HOOVER TO remain.
AS SECRETARY
Secretary of Commerce Desires
to Finish Plans for Reorgani-
zation of Department.

Misunderstanding Hoover has
decided to remain in the cabinet de-
spite various efforts by commercial
organization to secure his services.
The Secretary made his decision az.
ter President Coolidge had earnestly
requested that he remain in the ser.
vice OF the government.
Recently gossip about the capital
has included Mr.. Hoover's name in
the list Of those members OF the Pre-
sident's official family likely to go
out Of office when the new admin
stration begins on March f. The sec.
rotary himself has declined to make
any statement but it was learned that
he had informed Mr.. Coolidge of his
decision to stay.
The secretary, who took office as a
member Of President Harding's orig
inal cabinet in 1921, consented to take
the Commerce portfolio only after he
had been assured he would be given
free hand to reorganize the depart.
ment in such way as to make 1t
more responsive to the needs of the
commercial world. Much OF this re-
organization program has been put
into effect but Mr.. Hoover desires to
carry it on to completion.

MAJOR BEACH FOUND GUILTY
Former Veterans Bureau Official Was
Charged With Bribery.

Minneapolis-Ma Alfred Beach, a
former official in the United States
Veterans bureau, was found guilty of
accepting bride by jury which re-
ported to Judge John F. MCGEE in
United States district court.
Major Beach was dismussied from
the Veterans bureau in October of
last year. Witnesses made affidavits
that Beach had accepted $500 to speed
up the claims awards in the case. The
affidavit fixed November, 1922, as the
date Of the transaction and of the
settlement of claims. Indictments
against Major Beach were returned by
federal grand jury in April, 1924.
Major Beach, testifying in his own
defense, admitted receiving $235, but
said it was loan. He also testified
that as chairman of the board of ap-
peals at the Veterans bureau he did
not handle the claim.

Happy Bermuda Has No
Real Traffic Troubles

Ihere are no traffic police on duty
IN Bermuda, motor ears being pruhib-
tied by law. The police are a CON

however, with their natty blue uni

sleeve at the wrist. reminding one Of
the metropolitan police in London.
Those who 60 to Bermuda to rest

the various sights OF the Islands, such
as Tom Moore's house, Gibbs hill light
house, Cathedral rocks, the Leming-
ton cave and its stalagmltes, or going

or 40 feet to the bottom, says a Ber-

Every Wednesday there is a recep-
tion and 8 O'Clock tea at the gov
ernor house. to which all visitors to
the islands are welcome and the mill
tary band is on duty at some place or
other every day. One of the favorite
resorts is Elbow beach, on the south
shore, where there is only one narrow
strip of coral reef between The bathers
and the broad Atlantic. and waves
come rolling in sometimes 20 feet
high.
On account of the long narrow shape
of the island the distances are usually
inconvenient. For example, 1t Is six
miles from the principal hotels TO the
most popular golf links, and what with
transportation, green's fees, caddies,
luncheons, liquid refreshments and
tips, $40 a day wifi hardly cover the
expenses at either OF the more popu-
lar courses, Riddell's bay and fuckers

riage from Hamilton. and where the
links are not more than FIVE minutes
walk from the hotel, the green's fees
are only 81 a day for four persons.

Heart Is Injured by
Americas SUiff Pace

More deaths occur today In America
from various diseases OF the heart
than from any other cause, says the
New York Times. A few years ago
tuberculosis headed the list, but while
the number OF deaths from this Il
have been reduced, those from heart
trouble of various kinds have in
creased.
The decrease in the ravages Of
tuberculosis is explained by the great
educational campaigns carried on
throughout the country for combating
the evil and to improved sanitary con
ditions.
The increase In heart troubles is at
tributed largely TO the increasing pace
OF modern life in America. A decade
ago the death rate from tuberculosis
was 1892 per 100000. At that time
the death rate from heart troubles
was 1903. A recent survey showed
that while the rate for tuberculosis
has been reduced to 114.2, that for
heart disease has jumped TO 14l.9.
The highest fatality from heart dis.
ease has been found In Vermont, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts In the
order named. The lowest death rate
is reported in Montana. Mississippi.
Tennessee, Kentucky and Nebraska. II
is increasing in New York.
