Politicians Fear Hoover

Vernon Kellogg in the Yale Review There is much talk-and thought and feeling-about Mir. Hoover in connec- tion with the presidency, and there is
 reluctance, bitter reluctance, on
 the part of the leaders, the professio-
 nal and prominent politicians, to hear
 this talk. For MT. flower is very clear ly not one of them, nor is he man to be controlled by them. They can see Finn only as probable bull in the political china shop. They fear that all
 those rare relics too fragile for robust
 handling, those prized porcelains of the Mckinley and Cleveland dynasties those mysterious draperies from which the illusionist-p politician extracts white rabHts and full dinner pails, would set roughly handled by such a man. And the self-appointed curators of the political museum do not want their things roughly handled.
 Hoover would be much more interest," ed in the modern and industrial sec
 tions than in the historical section of the museum l can image him flinging his BaedelSer on the floor as he entered the holy place, and asked: What have you to show me, and the people be- bind me. for l am only one of a rather impatient group, of modern appliances for amelorating the woes of the land and of the human race?" What have you got in the way of labor saving de- vices to help Congress, to stimulate and coordinate department activities, | to bring the executive and legislative | functions of government into effective common council? What ifs provided to l cover war losses? What have you to show us in the line of machines to i assure the rights of collective agree

 As far as food goes, they don't seem to have much kick, either--no more than the usual soldierly hostility to the mess sergeant which is to be expec. ed in all well regulated commands. The faces of the oldtimers, though lined and sometimes scared, look ruddy and healthy. while those of the younesters positively bulge and beam. Several whom I talked to actually confessed to having put on weight while holding down the watch. All of which should serve to reassure quite a number of anxious mothers back home.

A King Who Cooked

From "The Sum of All Wisdom-Habi-
 bullah Khan,' by A. C. levitt, in
 Asia
 ghanistan. was no novice as cook It would have made an intere sA,ng pie ture if 1t could have been taken-the Amir squattng on his heels among the cooking pots. He used to have a sort of cooking tournament among his sir 'dars. Often these cooking fests would be held out in. the open when his majesty was on one of his outings.
 Once when l was stopping at the Eaber Sari, the Amir made a visit to Baber garden. which is in the rear, and the court interpreter made me Tisit. Not having seen the Amir for some time. and having some work that needed his sanction. l suggested to the interpreter that l go into the garden and make my salaams to his majesty. He replied. "Oh, You cannot see him TOW. the king is peeling potatoes" The courtiers were not particularly keen on these cooking bees. as they ad to do most of the hard work.
 I had dishes sent to me several times that were his majesty's own handi- work. At the Jeshan festivals. which follow the Sodar year and comes on the fourth of July. the Europeans were given dinner at a separate table on Ele lawn. Frequently his majesty sent some special dish from his own table. Once he had soup served as the third course, and later they were sent a large dish of ice cream with four spoons stuck in it.
 At his meals as in his dress, the Amir followed the European fashion. His table was set with the same furniture that we use. a white cloth was spread over the table and servi- cites of damask were at each place. Els majesty several times called my attention to an invention that he aimed was his own--a silver cover for a dish. with a round hole in the top through which cherry stones, peach stones and the like might be dropped, and. as he explained. their unsightliness concealed from the diners. He was very heavy eater, and at times used the vacuum to ex- redite the Intake.
