Is President Hoover 60
ing to make popular another
"less"-this time a Vaca-
tion-less summeri
Under his inspiration the
American people grew proud
Of their sef-restraint in
their meat-less, sugar-less
days Of the World War.
So, perhaps the Cabinet
and other high officials will
point with pride, in the
years to come, to a vacation
less summer spent in Wash
ington, following the lead OF
the Chief Executive.
Escape
Should Congress recess, Vice
President Curtis would be able
to get away without feeling that
he was leaving important duties
behind. He may do this. And
then again he may spend most
of the summer here with his
brother-in-law and sister, Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Everett Gam.
The latter have an attractive
house and garden in Cleveland
Park, which they plan to use FREE
uuentIy for week-ends. mean
while keeping their apartment
at the Mayflower.
Mrs. Gam adores to putter
about her garden, which is very
lovely. And for the house she
will have summer hangings put
up and some wicker furniture
put in--and then it will be q
fine place to "picnic" when the
I'D o wntown" Of the Capital
warns up.
Wives Away
The majority of the Cabinet
wives will be away from Wash
ington during the warm weather
while their husbands will Enger on.
Only the Secretary of the In
terror, Ray Lyman Wilbur. will
be absent any length OF time. He
has gone to attend the Oil con-
servation conference in Colorado
Springs, Col, and will make an
inspection tour of reclamation
projects and national parks in that
section-not returning to Wash
ington until the latter part OF
July.
This will be a vacation only In
the sense that a change OF work
means recreation. Mrs. Wilbur
has accompanied him and win re-
main in their home in California
throughout the summer. -
Mrs. Stimson, who was here Tor
a few days, will remain in the
North until autumn. Mrs. Mitchell
and her mother. Mrs. Bancroft,
will go to the Mitchell place at
White Bear Lake, Mimi. where
they will be Joined by the Mitchell
sons, and perhaps later the Attor-
ney General may be able to slip
away for a short stay.
Mrs. Lamont will be in Lake
Forest, ILL.,, most of the summer.
Mrs. Hyde is already in Missouri,
where she will stay until fall.
Mrs. Jimmie" Davis and her
five children will be established at
Atlantic City, where Secretary
Davis will be able to visit them
frequently for week-ends.
In Capital
Mrs. Good, Mrs. Adams and
Mrs. Brown will probably. remain
in Washington with their hus.
bands. The Secretary OF War and
Mrs. Good have a delightful sub
urban place-the former home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Porter
Davidson, on the Rockville Road.
The Secretary of the Navy ana
Mrs adams have just moved
into the house at 1928 r St., next
door to the house they purchased
at 1921 r st. and which they
hope to have in hvable condition
by autumn.
Secretary and Mrs. Adams will
slip off to New England for
brief yisits-so that the former
can get in a little yachting.
The Postmaster General and
Mrs. Brown are established at
the Wardman Park Hotel. And
unless the Postmaster General
can get away for a, vacation it is
doubtful If Mrs. Brown will go
without him.
Supreme Court
The Supreme Court will take
summer leave as usual. for while
Cabinets and Congresses come
and go, the Supreme Court need
take no thought for the morrow
their tenure being for life. If de-
sired-and consequently a regu-
larity characterizes the routine or
their official life.
Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft
will try to get away this week for
their summer home at Murray
Bay. Canada.
Justice Holmes, the senior on
the bench, again will spend the
summer holidays at Beverly
Farms, Mass. The SS-year-old
jurist. with his strong attachment
for books and study. needs but
little other recreation and spends
his summers quietly.
This will be his first summer
without Mrs. Holmes, who died
few months ago.
The other Bay State member,
Justice Brandeis, maintains a sum.
