Washington. Aug. what sort Of
| human being is Herbert c. Hoover?
| So long as the war lasts Hoover will
| have more to say about what we all
eat and what we pay for it than any,
body else. Hoover win be an unin vited
guest at every American dinner table.
He will be steady boarder for the
period of the war in every American
| home.
Suppose we go over to the building
of the interior department and look
Hoover over. have a chat with him,
! see whether We are going to enjoy his
society?
Everybody knows something about
what Hoover has done. Books have
been written in praise of his work as
head of the c. r. B.. the commission
for the relief of Belgium. The stoy of
his business career has been told. with
its last chapter, prior to the war, To-
eating him in London as mining en-
gineer. with branch offices and mining

Hoover Hard to Describe.
But what about Hoover, the mane
What does he look like talk like, act
like? What are his pet amusements:
what are his chief faults: how are we
all going to be impressed by him when
he walks into every dining room three
times day until the war is over?
1t isn't easy to give any clear idea
Of Herbert Hoover. There is no single
conspicuous feature to hang the pic
ture on. If Hoover only had long red
whiskers. If he wore his hair long. or
had acquired q monocle or an English
accent during his long residence in
London, the job would be easy. But
he possesses none OF those accomplish
ments or adornments.
He is Of medium height and his fig
ure IS square and sturdy. He is smooth
shaven. his face is broad rather than
long. and his features are straight and
regular. He looks younger than his
years, which are only IS. He has a
thick thatch of brown hair and he has
not even begun to show the slightest
signs of becoming bald headed
Well Dressed American.
I'm afraid one would not turn 70

he did. he would conclude that here
was a well dressed. well TO do, good
looking young American business man
his nationality could not be mistaken.
He looks, too. like a western man
which he is-and not at all like a
Quaker-which he also is, by inherit
ance, ar least.
Chatting with Hoover, one needs lis
ten closely, for ne talks in . tone

conversation. That is not an aHecta-
ton. There is no aHectauon about
him. His chief characteristic. perhaps,
is directness. He seems to know eN-

a good idea of how to get it. And ne

tack followed by Reed, OF Missouri, the
noisy boy Of the senate, OF whom q
man fond Of biblical illusions says he
never before knew what was meant
by "a reed shaken In the wind"
Reed says that Egypt Is the only
country that ever had food admins
tration like that projected in the Unit
ed States. and compares Hoover with
Pharaoh. When the latter got through
with Egypt, Senator Reed declares that
the country was all to the bad. only
OF course, he did not use such Ian
guage.
From that day to this" the senator
said. Egypt has walked with bowed
head and broken heart In her sad
eyes the light of hope has never flashed.
Dead as are the rocks of her mighty
monuments. she lies at the gateway
of human lifel like the entrance to a
sepulchre."
Vast Power in Hands.
Something like that is what Senator
Reed expects Mr.. Hoover to do to the
United States. And now that we know
the worst, 1t may be admitted that the
food administrator of the United States
does enjoy the exercise Of power, in
which he does not differ from most
strong and efficient men. He has had
a lot OF power for many years.
Born on farm in Iowa and left an
orphan when small boy. he has sup
ported himself since he was IS. At
the age OF 25, four years after he had
graduated from the Leland Stanford
University, he was appointed director
and chief engineer of all the mines
of the then empire of China. He took
a leading part in the defense of Tient-
sin during the Boxer rebellion. He has
managed mines in all the continents
but South America. He has played
big part in the business world of
London.
He did well tremendously difficult
job in the feeding of Belgium task
which ne still directs, spending &c.
900. 900 a month now in the United
States for the relief of Belgium and
north France. And now he has come
back home to use his matured and
tested powers in the service of his
country.
Measures Up to Job.
0nce Inc 1000 Dill Is signed oy fresi-
dent Wilson. think Hoover will quick
~ stFaighten out the present confusion
and conflict of authority-for which he
is not responsible.
He plans to see. first of all. that the
people of the United States get an
abundant supply of food; that foods
are properly and evenly distributed:
that speculation in foodstuffs is stop
ped. and that prices are kept at fair
level He will see also that ali the
possible surplus of foodstnffs is sent
to feed oar allies in Europe.
He is one OF the men in Washington
who seems plainly to measure up to
his job.

