 cup butter
'1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
13'i cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon each, soda and salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Prunes, raisins, and nuts
chopped together'.
Cream the butter; add sugar,
egg, and sour cream. Add flour
that has been sifted with baking
powder and salt. Dissolve soda
in a little warm water and add;
add vanilla. Roll and cut in
rounds. Top half the rounds with
the fruit-nut mixture. Place re-
maining rounds on top and seal

low him in his wilder flights.
Sometimes they are said with
pride, sometimes ruefully, almost
with despair.
Yes, Philip really is the limit,
as his American hosts will dis-
cover. His job while in the
United States will be to sell
Britain, and this he will tackle
with almost fiendish zest.
Watch him as he corners an
uneasy scientist at a Washington
cocktail party. With the space
of 15 minutes he can be expected
to remind the poor American
scientist that Britain discovered
the •atomic nucleus, penicillin,
vitamins and siliCones, among
other things.
Nor will the U.S. admirals and
Air Force generals come off any
better. Philip is not afraid to
remind the airborne generals
that many of the planes they
fly are powered by Rolls-Royce
engines designed in Britain, or to
remind the U.S. Navy that the
angled deck, mirror landing de-
vices and steam catapults used
on American aircraft carricts
were• developed from British
inventions.
It is with the American cap-
tains of industry that Philip will
feel most at home. The button-
holed businessman will be re-
minded that Britain leads the
world in the export of genera-
tors, boilers, textile machinery
and radioactive isotopes, shares
the lead with the United States
in the development of nuclear
power plants:
This is the new face of Britain.

The Queen And The Prince
Seen Through American Eyes
monarchy today, in the opinion
of most observers, lies in the- un-
critical adulation of the British
masses,
Most Britons scoffed when
some of the noble peers threat-
ened to shoot, or to horsewhip
Lord Altrincham (who eventual-
ly got a slap in the face) because
he had dared to criticize the•
Queen. Nevertheless, there is
danger of the monarchy turning
into a soap opera.
The uncritical adulation is seen
in the British Broadcasting Com-
pany's tendency to play "God
Save the Queen" upon any and
all occasions.
It is seen in the crowds that
press their faces through the rail-
ings of Buckingham Palace,
whether or not the Queen is in
residence there, as though ex-
pecting that a miracle will short-
ly take place.
The royal family's greatest
need at the present time, accord-
ing to their well-wishers, is for an
efficient public relations set-up
in place of the Snobbish courtiers.
who now function as such.
An experienced public rela-
tions officer would know how to
present the royal family with
dignity, at the same time making
'fullest use of mass cormnunica-
tions. In this respect, he could
learn lessons from. President
Eisenhower and his press sec-
retaries.
This lies behind Lord Altrin-
charn's suggestion that the Queen
should be surrounded by advisers
from as many different back-
grounds as' poseible. "A truly
classless a,n d Commonwealth
court," Altrincham` d e c I a r e s,
"could . . , bear eloquent witness
to 'the transformed nature of the
-- monarchy."
