TO Be GUEST
Of HOOVER
Vice Presidential Situation
Expected to Be Discussed
at Conference on Rapidan

Although President Hoover is
going to his camp on the Rapi-
dan River this weekend pri-
marily to discuss methods of re.
ducing the postal deficit with
the chiefs of the Postoffice De.
partment. he will have with aim
guest whose presence is sure
to arouse political speculation.
That guest is Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, governor of Porto Rico,
VINO has been mentioned as a
possible running mate for the
President in 1892 in place of Vice
President Curtis.
Brown Also to Be Guest
And because Postmaster Gen
eral Walter F. Brown generally is
regarded as the chief political
sCrategiSt of Mr.. Hoover'S Cabinet,
there is a likelihood that not slI
OF the talk at Camp Rapidan will
De about that $140, ,000, 900 deficit
The postal service has run UP this
fiscal year just closing.
Colonel Roosevelt is arriving in
the States from San Juan in
time to join the Presidential
party Saturday on the motor trip
into Virginia. He is said to be
coming back to hold some ger
Sonal business conference in New
York next week.
It is not likely, however, he
will go back to Porto Rico with
out laying an ear to the political
ground, for he is as much in
terested in the great American
game as was his famous father.
Curtis To Be "Eased Out"
At the time President Hoover
was In Porto Rico last March,
dispatches were inspired from
Washington to the effect that
Vice President Curtis was going
TO be leased" from the ticket
next year and replaced by either
Colonel Roosevelt, Secretary
Brown or Secretary of War Hur.

TIME next morning brought news
for Cathleen. The editor Of the
Express called her shortly
4 after she arrived at Drew &
Co. He was jubilant.
"Neilsen's on the run he said.
We've just had a tip from our man
at headquarters that one of the bot
ties Of alleged liquor the dicks grabbed
in the Nook has been analysed and
found to be nothing more than rum
sauce"
Rum sauce?" Cathleen asked.
Strictly non-alcoholic. The kind
used TO flavor sauce for pudd!ngs.
There's a keen one. Nice loophole for
the dicks to slip through. Any one
Anyhow. the case against Mrs. Hal
will be dismissed"
CathIeen was elated. She had not
thought victory could be so easy.
That's only the first round" the
editor went on. THE real fights hard
ly begun"
You mean the six men?"
That's the ticket. Nelson's offered
us sop in the Hall case to lay off
the big story. Figures you don't know
the six men and don't care darn
about them now your friends off the
slate"
But I do care. They're innocent"
Bully for you! But we'll have to
slow up until we find out just how
strong he is with his two women wit
nesses. tn be their word against
yours"
IT don't care If he has 200 witnesses
lying for him. The truth will beat
them"
YOU don't know much about courts
or you wouldn't be such an optimist. "
The editor chuckled. You can't help
us out, I suppose, on the identity of
the witnesses-who they might me?"
mot yet"
We've got to know"
III do all I can"
Cathleen hung up. The Hall case
dismissed and Mrs. Hall free to open
the Nook again. This was progress !
She would ask the editor to print a
story about the reopening. The story
would bring fresh patronage which,
added to the regular customers, might
bring a new wave of prosperity to the
Nook
That evening when they returned to
Julia's studio from night school, Cath
leen and Julia found Joy Caldwell
sitting outside on the steps smoking a
cigarette.

II don't know. I didn't. It's too
late to why me. Julie, be lamb. Call
him up and tell him I'm with you"
i don't like to do 1t. Julia regarded
Joy suspiciously.
"Oh, heck, don't be dull! I am with

Joy was not telling the truth, Or

Cathleen asked

NANCY PAGE P0ise Calls for Co.,
 Ordination of Muscles By Florence Ia Ganke

The Lacey girls were at camp and enjoying themselves. And in- cidentalIy they were learning much besides camp lore and summer games.
 Sportsma nship was one of the good lessons. Taking things as they come and not whining about them was another.
 And since they spent much Of their time in boomers and middies they had constant reminders of posture. It was easy to see how badly a girl was carrying herself when there was no conceaiing blouses, peplums, or full skirts 10 hide the poor pose of the body.
 Claire had tendency to look like q pouter pigeon. She made herself look that way by holding her chest up and her stomach in. And that gave her a sway back, q too pronounced curve at her waist line in the back and too prominent chest with her arms thrown back uneasily.
 Her cousin threw her stomach forward and caved in her chest. She looked like the girls of some five years ago who affected the debutanet slouch.
 The camp director tried to get the girls to coordinate muscles for easy boise is impossible when mus cles work independently of ono another
