HOOVER TlGH7ENS HOLD 0N f, 3, ?. Presidents Plans Meet With
 Success
By JAMES l.. WEST Associated Press White House CorreSpondent


 Washington. Aug. 31, lP-After President Hoover slowly is tighten ing his hold on the control of the machinery of the republican party.
 More and more his own individual policies will be reflected in the di- rection of party affairs as the 1880 by-elections approach.
 Another oringinal Hoover man Claudius H. Huston of Tennessee will be elected chairman of the re- publican national committee at the meeting of that body here Septem- Der 9, and it is regarded as certain the national committeeman to be selected for the state of Georgia will be Hoover supporter of long standing.
 Huston will succeed Dr. Hubert Work, who retires to private life after refusing an mbassadorship and after nearly eight years of ser vice in the cabinet and a year and more as chairman of the national committee.
 Work was the first of the Coo lidge cabinet openly 10 support Hoover's candidacy for the presi- dential nomination. and unquestion- ably that fact entered into his SC lection as director of the campaign in which Hoover was swept into the White House by an unprece- dented majority of the electora college.
 But it is not alone in the affairs Of the national committee that the Hoover influence is being felt. H. is credited with having had a larg, hand in the selection of Senator George II. Moses. New Hampshire to head the republican aenatoria campaign committee.
 Moses was one of the first of the senators to declare for Hoover. nomination; was very active in the general campaign last year, and a he is q ca1npaigner of long expert ence his friends say it was natura that Hoover should turn to him g director of tho senatorial campaign

outside of the casual contacts Of the
public school they had no friends. Old
Archibald Kennedy was the only mem
Der of the Colfax family who ever Wis
tied the little house, and Stella appar-
emily had neither family nor friends.
Life for Missile, until she was 10, was
limited to the little house. There were
few books. The privae libraries of the
seventies and early eighties were largely
limited to editions of the classics and
these were lacking.
There were evenings when Lambert
came up the street, and when Stella sat
Sullen and red-eyed across the table
from him. And there were nights when
he did not come home for supper and
the little girls, studying at the dining
room table, could hear Stella upstairs,
moving restlessly about, or rocking dog
gedly back and forth in her rocking
chair
Il wish she would stop that" Ellen
would say. Whats she worrying about,
anyhow"
Ellen was three years older than
Missile. She was pretty child, blonde
and with lovely, calculating blue eyes; a
prettier child than Missile, with her
straight hair, her family irregular fea-
lures, her candid look. Stella, who wor-
SHIPPED beauty dressed Ellen carefully If
oddly. But it was on Missile that Stella
laviShed such maternity as she had.
Missile was her love child.
Il know. She's worrying about
father"
II wish he'd stay away for good"
There was one cold Fall daW when,
after quarrel with Colfax, Stella walk
ed out of the house and took Missile with
her. They walked a long time, and
finally fetched up on bench in the
new park along the river bank. At first
the river was busy in those days. Great
stern wheeled white packets travelled up
and down, and smaller, dingier tow
boats, pushing ahead Of them long lines
of barges loaded with coal. Whistles
sounded, bells rang, mysterious figures
came and went, and these figures Missile
fitted into stories of her own invention,
and was content.
But as dusk fell she grew cold; her
small hands were red and blOtched, and
still Stella sat and stared at the river.
Aren't we going home, soon, mom?"
Were not going home" said Stella,
stonily.
Not ever?"
Never. Now listen to me. Stop that
crying and listen. Your fathers a bad
man; he's hard and cruel and bad. He's
got another woman"
Missile was stunned and puzzled

found his pad of blank receipts and

cred over the entire feminine portion of
the household. Only Lambert remained
the same as ever, dressed as carefully,
slept as late, poured the cream as law
iShly, and went down the street as
debonairly as ever. Only once there was
very nearly a debacle. Tuesday came, or
whatever the day was, and Mr.. Elliott
rang the doorbell that evening and said
he had stood as much as flesh and blood
could bear.
I'm a Woodworking man." he said,
I work late, and what can't pay for I
say for lot of folks"
And Lambert heard him through, still
with that patronizing smile. and then
reached down in his pocket and brought
out the money.
1t was after he had gone that the
scene occurred, with Stella crying that
he was hard and cruel, and that he
might have told her he had the money,
and Lambert imperturable as ever
And that's what comes Of my little
surprise for you, my dear!"

vailed. But there were long intervals
when there was no servant. when Soiled
clothes piled up and dishes were Mt
fully washed and the food Stella pre-
pared came to the table almost unfit
to eat
During these periods Lambert stayed
away from home as much as possible.
He was q fastidious man, and the in
fatuation which had brought about his
wild marriage was long over. At the
best, his attitude toward his wife was
one Of afTectionate contempt; at his
worst, he became a sneering, jibing
monster. riding roughshod over her
pride and her small vanities.
It was q queer preparation for life
for the little girls; periods of enough
varied by longer periods Of Semi-priva-
ton. Weeks of coldneSs between the
man and woman and then brief pas
sionate days when. for some reason be-
yond the children's understanding, the
bond between husband and wife was
re-eStablished and peace entered the
little house.
Lambert's family had cast him of, ex-
cept for one member. Now and then,

they were sitting out" and could not
escape. there would come pompouSly
down the street the handsome, elderly
and immaculate figure Of q man, his
soft hat in his hand. the ends Of his
white lawn tie fiuttering in the breeze.
And Stella would say:

give him anything, Lambert Col

But when old Archibald went away he

Until she was a grown woman the
word rent" had a connotation Of drama
for Missile. In good months she or Ellen,
and sometimes both, walked into Mr..

