United States Chiefs
Are Always Watched
At the moment the night of Tuesday,
November b, that the election
return* of the country assured him
that he was lifted from the comparative
obscurity of private citizenship
to the exalted prominence of national
leadership, Herbert Hoover began to
imprisonment which he knows must
last throughout the time hif is the
country's chief executive.
He must yield his right to privacy
and bow to the provision that entails
the watching of his every movement
and the guarding of his person at all
times, even during the silent hours of
the night when hd7 slumbers in his
bed. Not even a stroll upon the
streets of Washington may witness
him unaccompanied, through it be
broad daylight.
His first taste of imprisonment
came to the president-elect on his
South American tour. He learned on
that journey that for the next four
years, at least, he will be watched no
less than the prisoner serving the
longest term in any penitentiary in
the land?though not for the same
purpose.
% The vigilance of the government in
iis protection of its chief eveeutive
is unwavering, and the United Statei,
Secret Service, to which is entrusted
the actual surveillance, never is lux
for one moment in the duty assigned
it.
Protection of the president is one
of its chief responsibilities. In every
Treasury Department appropriation
act which covers the secret service
appears this clause: "To protect the
person of the president and the members
of his immediate family and of
the person chosen to be the president
of the United States." The secret
service does not even wait for the
newly-elected president to take office,
hut. the moment that the will of the
people has determined who shall occupy
the White House The secret ser"
vice goes on the job.
The same protection will apply to
young Allan Hoover and to Herbert
Hoover, Jr., and the Hoover grandchildren.
Mrs. Hoover, it goes without
saying, also comes within the
purview of this act.
The moment that Mr. Hoover's
election was assured, William H.
Moran. chief of the secret service,
went himself to Pala Alto, Calif., and
there, met by a detail of secret service
agents from 8a n Francisco,
threw about the president-elect and
bis family a protective cordon which
will last through his term of ofAce.
Beside Mr. Morun, there are others
who will be as close to Mr. Hoover
as his shadow. They are Col. K. W.
Starling, six feet three inches tall ip
his stocking feet, physically powerful,
and a veteran in the service,
Richard Jervis, chief of the White
House detail yf nine men; Walter
Ferguson, another, powerful agent
and an expert with the pistol; John
J. Fitzgerald, the smallest man on the
detail, wiry and fast on his feet and
as quick as a cat in his bodily movements,
and others.
Jervis, the head of the White
House detail, has been on duty there
since the administration of President
Taft. He is one of the most photographed
men in the world, because
sticking to the side of the president
like glue, he always rides on the front
seat of the automobile when the chief
executive goes riding and is naturally
caught by the camera.
It is Fitzgerald who is seen with
the 1'resident walking briskly throug.u
the streets of Washington or plunging
through the bypaths of the
park-.
Another secret service man, Grady
Boatright, fell heir to the choicest bit
of detail of the entire staff. He accompanied
President-elect Hoover on
his S<?iith American trip?an envious
detail from more J.han one point of
view.
Aii tin- members of this ever-present
l>..--:\guard are picked men, highly
intelligent, line appearing, and of
pleasing personalities. They are
never un.formed. , Their duties call
for ineoopieuousnesB, and they are
inconapieuous until something happens,
or threatens tp happen, to endanger
the life of the president.
They know a little bit about everything.
At the same time, Mr. Hoover is
learning the difference between a
free born private American citizen
and one called to lead the nation fo:
the next four years?all through their
presence in front of him, in back o!*
him, and on both sides of him.
Secret service men have guarded
the president for many years, al
though it was not until after the assassination
of President McKinly that
protection of the president became
one of the responsibilities of the secret
_service? President Lincoln had
a bodyguard in William Pinkerton,
a private detective.
No president had the value and the
self-sacrifice nf the secret service
more firmly impressed upon his mind
than President Roosevelt. One member
of the organization gave his life
to protect him in a collision between
a loaded carriage and an electric car
at North Adams, Mass., in lPOd.
^ et R >o- velt found keen enjoyment
in tr\.:ig to give his guards the
slip.
President-elect Hoover may go to
church, to the theater, on an automobile
ride, to a funeral service, on a
stroll for exercise, or to bed, or to a
ball game, or he may receive callers.
He will watch what is taking place.
The secret service men will do two
other things. They will watch the
crowds and watch Mr. Hoover.
A P rench professor of medicine,
has announced the discovery and suei
ess, ui use of a serum containing
citrates which are refreshing to the
blood and thus eliminating the necessity
for blood transfusions.

Safety, silence and
simplicity are features
of the new Ford,
six-brake system
ONE of the first tilings you
Mill notice when you drive
the new Ford in the quirk,
effective, silent action of its
six-brake system.
This system gives you the
highest degree of safety and
reliability because the fourwheel
scrx ice brakes and the
separate emergency or parking
brakes are all of tin*
mechanical, internal expanding
ty j?e, with braking
surfaces fully enclosed for
protection against mud,
water, sand, etc.
The many advantages of
this type of braking system
have long been recognized.
Tlify are brought to you in
the new Ford through a
series of mechanical improvements
embodying
much that is new in design
nnd manufacture. A particularly
unique feature is the
simple way by which a special
drum has been constructed
to permit the use of
two sets of internal brakes
on the rear wheels.
A further improvement
in braking performance is
effected by the self-centering
feature of the fourwheel
brakes ? an
exclusive Ford development.
Through
this construction, the etrffee
surface oi the shoe- is
brought in steady, uniform
contact with the drum the
instant you press your foot
on the brake pedal. This
prevents screeching and
howling and makes the Ford
brakes unusually silent in
operation.
Another feature of the
l-'ord brakes is the eusQ ot
adjustment. )j
The fou''-wheel brakes
are adjusted by turning a
screw conveniently located
on the outside of each brake
plate. This screw ia so
notched that all four brakes
can be set alike simply by
listening to the "clicks."
The emergency or parking
brakes on the new Fort!
require little attention. However,
should they need adjustment
at any time, consult
your Ford dealer for
prompt, courteous, and economical
service. He works
under close factory super*
vision and he has been specially
trained and equipped
to help you get the greatest
possible use from your car
over the longest pe rlod
of time at a minimum
of trouble and
expense.
