world.
The two have been near neigh

years, ana are knOWn to have been

Mr.. Hammond is older than Mr..
Hoover, BY nearly 20 years. and
richer BY probably a number Of mil
lions Of dollars. but they unques-
tionably have many interests in
common.
Mr.. Hammond assuredly wants
nothing In politics or he could have
had it-any appointive office-long
ago.
However, he takes an intense in
terest in public affairs.
He was a strong supporter Of Mr..
Hoover for president, both before
and after the Kansas City conven-
ton.
He is as unlike Frank Stearns or
Colonel House as they are unlike
one another, but. for that matter,
neither does Mr.. Hoover much more
strongly resemble President Cool

than our wartime chief magistrate

HOOVER COMPLIANT SEEN IN
HAMMOND
BY CHARLES P. STEWART

WASHINGTON. March John
Hays Hammond, 1 notice. was a re-
cent caller on President-eIect Hoov-
er. In fact, | have noticed Mr..
Hammond mentioned as a caller on
Mr.. Hoover several times rather re-
Gently,
To be mentioned as having been
received ever once by the preSi-
d~ent-elect IS q great distinction, to
say nothing Of being SO mentioned
repeatedly.
TO me, the very casualness Of
these references to Mr.. Hammond's
calls on Mr.. Hoover was what made
them especially noteworthy. Cen
orally there is a lot of speculation
concerning the business of any call
er whom the president-elect admits
to see him. It seems the political
consensus is that Mr.. Hammond
has nc particular business with Mr..
Hoover: that his calls are purely
social.
In its literal sense, I would guess
that this judgment is absolutely
correct. l can hardly imagine a
man less likely than John Hays
Hammond to want anything from
the next national administration,
for himself or for anyone else.
Yet we must bear in mind that
a president-elect has mighty little
time for mere small talk.
It follows that he must consider
those personal friends exceedingly
we'll worth while whom he can re-
main on visiting terms with. in the
midst of the hurly-burly of prep
aration for four years or more. in
the White House.
Mr.. Hoover evidently does con-
slider Mr.. Hammond this kind of a
personal friend-maybe practically
his only one.

one-Frank w. Stearns.

Betty suspected she had een little
or nothing Of Andy Adair. She
knew Lois was a bit inclined TO boast
of her affairs with men. If there
was anything to the idea that she
was going to marry Andy, Lois
would have been more definite.
Betty felt relieved. believing there
was no prospect OF Andy marrying
Lois. Lois was a bit too flightv for
Andy Even rs she thought, she
came to the conclusion there was no
reason why she should feel anyone
was too good for Andy. He had GER
tainly not shown to 3 good advan-
tare III his affair with her. She
could hardly understand why she
was still interested in him.
She chatted with Lois about
friends who went to school with
them. but refused Lois invitation to
attend 2 recital Of dancing school to
which she was going the following
night. Then Lois took her home.
Betty vas glad when Lois left her.
She did not enjoy being with her as
much as she used to. Lois was shall
low: she would never make any man
who settled down and took life seri-
ously a good wife. Lois had said
| Andy had settled down!
She shook her head and frowned
at her line Of thought; Andy Adair
was not worth worrying overt She
went to bed wondering why she was
unable to get him out of her
thoughts. Andy and dancing were
coupled in her mind she rarely
thought Of one without thinking Of
the other.
She sighed heavily. and went TO
! sleep to dream that she and Andy
had formed an adagio team and

ence. When she leaped for Andy's
arms he stepped bacl, laughing,

Few of the measures which Governor Moody has

There is the highway bond issue proposal, warmly

SUMNER WHITE HOUSE PROPOSAL DEAD

t1ACN1t
President Coolidge recommended a summer White
House to be established in the state Of Virginia, erst-
while the mother of presidents. An appropriation
was made. President Coolidge recommended the ap-
pointment of two additional secretaries for the in
coming president fixing the salary to be $4,000 a
year. These items were placed in the second de-
ficiency supply bill.
Blanton Of Texas killed the first on a point of
order and Laguardia Of New York the second on a
point Of order.
In the closing days Of his administration federal
lawmakers kicked the president around just as the
enemies Of the late Champ Clarks Missouri hound
dog kicked the canine around.
It is possible that the incoming president needs
two additional secretaries. It is admitted that the
president should have summer quarters somewhere in
the mountains. Washington is as hot as hades at
times. the president is a busy man and the summer
White House proposal received endorsement of lead
ing newspapers of America as we'll as the sane think
ing people Of America.
Blanton of Texas is coming home. He will prac-
tice law for two years. There are leading citizens of
his district who predict that he will be in the run
ming for a congressional seat in the primary CAM
paign Of 1880.
