A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK

voys to Washington have directly or In
directly assumed the presidency of their
countries following service as Ministers
or Ambassadors TO this country.
American students of Latin-Amer-
lean affairs, however, are inclined to
the veiw that such an Interpretation
is much like putting the cart before
tho horse"
Rather do they point out that these
seven men. who became presidents
after serving as diplomats in Washing
ton. were famous in their countries
before coming to Washington: that
the fact they were chosen diplomatic
representatives here is proof that they
were outstanding.
But the record Is there.
Take Colombia, for example. Jose
Vicente Condra, Minister to Washing
ton from 1902 to 1905, later became
President and served from 1914 to 1919
And Herrera, Colombian Minister from
1922 to 1890, is now the President Of
that country.
Gonzalo S. Cordova was Ecuador's
Minister to Washington from 1918 to
1917. He was inaugurated as President
Of his country September l. 1924, and
served until the following July.
Two former ministers of Panama TO
washington nave gone straight from
the legation here to the presidency. Be-
sides Alfaro, there is Belisario PoWas.
Porras was in Washington from 1915 TO
1918. In 1918 he became Acting Presi-
dent Of Panama, serving until 1920, and
in that year was elected President and
served for four years.
Paraguay's Manuel Gondra repre-
sented his country in Washington for
two years. then went directly to the
presidency in 1920.
Alberto Membrero represented Hon.
duras here from 1912 to 1915, and on
July %, 1918, took over the presidency

bad time because she has TO step into

My secretary tells me that she got
her first position this way: She went TO

him that she had taken a course of
training as teacher but decided that
she preferred to be a stenographer. and
that she was just a beginner. He was
impressed by this girl. who was willing
to give up the safe job of teaching for
the uncertainties of stenography. He

from handkerchiefs. You use
Kleenex just once, then discard II.
Germs are discarded, too. Each

You'll value the greater comfort

presidents of two rival Pacific Coast
League base ball clubs, William G.
Klepper of Seattle and Tom Turner of
Portland, met accidentally at Shibe
Park yesterday when they called on
John D. Shibe, vice president of the
Philadelphia Athletics.
Klepper's mission in the East is in
search of pitchers. Turner, a Phila-
delphian, is a frequent visitor and his
trip is without significance.
III stay here few days In the hope
of seeing President Ruch of the
Phillies," Klepper said today, land then
go to New York. I'm all set, except my
manager wants a few pitchers, and I'll
try to get them on this trip
Klepper reached the ball park too
late to see Mickey Cochrane, the AS
star catcher, who IS convalescing from
an attack of influenza. The Seattle
boss was president of the Portland club
when it sold Cochrane to the Mackmen
several years ago.
Hes the greatest catcher in shoe
leather" Klepper said.
