HOOVER SEEKS
FOREST PEACE
BEFORE FIGHT
Will Leave InsiStent Bells
of Public Life Behind
for Solitude.
EAGER FOR FISHING
Prepares Tackle for Outing
Among RedWoodS of
California.
,By RAY TUCKER

PALO ALTO, Cal, July 25.-Her-
bert Hoover will steel himself for
the ordeal Of campaign crowds by
burying himself in the north woods.
AS If recognizing that he has moved
into an artificial world of cheers and
torchlight professions and platform
speeches, Hoover wants few days
of solitude.
In the giant redwoods he will re-
capture the solitude that long ago
drew him to the mines of the ST.
erras, the Australian mountains, the
wastes of China, and the Businesses
of Burma.
He wants to get away from the
bells, he admits he hates them. Up
in the isolated northern coast range,
where he will go, there are no tele-
phone bells, no jangling trolleys, no
factories, no life and noise. 1t is as
nearly a primitive place as can be
found.
Let's Forget Me
1t is miles from a town or tele-
graph Office. When the correspond
ents explained that lack of facili-
ties would prevent them from keep
ing the world informed about a
man who is big news" whether he
plays or works, he replied quietly,
"Oh, let's forget me and news for
a while, I'll show you some of the
finest country in the world and
give you a chance to fish in great
trout streams"
Hoover is uncomfortable before
a crowd, he is completely at ease
with few. His manner, his talk,
his face reveal his preference for a
snail group sitting about him on
his porch here or in his library.
His shyness disappears and his con-
verSation is stimulating and fas-
cinating.
Then his talk turns to homely,
simple things. He explains that his
real love of fishing springs from
his interest in the tackle. He has
a collection Of fishing lines and
hooks and flies and is still buying
new apparatus. He mourns the fact
that there are not enough modern
murder mysteries being written to
supply his demand.
From his beautiful Moorish home
he gazes down palm studded slopes
at the stations where he jumped off
thirty seven years ago with moth
ing but $14 to help satisfy his Gag
erness for education, recalling his
student days with wistful humor.
Welcomes Public Service,
Despite his shrinking from the de-
nands political campaigning makes
on him, another side Of Hoover well
comes this as necessary prelude to
perhaps more active part in public
affairs. Even before Belgium called
him, and the clamorous bells began
ringing in his ears, Hoover had
planned to abandon his mining ca
reer for one of public service.
HE told me in 1913," said DR.
David Starr Jordan, president en-
eritus of Stanford University, that
he was going to give up a 100000
year job so he could get into pub
lie life. Hoover said that mining had
come to mean only making some
more money and he was tired of it. >
So the opportunity that came in
1914 found Hoover not only waiting
but anxious.

DR.. j. w. Sales, head Of the de-

Tomato juice contains vita

"Non-alcoho1ic cordials are big

fallen off IN the last year, and
people are turning to old-fash-
