The evident popularity of Hoover
among the voters of both parties and
OF McAdoo in the Democrat party
probably is not due to any personal
preference for these men as individ-
uals, but to a desire on the part of the
people to place business man in the
presidency rather than politician.
Probably the same may be said of
Wood. The voters prefer a man with
record of Accomplishment as a di-
rector OF big undertakings to a man
whose claims are based upon his abil--
ity to be elected to office in the past.
Wood, Hoover and McAdoo all pos
sess such records. The big parties,
when they meet in convention, will do
well to recognize this trend of thought
among the plain citizens. The party
that tries to put anything over on the
people this year probably will find in
November that it made a mistake.

HOME HUNTING.
CHAPTER az

1t was almost morning before either
of US slept. I would almost lose my
self and Robert would suddenly speak
of some plan to push things at the
store, or voice some OF his delight at
my decision. Then, wide awake again,
I would wonder how we were to man
age; if we could possibly live on what
he earned; and also If 1 should regret
having acted so on impulse.
What had made me do it?
I asked myself that question over
and over. I knew I had not made up
my mind when L went TO the store to
help Robert. Neither had / decided
when we reached home. The words
had come of their own volition. I
must now. in fairness 10 Robert, stand
by what 1 had said until he proved
himself incapable. 1 must at least give

In my thoughts I did not minimize

CHAuNcEY NJ. DEEPEN.

Last week for the twenty-ninth
time the Montauk club CAV a dinner
in commemoration of the birth of
Chauncey NJ. Depew. 1t was the
eighty-sixth anniversary of his natal
day. OF course, Mr.. Depew made a
speech and in it can be found no evil
dence of his advancing years. It was
replete with "reminiscences and anec-
dotes, one OF which seems so peril
nent to present times as to be worth
repeating. 1t follows:
During the panic of 1873. left the
Union Trust company, which had just
closed Its doors, with one OF it's lead
ing directors and stockholders who
had also lost in the panic his large
fortune. He was a client of mine, but
his difficulties were beyond advice or

head, took deep and reassuring

the world has always gone around: it
always will go around" 1t did so for
him. While he then was at the bot
tom, in a few years he was on top, and
one of the few who out of that catas-
trophe regained his fortune. This re-
mark has been of infinite help to me
all my life, and to others to whom I
have repeated it. I have had my ups
and downs and when the down was
hard enough to depress my spirits and
nearly wreck my hopes. light and
courage have come from the remark
of and the example of my old friend.
THE world always has gone around
it will always go around"
Mr.. Depew's story is commended
to those who thing that the world is
going to the dogs and that the country
Is on the verge of anarchy and ruin.
He has spent more than half a CEN
fury in intimate contact with public
affairs and has always maintained
that optimism which characterizes
him at the age of Sc years.

Household Hints



Raised Oatmeal Muffins-One and
one-half cups rolled oats, seven and
one-half cups bread flour, one-third
cup molasses, one-third cup sugar, one
teaspoon butter, one yeast cake, one
tablespoon salt
Pour three cups of boiling water
over oatmeal and let stand one or two
hours. Then add other ingredients
and mix well with knife. Let rise oyer
night. In the morning stir up well
and pour into buttered pans. This
recipe makes two small loaves of
bread and twelve mullins.
Olive Oil Mayonnaise Dressing-,=->.
the yolks of two eggs or one whole
egg may be used, add one tablespoon
of vinegar; beat well. then add salt to
taste and oil until as thick as desired.
The old-fashioned way was to drop
the oil in very slowly drop by drop,
but if vinegar is added to the eggs
first, the oil may be poured in much
faster and the mayonnaise will never
curdle.
