20. Back from Europe with the
plaudits of the world ringing in
his ears, the democratic party was
looking for a successor to the
broken Wilson, who also had ser
we'd his two terms. Hoover could
have had the nomination, and, no
doubt, the election. He cast his
lot with the republican party, and
given the public following he had
then, nine out of ten average pol
iticians would have walked off
with the republican nomination
and the election. Hoover became
instead, secretary of commerce in
Harding's cabinet. He has lost in
part the popularity he had then,
but this endeavor will win some of
it back again.
John G. McGrath, who has I'M
doubtedly wasted more money
than any man living, has-would
you believe it-been retired on sal
airy for his life for his efficiency
in that respect.
McGrath, II years of age, has
closed his desk at the Treasury
department and surrendered his
duties to a younger man. AS the
chairman of the destruction com
mittee of the treasury depart
ment, he has supervised the des-
truction by fire and maceration of
billions and billions worth of torn,
WORKOUT and imperfect money He
has officiated at the obsequies of
more good money than you would
like to believe. He surrenders his
1uties to John F.. Moran, but it is
doubtful if Moran has the forti-

withstand complacently the des-
ruction of so huge a sum-.
The instruments over which Nc
irath held sway were big maeera-
ors and incinerators at the treas
Try department and the bureau of
ngraving and printing. Their

CLOSE-UPS in THE

(5y Stephen James,

Among the thousands of mixers
you will meet this year on the
highways and byways of this
country, one of them may be Louis
V Woulfe, aide to Secretary of
Asiculture Jardine. and to four
other secretaries before him.
Since 1918 Woulfe has $500
niles of vacation walking chalked
u9 to his credit. and he hopes to
extend that mileage materially
this summer when he gets his
month of vacation. His present
intention is to make Charleston
West Virginia, his destination
this summer. which will be one of
his shorter jaunts.
His first trip was to spartans
brig. South Carolina. In 1922 Chi
ego was his destination. when he
.overed 1872 miles. His next pil
rs was t. Portland. Maine !
fhich carried him 500 miles. while

hungry maws have eaten year af-
ter year the good money which all
of us strive earnestly to acquire.
To ashes and to pulp these great
sums have been consigned.
Many curious novelties are
made of the pulp into which our
paper money is ground. Some of
it comes to low estate. 1t often
times is used in shoes, while small
objects of art are made of the
pulp and sold by ~itinerant pedd-
lers.
Upon President Coolidge and
secretary of state Kellogg will de-
scend finally the question as to
whether our embassies in other
lands shall be built after the pat
tern of the White House at 1900
Pennsylvania Avenue. When first
suggested, the idea that our repre-
sentatives abroad be housed in
replicas of the executive mansion
in this country seems a bright and
happy idea. But due considera-
ton has given those in charge a
pause, and it is now doubtful if
Mr.. Houghton in London, Mr.. Her
rick in Paris, and all our ambas-
sailors and ministers abroad will
be fitted up with smaller replicas
of the presidents mansion. Arch
fleets have scoffed at the idea.
Nothing more incongruous can be
imagined, they say, than the
heavy substantial lines of this Ge-
colonial mansion sitting
among the cherry blossoms of
Japan and the frail and elaborate
buildings of that nation. Nor
would the building. they claim, be
suitable for the Latin countries,
where great square mansions with
or liner court, are the almost
Universal rule.

Herbert Hoover, hero to millions
in Europe, has never done a finer
job than that which he has under
way in the desolate and flooded
regions along the Mississippi.
Hoover, administrator extraor-
binary, has held out the hand of
mercy to people in more lands
than any other man living or dead.
Under Wilson's appointment, he
fed and clothed half of Belgium in
the drab days following the war.
and food and shelter for five mil
lion people in Poland and Russia
passed through his hands in his
role as relief agent in the months
and years after the armistice. 1t
would cen as though half the
world has received succor through
his good Offices. and now he min
listers to the relief of 500, 900 in
the Mississippi valley.
When the world war descended
upon a peace-lOving world. Hoover
was a comparatively young engi-
neer and administrator who had
travelled the far stretches of the
earth at the call of his profession,
but outside his own circle he was
little known. Among engineers he
stood with the best. Shortly af-
forwards he entered upon the er-
of mercy that has made his
name r~eyerenced and loved wher-
his mission has sent him.
Hoover is in many respects the
greatest humanitarian, and. out
side of politics, one of the great.
est executives this country has
produced.
His experiences abroad and now
home have worked a change in
he man. If you knew him before
raj he was round-faced. and
smooth of features. erect and
'prightly of step. The suffering
lie has witnessed has left it's mark
lpon his face. beginning to line
md scar a trifle for causes other
han age. The droop to his
hOulders and a head thrust for
a little give him an Atlas
ook, as though these tasks had
Weighed a little heavily on his
houlders.
If Hoover is our greatest angel
mercy, it always has seemed
} the writer that he is the worlds
orst politician, and certainly he
not tire foremost orator this
has produced. His plat !;
'rm addresses have improved. L
1t it is doubtful if his artifce as 7
politician &c any halter than It Z
as in those days around 1919 ard L
