 With a republican victory in No vember, q new type in the long line of presidents wives would come to preside as mistress Of the White House.
 Herself a graduate g"ologist. Mrs. a scientific knowledge akin to that of her mining engineer husband. She has not only shared his iourn.yings to farlhcs, Russia and Mongolia but his work and interests as well. She is president of the Womcn's Auxiliary Of Mining and Meteorological En- ginoers of America.
 Shares Husbands spirit
 She shares with her husband also a certain pioneer spirit that her friends have hundred stories 10 illustrate. In Tientsin. for example, when a, q bride Of three months she was caught in the Boxer uprising. she unhesitatingly took charge of the hospital in the American com pound Again, here at home. when an automobile slid dangerously near a precipico. she refused 10 make any move to escape until she knew the friends who accompanied her were safe.
 Born in Waterloo. Iowa, educated in California and widely travelled she would bring to the N hite House not only a heritage of culture from a long line of American ancestry. but quired in social contact in many parts of the world.
 She is admirably fitted for the difficult role of successor 10 Mrs Coolidge whose famous smile has won for her t unique niche among White House ladies.
 Her College Romance
 Something more she has in con- mon with Mrs. Coolidge is her col lege romance. The present first lady Amherst and Miss Lou Henry and Herbert Hoover studied geology to- gether at Leland Stanford.
 The foundation for that study oi geology and for many of the other most characteristic things in her life such as her frequent camping witt her husband and sons. or her leader. ship Of the Girl Scout movement was the great love for the out of doort that she acquired in her girlhooe camping trips with her father fl California.

 Herbert Hoover, republican nom- inee for the presidency. is one of the few great world war figures for whom peace has meant expansion of power and prestige rather than eclipse.
 Whatever fortune may come 10 him in November, heretofore the feet of a boy orphaned a half cen tury ago in an Iowa hamlet have held consistently to pathway trending ever more spectacularly up- ward.
 It is not only America that has known Hoover. but Burma and Aus Erals in Russia and the hungered hordes of the European world war, for whom he meant food and shel- ter.
 At Capital Eight Years
 For eight years now he has sat In Washington, most if the time a cabinet officer constantly on exhibi- tion but yet remaining an inscru- table figure. He is bulky man big particularly as to his hands with a round face. relieved only by the long rise of his forehead. Ht is customarily garbed in quictei shades of blue.
 While politicians usually reacf automatically for the personal con. tact, Hoover. after years in the at. mosphere, withdraws quite obviously when the personal note Is introduc- ed. Nevertheless he is a man of warm friendships and of magnetic personality.
 A Hoover asset is the fact that practically always working himself he meets other people in connection with the job and he deals undeniably well with the problem in hand, most always grasping others points ol view in advance. The delegation congressman led, approaching the commerce department on some mat. ter of local or general importance is usually talking admiringly.
 Is Hard Worker
 Hoover works harder than most people. reads late into the night. and takes his writing most seriously some times bringing out delightful humor. For fun, he fishes and is dis.

 The republican nominee generally

 but he gets down 10 real work about

 men at the top find that they can formulate their decisions best when
 the doors are closed and the tele-
 phone is switched off.
 Still another faculty of Hoover Is
 to attach men to his cause with
 bonds of steel. In every Hoover en- terprise-and there are myriad of
 them afoot since the secretary Of commerce took his job-groups of
 enthusiastic volunteers work away at ! top speed, endlessly and happy. He has created lieutenants, in spired and enthusiastic and prideful l The ties he creates stand much
 strain; for behind his habitual inn | passiveness is most surely a sensitive
 and tempered nature.
 Outwardly the open acknowledge ment Of his presidential aspirations
 in 1928 made small difference in the 1 Hoover routine and the campaign or ganization work was taken in the stride developed by years of pilotng great human groups. One sign of the
 attention he was giving the subject however was q new restraint upon all his public expressions.
 | The assurance that "Hoover is no politician" so frequently voiced in the camps Of his enemies. has now been tested by the roll call of re-

PEKING WILL NOT
 BE THE CAPITAL
Nationalists Remove Headquar-
 ters to Nankin6, China

Peking. June IS Ps-The na- ,ionalist ministry of communica- tons at Ranking has ordered the Picking directorate of posts to re- move to Ranking, the southern capital.
 It is understood that the foreign office in Picking also is being closed and that the administration may be transferred to Ranking or closed down.
 Ever since the nationalists and their allies captured Picking, there has appeared little disposition on ment at Ranking 10 set up its ex- .cutive offices in the historic north orn capital. There have even been rumors that the southerners might abandon Peking as the capital of China and again make Ranking the central city Of the nation.
 Ranking is the old classical ca pi- tai of South China. having been the seat of government successively of the six dynasties between the fourth and sixth centuries. before 1t was made the capital Of new dynasty under the Mings in 1868.
 Honorary Title
 The name Ranking. or southern capital, was an honorary title from Emperor Yung-Lo.
 Under the Manchu dynasty Man. king became the seat of govern ment for the yiceroy of kiangsu. Anhwei and Kiangsi. A provisional! republican government was set up there in 1911. but the capital Of the Chinese republic was later fixed at Picking. The nationalists made Ranking their capital shortly after the capture of Shanghai.
 Were the nationalists to abandon Picking as a capital and transfer the center of their government they would be following in the footsteps Of soviet Russia, which left the new capital established by Peter the Great and returned in 1918 to the historic capital. Moscow.
 Constantinople is another capital which has been deserted by it's new government. But Mustapha Kemal elected to go to an unknown in- terior town. Angora, instead Of the historic capital of Broussa. where so many of Turkeys sutans are buried. city of more than 100 mosques, rich with the best tradi- tions of old Turkey.
 Deserted Pctrograd Soviet Russia deserted Petrograd, now Leningrad. to get away from foreign pressure which might be brought through navies. The Turk ish natioualists were inufenced also by the same motive. but if China were to transfer from inland Picking to Ranking it would expose it's seat of government to warships on the Yangtse, which is navigable for ocean-going steamers 500 miles above Ranking. But by transferring to Ranking the Chinese nationalists would get their government further away from Manchuria. always the most formidable military province. | The Manchus and other invading forces from the north caused the erection of the great wall with which China hoped to check the ''barbarians" from the north.
 With the Chinese government re- moved to Ranking the United States would be left with an un. necessary legation property on its hands. The only ground the United States owns in China is the lega. ton compound in Picking which was given to the United States un. der the settlement of the Boxer troubles.
