there are literally hundreds and thou
sands. Roosevelt felt that those two
sports were familiar to the common
man and approved by him.
Roosevelt was definitely confident that
golf was no game for a man In public
life. He felt that the average man at
that time looked upon golf as a sissy
game. It was easy for Roosevelt to
avoid golf. for the game did not appeal
to him. There was not enough action
in it.
Roosevelt disapproved of Mr.. Taft
playing golf.
After Mr.. Taft had been nominated
for the presidency he went to Hot
Springs, Va, to rest. Occasionally he
played golf and the newspapers recorded
the fact. Roosevelt sent word to him
that the game would harm him in the
public mind. That was In the Summer
of 1908.
In the 20 years intervening there has
been a revolution in popular point of
view. No politician today would think
OF avoiding golf or tennis out of fear
lest the public regard those games as
frivolous. The revolution has been due
in part to the enormously increased
numbers of Americans who themselves
take vacations and seek various forms
of recreation.
In a different field, the field of intel
lectual diversion, Mr.. Hoover has taste
similar to one of Roosevelts varied
traits. Roosevelt liked to have literary
people about him, and teachers and
latest developments in many arts.
Mr.. Hoover, likewise, likes that kind
of company in his hours of leisure
The one fairly large dinner Mr.. Hoover
has had in Florida was almost dupli-
cate of characteristic Roosevelt din
ner. 1t was not large dinner at all,
the guests numbering only 10. One
guest was Irwin Bachelor, kind Of
dean of American popular literature. It
was In 1900 that Mr.. Bachelors "Eben
Holden" was best seller of the year
and for some time later. Since then
Mr.. Bachelor has written many stories,
including Keeping Up With Lizzie"
and "D'ri and I" and a book about
Lincoln. All are very American. The
scene of several is In northern New York
State and Vermont.
Aonther of Mr.. Hoover's guests was
Cyrus H. K. Curtis undisputed dean of
American periodical publishers.
Two others of the guests were writing
men. One other was an Ex-Governor
of Indiana, who Is also a trustee of
Wabash College and of the American
Child Welfare Association. That kind
Of informal dinner and the kind of
talk that goes with it is one of Mr..
Hoover's diversions as it was one of
Roosevelt's.
When Mr.. Hoover, as Secretary Of
Commerce, gave one of his annual cabi-
net dinners to Mr. Coolidge, all the
invited guests from out Of town were
college presidents.

dergone, as it were, by space itself. In
this way the field theory was born as
an illegitimate child of Newtonian
physics, though it was cleverly passed
off at first as legitimate.
To become fully conscious Of this
change in outlook was a task for a
highly original mind whose insight
could go straight to essentials, a mind
that never got stuck in formulas, Far
aday was this favored spirit. His in
stinct revolted at the idea of forces
acting directly at a distance which
seemed contrary to every elementary
observation. If one electrified body at
tracts or repels a second body this was
for him brought about not by direct
action from the first body on the sec
ond, but through an intermediary &C
ton. The first body brings the space
Immediately around 1t into a certain
condition which spreads itself into more
distant parts of space, according to a
certain spatio-temporal law of propa-
cation. This condition of space was
called "the electric field" The second
body experiences a force because 1t lies
in the field of the first and vice versa

apparatus which rendered unnecessary

Air Unit in Japan
Largest in Far East

Work has been completed on the
largest wireless sending station In the
Far East and formal Inauguration cere-
monies will be held in February or
March. The station is located near
Nagoya, half way between Toxic and
Kobe. and will be able to transmit
messages to any station in the world.
Charges for sending wireless messages
will be approximately the same as those
for cables, while the transmission time
will be much less. Tests carried out with
the cooperation of large stations in
Europe will be continued so as to per-
feet operation. The opening of the plant
to regular service is expected to mark
great step in the progress of Japan's
communication facilities.

n X. HOOVER is spending July
mn so per cent of his Florida visit
V with a fishing rod in his hands.
1 The early part of each week
SO far he has spent at the
house and office at Miami Beach. The
latter part, provided the weather is
right. he spends on boat located some
SO miles down the coast.
Early each morning his boat is off
on the half-hour trip to the deep-sea
fishing ground. Lunch is always taken
along. Practically the whole of the day
is spent with rod in hand. Late in
the afternoon as the sun is setting he
turns homeward with his days catch.
Fishing is practically Mr.. Hoover's sole
recreation. Nobody in Washington can
remember ever having seen him with
golf club in his hand or a tennis rae
quet or a gun. Nobody can recall see
ing him on horseback. He does much
automobile riding, but hardly ever for
the sole purpose OF recreation. Almost
always his automobile rides have an OBJ
jective. Fishing is his one form of rest
and refreshment.
During the eight years he has been
in official life in Washington he has
fished several times in Chesapeake Bay,
about 80 miles from the Capitol. Occa-
sionally he has taken short journeys
to the mountains in Pennsylvania or
elsewhere for fresh water fishing. Twice
in the course of official journeys he has
stopped off for little fishing in the
Pacific Ocean. Several times In the
course of journeys to his home in
California he has flShed in the rivers
and lakes of that State and Oregon.
Fishing Is Mr.. Hoover's one variation
from concentrated and continuous
work. Whatever intellectual traits 90
with fishing, Mr.. Hoover has What
ever temperament takes to fishing is
the temperament of Mr.. Hoover. On
that broad subject there is a consider
able literature. Consideration of the
particular traits that cause a man to
take pleasure In fishing has engaged
the study OF several classic authors.
With one partial exception, Mr..
Hoover is to be the first fisherman-
President since Grover Cleveland. Cleve-
land was as ardent at it as Mr.. Hoover.
Cleveland used to spend his Summers
near Buzzards Bay, Mass. For months
he used to go out on the water eyery
day. Cleveland's most frequent COM
panion was Joseph jefferson, the actor
familiar and beloved to a whole Ameri-
can generation as Rip Van Wrinkle in
the Washington Irving play.
Much of the newspaper wit and verse
of America during the early COS played
about the fishing trips of Grover Cleve-
land and Joseph Jefferson. The one
other President who has done some
fishing is Mr. Coolidge. His interest in
this form Of recreation arose during his
presidency. During the long, earnest
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-02-03

