Associated Press Staff Writer


WASHINGTON, March 2.-P)-
Mrs. Herbert Hoover will bring to
the White House a home-like in
formality such as washington
rarely has seen.
For her, the White House will be
not only the executive mansion but
another home, and she plans to
open its door to her friends just as
she has all the other homes with
which she has ringed the world.
Those who know her best expect
no change in the easy informality
with which she always has re-
ceived them. To her door behind
the historic white columns of the
White House, they say, will still
come the long line of world travel
ers, scientists, engineers, explorers
and statesmen who always have
found their way to her hearth
wherever she and her engineer huS-
band have lived.
New Intimacy for Home
Among those who have met her
and known the freedom and infor-
mality that has marked her way
of life, much discussion has been
aroused tver the question of how
she will adapt herself to the for
NAL restrictions of the life of a
lady of the White House. But now
the universal conclusion is that for
her, these formalitieS will largely
disappear, and that under her
touch the white colonial walls that
have cleaned in the lights of SO
many stately presidential functions
will take on a new intimacy.
AS the wife of the president, she
will, Of course, conform to the rules
requiring secret service attendance
on all her outings. and the formal
state dinners and receptions re-
quired in the White House enter
tanning probably will show little
change. Mrs. Coolidge's custom Of
receiving on a fixed day each week
all the formal out-of-town callers
who wish to pay their respects she
will probably also continue.
But Lou Henry Hoover has al
ways had a wide circle of personal
friends to whom her home has been

ROOMS NEEDED
FOR VISITORS
Cooperation Of All Res
idents Is Asked By
Committee

The celebration committee will
need the cooperation of all Browns
vile residents to assure ample
housing facilities for the large
number of visitors expected to at
tend the municipal airport celebra-
ton March 9 and 10, was the pre-
diction Of Charles Burton, chair
man.
Harry Faux has been appointed
chairman Of the housing commit
tee, and residents of the city who
have rooms available for visitors
are requested to list them with him.
Present prospects are that we
will need every room available"
Burton said after stating that
quarters for at least $50 army avia-
tors must be found.
The Brownsville hotels have been
operating nearly to capacity the
past two months, and a very limit
ed number of reservations for dis
tinguished guests could be made
up by the celebration committee.
ut is very obvious that the
celebration committee will need the
cooperation of all residents of the
city in solving the housing prob
lem. I am confident Brownsville
will be crowded with visitors, and
1t is up to us to supply accommo-
cations. It can be done, but will
necessitate the cooperation of ALL"
Burton said.
Plans for the celebration are
progressing rapidly. Burton an
nounced. A meeting of the pro-
gram committee will be held Sun
day morning at the chamber of
commerce to complete all details
and the program is expected to be
ready for publication Monday.

open. Her affection for them and
the ready and spontaneous well
come she has for them have be-
come a fundamental part of her
nature that the barrier of political
prominence cannot change.
Open to Americans
At TientSin, where she went as
a bride, the upheaval of war and
rebellion made life itself uncer-
tain. Yet the gray brick house in
the foreign concession always was
open to American or foreign
friends, and many an American
soldier Of those days has unknow-
ingly had a welcome hour of rest
at the tea table of a future presi-
dents wife.
At Coolgardie, in western Aus
tralia, and at the little town of
Tong Shan, south of Tientsin.

cations for a worldwide engineer
ing reputation, and later at Toxic.
while he worked in remote parts of
Ceylon, the Malay Peninsula and
Siberia, her homes were less COM

more difficult.

and English-trained "head-boy to
direct the Chinese servants were
not always available.
But "roughing it" was never a
hardship for her, and she kept open
house in those early homes as
much as later in her more famous
homes, such as the old "Red House"
OF London't tragic war years.
The coSmopolitanism Of those
early homes, too. has followed her
around the world and will make
the White House a friendly place
not only for the nation of which
it is a symbol, but for those for
elgners who at Washington are
guests of the nation.
Mrs. Hoover has learned through
her long life Of wide travel that
people OF all countries have much
IN common, and that the bonds If
friendship can overstep the differ
ences OF language and ways. States
men. scientists, business men and
students OF all the leading peoples
OF the world have found a welcome

has learned to know the little init.

Notice to individuals and
Others Requiring
Traders License

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, To
all persons engaged in business where
traders license is required that I'M
der the provisions of Senate Bill No
60, which has recently been passed by
the General Assembly of 1929, there
is imposed on persons who fail to
take out licenses in the month of May
penalty of ten per cent per month
on the cost of the license. In other
words, licensees may take out licenses
at any time during the month of May
without having to pay a penalty, but
on and after June LIST anyone applying
for a license, who was in business in
the month of May preceding, is re-
quired to pay, in addition to the cost
of the license, a penalty of ten per
cent per month or fraction of month
In the case of persons starting in
business during the license year they
are only required to take out license
for the remaining part of the year,
but they must take out their license
in the month in which they begin bus
mess.
There has also been passed at the
recent session of the General Assem-
bly, bill requiring a separate license
for each place of business owned and
operated as such by individuals or
corporations.
The Acts above referred to makes
it mandatory upon the undersigned
to collect the penalties prescribed by
said Acts in the case where licensees
are delinquent in applying for their
licenses and leaves no discretion on
my part as will be held accountable
for the penalty by the State when my
books are examined, hence all per-
sons required to take out license are
urged to make early application and
thus avoid the undue expense of ten
per cent per month penalty imposed
by the law above referred to.
