RAY LYMAN WILBUR
 PERSONAL CHOICE
Secretary Of Interior Close
 Friend Of President '.

Washington, Aug. i28 LP}-In mak- ing Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur his sec retary of the interior, President Hoover brought into his official family an intimate friend md proven executive.
 A big job was ahead of the man named to the interior post, for that department long had been under fire in and out of congress on a'- count of the naval oil leases; the administration of the land laws ara the handling of Indian affairs. Tn such a circumstance friends of the President regarded it as only na- tural that this appointment would be purely personal one.
 Both natives of the sameaState. Iowa, the President and the new in terior secretary enjoyed a frienu- ship that has endured from their under graduate days in Lelard Stanford, Jr., university. When Hoover stepped from a trans Atlantic liner at New York, i row Wilson to undertake the task of food administrator the tall, an- gular figure of Wilbur was one of the first to catch his eye. Wilbur volunteered for service and directed much of the work of ! inducing the American housewife to do her part toward winning inc war by conserving food
 Dr. Wilbur then was president of Stanford university, d post fer which Hoover, as trustee of that school, had helped select him. Drr. ing the years of Hooyers service as commerce secretary and in the Presidential campaign the two met | frequently.
 The university president mad some definitely formulated ideas as | to what the government ought to | do about oil conservation, tie ] handling of the Indian problem 4nd the administration of the interior | department generally and these { ideas coincided very closely with those of the new President.
 After the election Dr. Wilbur oh- tained two years leave of absence | firm Stanford, came to Washington | and was given a free hand 10 re-
 organize the interior department i and to put to the test of practical experience the plans he had rormr- lated in years of study and obser- yation.
 The result has been the promul- gation of the oil conservation poli- Cy under which new prospecting ! on public lands has ceased; a re- organization of the Indian Bureu. and the carrying forward of pr.,- gram of removing the Indians from the classification of wards aud i placing them in the social strHc-
 ture of the country.
 Close friends of the interior soc-
 retary have indicated that when he
 has completed the job he set to,
 himself in the interior departmcn.
 Dr. Wilbur will resign within about
 a year and devote much of his
 time to pacific relations in the 'ole
 of unofficial ambassador for his
 friend, the President of the Unirco
 States.

POOR PEONS EARN
 TOO SMALL WAGES
Cannot Exc Out Bare Living on
 DininutiYe Pay Received

Mexico City, Aug. 2S P)-Pubh- cation of the industrial survey made by the Department of Industry, Commerce and Labor showed that the daily average wage of peons in more than 400 sections of the coun- try ranged from 12 to 25 cents in American money.
 Furthermore the report showed that about 35 per cent of the labor ing class was required to toll beyond the legal limit of working hours daily and that it was those who worked longest that received the least.
 The investigators report stated flatly that the small pay given to workers was sufficient for bare liv- ing under present conditions in Mex ico, even though food which peons eat is usually cheap.
 Labor conditions were found to be worst in the mountainous min ing regions and in some isolated az ricultural sections. In the somewhat more advanced industrial sections 1t was revealed that workers received slightly more pay, though barely enough for existence.

Poisoned War Veteran"
 Only Intoxicated Hobo

Norwalk, Aug. 2S R>-A breath from the Civil war here today proved to be but short gasp when Norwalk police investigated the identity of an S9-year-old man claiming to be Colonel Charles Breckenridge of New Rochelle.
 The "colonel" was picked up by Roton Point park policeman whom he told that he had taken poison.
 At the Norwalk hospital the poi son turned out to be a most mod ern kind-white mule. It did a good job on the aged "colonel,' however and even if he was a real colonel he would find it difficult to attend the meeting of the 2Sth regi- ment, Connecticut volunteers, at the local resort.
 A message to the New Rochella authorities stripped the "colonel' oi his chevrons. He is Hank Stepp, member of the New York city hoho colony, the reply to the Norwalk department stated.

 Another section of the village will have residences portraying various styles of crude architecture of the early times.
 In "Menlo Park" streets will bear the same names, buildings, trees and shrubbery will occupy the same loca- tions as in the original town. All the Edison buildings TOW are in place in Dearborn.

 The Fort Meyer laboratory. ir which Edison, worked 40 years stands next to the Jordan house.
 Ford will bring six inches of soi l from Menlo Park New Jersey. tc | spread upon the Dearborn site. A choke cherry tree standing beside | the laboratory was too old for trans l planting so it will be cut up for the making of office furniture.

CORSETS REQUIRED
 FOR NEW DRESSES
Further Dieting Imminent as
 Figures Grow Even Slenderer

Paris. Aug. 2S P>-Ranks of the exercise and diet squad will not be thinned by a style makers decision that normal waistlines are smartest.
 On the contrary, it looks as if most of us will have to take a still more rigorous course in calis- thenics to qualify with the flat front. hipless. willowy figure Paris has put on the 192O-30 pedestal.
 Even some professional manne- quins who look as if they never tasted potatoes or heard of q choco- late sundae are in training to per feet themselves to wear the new, tube-like evening dresses that hug the figure to the knees and accent uate every curve.
 As first aids to wearing the new. high waisted, tight-ftting dresses, leading dressmakers insist on the foundation of good corset th1t reaches several inches below the waistline and extends more than half way to the knee.
 At one important house the rule is, no fittings until the proper cor, set has been ordered. And it is a stout affair, with bones up the front and back and laces if re- quired.
 Stylists who have watched the pendulum swing back and forth predict the early passing of casu- al ribbon and elastic girdles as the foundation for evening gowns and say that it is only a matter of time until figures take on the Chiseled lines lent by whalebone and stout satin.
