VAR AIDES ADVICE HELPED HOOPER
 FILL NAVY AND COMMERCE POSTS

Adams is going to be the new Sec retary of the Navy. No, no, not the ball player; not the Charles Francis Adams, some gink over at Cambridge who's treasurer of liar yard university or something like that"
 The managing editor investigated and found that the ''gink'' at liar yard was the right man. His news paper had the first word on the subject.
 Secretary Adams was recommend ed by Christian c. Herter, d for mer secretary to MT Hoover and John Richardson, who was asso- ciated with Hoover in the food ad- ministration. They are both Har- yard men, handled the Massachus- etts campaign for Hoover and, of course, were well acquainted with the man who for years had handled Harvard's millions and who won fame as yachtsman between times.
 When it came to selecting Sec- retary of Commerce, MT. Hoover wanted an engineer of outstanding ability to carry on the work that he as an engineer had pressed in the great business department of the government. A. w. Shaw, who had been associated with the Presi- dent in war and after-war work suggested Robert Patterson La mont.
 The Chicago engineer had met Hoover once at a general confer ence at the Commerce Department He himself admits that there prob. ably was no more surprised man ir the United States than he wa: when he was advised that the new President wanted him to carry or in the Commerce Department. Ht gave up his private work to takC over the job.

the public to the new ioea by speak ing throughout England.
 Dame Millicent soon became wide ly known as a forceful speaker and an accomplished writer, for soon after she began her platform argu- ments she supplemented them with the product of her pen. Her name became identified with the entire women's movement. In addition to women suffrage she constantly made higher education of women and the independent employment of women themes of her addresses.
 The past of the pioneers in the cause of woman suffrage, Mrs. Faw- cett for many years was head of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. She often ex- pressed her disapproval of the mili- tent methods of the Women's Po- litical and Social Union, of which the late Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst was leader, which were contrary to the aims of her own organization to bring about women suffrage by the orderly manner of parliament tary action.
 T have been filled with sorrow at the conduct of these misguided women" said Dame Millicent after series of suffrage riots. Our or ganization always has disapproved the use of physical force as a means of political propaganda. But the justice and expediency of any cause is not affected by the unwisdom of some of it's advocates"
 Born Millicent Garret at Aide burgh, Suffolk, June II, 1847, the venerable suffrage leader was the seventh child of Newson Garrett, a justice of the peace. At the age of 20 she was married to the Rt Hon. Henry Fawcett, widely known political economist and Liberal Member of Parliament, who after wards became postmaster-general Dame Millicent's only daughter Philippa Garrett Fawcett, for sey- eral years has been connected with the education office department ot the London County Council.

 Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-War time associates who with hundreds of their kind rallied around the Hoover political banner, now are receiving credit for bringing for~ ward two present cabinet members who probably were even more sur prised than the public by the ten der of office.
 The two are Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts, Secretary of the Navy, and Robert Patterson Lamont of Illinois, Secretary of Commerce.
 MT. Adams was a real stranger to MT. Hoover when he received an invitation to lunch with the Presi- dent elect and Mrs. Hoover at the inaugural home on Belle Isle, Fla, last February.
 During that luncheon MT. Hoo- yer sized up the internationally known amateur yachtsman and treasurer of Harvard university and shortly afterward rendered hin the navy post, although MT. Adams had been a Democrat all his life until the end of the Wilson admin istration, when he supported Wat ren C.. Harding.
 None of the group of seasoned political writers who had gone tc Florida with the President-elecl even suspected the man who raced the Resolute to victory over the Shamrock back in 1920 was slated for the cabinet. It remained for g sports writer for Boston news paper, who was in Miami Beacf for the Stribling- -Sharkey heavy weight fight, to scoop" the lot o1 them.
 Over the sports world grape vine" trickled word that Adams wa' to be Secretary of the Navy. Int Boston reporter called his manag. ing editor on the telephone to ap. praise him of the news. The tele. phone conversation has been re ported about like this:

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 5.-An army of nearly 1000 men are today waging a determined, and in some places, desperate battle to check progress of forest fires raging in the woods of Northern Idaho
 Lack of rain and heavy winds and inaccessibility to the blazes make the task doubly difficult.
 A frantic stand is made against one blaze on Sand Creek, eight miles from Sand Point, Idaho, by 250 men. They are attacking the flames on two sides in an effort to save the towns water supply which is threatened.
 Another 250 fighters are working against the flames on the stubborn Pack Creek which has burned for several days and desolated more than 1000 acres.
 Numerous other fires are being fought in other localities.
