them for 20 years-mlllions of boxes Of
them. And everybody, in almost every
circle. sees the change. New beauty, new
health, new vitality.

Patronage PROBE
PLANS WILL STAND
Leaders Disclose There Is No
Present Intention to Set
Up More Committees.
RY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration leaders charged with
political patronage organization dis
closed yesterday that there is no pres
ent intention to set up any patronage
committees in addition to those already
functioning in New York State and in
process of organization in South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Texas.
There have been suggestions that
the administration might find it advis-
able to establish such committees in
Wisconsin and few other Republican
States where there are factions in the
Republican party, but 1t was stated
that there has been close cooperation
between George Wits. national COM
mitteeman. and other Republican lead
ers in the Badger State.
No Difficulties Anticipated.
The same situation exists in Ar
kansas, one of the additionally Demo-
cratic States Of the South. No diff
Guilty IS anticipated In the creation by
Republican leaders in Texas, Mississippi
and Alabama Of committees which will
be found satisfactory to the admins
tration committee. It consists of Post
master General Brown, Walter Newton,
administrative assistant to the Presi-
dent, and James Francis Burke, general
counsel of the Republican national
committee.
Glenn Skipper, national committee
man for Floridr, whose patronage Or
ganization has been found unsatis-
factory by the administration commit
tee. is in Washington for further con-
ferences in the effort to set up a new
committee, and some party leaders
from Georgia also have Just concluded
conferences looking to the setting up of
q new committee in their State. The
situation in South Carolina is described
as far from satisfactory.
Burke Outlines Aims.
Mr.. Burke said the administration
committee was interested In two
things-sslection of outstanding men
for appointment to public office and
the strengthening of the party In the
South. These would formulate the
test to be applied to committees set I'D
by local party leaders, he added.
In this connection, Mr.. Burke said
that II the local leaders could not agree
and set up rival organization, the COM
mittee Of which he was a member
would have to make its own selection
as between the candidates recommend
ed by those organizations.
H. Edmonds Machold, chairman of
the Republican State committee and
head of the triumvirate set up in New
York to handle patronage matters
conferred with President Hoover at the
White House late yesterday. He de-
clined to disclose the subject of the
conversation. but asserted that neither
the appointment of Federal district
Judge for the eastern district Of New
York nor the possible naming Of Charles
D. Hilles, national committeeman. as
Ambassador to France had been dis
cussed.

Italians Urge Naming
Boulder Canyon Dam
For Herbert Hoover
= BY the Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April
PA proposal that the Boulder
Canyon Dam be called the Hoo
yer Dam" in recognition of the
part played by President Hoover
as chairman of the Colorado
River Commission and his emf
nence as an engineer, has been
advanced by the board of gov
errors of the Salt Lake Chamber
Of Commerce.
A resolution adopted by the
board declares that the designa-

dam is meaningless and confus-

plication, inasmuch as the struc-
. ture is to be located in Black
Canyon, on the Colorado River,
and will be constructed of solid
masonry"
The resolution is to be forward
ed to the United States Bureau

Much Sound Wisdom
in Tagalog Proverbs

Following are proverbs of ancient
repute among the Tagalog people in
and around Manila: Nothing but rust
destroys iron. Thorns thrust deep
when the step Is swift. Though you
be far behind, wit may put you ahead.
A drunken man may be twitted with
impunity; not SO he who is awakened
from sleep. Noisy waters are always
shallow. Never seek fortune; If really
yours 1t will come of itself. Even
water-soaked wood will burn If left
long enough In tie fire. Repentance
never precedes the folly. The savings
OF today are the comforts of tomor-
row. Even a rag, put away In the
closet, will turn up for good use The
really wise will always shame him
who merely pretends to wisdom. A
small stool made of sound wood is
better than a bishops chair honey
combed with borers. When a pullet
begins laying eggs, chickens may be
expected. Criticize yourself before
doing so to others. Be the aim never
so exalted, the shaft goes no farther
than the strength of the archer. he
who spits at the sky gets the spray
in his face. Pounding wet rice in the
mortar only besmears the workman.

the American naval and military

equipped for eighty telephone lines
and forty trunks and tie lines to con
meet with the main city central Of
fees and with other Government de.
partments. The present one-position
switchboard which now serves forty.
three telephones is equipped for sixty
lines and twenty trunks and tie lines.
While the White House has had tele-
phone service for more than fifty
years, the first switchboard system
was not installed until 1901 and since
that time, except during the World
War period there have not been more
than eight or ten telephones con-
nected with 1t until the present ad-
ministration. Present indications
point to the fact that the telephone
will be called upon to play an i'm
portant part in the affairs Of govern.
ment under Mr.. Hoover, and the en-.
gineers of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company are plan
ming to install equipment that will in
every way meet all of his require
ments.
Not only are telephone facilities
being provided for the President In
the White House, but since he has
signified his intention of spending his
vacation periods in certain sections
of Maryland and Virginia, special tele-
phone installations have been made
or are now under way at at least two
of the recreation spots that he has
indicated will be used.
The first Of these telephones to be
installed was at Catoctin Manor near
Thurmont, Maryland. The othGA', q
fishing camp located on the headQuar,
tiers Of the Rapidan River in Madison
county, Virginia, requires more prep
aration and the telephone eompany's
forces are now engaged in construct
ing new pole line between Madison
and the Camp and in Strengthening
an existing line between Madison and
Orange over which two copper cir
cults are now being placed to connect
with the White House switchboard.
With these facilities there is nc
question but that the President of the
United States will be able to keep II
touch by telephone with the affairs
Of government as he wishes.
