PRESIDENT: STAYS:
in HUMID CAPITAL
Works With vigor in Hottest
Room of Building After
Abandoning Trip.

Judging from remarks made by thu
President today to some of his caller,
and from his frequent hopping of hi:
brow, 1t Is assumed that Mr.. Hoover
realizes now that he decided too early
that the Summer was over and thereby
abandoned his week end visits to the
Virginia mountains temporarily.
The President looked cool In his
white flannel trousers and lightweight
coat, but it was evident that he was
feeling the sudden rise in the tempera-
ture as he labored in his office today
Peculiarly enough the Presidents own
room in the Executive Once is unqueS-
tionably the hottest compartment In
that building. 1t has only southern
exposure and its facilities for air cir
culation are notably poor.
Will Receive Committeeman.
The President. however, went about
his work with his customary vigor. He
had no set engagements before noon, 1t
being his desire to dispose Of accum-
ulated business, and he indicated that
he will have no engagements for the
afternoon. Several members of the ma
tional committee, while in town for the
meeting of that body Monday, were his
guests at dinner last night and another
group of these party leaders will be his
guests at dinner tonight.
Among them will be Committeeman
Rawson from Iowa. Kingsley of Ver-
mont, Hammlin of Colorado, and Street
of Alabama. Col. Creager, national COM
mitteeman from Texas. and Mrs.
Creager will be in the party to be en-
tertained at the White House at to-
morrow nights dinner.
President and Mrs. Hoover will at
tend religious services tomorrow morn
ing ut the Quaker meeting house,
Thirteenth and Irving streets. This
will be the first time they have at
tended church for several weeks.
May Visit Ohio.
It is expected that Allan Hoover. the
younger of the Hoover boys. who Is to
enter Harvard this Fall to take q course
leaving the White House for Cam
bridge. The school opens September 10.
Young Allan, who has been troubled
with an intestinal disorder this Sum-
mer, Is said to be completely recovered
now.
President Hoover has virtually de-
cided to make a trip to Cincinnati,
Ohio. probably some time in October, to
inspect the newly opened locks con-
structed by the War Department for
river transportation. He has not vet
definitely decided upon the date for
this trip. but it was said in his behalf
today that he will likely include visit
to Detroit about the same time for the
purpose of attending the dedication of
the Thomas A. Edison laboratory at
Henry Ford's Museum In Dearborn,
Mich. There is strong possibility also
that while on this trip the President
will take journey on river steamer
from the Ohio River down as far as
Louisville, KY.

Election of D. c. Delegate to
the House

To sxtensve enthusiasm will be shown here in behalf Of
the bill Representative Mcleod will advocate for the
election of District delegate to the House, where he
would have rights and privileges all territorial
delegates.
Mr. Mcleod undoubtedly sympathZes with the wishes Of
District people suffrage and the right of Senators and
Representatives in Congress personally look after their
affairs his proposition upon which he proposes to sound
local sentiment is not suffrage any form.
The proposed delegate would be every two years
by District Commissioners by the ballots of Wash
The commissioners are nominated by the President-not
elected Of Washington Quite frequently the
Commissioners hand picked for the President by little
coterie Of local politicians No matter how they chosen
other American citizens choose their municipal
heads.
There is Just one redeemng valuable feature the
Mcleod measure It would give Washington people direct
with Congress assuming that the elected delegate
would feel in the least bit responsive to the wishes Of his
people This he might might not do depending upon
the influences that brought about his election
As member of the House District Committee Mr. Mcleod
is probably that years ago there strong sen
ment in that committee for the sraghout election Of District
Commissioners and delegate in Congress.
That there might not be friction between delegate and
the Commissioners the proposition then most favored and
still practical temporary concession to suffrage sentiment

people four civilian District Commissioners who with the
Engineer Commissioner appointed by the President would
constitute the Board Of Commissioners
The candidate receiving the largest popular vote would be-
chairman of the board and delegate in the House. In
that body and by virtue of his to the Senate and its
committees he could be most useful That would give Wash
ngon spokesman Congress who not hand picked and
who would be under obligation to interests political
otherwise.
suffrage bill of this kind might include the election of
members of the Public Utilities Commission and of Board
of Education
There is plenty Of work for two additional Commissioners

