The Hooverians.

1t is announced that President-elect
Hoover will be rendered testimonial
banquet in Washington the night before
his Inauguration by co-workers who
have been identified with him through
out his dramatic career at home and
abroad. They form remarkable COM
pany. In point of diversified interests,
personal loyalties and international
companionships, no occupant Of the
White House before him ever narsflaled
90 unique a group Of comrades and
colleagues.
49, The Hooverians have to their credit
many years Of service with and under
''the Chief" They have had abiding
confidence in his future. They have
never lost faith that some day he would
arrive in the seat of the American
mighty. They have proved themselves
valiant crusaders in his cause. They
will appropriately come together on the
threshold of his most exalted honor to
pay him homage of their own and rejoice
in the potent part they played in max
ing Herbert Hoover chief engineer Of
the United States.
The President-elect's cycles" Of
friendships-to use an idiom of which
he himself is fond-can be easily
identified. They have been built up
chronologically from his college days.
Their inception was on the Stanford
campus. hallowed perhaps with men,
cries dearer to Mr.. Hoover than any
others acquired by him in later life
After university came his variegated
career as a mining engineer in many
lands on both sides Of the globe. Then
came the World War with the manifold
activities Herbert Hoover was destined
70 carry on between 1914 and 1921.
Belgian relief surrounded him with
a host of aides who were to develop
on his behalf species of personal de-
yotion like Napoleon's field marshal!

Caapi.

Out of the oldest traditions Of man
kind emerge the hero and the craven.
The first ever has been honored above
all his fellows. This has been true even
when, as was so often the case, bravery
was his only commendable attribute.
Men have invested with halos the heads
not only of those who unfalteringly
risked their own lives in battle or in
service to humanity, but Of the booted
highwayman and the wretched MUIR
derer going to the gallows with pic
turesque bravado.
The latter throughout history has
been one of the most despised Of living
creatures. No other virtues have been
sufficient to offset his one fatal short
coming. The man who has run from
the enemy or cringed at the feet Of the
hangman passes from the earth amid
Kisses and cat calls.
Now, what is the nature Of this quail
ity of courage? What makes one man
fight and another man run? Is the
human being born brave or fearful,
bringing these attributes out Of some
mystical infinite? Are fear and brav-
cry purely the end products of ex-
perience? Or are they purely material
results of material things. such as
| glandular secretions?
Various schools of psychology have
attempted to answer these questions
No attempt has been entirely successful
Perhaps the most widely accepted an
swer at present is that Of the behavior
list school, which maintains that the
child comes into the world afraid Of
two things-loud noises and falling
and that every other fear Is brought
about by conditioning Is, by asso.
ciating with these two other objects
and situations. ..
But 1t is we'll known that certain
drugs have the effect of reducing fear
especially in certain individuals. Al
cohol is notable example. Thu

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Mask and the Play.

The Mask and the Play.
In by-gone days gentle dame
When to the theater she came,
Her bushes to. conceal, would ask
Protection from dainty mask.
A lady now sits In the throng
And hears a rather shocking song,
Whose phrases she must not repeat;
Yet her composure is complete.
Her lipstick, rouge and powder pun
She Yields; not much, but just enough
No doubt her bushes often glow.
It matters not. They do not show.

 He does not attack the action by the United States, but rather his book, "BlOod in the Tropics" warns against sending to Nicaragua men who do not comprehend the coun- try's needs. He indicates that men like Secretary of State Stmson are wanted to solve properly the prob- lens of his country.

CLAIM THAT FLORENTINE
 INVENTED EYEGLASSES
Accepted Statement That Roger Bacon Was Originator Is Attacked by Italians-GIaSSc Once
 Prescribed
by Italians

Florence, Italy. Dec. 20. PI-A Florentine, Saprino Armato, was the inventor of eye glasses, and not the learned British monk, Roger Bacon, local historians are claiming. As soon as they can find out a bit more about Sabrino's life and meth ods, they are going to organize a something centenary in his honor, with an exposition to which they hope to attract many spectacle wearing tourists.
 Manuscripts of the 14th century have numerous references to the Florentine's skill in preparing glass for magnifying purposes, and in fashiOning cOncave and convex lenses to remedy defective eye sight.
 But the optical business was not without it's dangers. The chron- icles recite that the monk Fra Angelica of Parma initiated q
