But it had gone deeper than

thing about the young collegiate

had watched him, her heart
swelling with strange pride.
Even now she remembered how
he flung off his helmet and
sailed into the game, brown hair
standing wildly about his head.
The action had been somehow
endearing.
The next day, she had hunted
for a report of the game in the

MADRID. Jan. 8.-Aiter holding
the reins Of government as dictator
Of Spain for six years and four
months. Premier Primo de Rivera
is faced with a political crisis which
it is believed presages the early
decline of his regime and Whlch
NAV lead, among other things, 70
the abdication of King Alfonso.
Two Of the main difficulties under
the old regime, overthroWn in 1923,
we're first, a costly war in Morocco
against the Moors. who had rebelled
against implantation OF a Spanish
protectorate; secondly, social dis
orders in many parts OF Spain
reaching a climax in the Barcelona
region where workers were assas-
sinated. banks raided and bombs
thrown by anarchists almost daily.
Stepped to Fore
Primo de Rivera, captain-general
OF the Barcelona region, surveying
this situation, decided to take mat
tors into his own hands. He issued
a announcement Sept. 13, 1928,
equivalent to the proclamation of a
military dictatorship. Two days
later the King, who always has de-
cIared he knew nothing of De
Rivera's plans, swore him in as
president of military directory.
De Rivera's iron hand quickly
stopped the domestic troubles, but
it was not until two years later that
the Morocco campaign succeeded
and the Riff leader, Add ell Krim,
was defeated.
Returning from Morocco, De
Rivera strove for the political re-
generation of the country. In De-
cember, 1925, King Alfonso agreed
to change the military dictatorship
to civil one.
Affairs Turn Worse
Affairs turned somewhat to the
worse, however. and the dictator
learned he no longer could count on
the support Of a certain section of
the army. Acting quickly, however,
in characteristic fashion, De Rivera
always was able to upset counter
plots.
The acquittal of Sanchez Guerra
by a court-martial, despite the fact
he had admitted himself guilty of
framing a revolt against the gov
ernment. was direct hint that De
Rivera should go.
Yet, after lengthy cabinet meet
ings and several talks with King
Alfonso, the dictator announced a
few days ago he would continue in
power another half year, or until
next June.

HOOVERS LEAD
WASHINGTON IN
SOCIETY WHIRL
Brilliant Series of Dinners
and Receptions Opens
Thursday.
BY JOSEPH III. BAIRD
United Press Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-President
and Mrs. Hoover are leading Wash
ington official society in one of the
most brilliant social seasons 1t has
enjoyed in years.
A long series of dinners and eve-
ming receptions at the White House
will start tomorrow night when the
chief executive is host to the iuci-
ciary. Thereafter, some event is
scheduled on Hoover'S social CAL
ender for nearly every Thursday
evening until late in March.
The judicial reception comes at
time when the highest ranking
honor guest, Chief Justice Taft, is
resting in the hospital. He went
there after a recurrence of bladder
trouble with which he suffered some
years ago.
Associate justices Of the supreme
court and justices from the benches
of several District of Columbia
courts are expected to attend the
function.
First Lady Ill
The opening of the social season
found Mrs. Hoover confined to the
White House with a prolonged but
not serious cold. DR.. Joel T. Boone,
White House physician, has pre-
scribed quiet and rest and advised
Mrs. Hoover not to leave the White
House even to attend two outside
functions with her husband last
night.
Hoover was the guest of honor
at dinner given by Vice-President
Curtis and Mrs. Edward Everett
Gam, his sister and official hostess,
in their Mayfower hotel apartment.
Later, he attended q reception in
his honor at the Congressional Club.
The White House social calendar
this year is perhaps the longest in
many years. Whereas former Presi-
dents have scheduled only four re-
ceptions, save for the public one
on New Years day, Hoover planned
for eight. One, the diplomatic re-
ception, was to have been held in
December. It was cancelled because
of Secretary of War Goods death.
New Functions Added
Hitherto, receptions were held for
the diplomatic corps, congress, army
and navy and judiciary, while the
cabinet always was honored at 3
dinner.
To these functions the present
chief executive has added recep-
tions for the treasury and post
office, interior and agriculture and
commerce and labor departments,
in groups of two. He will receive
the senate and house members
separately.
White House dinners have been
scheduled for the chief justice and
the supreme court, the Speaker Of
the house, the diplomatic corps and
the Vice-President. The cabinet
dinner, Cancelled because Of Goods
death, likely will be added to the
calendar.
