Predicted by Board.

The National Prohibition Board of
Strategy confidently expects the coming
year to be a good one for the dry
cause, it said in statement last night,
citing four major reasons for this
opinion. They were:
a. There is a growing conviction in
Congress that no snap action should be
taken upon the eighteenth amendment
in o so-called referendum, for which
there is neither constitutional provision
nor precedent.
Wet Defeat in Congress Seen.
20. There is an equally widening
conviction that taxing the vices Of a
people to raise revenue is the resort OF
bankrupt craftsmanship.
"3, The dry majority in America Is
getting aroused. Before the party con-
ventions next June Congress will have
voted down-if vote is reached-all
repeal or modification proposals, and
neither party will dare write such
plank into its platform, not even
referendum plank.

from his overlordship of the Demo-

candidates in June. No Democratic
nominee for the presidency will retain

PRESIDENT GOES BEAR HUNTING

Good Time at Zoo Recalls Visit of Youngsters to White
House Year Ago, When They Heard of Brun in Cellar.

Intrigued by stories Of bear which
is supposed TO live in a cellar at the
White House, the two little Hoovers
went on real bear hunt yesterday
with President Hoover as guide.
Their grandfather led the children,
one on either hand through the crowd
ed National Geological Park and up to
the bear cages. They also saw the
monkeys, the elephants and the sea
lions.
But it was the bears they enjoyed
most. And the President seemed TO
have as much fun as the children.
Story OF Bear IN Cellar.
When Peggy Ann and Peter, then
aged and 3, respectively, came to the
White House last Christmas, some one
told them Of bear that lived in the
cellar Of the executive Offices and that

of that their grandfather yesterday took
them to see real one.
Although many recognized the Chief
Executive and the children's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, jr., dur
ing the arter-of-an-hour trip,
there were many more in the usual
Sunday afternoon crowd who didn't,
and the presidential party enjoyed COM
parative freedom in the stroll from
animal to animal.
At Quaker Church Service.
Earlier Peggy Ann attended one Of
her first Quaker church services with
her grandparents.
She came skipping out Of the low
gray stone Friends Church, on Florida
avenue near Connecticut, as though she
had enjoyed the experience.
Also accompanying the Chief Execu-
tive and First Lady to church was
their younger son Allan, for whom a
White House dance soon is to be held.
