enjoyed his position in the treasury de-

| only little more than 80 years OF age; but
he has had considerable experience, and
had developed an executive ability which

popular and respected, md although he has
| endeavored to override the restrictions OF

he was selected for. He is tall, fine-look-
ing man, with sandy hair and moustache.
and looks ten years older than he really is.
