hands Of Mrs. Hoover unexpectedly, and
because of the author and the interest
ing subjects treated, Mrs. Hoover values
the paper highly. Besides her social
duties and interest in Girl Scouts and
outdoor life, Mrs. Hoover has developed
keen interest in the historical asso-
Citations of the Capital, especially the
White House, and the families that have
occupied that famous mansion. During
her long residence here she has been
adding to her collection of books, papers
and pamphlets dealing with these sub
JectS, until she has accumulated what is
looked upon as a highly valuable COL
lection.
She frequently visits bookstores in
quest of something worth while to add
to her collection and as a result book
and manuscript dealers are constantly
on the lookout for things that might in
tereSt her. A few days ago Mrs.
Hoover received word from q Seven
tenth street rare book dealer that he
had just come into possession of a
manuscript dealing with the White
House in which he felt sure she would
be interested. One look at the "Obser-
vations," written in the well formed
hand of the man who penned the i'm
mortal Monroe Doctrine, resulted in her
making the purchase without hesita-
ton. It is understood, too. that Mrs.
Hoover obtained the manuscript at q
bargain.

porary injunction restraining the High
way Commission from opening the in
terstate Free Bridge. which parallels

the hip by George Masters. proprietor
of the village store. His condition was
not believed serious and he was brought
here for treatment.
The shooting occurred at the No.
mine of the Sharon Coal & Limestone
Co.

shots struck those who were wounded.
Masters halted Demofontis mad

MONROE SPENT OWN MONEY
FOR WHITE HOUSE CURTAINS
Old Manuscript Acquired by Mrs Hoover Reveals Former
Presidents Complaint Over Expenditure.

When lace curtains in the White
House became torn or unpresentable
during the occupancy of President
James Monroe, he, despite his rather
impecunious state at the time, dug
down in his packet and purchased new
ones.
This piece of news as we'll as the fact
that President Monroe was forced to use
his own private funds to replace furni-
ture, carpets and other household ar
ticles. necessary to the comfort and dig
nifty of the presidential home, were re-
vealed in manuscript penned by Mr..
Monroe when he was President, which
was purchased a few days ago by Mrs.
Herbert Hoover.
This manuscript, of 48 closely written
pages, rolled and neatly tied with a
faded blue silk ribbon, deals with an
assortment of White House matters. At
the top of the first page, President Mon
roe wrote the title observations on
Matters of Public Interest"
Among the interesting subjects and
incidents related were the complaints
about having to spend his own money
for properly furnishing the White House.
Mr.. Monroe's complaining tone was
made all the more woeful by his men,
tioring the fact that at the time he
was very short of funds himself and that
he needed the money for other neces-
sary purposes.
This priced manuscript came into the