gians across barred waters and thru

1t is not permitted to interview Mr..
Hoover until after the food bin has
been finally passed and signed, so what
he said may not be set down here.
"What 10 He After?"
So far Hoover has been distressing
puzzle to the cynics of Washington.
When new man comes down to the
national capital the first question they
ask is, What Is he after?"
In the case Of Hoover they know it
is not money. His salary and that Of
each of his chief assistants-all volun-
teers-has been fixed at 81 a year.
They are equally certain that Hoover
has no political ambitions. No man
would take the thankless job of trying
to regulate food prices. distribution and
consumption. In which he is sure to
make many enemies and an exceedingly
uncertain number of friends. if he was
planning to run for office.
They have no idea that Mr.. Hoover is
II search of social prestige, for they
have learned that no man is more care
less of social conventions. In British
social circles Hoover was known as
the rudest man in London" Here in
Washington. even when he has guests
at dinner he is likely to leave the table
suddenly to telephone, and he not in
frequently quits party OF guests with
out explanations. in order to write
down something that has occurred to
him as worth recording.
Declined British Post.
But the best proof of all is found
in the fact that his greatest abilities

in Great Britain. when IN the early days
OF the war he was offered post of
great responsibility in the British gov
eminent, which would have necessi-
tated his giving up his American citi-
zenship. he declined the offer without
the slightest hesitation.
To have accepted it would have
meant a certain Sir before his name
and the probability OF a peerage after
the war. A man who turns down
chances OF that kind has surely no!
been bitten by the society bug.
And. finally. when il was learned
that Hoover's oldes: son, a boy OF Il.
is attending the public high school 1t
Palo Alto, Cal. the cynics gave up the
social prestige theory as an utter i'm
possibility.

A
SOFT HORSE At
HEAVY WORK.

When the soft horse is started at
heavy work, the shoulders should be
given good deal of care. The horse
will need frequent breathing spells
and at these times lift the collar SO as
to give the shoulder a chance to cool
and to dry. When it becomes moist
from sweat, it will become sore much
quicker than if kept dry. The collar
should be kept smooth, if any in
crustations form on it, scrape them
of. Care should be used in making
sure that the horse has the collar
that is fitted to its shoulders. A mis-
fit collar is apt to lead to shoulder
touble. When starting the horse ct
hard work. watch its shoulders and
neck too, carefully.

ENDURING
PROSPERITY
MUST BE BASED ON WISE POLL
CIES AND AN INTELLIGENT
STUDY OF POLITICAL AND EC-
ONOMIC QUESTIONS.

In an interview in Boston with Hon.
John w. Weeks he said:
Whatever changes may be made in
The map Of Europe as result Of the
war it is evident that decided eco
nomic changes will be made. It is ap-
parent that the drift is toward protec-
ton and not free trade. There is no
hint that Germany has considered for
a moment changing the protective
policy which has made possible the
remarkable industrial development Of
the empire and without which her ar
mics would have succumbed long ago.
France has long been a protectiveist
nation and will so continue. It is in
Great Britain, for over half century
the only stronghold Of free trade that
the most sweeping changes will be
found. Six months ago British labor
unions, represeAilng nnenh hership Of
two and half r:illions, declared for a
protective tariff, and more recently q
similar declaration was made by the
British Manufacturers association at
the annual meeting held in London.
Hon. George Terrell, a member of par
Lament, who presided at the meeting
declared that "a tariff on manufactur-
ed imports is a national necessity"
and that the association proposed to
insist on "a tariff for the protection of
the British manufacturer" and on
preferential trade within the empire.
Confirmation of England's adoption of
protection was contained in a recent
interview by Pierce Williams, Ameri-
can commercial attache in London, in
which he stated that a protective tar
if in Great Britain appears to be
sure result of the war. Commercial
alliance Of friendly nations also are
a probable outcome Of the war, and
we will experience more difficulty in
selling our goods in foreign markets
and must face q more determined ane
+, aggressive attack upon our own mar.
kets.
! It is the failure Of our government
to t: ke adequate steps to protect oul
working men and our manufacturer
from the economic drive, from the ag.
gressive competition sure to follow the
war, that is the most distressing fea'
ture of the situation.
We need national policies designed
to protect and promote the nations
business and an administration Of ma
tional affairs that is based upon exper
ience not experiment. Let the bust
ness man, and by that I mean tht
Garner as well as the employer
give more thought to political and eco
nomic questions and then we will place
both state and nation on amore stable
and enduring basis Of prosperity"
