Descendant Of Adams Partner of
 Presidents Son

Washington, Dec. 3l PI-A des- scendant of the first occupant of the White House and the son of the present one, danced in the east room of the presidential mansion last night.
 It was Allan Hoover's New Year party, a thoroughly youthful affair to which the President and Mrs. Hoover invited a couple of hundred guests, sons and daughters of their friends and of government officials. Allan's partner for the first dance was Fanny Homan's great-gredt greatgranddaughter of President John Adams and niece of Charles Francis Adams, the present secre- tary of the navy.
 The dance was short, beginning at 10 o'clock and ending with sup per at midnight. At the supper came again a touch of tradition. To Miss Romans was brought a piece of cake on the self-same plate her distinguished ancestors used. It is now a prized piece of the White House historical collection.

One of the hardest sewer con- struction jobs in the city's history has just been completed under the direction of Superintendent Michael P. O'Brien of the sewer department on Colt street in the Barnesdale section.

Six hundred electric caps to set off the dynamite were lsed and the rock was of such formation that not d single load suita ble for use in constructing foundations Of buildings was obtained on the en- tire job.
 Superintendent O'Brien md City Engineer Merriam said today that sewer construction in the Ba,nes- dale section is exceptionally slow and difficult on account of the rock formation. On Colt street it was necessary to devote con! lGerd Die time to preparing the blasts and fastening heavy -imbers and rail- road ties on top Of, the rock in order to prevent damage to houses in the vicinity, the small size Of the broken pieces presenting a problem for they could be hurled long dis tances by the power of the dyna- mite Ordinarily, numerous loads of stone in sizes capable of use in building foundations are sold by the city.
 Although a storm water sewer in Colt street will not be necessary for some time. one was built at this time for the purpose of precluding the necessity of making another excavation through the rock forma- ton some years hence. The storm water and sanitary sewers are laid in rock side by side and although several months were required to complete the work, it is considered time well spent.
