 MT. Doak would have fitted in as cabinet officer from the south, a section which failed finally to re- ceive such recognition although MT. Hoover as the republican presiden- tial candidate split it for the first time since reconstruction days.

Woman Yice-Consul to Syria
 Has Pleasing Prospect

Washington, Aug. 16.-tR-Two young women going abroad as vice consuls will find widely varying con- ditions confronting them when they reach their respective posts in Bel rut, Syria, and Geneva. Switzerland.
 Miss Nelle B. Stogsdall, bound for Beirut. can rent a marble palace of IA rooms for s35 a month if she so desires. However, the girl vice con- sul would have to install her own bath rooms and electric lights and heat the palace with oil stoves.
 Miss Margaret Warner, assigned to Geneva, Switzerland. will find living rather expensive, but she will meet some of the most interesting peo- pie in Europe who come to Geneva to attend the League of Nations sessions
 Both girls probably will have some work connected with the issuance of passports. Miss Warner will have the heavier work of the two, as many tourists go to Geneva. Although the consular staff there is large. includ- ing the consul and two assistants be- sides two vice consuls, they are often compelled to work at night during the summer season.
 Miss Stogsdall can escape the heat of Beirut by going to nearby moun- tain resorts for the Week-ends or can even go back and forth each day if she desires.
