already written, lives in the old home
stead surrounded by an ample acreage;
Mrs. Jane E. (Vanderwerken) Grun-
well lives on part of the old tract, and
SO does another of the Vanderwerken
girls, Mrs. Emma Jewell.
Gilbert Vanderwerken was not a ma
tive of these parts. He was born at
Waterford, N. Y, in 1910, and came to
Washington about 1890. He was mar
ried at Waterford to Jane Vandenberg,
whose family, like that Of the Wander
werkens, was descended from early
Dutch settlers.
Mr.. Vanderwerken as a boy was ap-
prenticed to a coach builder. Early
in life he opened a coach building
factory at Newark, N. J. The health of
himself and wife not being good, they
were advised to try a more southerly

While still student Hoover spent
his summer vacations working in the
field. For example, he was a minor
survey in 1893, and the summer OF
1895 he spent in like capacity with
the United States geological survey IN
Nevada.
Also. in college he found time to
court and win the promise of fair

who, like him, was a distinguished
student. Not until 1899 did the Hoover
finances permit them to marry. Now

figure in the most exclusive English

Hoover laid the foundation for his
fame as a mining engineer by hard
work as assistant manager OF various
mines in New Mexico and California.
and then the great British mining firm
of Bewick, Moering & Co, Of which he
later became a partner, hearing of his
capabilities, sent him to West Aus

came the Boxer uprising. Mr.. Hoover
was in Tientsin. Just as in England the
American colony turned to him for

European and American colony turned
to him for leadership in organising for
their defense and for the defense of the
city against the Boxers.

Soon after the publication of the
Rambler's first trip to Forest Glen, he
received the following letter:

ment. This task was accomplished Dy
Mr. Hoover, with the aid of some no.
table figures in British social life. and
also with the aid of his highly inteih-
gent wife.
The plan as finally arranged just
twelve months ago was this: The king
and his encourage were to proceed on
a British battleship. properly conveyed,
to the Panama canal, thence through to
the Pacific and on to San Francisco.
At San Francisco the king would re-
main aboard the ship and thus in Brit
ish territory. save for certain scheduled
visits he would make ashore. and the
period of these visits would be the only
times when he would be the guest of
this nation.
Then the squadron would proceed
north to Victoria and Vancouver. and
the king would journey eastward
through Canada to take ship for home.
All of this had been arranged quietly
down to the last detail and Hoover was
responsible for 1t all-when the war
broke out and caused it's abandonment.
Hoover is handling the gigantic Bel
CLAN relief work just exactly as he al
thoroughly. exactly. efficiently. He
has put the resources and the machin-
cry Of his own business Organization
and that is an organization worldwide
in it's scope-at the disposal Of the re-
lief work. For example. his agent in
New York is his New York business
partner, Lindon w. Bates, who. by the
way. is a very close and intimate
friend of former President Taft.
Hoover; acting by cable through

by purchase and send her to Rotter-
dam. There the highly trained organ
Nf Htctr nSNtn I1A hoa
created takes charge Of the cargo and
disposes of 1t where 1t will do the most
good. Europe. and especially King AL
bert. and also American visitors have
marveled at the efficiency with which
the organization works.
There Is no looseness of management
anywhere. Hoover, operating as he al
ways operates In business matters, has
a complete accountancy system as part
of his organization. He has system OF
frequent reports in which q graphic
presentation is made Of all operations.
These reports. some copies of which
have recently come to Washington.
show down to penny everything that
has been donated and what has been
done with 1t. Donors to the fund have
the satisfaction Of tracing their dollars
directly to their ultimate expenditure.
1t Is costing Hoover a lot Of time ana
money, but that does not cause his ef-
forts to lag.
A Washington friend of Hoover said
of him not long ago: HE typfnes ex-
actly the twentieth century American.
In him are united efficiency. great con-
structive and executive ability. high
standards of honor and integrity. broad

Of things at once. and leave the impress

Several years ago. when plans for the
Panama Pacific exposition at San
Francisco were forming, a Californian
living in Washington who was inter-
ested in the project was asked by the
exposition management to call on Mr.
Hoover at a Washington hotel to dis
cuss some phases OF the coming fair.
This gentleman knew of Hoover, but
had never met him.
He found Hoover not at all a distin.
guished looking person, Just an ordi-
nary looking American, like thousands
Of others who come daily to the capital
Of the United States But Hoover's talk
bristled with splendid suggestions for
