WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

reorganization of Federal depart
ments. 1t is his contention that
the regrouping of Federal agen-
cies would result in enormous
savings to the taxpayers. His
program, if adopted, would re-
lieve the President of many de-
tails which were assigned to his
office in the stress of war time.
Unquestionably the ideas of Mr..
Hoover will be written into pro-
posed legislation when Congress
convenes next winter. However,
it will be a difficult matter to get
action from Congress as the en-
tire situation is loaded with poll
teal dynamite.
Official and social Washington
is manifesting more than usual
interest in advertising appearing
in newspapers and magazines.
The pulling power of testimonials
has long been recognized by pat
ent medicine vendors but it is
only of late that the producers of
toilet articles appealing to the
vanity Of women have seized up
on this method of publicity. For
several months their agents have
been angling for a signed testi-
monial from Princess Alice, as
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth is gen.
orally known.
Mrs. Longworth, aside from
being the wife of the new Speak
err of the House, occupies an envi-
able position with political lead
ers. She is practically the only
person in private life who listen
ed attentively to the prolonged
debate on the League of Nations
in the Senate and other national
questions. Her political judg-
ment is valued so highly that
Mrs. Longworth could earn enor-
nous fees as legislative counsel
if she so minded. 1t is said that
she inherits many of the charac-
teristics which made her father,
the late Theodore Roosevelt, such
great power in national affairs.
BY reason of her former posi-
ton as belle of the White House
during the Roosevelt regime,
Mrs. Longworth can do practi-
cally anything she pleases in the
line of advertising. Her social
position is assured. 1t is not the
money which attracts her to the
proposition to give her public en-
dorsement to face creams, ETC.,
for her husband, the Speaker of
the House. is a very wealthy
man. The combination of beauty
and brains is so rare that "Prin-
cess Alice" is indeed a distinct
personality in Washington.

Losses Reported.

Rabat, Morocco-French troops un-
der Colonel Freydenburg have had a
successful engagement against the
Moroccan forces along the Ouergha
river. An official statement tells Of
the capture Of Cara des Mizziat by his
army after fierce fighting. The enemy
forces were estimated at 5000 rifles.
"The enemy resisted desperately"
says the statement, but was thrown
back with heavy losses, despite coun-
ter attacks eliminating in hand-to-

Great activity Is noticed on the rebel
side and 1t is expected that Abd-El-
