HOOVER PLANS
, BACK. PORCH
VOTE CAMP AIGN
AII Preparations will Be
Drafted at His Resi-
denCe.
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June l8.-Her-
bert Hoover today planned tenn
porary "back-porch" campaign for
the presidency.
The Republican nominee is con-
terring with political leaders at his
Office this week. But the real cam
paign will be directed from the
back-porch of Hoover's S st. home.
On this spacious porch Hoover
will meet his lieutenants. All plans
and ideas will be drafted there. The
"back-porch" campaign will be
opened tonight. Hoover will meet a
number of his aids who were a.
Kansas City.
Hoover conferred today for thirty
minutes with Representative John
@. Tilson (ConnecticuG, the Re-
publican House floor leader.
Tilson said they talked campaign
procedure and that details could not
be made public.
Atterbury Is Caller
w. w. Atterbury, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad; Ogden
Mills, undersecretary of treasury;
Secretary of War Davis, and Elwood
Cox, head of the Hoover committee
in North Carolina, we're other call
: ers.
; Hoover lunched with Secretary of
interior Work.
Congratulatory kilograms and let
tiers continued to arrive. One today
was from Senator Golf (Rep) West
Virginia, who was defeated for the
nomination.
Golf wrote that he had wired
Hoover congratulations the day
after the nomination and that the
message must have been lost. He
said he will return home to go on
the firing line for Hoover and
Curtis
Number of letters we're received
from West Branch, Iowa, Hoover's
birthplace, asking him to come
there to be officially notified of his
nomination.
May Not Quit Job
Those close to Hoover said there
is a possibility the secretary may
continue as head of the Commerce
Department until March 4, regard
less of the November election.
The question of his resignation,
however, has not been definitely de-
cided. He may resign in a few
weeks.
Hoover is expected to decide this
and other important questions after
a conference with a committee
from the Kansas City convention
which meets here Thursday
A luncheon has been arranged
for Hoover and Senator Curtis, vice
presidential nominee, and the COM
mittee at the Willard Hotel June
81 at noon.
Curtis is expected here Tuesday
Hoover spent quiet Sunday and
did not discuss politics with the
handful Of callers who visited his
home.
The nominee attended the SER
vices at the Friends Meeting House
No CommOtion at Church
Hoover was late. A congregation
of eighty-six had assembled at the
Quaker church and prayers were
being read when the churchs most
distinguished parishioner walked in
with Mrs Hoover, Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Hoover, IT, and Allan
Hoover.
Only few glances were directed
toward the nominee. Bible reading
continued. After services, the Hoo
vers we're surrounded by the congre-
cation and showered with congrat-
ulations.
Hoover retired early Sunday night,
so he could reach his Office by 9
a. m. today to meet James w. Good,
Iowa, his pre-campaign manager,
and other political leaders.

BUILDERS CENTER
ON COACH WORK
Manufacturers Stress Color !
and Lines in Cars of
This Year.

AS like bcgets liks. the great increase
in variety and beauty OF standard auto
mobile body designs during the past
wear has increased rather than dimir1-
isfed interest In custom coachTork,
according to H. NJ Stevens, and auto
motive sales manager.
In the standard lines OF bodies, un.
doubtedly there never vas time when
manufacturers we're Offering so much
as they are today. There are more
body styles, more color combinations
and a greater variety Of upholsteries.
Yet the current activities of custom
coach builders are evidence OF an In
creasing desire 10 express personal pref
erences through the choice Of custom
body. Items apparently small in them
selves inpart to the finished car the
some individuality that Is contributed
to drawing room through the choice
OF furnishings and decorations.
Choices In Color.
individuality is expressed in CUSTOM
built coach work. possibly in the choice
Of color for the body or in an unusual
stripping. It may be little change In
the design of the body, the pitch Of
the cushions, the interior appointments
or a" certain combination of cloth,
leather and Carpeting. expressive of the
owners own ideas Of harmony and prac-
ticability. When completed, the Car
expresses the owners personality As
much as Goes the home which he has
designed a1d built.
The new trend toward greater US.
Of custom coach work is plainly evident
in the national custom body builders
salons. For many years there have
been but two OF these national exhibits
--one in New York and one in Chicago
Last year Los Angeles vas added t
the list, and this year San Francisc,
will be included.
Space Insufficient.
At the New York and Chicago sclons
space was far short of exhibitors de.
mands, and exhibitors are hoping fol
more space in 1928 There IS a greater
number of exhibitors clamoring FOL
accommodation and individual exl1ibi.
tors are also asking for larger display
quarters.
AS further indication OF the new
trend, during the national automobile
shows, two exhibitors of cars in tn:
middle price field we're Offering town
cars at prices which brought them int
the upper price ranges. The period o
great prosperity in which We are liyifl,
is making 1t possible for greater mum.
bers TO crafty this desire for SELF
expression and the progress which has
been made by American custom bod
builders in combining beauty with
practicability has resulted in turning
much attention to the American
products which formerly went to
European carrosserie.

