be an ideal man for that job. 1t would
largely be thing apart from the rest
of the cabinet. The nature of the
Office would more or less insulate 1t
from politics. Hoover would know.
and everybody else would know, that
little or nothing was expected from
him in the way of the necessary com
promises of collective cabinet or party
policy.
If Harding wants Hoover in his
cabinet, the way to bring 1t about
would be to effect this reorganization
of the departments and put Hoover In

man jobs-such jobs as managing a
mine in Asia with cooiie labor, and
the board of directors 5000 miles
away in London. But it ought also to
be said and remembered that the big
gest job of HooveFs career, the
Belgian relief. involved the most diff
cult and embarrassing kind of give
and-take in personal relations. 1t in
volved diplomacy with the German
government and with other govern
ments at time when the German
government was arrogant and the
other governments were suspicious.
l suspect though, there is some truth
in the notion that Hoover is best
adapted to a one-man job. He sets a
pace that others find it hard to follow,
and. plunging ahead like spirited
horse, is impatient of any ties that
harness him to others. Also, he has a
temperament that is sometimes in
clined 10 varying moods. His methods
of getting results are individual to
himself and frequently temperamental.
Has Peculiar Methods.
George Creel, who worked with
Hoover good deal during the war.
says after Hoover has gone carefully
through all the minute preparations
for an enterprise, he then goes into the
final putting it over in the same way

That sort of thing. though brilliantly
successful in individual enterprises,
might easily make demands for toler-
ances on a group composed of more
evenly gated men.
Also, Hoover in the cabinet would
fret under the necessity of political
expediencies. Even legitimate politi-
cal expediencies. Every administra
ton and every cabinet must take &C
count Of the public's moods and of the
partys fortunes. Hoover wouldn' t

know how to do this, and might take
an attitude of scorning to do it if he
knew how. Some of these traits might
well make Hoover uncomfortable in
normal cabinet job
Ideal for New Place
There is. however. one possible
cabinet job in which Hoover ought to
be perfectly comfortable, and in which
Harding could get the assets of Hoov-
er's ability and his public following
wiwthout any handicaps. If there
should be reorganization of the cab
met such as has been suggested in
Senator Medill McCormick's bill and
in various other projects, there will be
a new cabinet office to be known as

INCREASING PRICES

BERLIN. Dec 11.-Gradually In
ereasing prices for food in Berlin
have caused a corresponding increase
In the demands Of workmen for higher
wages and strikes, or the threat OF
strikes, hang over virtually every
business in the city.
Approximately 100000 persons are
reported unemployed IN Germany. the
majority of them in reduced circum-
stances, some facing starvation. Four
months ago 2S4, fs1 women were seek
ing employment, according to the
labor ministry's estimate, and it was
announced 100000 persons shortly

many is occupied with the problem OF
providing work for unemployment and
adjusting wage difficulties, in an effort
to forestall the spread Of strikes and
further discomfort.
Shops Well Stocked.
/ The meat, shops of Berlin are we'll
stocked with choice cuts and have
large supplies of imported cheese, oils,
Pickles and other viands but, as
winter advances, prices continue to go
up and sales fall off. With nothing
saved from summer wages, workmen
are facing the problem of expenditures
for fuel for heat and warm clothes in
addition to food and the fact that the
pay of many falls short of meeting
these expenses has caused spread of
unrest.

Cannot Afford Meat.

workman. Meat merchants say the
average German can afford meat not
oftener than once week and he must
buv cuts of poorest quality.
With wages for skilled fworkmen
ranging from 80 to 40, marks day,

food experts estimate the minimum
cost of existence in Berlin. For a
single man at AS marks week. for
a man and wife 216 marks week:
for man and wife and two children be-

marks. These prices have shown a
gradual increase since February and
it is expected will continue to rise
during the winter.
While bread is still rationed. meat
cards are no longer issued. It is said
they are unnecessary because the
people generally cannot buy meat at

is Not Inevitable.
These things commend Hoover for
he~~cabinet. They do not make him
inevitable. For no man is inevitable
in the cabinet. Harding has the clear
est possible right to name his own
cabinet and to choose it on basis of
getting men who will work smoothly
with him, with the senate and con-
gress, and with the leaders of
Republican party.
It is Harding's privilege to apply
tests of personal judgment and person
al comfort in selecting the members
of the cabinet. 1t is true he will be
judged to- an extent, by the men he
puts in his cabinet but he can choose
between being judged at the beginning
of his term and being judged at the
end of it. He can select men who
already have big names and whose
selection will give him a favorable
momentum at the start, or he can
select men who he is certain will make
a good team. and then ask to be judged
by their performance as team at the
end of four years.
Teamwork Doubtful.
In considering Hoover for the cab
met, the doubt that may be raised will
rest on whether or rot he is good
man for team work. Those who raise
this doubt say that Hoover made his
career and his fame within his pro-
fess:on in situations which were one

DR.. BERRY RIDES BRONZE
HORSES OF ST. MARKS

Most people know of the noted
bronze horses over the portico of the
cathedral of st. Marks, Venice They
are OF heroic size and are numbered,
among the great works of art. Be
cause of their great value they were
removed from their pedestal at great
expense during the war for fear lest
some daring Austrian aviator might
attempt to destroy them. DR. Berry's
genius for seeing things and knowing
all about them when he sees them is
Illustrated by the story which is cur
rent regarding him, that when he was
in Venice he was not satisfied to look
at these works of art from the pave
ment below but contrived to so "inf1u-
ence' the cathedral guards as to Sc
cure permission to ascend the portico
and get closeup view. More than
that, he actually got on one of the
horses and viewed Venice from it's
back-a thing VIII h had never been
done before. His genius for descrip-
ton is Just as great. and it is said he
uses no descriptions in his lectures I'M
less he has actually seen the things
described. Chautauqua patrons have

Homer lay white and still where
