HOOVER TOLEAVE
WASHINGTON SOON
President Expects to Start
West Between August
5 and is.

President Hoover expects to leave
Washington for his vacation in the
parks in the Rocky Mountains some
time between August and is and
with the expectation of returning to
the White House about the latter part
of the first week in September. The
exact date for the Presidents departure
has not been settled, but will be in
the next few days. The itinerary for
the trip is being worked into shape
and is virtually ready for the Presi-
dents approval.
Mr.. Hoover's intention is to 60 by
special train from here to Glacier Park
in Montana. Brief stop-offs will be
made in st. Paul and Minneapolis,
MINI. just long enough to permit the
President and his party to parade
through the twin cities in automobiles.
There will be no speech making in
either Of these cities and, according to
the President, there will be none
throughout the vacation trip. His de-
termination is to decline all invitations

outdoor sports.
Will Avoid Hotels.
The President is going to avoid hotels
as much as possible. During his stay in
Glacier Park the President and his
party will live in tents in some cool,
attractive spot. In Yellowstone Park
it Is thought likely that the party Will
live at a hotel, probably the one at the
canyon. The site for the Presidents
tent city in Glacier Park. which will
serve as the Summer White House for
probably two weeks, has been tentative
" selected, but not yet approved by
the President. In the meantime Its
location will not be revealed. 1t is
understood. however, that it will he
near Two Madison Lake, where trout
of the cutthroat and rainbow species
abound and where the scenery is con-
ceded to be as superb as any found IN
the West.
Few Days in Yellowstone.
1t is thought doubtful If the Presi-
dents stay in Yellowstone Park will be
longer than three or four days. He
expects to do his fishing there in yell
lowstone River, near the Canyon, and
on Grieb Lake, about is miles from the
Canyon. The movements OF the preSl-
Dental party after leaving Yellowstone
have not yet been made known, but the
information Is that the party will start
on its journey back across the conti-
nent with probably one or two stops.
The President and Mrs. Hoover
sought relief from the intense heat yes
terday by going for long automobile
drive in nearby Maryland and Virginia,
returning to the city through the cool
driveways in Rock Greek Park.
Allen Hoover, the younger OF the
Hoover boys, who was visiting them
over the week end, accompanied his
parents on this outing. He left Wash
ington last night to resume his work
at the New Jersey factory. where he Is
employed during his vacation from
Harvard.
At Whites Ferry, Md, the Presidents
engineering turn of mind was attracted
by the old cable ferry still In operation.
The presidential car was stopped long
enough for the Chief Executive to dis
cuss the workings of the ferry with the
ferryman on duty
At Leesburg, Va, the presidential
car again stopped while the President,
Mrs. Hoover and Allen partook of iced
soda water, served them from store
along the road
The heat of the early morning did
not prevent. the President and the
members of his medicine ball cabinet
from INDUCING today in their strenuous
sport in the rear grounds OF the White
House.
