Washington, Complacent i'm Past,
Seems to Be in Political DaSe
Air Full of Candidates. Policies and National Capital Doesn't
Know Much About Anything, Is Impression Produced
On Stranger.

, is rather that every care is being
taken to insulate the distinguished
patient from annoyance. Under such
circumstances 1t is natural that alb
surd stories gain circulation.

photographs recently taken of the

Hoover and the Experts.
No one has more thoroughly both
cred the experts on politics than
Herbert Hoover. One never hears q
suggestion that he is not thoroughly
efficient as an administrators, nor
that he is not completely familiar
with the European problems with
which the United States Is bound to
be deeply concerned for the future
for the immediate future, at least.
But there certainty ends. Washing
ton should know more OF the Hoover
candidacy than any other city in the
country, but Washington apparently
does not.
"He cannot go on the stump II he
Ia nominated" is the one item on
which Washington seems fairly
agreed. Tile Is not an impressive
speaker. His voice Is weak and his
mannerisms not all pleasant"
The other side OF this proposition
is that those who have been locked
up in room with Mr. Hoover, when
that gentleman had something to
say, are unanimous In declaring that
he covers the ground when he talks.
and that II his voice is weak his per-
sonality is not

His Missing Memory.
DR.. Joseph Showalter. OF tho Ma

to address a meeting OF scientists In
New York City the other day. DR..
Showalter forgot that New York City
Is now saving an hour OF daylight on
the sun dial each day. SO he took
train which should have landed him
in New York at o'clock. old time.
But the train was an hour and forty
minutes late and his watch was an
hour behind the New York time. When

Washington, April 10.-This town