and hard working period that Mr.. Cool
idge gave to the public service in Mas
sachusetts he had practically no recre-
alton at all.
Certainly he did no fishing He be-
came interested about four years ago
and started to learn the art. He learned
well and is today a good fisherman,
who commands the respect of others in
the fraternity Mr.. Coolidge has even
learned to cast with dry fly. That is
q difficult art. Few men in their fifties
would try to learn It, Fewer yet would
succeed as Mr.. Coolidge has.
Theodore Roosevelt was a man Of
many recreations. They did not in

clude fishing. Fishing calls for patience
and Roosevelt was not greatly endowed
with that. Fishing calls for reflection
and Roosevelt was, in the phrase of
one of his biographers, "all act" Roose-
welt liked strenuous sports. One of
them was tennis. Roosevelt played ten

there is any existing photograph of
Roosevelt playing tennis. Certainly I

Monument Is Planned
To Book by Italian

It isn't every day that a statue is
erected to book instead of to a writer
A generation ago a Edmondo de Amicis
wrote a book of short stories called
"Cuore," which is Italian for heart.
When the book first appeared tn
critics tried their very best to deride
together with its sentimental" auth.
But to no result as far as the popu-
larity of the book was concerned The

that this theoretical system, built up
by Newton with his powerful and logi-
cal intellect, should have been over
thrown precisely by theory of light.
This was brought about by the Huy-
gems Young-Fresnel wave theory of
light which the facts of interference
and attraction forced on stubbornly
resisting physicists. The great range
of phenomena. which could be calcu-
lated and predicted to the finest detail
by using this theory, delighted physi-
cists and filled many fat and learned
books. No wonder then that the learn
ed men failed to notice the crack which
this theory made in the statue of their
eternal goddess. For, in fact, this the
DRY upset the view that everything real
can be conceived as the motion of par
ticleS in space. Light waves were, after
all, nothing more than undulatory
states of empty space, and space thus
for physical events. The other hypoth
esis patched up the crack and made 1t
invisible.
Ether Admitted as New Matter.
The ether was invented penetrating
everything, filling the whole of space,
and was admitted as a new kind of
matter. Thus it was overlooked that
by this procedure space itself had been
brought to life. 1t is clear that this
had really happened since the ether
was considered to be sort of matter
which could nowhere be removed. 1t
was thus to some degree identical with
space itsef; thit is, something neces-
sarily given with space. Light was
thus viewed as dynamical process I'M

steal reality prevailed. Mat
ter is real and matter undergoes only
those changes which we conceive as
movements in space. Motion, space
and also time are real forms. Every
attempt to deny the physical reality
of space colIapses in face of the law
of inertia. For if acceleration Is to
be taken as real, then that space must
also be real within which bodies are
conceived as accelerated.
Newton saw this with perfect clarity,
and consequently he called space "ab-
solute." In his theoretical system
there was third constituent OF indie
pendent reality-the motive forces act
ing between material particles, such
forces being considered to depend
only on the position of the parti-
cles These forces between particles
were regarded as Internationally as
sociated with the particles themselves
and as distributed spatialFy according
to an unchanging law.

TEXAS RAILROAD STRIKE
COMPROMISE is URGED
Hoover Board of Inquiry Makes
Recommendations in Trans
portation Dispute.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A compromise in the threatened
strike on the Texas and Pacific Rail-
way, under which the carrier and its
employees would share equally in losses
sustained by the latter in removal of
their homes, made necessary by a
change in the location of terminals, was
recommended yesterday by the Emer-
gency Board of Inquiry created by
President Hoover to investigate the dis
pute.
While conceding that the railroad is
under mo legal or contractual liabil-
ity" for these losses. the board declared
that the change in terminals would re-
suit in substantial saving for the line
and that in its opinion the carrier
should not reap the entire benefit" and
the employees be compelled to bear the
entire loss"
On three other points of dispute the
board made two recommendations ia
voring the workers and upheld the rail-
road In the third. Contentious Of the
employees that pooling Of cabooSes, ex-
cept in emergencies. was prohibited by an
agreement previously entered into was
sustained, as was their contention that
a recently established run of 249 miles
between Fort Worth and Texarkana
was excessive and should be abolished.
An adverse ruling, however, was re-
ported upon the request Of the employees
that the seniority rules and schedules
of the Texas & Pacific be applied to i've
subsidiary lines.
