NEW YORK, March 2.-The first
direct answer from Herbert Hoover
as to whether or not be would like
to become president of the United
States, was given the other day by the
famous American engineer and food
administrator.
TO speak with absolute trust, -
5alc Hoover to me in his New York
office, at Broadway and Wall street,
1T is not my ambition to be president
Of United States at all. To become
one of the consulting engineers to
United States would be the sort of a
position that would suit me a great
deal better. The latter, I think,
would be one of the greatest jobs the
world holds today for any man"
| asked Hoover if he did not think
that the president of United States
the kind of a modern president that
the United States needs today-could
very we'll be a consulting engineer
to our national and international
problems, and he said:
What we really need here, over
and above everything else, is a sur
vey made by engineers from a de-
tached point of view. This survey
.hould expose and ventilate our ma
tional problems and it should diagnose
these ills and prescribe scientifically
the cure for them.
Uncover Facts First.
Like all surveys made by good
engineers, in contradlstinctlon to
those made by good politicians, it
would uncover the facts in the case.
If the facts in our case are not un-
covered, we may very we'll make up
our minds that the period of recon
struction is going to be a period of
slp--hod patching up that will prove
neither effective nor final and may in
the end be tragical.
I'VE need this engineers survey
in order that we may make our creak-
ing economic, political and social ma
chine truly efficient. Only such a
survey, made from a detached point
of view and permitting a vision of
our country as national as we'll as
an international unit, can ever really
show US what things must now be
done if our era of reconstruction is
to be an era of actual progress.

Best of Care Couldn't
Save This Marshall Babv
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON,
March 2.-Morri-
son Marshall, fos-
ter son of Vice
President and Mrs.
Thomas Marshall,
who died recently,
was one of the cap
ital's most interest
ing and beautiful
babies.
Two years ago
N RS. Marshall
borrowed" Morri-
son from the diet
kitchen of a Wash
ington hospital. He
had been taken
there by his moth
er in a last despair
ing attempt to
bring him health.
The baby was the
seventh of a poor
family and the
plain fact was he
never had enough
10 eat.
Mrs. Marshall
had a special diet
kitchenette built
to cook his food.
Every aid of mod
ern baby culture
was brought to
bring him back to
health. He grew
strong and a year
ago might have
taken a prize at a
baby show.
But despite the
care given him, the
start he had handi-
capped him and the
acidulated blood
that caused his
death, is traceable,
it is said to malnu-
triton.

where he began the intensive train
ing incident to being developed into
an officer. His splendid educational
training, his natural ability insured
the success of his undertaking. How
ever, it was never destined that he
should go to Europe. Within two
weeks from the time that he entered
the camp he developed influenza
and within one short week thereaf-
ter a noble soul had passed into the
great beyond. He fought a hard
fight as is best shown by remark
of one of the physicians attending
him who said, "Boy, if you fight the
Germans like you have this flu it
will all be over within a short while.
This was but an evidence of the
type of a man that he was. He lived
an upright, righteous life; was loved
by those who knew him best and ad-
mired and respected by all those he
came in contact with. x
He leaves to his young son a rich
heritage and one he may well be
proud Of. A useful life was offered
upon the altar as q sacrifice for his
country. It was the thought of pro-
tecting the innocent women nd chill
dren of his country that prompted
Wardlaw to take the step he did.
From Camp Zachary Taylor his
body was brought to Greenville, s..
G., where he was buried with mill
tary honors. Friends from all over
the state came to pay their last re-
spects to their beloved friend.

GENERAL WOOD MAY BE
- NEXT WAR SECRETARY

Washington, Oct. 16.-The positive
statement was made in high official
circles here today that should Senator
Harding be elected, Major Gen. Leon
ard Wood will be the next secretary
of war. 1t is also understood that in
such event either Major Gen. j.. G..
Harbord or Gen. James W. Mean
drews will be chief of the general
staff. t,t,.. S.. e.
Senator Harding, it was stated, has
already made up his mind about Gen
eral Wood. It was pointed out that In
making the tentative selection the
senator is following the precedent
set by President Mckinley, who nam
ed Gen. Russell A. Alger, his oppo.
nent in the convention, to head the
war office.
Should General Wood be named i,
will be the trSt time SINCE the .CIvu
war that an army officer has ever oc-
cupied this post. His hackers in the
department indicted today that if he
accepts he will make startling num-
ber Of changes in the military person
mel. ~ r.. .,..c.i.
The. bitterest humiliation suffered
by any American officer during the
late war those heaped upon Cen
eral Wood, his friends assert. The one
that hurt most was an order, direct
ing him to return to the United Stat
es after he had a trained fighting
force in France and expected to- be
assigned to the battle line. The officer

ASKS GOVERNMENT
TO BORROW MONEY
... FOR THE FARMERS
And Place Same in Banks for Lend.
ing. to Farmers at a Profit of
One Per Cent to the Gov q.
ernment.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Declaring
that some one" must finance this
years crop, George P. Hampton, man
aging director of the Farmers Ma
tional Council, today wrote the Fed
eral Reserve Board suggesting that
in event the board definitely decided
against making an effort to get its
members to discount farm paper. and
warehouse receipts, the government
borrow money and deposit it in ma
tional banks to. be loaned to farmers
at not more than one per cent. in ex-
cess of the rate the government pays.
Farmers thus would be able, Mr..
Hampton said, to hold at least part
of their crops until they can get cost
of production plus a reasonable pro
fit or until there is an. effective con.
sumption demand. r..s
Either the primary producer or
these who are seeking to get control
of farm products and who are able
to get credit from some. source must
finance the crop the letter said. *
"The men seeking to corner agri-
cultural products will not reduce the
prices at which they sell crops any
lower than they have to, Mr.. Hamp-
ton declared. ,."The law of supply and
demand will be unavailing in case
