Cabinet Making.

From Palo Alto comes word, on his
! own authority, that President-elect
Hoover has had no conferences rela.
tive to selection of his cabinet" 1t is
added that he docs not intend to holc
any until he returns to this country
from Latin America.
No doubt this is the literal truth
But between conferences about a cabi.

January, 1921, two months before his
inauguration, observed: Il think it will
be no indiscretion to say in reply to
your note that the choosing of a cabi-

1t is. 1t is one of the most perplex-
ing of the many big jobs Herbert Hoo
yer has ever tackled. He has nearly as
many hungry politicians to succor as he
had Belgians to feed fourteen years ago.
His plight does not differ from that

have been of Jacksonian origin, but 1t
long since became bipartisan gospel.
President-elect Hoover, despite his
well known dislike of the tricks of the
political trade, recognizes tnat ours is a
Government based upon the party sys-
tenn. The party system calls for patron
age, and patronage unfallingly causes
incoming Presidents perturbation un-

spring from the necessity tc reconcile
legitimate party obligations with estab-

It is a pleasure to return good for

how people take 1t.
1t is an infallible test.

others miss. since he is able to be at

icler Of events in his own mind.
Returning good for evil Is thus taken
out of the sphere of religious abstrac-
ton and placed squarely in practical
use In everyday life.
Those happy persons who can apply
this great rule and at the same time
keep in mind its religious significance

The first step in this interesting ap-

Choler has long been understood to be
one Of the greatest brakes on the pur-
suit of happiness. not only by individ-
uals but by nations. In every phase OF
international, national and personal
life the specter of anger lifts it's ugly
face, ready to throw discretion to the
out of what was the moment before a
reasoning man.
Thus the experimenter with good and
evil finds 1t necessary to rid his mind
of anger, if not wholly at least to an
extent unknown among those who live
simple animal lives 1t is because most
people live such lives that they are not
able to understand how the expert
menter can say and do certain things
entirely free from human anger. Un-
able to put themselves in similar situa-
tionS without anger, they declare that
no one else can do it.
Just as they have never deliberately
experimental along these lines, so they
also fail to disassociate such expert
menting from human anger and there
fore invariably give as the cause for
such experimenting the very thing that
played no part in it.

by the commission, in view Of the fact
that the Washington Rapid Transit Co.,

WOMEN in SPORT

Kathleen DOMAIN, captain of the all
English field hockey team which paid
brief visit to Washington yesterday
spoke on the development Of hockey at
the weekly luncheon Of the Women's
National Press Club at the A. A. u. W.
clubhouse on I street.
Miss Roman described the tremen-
dous growth in popularity of the game
since its introduction into England In
1898. She declared that today there
were over 1000 clubs af1iliated with the
Al-English Association, from which
number it might be said her team has
been picked as the representative stick
wielders. All-English teams have been
touring other countries each season for
the past decade, she declared, taking IN
every country in the world where hockey
is played. including Australia, America,
Tunasia,' South Africa and Ireland.
This is the second visit to the United
States paid by the EngliShwomen. On
the first occasion, a team captained by
Miss G. J. Gaskell, came here in 1921,
winning every match on its circuit this
side of the pond. In fact, no American
team has beaten an a1-EngliSh team In
the history of the game, which Is some
seven years older in England than it is
on this side.
Already, the Englishwon1en have de-
feated our all-American eleven on this

more's best In the Oriole City.
Their itinerary in America includes
trips to Chicago, New York and Boston,
where they will meet the picked squads
of these cities.
While the Americans have not yet
reached the degree of skill developed In
England. they are improving their play
consistently, according to the British
players and soon will offer stiff opposi-
ton if the sport continues to increase in

n YEW YORK, october 24.-The
East has too many ancient
VI feuds to renew this Saturday
4 to bother its head much with
intersectional warfare.
Only two Eastern representatives
will be pitted against opponents from
other sectors, Georgetown taking on
Duke, at Washington, while Holy Cross
entertains Marquette, at Worcester
Mass. Georgetown, which has rolled UP
more than 200 points against its first
four opponents, is an overwhelming fa-
vortte to defeat Duke. but Holy Cross
i1dely 1oited by Fordham last week, is
given scarcely an even chance against
Marquette which won last year, 1875.
:. The rest of the day is given over to
! intrasectional combat, Involving in some
instances rivals of long. standing.
Yale and Army, both unbeaten and
united, clash at New Haven in their
twenty eighth meeting This series,
which has developed into one of the
East's leading foot ball spectacles, be-
gan in 1898.
Dartmouth Is Favorite.

by ARMY. for the thirty-fifth time. at

1882. Harvard had all the best Of it
for more than a score of years, but
Dartmouth, in recent seasons, has been
cutting down the advantage. Perform
ances to date indicate. another Dart
mouth victory. Dartmouth won last
year, 3o-6.
Princeton and Cornell, yearly rivals
from 1891 to 1907, will battle at
Princeton for the eighteenth time. This
rivalry was interrupted after 1907 until
last season when relations were re-
sumed, Princeton earning a 21-10 vic
tory. This year both have undefeated
records to maintain, although the
Tigers have been tied by Virginia.
Syracuse, beaten by Nebraska last
week. meets Penn State, which, de-
feated by Bucknell and Pennsylvania,
hopes to turn the tide. Experts can't
see it that way.
Pitt and Carnegie Tech have en-
gagged in many thrilling fray for the
Pittsburgh City championship and 1t
will be strange If either wins by more
than touchdown Saturday.
Navy Little Considered.
Penn and Navy clash at Philadelphia
In their thirteenth game since 1888. 1t
will be one of the few times when Navy
will take the field against Penn con-
oeded virtually no chance of winning.
Gettysburg tackles traditional rival
Bucknell. which in recent years has
jumped into the major college class so
far as foot bah ratings go. Bucknen
won its first three games, defeating
Penn State among others, and then
battled Lafayette to a scoreless tie last
Saturday
Lafayette can expect no rest against
West Virginia, which at the moment
seems to have about as strong an aggTe-
CATION as any in the East. Since the
first game defeat by Davis and Elkins
the Mountaineers have come to the
front in amazing fashion, defeating
West Virginia Wesleyan, the Haskell
Indians, Pittsburgh and Washington and