little house on Grove street. Only there
it was covered with a cloth and had
served as a table.
Even the neighbors, who did not
speak to her, admitted that Stella CAL
fax was handsome woman. Missile was
never to have her beauty, although
Ellen had inherited some Of 1t. She
must have been 36 or so when they
moved INTO the little house. and her fig
ure was still fine. according to the
standards of the time.
She was neat about herself. almost
fastidious, but she was no housekeeper.
Servants came and went; they slept in
the back room among the lumber, crept

more evenings when the supper dried up
on the store and when Stella, sitting
must have begun to age at that time,
for in the pitileSs glare of the gas jet
over the table even Missile noticed fine
wrinkles at the corners of her hand

It was this aging which ruined her
one genuine attempt to get away. She
refused to acknowledge it to herself,
fought it to the best of her ability.

1t was long after dark when they
left, and Stella's gesture had been a
vain one after all. For when they got
back-where else could they go?-they
found that Lambert had not been back
to supper, and that Ellen was reading q
book.
After that they were alone, the three
of them, more than ever. There was no

Mr.. Elliott was increasingly grun about

pleased at Haywood's exposure of

The Daily Worker entirely agrees
with what Fillmore says about the
Mormon Church, with the slight
amendment that all the other
churches are equally based on SUPER

guilty of mass murder, having either
engaged directly in religious wars
and massacres or have sanctified and
assisted capitalist and imperialist

such things will prevent war. Never

He writes:

Working Women Must Fight Jingoes

! Then the food conservation drive.
Every one remembers the garbage
pail campaign. How group of pa
triotic DANES supposedly visited the
home of Hoover, then Food Admin
istrator, to inspect its garbage pail
and behold, it was empty!-the
implication being, I suppose, that
the Hoover family ate up it's gar
bage. The empty garbage pail was
held up as the emblem of perfection
to the A-lerican working class house
wife. She was imposed to cut out
meat and wheat from her menu and
scrimp on her already poor table so
as to save the food for the army.
On May 5, 1917 Secretary Houston
of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture
issued special appeal to the women
of the country for food conservation
and econc., ~ in the home. He ap-
pealed also to the loyalty" of the
working women. He said:
Employed women, especially
those engaged in the manufacture
of food or clothing, also directly
serve their country and should put
into their tasks the enthusiasm and
energy the Importance of their
products warrants"
At one of the first national con-
ferences called by the Women's Com
mittee of the National Council of
Defense, Hoover, the new Food Ad-
ministrator, gave plan for enlist
ing the women in the first nation
wide campaign for food conservation.
In the Liberty Loan Drive, too,
the women's organization was inval-
liable to the government in putting
over its plan for filching from the
American workers their hard-earned
dollars for the manufacture of arm
aments and munitions which would
kill both American and European
workers by the millions. Of course,
here, many other important agencies
were at work. Large firms made
the jobs of their factory and office
workers dependent upon the pur-
chase of so many Liberty Bonds.
Poor workers, women included,
pledged their arnings for months
and years to pay for these. The
Liberty Loan department of the
Women's ommittee was instrument
tai in distributing 100000 Liberty
Loan primers and hand books to
teachers and 100000 special let
ters to farmers wives. 1t also as
signed 1000 women speakers to tour
the country for the drive. 1t was
no accident that in such working
class centers as Pittsburgh and AL
leghany Co. Pa, women subscribers
to the loan were one-third OF the
total. Red Cross work also, that is,
the making of surgical supplies and
Comforts" for soldiers, was prin-
cipal activity Of the women.

extraordinary development in Amer
lea, were thus at once systematically
modified and thrown into action
under the leadership of the Wom-
ems Committee which got its orders
and inspiration from the U. S. i'm
perialist government.
Thorough Local Organization.
These state conferences We're con-
stituted as permanent groups. There
were organized similar committees
on local scale in each county, city,
town and village. In the cities, there
were also ward organizations. When
it came down to local groups, men,
bership was no longer based upon
organization, but any individual wo-
man who could be brought in was
eligible. Thus there was a posi-
bility of getting those who had es-
capped membership in the permanent
organizations, and of reaching each
and every working woman and work
er's and farmers wife. The purpose
uniting all these divisions was to see
chat all necessary forms of pa
triotic service or of defense program
as outlined by the Women's Com
mittee were actually carried for
ward" In other words, the women
were to be modified in the most
thorough manner to sacrifice their
all for the bloody duty of winning
the war for Wall Street.
Departments were established in
all divisions for the following fields
of work: registration, food produc-
ton and home economics, food ad-
ministration, women in industry,
child welfare, maintenance of ex-
listing social service agencies, health
and recreation, education, liberty
loan, home and foreign relief. The
chairmen of the committees on food
administration, women in industry
and liberty loan were considered so
important that they were appointed
only in consultation with the Wom-
ems Committee in Washington and
worked directly with it. Not salts
fled with mobilizing the women of
the U. S., proper, similar organiza-
lions were created also in the PAN
anna Canal Zone, in Porto Rico, the
Philippines, the Hawaiian Islands
and in Alaska. The work was car
ried out so efficiently that by June

Jingoes Send Hot Air Barrage.
simultaneously with creating and
perfecting the structural apparatus
for the work, there was sent out
a barrage of sentimental, jingoistic
propaganda for enlisting the wom-
ms moral support, for working them
up into a patriotic frenzy in which
they would be prepared to make any
sacrifice. The women suddenly be-
come very important in the eyes of
government officials, they acquire
qualities of zeal, heroism and intel
ligence unsupported before.
