A considerable reduction In the num-

abroad during the next two or three
years was forecast today by the De-
partment of Agriculture, which said this
decrease would improve the sheep and
wool industries.
The Western sheep grower was said
to be in q Every dificult" position at

the drought, which had reduced the
amount of available feed.
Purchasing power of consumers has
been materially reduced" also, the De-

slaughter have been taken at greatly
reduced prices.

White House Scene of Dance Last Night
When President Hoover Son Led With
Descendant of John Adams.
NEW and exceedingly charming

A NEW and exceedingly charming
~ chapter was added to White
"A House history last evening when
a Mrs. Hoover entertained at a
dance for Mr.. Allan Hoover,
! Younger son of the President and Mrs
Hoover. Supper at midnight followed
the dance, the First Lady of the Land
being escorted to the State dining room
where supper was served, by the AS
sistant Secretary of Commerce for Aero
nautics. Mr.. Clarence M. Young. This
little feature of the dance deprived 1t
of all official significance. as Mr.. Young
belongs to the civilian branch of the
Government.
Mrs. Hoover received the 200 young
guests as they arrived. her son standing
with her. The mansion still glowed
with its Christmas decorations and the
gay spirit of the season obtained every
where and especially in the good humor
of the youthful guests who danced to
up-to-date jazz.
Society was particularly interested
knowing who the young host, Mr..
Hoover, would take out for the first
dance, and there was a long sigh OF
relief among local girls when he led
out in the dance with Miss Fanny
Romans great-great-grea grand daugh-
ter OF the first President to occupy the
White House. John Adams. Miss Romans
is the daughter of Mrs. Robert Romans,
before marriage Miss Abigail Adams OF
Boston. She came to the Capital to
spend the Christmas holidays with her
uncle and aunt, the Secretary OF the
Navy and Mrs. Charles Francis Adams.
They received applause from the
guests, this happy young couple, as they
stood forth on the east room floor Tor
the dance which opened the ball. Mrs.
Romans presented some pieces OF the
ornate Adams china to the White House
collection some months ago, and 1t is
said the honored young guest who was
escorted to supper by Mr.. Hoover dined
from the Adams china of her forebears.
The guests last night were chosen
from diplomatic. official and resident
society and included Miss Janet Large,
the winsome niece of the First Lady Of
the Land There was no dancing fol-
lowing the supper and the guests de-
parted shortly after midnight.