} exactly as you are feeling.
There's nothing unique in you
or your case. We all decide at
II that every one Is a shallow
Drained cheat and hypocrite-eX-
eept US. We all conclude that
existence is futile because we
can't understand 1t. And We all
yearn to fit from one activity
to another because "monotory
is unbearabIe." But. fortunately,
most of us are restrained by ne
cessity and wise parents from
following our fool urges.
All of which must prove most
depressing TO your young ego
tism. but you're. smart kid,
Dorothe, and I'm not trying to
bunko YOU with lot of taffy
talk. These are facts-face them.
| admit that it's disappointing
to find that humanity is such a
mess-but you won't act so
&nooty about it when you realize
that you're as messy as the rest.
You, of course. give your per-
sonal messiness ritzier titles than
YOU give the other fellows. You
call your dislike OF routine and
work ''restlessness" and you call
his "laziness." This comforting
habit will undoubtedly continue
for the rest of your life, as 1t
does with all of us, but 1t will
never fool any one but yourself.
As for people hiding themselves
under a Veneer-some day you'll
be most grateful for that, for
you'll be needing veneer yourself
In wholesale lots.
Is life futile? That depends.
It's going to he mighty futile for
YOU, little partner. unless you
snap out of your present attitude
pronto. Life will be what you
make it.. II you put into it the
discontent. conceit. suspicion. inn
patience and ignorance which your
present program is engendering
you'll certainly reap futility. But
II YOU put into life the ''makings"
OF success and happiness--it you
nut into it the service of trained
hands and mind and tempered
spirit--you'lI reap rich harvest.
But, remember, it's all up to
you. Life isn't going to make

emptions for Dorothe Flannery

SECRETS of
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

-ny LIZ. LOutS Es DISCu-'
NERVOUSNESS is one of the
AN waste basket terms into
which a lot Of nonsense is thrown.
Or. to put 1t another way. the
term nervousness covers up a
great deal of ignorance.
Yet the nerves are exceedingly
important structures, and they may
actually become disordered, either
in their functioning or in their or
ganic structure.
When a person feels Ill at ease.
or behaves somewhat excited, or
suffers from sleeplessness : fears
or doubts or whatnot. 1t Is so
easy to say. "Oh. it's just merely
a case of nerves." and let 1t go at
that.
Yet there is no reason why peo-
Pile should become nervous even to
the mild extent / have mentioned
any more than that they should
have a pain in the stomach.
To be sure. an occasional pain
in the stomach is not a cause for
alarm. 1t may he due to transi-
tory causes, a temporary difficulty
to digest the food. for instance.
Likewise, occasional nervous feel.
ings may have no special signifi-
canoe whatsoever. y.
Nevertheless, because we use the
term nervousness in such a loose
sense We have at the same time
lost respect for it.
And sometimes. 1t must be EN-.
phasized. these little nervous symp-
toms, coming on regularly, are the
forerunners OF more serious
trouble.
There are many forms of nerv-
BUSINESS.
Indeed. although physicians en-
ploy such terms as neurasthenia,
psychasthenia, hysteria and the
neuroses te specify the grouping
in which the particular case un-
der the consideration falls, no two
cases of nervousness are exactly
alike, Likewise no two cases of
nerve malfunctioning require iden-
teal treatment.
Although this statement might
apply to any disease, and the skill
of the physician largely lies in
this fact, in the case of nerves, in
dividuality OF study and treat
nlent is of the very highest i'm.
portance.
This probably accounts in large
measure for the fact that these
so-called nervous people visit one
doctor after another without, ap-
parently. finding relief. often
they do not give the doctor the
opportunity of studying the case
long enough or minutely enough.
Nervousness Is caused by the
badly working nerve structures.
This malfunctioning may be due
to the fact that wrong nerve mes
sages are being sent along the
nerve fibers to wrong places. 1t
may also be due to actual changes
in the nerves themselves. 1t may
be due to organic diseases Of
organs other than the nerves.
Most nervousness, however
especially that which goes by the
name-is a mind affair, rather
than a body ailment.

scious minds may he out Of ,har.
