in the Mississippi Valley have cram
med his brain with a seemingly mex
haustible supply Of interesting recol-
lections.
THE recent presidential campaign
added a fresh increment to this
supply. Politics was new field of ad-
venture for him and 1t proved to be a
most interesting one. There were
whimsicalities attached to campaign
ing that appealed to the Hoover sense
Of humor, and he finds pleasure in re-
fiecting upon them In conversation with
other veterans of the campaign. He
told a few good ones" to his van
pushed opponent, AL Smith. when the
latter paid him a visit In Florida some
weeks ago and he laughed with the
Happy Warrior" over some of the lat
terg experiences.
President Hoover's ability to lay aside
completely the cares of his Office when
it comes time to relax is a characteris-
tic that has proved boon to his health
in the past, and that should stand him
in good stead in the burden laden role
of President. He enters office in per-
feet health, blessed with an appetite in
need of restraint and favored by a
happy capacity for sleep when night
time comes. He intends to step out of
the White House in the same good
physical condition.
II he adheres to past routine, he will
be out of bed at or every morning
and down to breakfast less than half
an hour later. He has resumed his
previous practice of going through some
setting-up exercises before the morning
meal although 1t is something of an
ordeal for him to do so. An expanding
waistline has caused him to curb the
cravings of his appetite from time to
time, even to the point Of passing up
the intriguing dish of sailed peanuts or
almonds which is a mealtime weakness
For breakfast the President has
hankering for the well known ham,
and-eggs combination, preceded, per-
haps by half a grapefruit or a glass of
orange juice. Luncheon may consist of
cold sliced meats, crispy salad, pototo
chips and some cool drink like iced tea,
orangeade or grape juice, or 1t may run
to more substantial foods, such as
broiled chops or small steak, with
stewed vegetables, French fried potatoes
and tea or coffee. Supper will call for
turkey or chicken or roast meats, with
all the trimmings.
The President is easy to cook for.
they say He is not finicky about his
meals He eats heartily and rapidly,
often being the first one through at the
table In addition to his regular meals
he is apt to send for an iced orangeade
or fruit punch In midafternoon, espe-
cially In warm weather.
The Hoovers rarely eat their meals
alone. Nearly always there Is at least
one guest for luncheon or supper. and

as 80 trains an hour can be put through
stations like the Grand Central or
Times Square stops. That means a

the time taken to load and unload pas

Virginia and Maryland highways prob
ably will be substituted for the hikes.
The President and the First Lady are
not what might be termed inveterate
theatergoers. They derive enjoyment
from good movie or stage show, how
ever. and undoubtedly will be seen in
the local theaters from time to time
On board the U. S. S. Maryland and
the Utah during the South American
trip Mr.. Hoover rarely sat through the
whole movie show, leaving, as a rule
after the news reels and educational
features had been run Off Mrs. Hoover
usually remained for the entire per-
Torrance. Mr.. Hoover stayed to the
end one evening when Ben Hur" was
shown, however.
THE President is amused by a lively
comedy. either on the screen or on
the stage. It Is said the favorite actors
include Douglas Fairbanks and Will
Rogers. He has laughed heartily at
monograph records by the 1.-TWO Black
Crows"
The radio long has held an important
place in the Hoover home. There are
expensive models in the White House
and in the Palo Alto house. They are
on much of the time when the Hoover
children are around, and their parents
like to listen to special programs OF
music, speeches, etc.
Mr.. Hoovers only pet is Tut. a beau
tiful police dog given him several years
ago by friend. Tut is becoming ac-
customed gradually to his new sur
roundings at the White House. and is
up to his old tricks again. These in
clude bringing his master the morning
newspaper and then sitting cozily beside
his chair while he reads the latest news.
Tut also is credited with ability to re-
trieve sections of the paper when a
breeze scatterS them around the room,
and to sit on them when they are COL
lected to prevent them from blowing
away again.
Tut narrowly escaped having South
American wild cat as companion In
the White House kennels. One of the
Marines on the Maryland gave Mrs.
Hoover an untamed tiger-Striped speci-
men of the feline family. called an
ocelot, which he had captured in the
mountains of Nicaragua, but its be-
havior was so disconcerting that Mrs
Hoover had to return the cat to Its
previous owner. She also returned a
monkey which refused to behave under
leash.
Tut is cared for by Kosta Boris, Mr..
Hoover's indispensable valet and fac
totum, who has been a faithful men,

days. Boris, a tall. pleasant-faced
native of the Balkans. first came to

relief work in Europe during and after
the World War, and he has been with
him ever since.

This does not mean that President
Hoover does not enjoy a good story,
nor that he does not do little remi-
niscing himself when among close
friends.
AS matter of fact, one of his keen
delights is to settle back into a chair
after supper, light cigar or pipe and
talk over old times with his guests OF
the evening. He is an easy converse
tionalist. 1t has been said there is NOT
a subject in the world he cannot dis

r TIE may be a robot when there is
IL work to 90, but Americas new
President Is just packed full OF
i L everyday emotions and homely
traits when business ceases to
call him.
The fact that Herbert Hoover is
glutton for work has tended to give
those unacquainted with him the i'm
preston that he is an apathetic auto
maton, actuated by a machinelike
brain.
He likes work, yes, but he also relishes
recreation.
The kind Of work that appeals to
him. moreover, is not that inspired by
thoughts of self-aggrandizement, but by
an unaffected desire to serve. One
needs but to look In retrospect upon his
record to satisfy himself of that II
takes more than a self-centered brain
to sacrifice opportunities Of wealth for
opportunities of service-to forsake the
heights of professional success for the
Sloughs Of human misery left by war,
famine or flood.
An automaton conceivably might
have achieved organization OF the great
relief agencies with which the name Of
Hoover has been identified, but GER
tainly no automaton could have
breathed into them the compassion
which made of them the living organ
isms they were.
A little incident that happened dur
ing the Mississippi food will serve to
illustrate how Mr.. Hoover, by personal
example, injected the essential spirit OF
human kindness into those vast or
Plantations.
The mighty river was at the height
Of its rampage. Scores Of thousands Of
valley residents, driven from their
homes by the rising waters, were clus-
tered In makeshift refugee camps at
Memphis, Natchez, Vicksburg and other
concentration points. Relief funds were
being doled out by the millions, and the
end of the emergency was not in sight.
small group OF Red Cross ofhcials
was assembled around council table TO
discuss the mounting problems OF relief.
At the head of the table sat the Presi-
dents personal representative In the
food emergency, Secretary OF Commerce
Hoover Pencil in hand, he listened
intently and made notes as one after
another Of the relief workers recounteo
their troubles.

Sir Alfred plans to fight the

for seats will be approximately
$3.50, and Sir Alfred says he win
put on big musical comedies.
Larger theaters with lower
