to go through
''Ilc displayed as a senior some OF
the organizing ability that has made
him SO conspicuous
II may fairly be said that DR.. Swain
gave Hoover his chance to receive a
college education.
IL came about in this way. In the
summer of 1891, when the new uui-
versity in California was about TO
open, DIR. Swain was asked by Presi.
dent Jordan to take charge of the eX-
aminations at Portland, Ore.
One of the boys, a lad of rudy coun-
tenance, about IL years of age, at
tracted Dr. SWANS particular notice
by his intense concentration on his
plane geometry examination.
He was boy who took life seri.
ousIy, it was evident, and answered
oral questions sententiously.
1t was presently revealed that the
young Hoover was only prepared in
the first two books of plane geometry
and was trying to solve an original
problem based on the fourth
He was working as carpenter, at
Sl.50 day, and had completed three
quarters of the high school course. He
had no money, but he had the will to
win, and he was bound to 90 TO col
lege.
His intelligence and superior will led
me to see that such boy only needed
to be given a chance.
81, therefore, entered him at Stan
ford, and he was able to come to col
lege. He came and by the end of the
first year he had earned his way,
worked off his conditions and satisfac-
torily completed the work of the fresh
man year.
"The case of Herbert Hoover Is A
good illustration of the fact that the
examinations set for the entrance to
our colleges and universities need to
be used with discrimination. Had Her
bert Hoover's exceptional personal
qualities been overlooked, and had he
been judged by his grades alone, on
his examination papers. Sanford's most !
son would not have been |
1 member of the pioneer class at least, I
md perhaps would have never entered |
Stanford university"
In his senior year the hidden influ-
nee of Hoover was responsible for
he election of self-supporting dark
lorse" to the presidency of the student
ouncil, the highest student honor.

HOOVER IN COLLEGE.
Recollections by Two of His Former
Teachers.

1
| Two of Herbert Hoover's teachers
at Leland Stanford, Jr., university are
now the directing heads of Swarth-
more-President Joseph A. Swain and
Vice President John A, Miller. They
have been kind enough TO give me,
through A. G. Thatcher of the Stand
ard Processing company, their recol-
lections of Hoover as student. DR..
Swain has also published in Every
body's magazine description Of Hoov-
er's undergraduating prowess.
Mr. Thatcher adds; One might,
with profit, point out the immense val
Tie of college training that takes hold
of lad Of IL earning $3.50 per day,
and helps him 10 years later to earn
as a mining engineer $4,000 per year.
What fine and typical career is this
of Herbert Hoover! As Emerson re-
marked. the republic is opportunity
Or. Miller says that Hoover was
pupil in his mathematics classes for
the freshman and sophomore years.
He had singularly mature sense of
values, rs to the important features
of the course.
As he had a living to make, he
played no large part in student activ-
tiles, but paid close attention always to
his classroom work.
In the last two years, and especially
the senior year, he was the most pow
erfu influence in the student life"
HE never talked much or made
many speeches, but if any proposal

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr. James IT, Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and un-
able 20 work.
He finally decided. after years of cease.
less study. that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated i'm
purities, commonly called uric acid
deposits. were dissolved In the joints
aud muscles and expelled from the body.
With this idea In mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and nm
ally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom Of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery 10 others
who took it, with what might be called
marvellous success. After years Of urg-
ing he decided TO let sufferers every
where know about his discovery through
the newspapers. y. Il. DanfOrth has
been appointed agent for Allenrhu On

ne will freely return the purchase money

1UST imagine your clothes wash
), ing themselves for you over
night
Imagine their washing themselves with
out any washing "aids" Whatsoever
no boiler, no wash-board, no scrub
brushes, pals and dippers-and no hard
work.
You just put your clothes TO soak
with a new soap product.
You have been told so often of prod
ucts that would wash your clothes
for you, of products that would get
the dirt out without any work on
your part, that the story of this new
product is going to be hard for you
to believe.
1t Is hard to believe that a simple
soap product, absolutely harmless,
can, just by a soaking overnight, so
loosen the dirt in your clothes that
when they are rinsed in the morn
ing, all the dirt comes out.
AS a matter of fact, if the overnight
soaking is inconvenient, three hours
soaking will accomplish the same
wonderful result.
Evening journal., 1920-08-19

Ali you have to do is to take then.
out and rinse theml
And they are snowy white and
cleanl Only a few very soiled
places, like cuff edges, need a light
rubbing between your hands.
That is what RINSO is doing for
thousands of women who have ale
ready secured it. 1t has changed
their whole wdy of washing.
And those same women felt as you
now feel, when they first heard of
RINSO'S wonderful results-they
couldn't believe it
And now they are like Mrs. Terry
whose letter is given here-they have
found that the old way of washing
is gone-and that the new RINSO
way of soaking your clothes clean
has entirely eliminated the hardest
work housewife has to do-wash-
day boiling and rubbing.
Use RINSO yourself this week-see how
it really soaks your clothes ciean-see if
you don't feel just as enthusiastic as Mrs.
Terry does.
Get RINSO today from your grocer, and
follow the simple directions on the pack
