Her "Favorite."
A little blond-haired girls favor

A little blond-haired girls favor
ite" picture of herself, showing her
dressed as a bride in a school play,
proved SO distracting to Herbert Hoover
that he laid aside a mass of important
business to write her a personal message
on a picture of himself which she had
asked him to autograph.
The young lady in the case Is 7-year-
old Mariana Evans, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs Joshua Evans, jr.. of 3405 Lowell
street. Her father is vice president of
the District National Bank and her
mother the only woman member of the
board of directors of George Washing

desk He swept the pile of letters and
documents and things aside. picked up
the picture and the letter accompany

also was photograph of Hoover and

wanted autographed. The letter ex-
planned that Mariana was thrilled by
that picture of Mr. Hoover and Tut

had told her mother she wanted Moth
ing so much as to have one suitably
autographed.
Mr.. Hoover autographed the picture,

SMITH INACCURATE,
SAYSNEN IN REPLY
Misinformed en- Actual Costs
of Government, Declares
Postmaster General.
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., October "a
In a political speech here last night
Postmaster General New answered at
tacks on the Republican record by Gov
Smith in his Sedalia, Mo-, address. He
charged that the Democratic candidate
had been mfsinformed as to actual costs
of Government, and had given "ab-
solutely inaccurate" figures
Defending his own department, which
Gov. Smith criticized for owning nu-
merous unoccupied post office sites
throughout the country. Mr.. New said
the greater part of these we're purchas-
ed during the Wilson administration.
He then reviewed activities Of the de
partment in constructing new post
Offices listing several under construc-
ton or contract in New York State, in
Missouri and sections referred to by
Gov. Smith.
Cites Debt Reduction.
This Republican administration has
reduced public debt by six and a halt
billion dollars, he said netting saving
of almost 100000, 900 annually in in
terest charges.
Quoting recent assertion by John J.
f6dSkOD, D6HOCTaJlC naL1Onal COmm1Ltee
chairman, that Republican prosperity
is largely mythical. Mr.. New cited the
growth of the General Motors Co
which, ne said had its securities rise
in market value from 1865 378, 266.50 or
the day President Coolidge was in
augurated to $3,961. 172,412 on October
is. 1928. en- increase of 9aa per cent
Does Mr. Raskob consider this evil
,dence of hard times?" he asked.
Replies to Ridicule.
Mr. New dwelt at length on Gov
Smiths ridicule of savings accomplished
by Budget Director Lord in removing
blue stripes from mail bags While he
quoted Gov. Smith as saying that re-
moval of the stripe saved the Govern
ment $4,000 in one year. Mr.. New de-
clared thai the saving had been $685.
! 177.45 for the three years past and
would be over $4,000 for the current
year.
He also denied a shortage of mai
bags in Chicago last Christmas, which
| he said Gov. Smith charged, and added
that the governor had changed a saving
of over S500000 into a loss of the same
amount in discussing the replacement Of
rented furniture with post-office -ownec
| equipment
