riedly and descended to the White

ercise awaited him. For few min
utes they batted four pound medi-
cine ball back and forth across a
net.
When the game had ended, Hoo
yer returned to his private suite,
changed to business clothes, and sat
down to a breakfast of eggs, toast
and coffee.
Already the morning newspapers
had come, bringing editorials esti-
mating the first years work of the
President.
The remainder of his day was
mapped thus:

tive Offices.

Sickroom Quiet Replaces
Inauguration Cheers of
Fl Years Ago.

81 United Press
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Mem-
cries of a day twenty-one years ago
when he was hailed as President of
the United States flickered today
in the mind of weary old man
who held back the door of death
to relive a dream that came true.
Reminiscent of that day when
William Howard Taft became Presi-
dent-which saw one of the worst
billiards. in the capitals history
was the shrill sound of the March
wind today as it swayed the trees In
the yard of his Wyoming avenue
home.
For that other day. there were
cheers and shouting: for today. the
stiffness of the sickroom, inter
rupted only by the whispering of
doctors and the subdued footballs of
the vigilant nurse.
Doctors abandoned all hope sew
eral days ago, only to see their pa
tient rally surprisingly.
They do not predict just now
when the end will come. They say
only he can not survive. His con-
dition was SO hopeful, temporarily,
that his son, Robert A. Taft, who
presented his fathers resignation
to President Hoover as chief JUS
tice just month ago, returned on
Monday night to Cincinnati to come
back here in a few days.
In his struggle against death, the
former President has displayed
something of that bravado of spirit
which he revealed in his public ca
reer whenever things went wrong.

RELIEF TAKEN
UP BY HOOVER
Hears Davis Urge Fund of
S5O,OOO,OOO for Public
Building Work.
DOLE SYSTEM OPPOSED
Brookhart Plan to Help
JObIesS Is Branded
Impractical.


WASHINGTON, March 4-The
unemployment situation. now being
agitated in the senate, was taken
UP by President Hoover and his
cabinet at their regular semi-week-
ly meeting today.
Secretary of Labor Davis sug-
gested, as he entered the cabinet
meeting. that congress would help
the situation by appropriating $50
100000 to carry forward the adj
ministration's public building pro-
gram and thus afford work for
many now unemployed.
Against Dale" Proposal
Davis ideas on unemployment
carry weight, not only because he
is in close touch with the labor
situation at all times, but because
he worked with Mr.. Hoover when
the latter was secretary Of COM
merce in the unemployment emer-
gency of 1921.
Davis said this plan would be
better in his opinion, than the pro-
posal Of Senator Brookhart (Rep.,
Iowa., for a fat congressional ap-
preparation for unemployment which
Davis regarded as a "dole" propo-
sition. Brookhart In his resolution
did not specify how the appropria-
ton would be used. leaving this to
President Hoover.
Would Not Go Far
The labor secretary estimated
100000 unemployment, and had
government figures available to pre-
sent to the President and the
cabinet for their consideration as
they studied the situation and prob
able remedies.
He explained that $50,000,000
would not go very far as a dole, -
as it would provide only 81 week
for eighteen weeks for the 100000
estimated to be unemployed.
1.-The American workman" he
said, wants honest employment
and steady job. He does not want
dole"