Non.Skid Paving
Found by French
In Process Stone

Development of non-skid paving
has been reported in Nice. French
engineers had tried nearly every
thing on test reads before finding
that a new artificial stone" being
tried out on the streets OF Nice will
answer the purpose.
These yellowish composition stones
9 By Al, by 3 inches. are laid diago-
naily. like cobhlestoncs, but with the
Joints cemented with a tar mixture.
The life of the pavement Is eEti-
mated at IS years, and experiments
have shown that the artificial blocks
are more durable than cobblestones
and. above all. wear down without
becoming slick and slippery.
The cost there Is estimated at
s285 square yard.

CAREFUL HANDLING
URGED FOR new CARS
Bearings and Parts Must Be
Smoothed Out in First
500 Miles.

''The first 500 miles or 50 is the most
important period in the life CT new
automobile, and the manner in which
the car is driven at that stage de-
tcrmines to large extent the kind ~
future service 1t will give.
THE parts Of new Ger are carefully
and accurately made, but just rs pair
Of new shoes must be broken in before
fitting comfortably, so these new parts
must also BE- adjusted in order to func-
tion properly.
High points on the bearing must be-
smoothed out. tool and grinding marks
gradually worn away, high polish
acquired"
This is the statement OF David Gregg,
research engineer. who proceeds TO give
some expert advice about breaking IN
new automobiles.
To quote Gregg in pert:
first, follow explicitly the manu-
fac.urcr's directions for the 'brea,sing :
in period, which usually is 500 miles
After this period, and when the engine
il warm occasionally accelerate up tn
40 or IS miles an hour. Immediately
the specdOmcter registers 40 or IS slow
down to around G5 miles an hour. This
enables the oil to circulate freely among
the moving parts.
The short bursts Of speed permits
the parts to become accommodated to
full load operation without danger Of
burning or sticking. which might occur
with continued high soccd running.
at the end of the first 1000 miles
the car should be driven back to the
dealer fer a complete check. See that
the valve adjustment is correct. the
compression even in all cylinders, the
distributor contact points checked. The
operation Of the steering gear ard
alignment of the front wheels should
be checked, and be sure the nuts which
hold the wheels on the rear eyle are
tight and without sign of loosen2ss.
"A car properly broken in end regu-
larly checked at a good service station
should give many thousands of miles
OF carcfree operation at minimum OF
expense"

"Gloomy Glen" Thistlethwaite,
with a well perfected overhead
game. is asking for a dry field when
he sends his light. speedy backs
against the powerful Iowa forward
wall.
With an aerial game that has men,
aced every team met this year,
Northwestern is expected to flip
passes with the same degree OF &C
curecy when the Wildcats meet In
diana at Bloomington. A passing
machine built around Captain Walt
Holmer has completed better than
80 per cent Of its attempts.
Indiana. weak on the overhead
game, will match Northwestern's
varied attack with a running attack
centered around one Of the best sets
Of backs in the conference. Often

back in the lineup as will defen-

Given only an outside chance of
