AS he bent his head and looked
at her from dark eyes that turned

She could not fathom that look,
part hooking, part triumphant, part
amused. But Leonard Brent could
not be wholly laughing at her. Oh
yes, she was aware that he knew
of her feeling for him. There was
something in his glance that made
it possible to endure his knowing;
something not altogether of mock
cry and amusement.

words were uttered warmly,
Helen longed to say that he too,
was looking very well had she not
felt it would be too artless to compli-
ment him. He might want her to
be simple, but not a simpleton.
But she allowed her eyes to feast
upon him and Brent understood her
as though she had spoken. He per-
mitted no hint of his understanding
to show in his manner. A long and
varied experience with women had
accustomed him to their admiration.
Helen's feet seemed scarcely to
touch the fagstone walk as they
made their way out to Brent's car,
a long, narrow convertible. Tonight
it was open and Helen had an in
slant of regret that she was not to

GAS MAINS TO

Gas service was assured Univer-
sity Heights residents at an early
date when state highway officials
today gave the Citizens Gas Com
pany authority to extend its mains
along Madison avenue from South
ern avenue to Hanna avenue.
Clarence L. Kirk, vice-president
and general manager of the gas
company, conferred today with John
j. Brown, highway director, and
A. H. Hinkle, superintendent of
maintenance, receiving permission
for the long-delayed extension along
state road 81.
Approximately $500 feet of eight
inch main was laid along Madison
avenue south of Southern avenue
some time ago, but 5000 feet remain
to be laid. The work will start the
latter part of next week, Kirk said,
and should be completed within two
weeks.
Part of the extension will be laid
in the BERN of the road and part of
it about thirteen feet from edge of
the pavement.

HOOVER PROUD
OF AVOIDING
CATCH TITLE
President Escapes Being
CataIoged by Any
Single Phrase.
He ABH0RS FANFARE
Personal Habits and His
National Policy Not
Sohriquet Basis.
He ABHORS FANFARE
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Looking
back upon his first six months in
the White House, President Hoover
derives his greatest personal salts
faction from the realization he has
not been cataloged and tagged
with a sobriquet.
He has evaded the great American
urge to classify and symbolic a
new administration with a single
word or phrase.
He has f1shed more than most
Presidents in recent years, but he
is not "the Fisherman President"
He has made only three public ad-
dresses, but is not Silent Herbert
Hoover"
He has demanded drastic re-
trenchment measures in the post
office and war departments and yet
has not inspired the term, Hoover
economy"
Proud of Achievement
The President remarked this sub
tie achievement of his first year
with a smile of pride. He regards
it evidence his policy against osten-
tatious fanfare and showmanship in
transaction of government business
has been successful, he has confided
to White House aids.
Veteran attaches of the executive
Offices do not recall another in
stance in recent years in which the
President was not cataloged in his
first six months in office.
Many of President Hoover's
friends anticipated in March that
efficiency" quickly would become
the hallmark of the new admins
tration, but in his public u~tterances,
papers and messages Mr.. Hoover has
mentioned the word but once, in his
message to congress last April.
Misses SOubriquet
Commissions have been turned
loose upon the evasive facts of pro-
hibition, child welfare, the Nicara-
guam canal, agricultural rehabilita-
ton and half a dozen lesser prob
lens.
But President Hoover has yet to
see himself characterized as "the
lord high commissioner" or "the
ccmmissioner-general."
Similarly, he has pressed vigor-
ously on several notable occasions
for the advancement of world peace
without having earned the sobriquet
"the Quaker President"
