Greatly Benefited-Dr.
Work Falls Into Water.

President Hoover was at his desk be-
fore o'clock today, appearing greatly
benefited by his week end visit to his
mountain retreat at the headwsters of
the Rapidan River, in Virginia.
He enthusiastically told his friends to-
day that he enjoyed the fishing on Sat-
urday, not only because Of his good luck,
but because Of the exercise it afforded.
Also, he enjoyed the extra hours of sleep
he received and the rest and relaxa-
ton in the cool Of the camp. He and
his small company of friends arrived
back in Washington shortly before 9
o'clock last night.
The motor ride was q leisurely and
enjoyable one, marked by q camp dinner
on the roadside q short distance south
of Warrenton, Va. At an attractive spot
beneath tall, spreading trees near q pic
turesque stream the party had their
camp dinner, and afterwar6 sat about
on the ground for half an hour, enjoy
ing the quiet and the surrounding beauty
of the country as they talked and
smoked.
Throughout the day DR. Hubert Work
former chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, was the object Of all
sorts of fun and Jokes because of the
wetting he experienced earlier In the
day when he tumbled into the waters
Of the Rapidan.
DIR. Work was walking along the bank
Of the creek when he stepped upon q
log which rolled under his weight, land
ing him suddenly in the water. The
stream at that point fortunately was
shallow, and he emerged unhurt, but
very wet. After drying his clothing, he
rejoined the President and the others
in the party, who were busily engaged
working on q dam which had been
started last Fall Is one of series of
dams conceived with o view to pro-
viding fishing and swimming pools.
The President and others Of his party
did no fishing on the Sabbath, but
spent yesterday idling about the camp
grounds. All Of them had their I'LL
Of fishing Saturday afternoon and
seemed content to rest upon their
laurels and take things easy yester-
day. The President expressed the hope
today that he would be able to get
away from his desk next Friday aft
ernoon and spend the week end at his
camp.

Ear from being deferred by
public protests against addition OF
new jobs, the administration con-

For instance, examination of the
August payroll of the state depart

employees as against 223 on the
roster in the first month of the
Cooper administration, January
1929 This represents an increase
of 64 employees within the term OF
Edward d. Schorr, state commerce
director And six of these have been
added since we disclosed the first
of our findings and openly urged
the governor to call halt to the eX-
pansion of personnel.
Furthermore we find that in
August the payroll of the commerce
department had risen to a total OF
$3.50, 0,613.44 year as contrasted
with $494,24592 which was the
total annual payroll shown in the

80 employees and increased its pay
