This is all due TO poor publicity work. Get Mr.. Hoov-
er across in the American mind as a good natured,
likeable fellow in old clothes getting a hootful Of water
as he wades a stream. washing up with a hand basin
and later sitting around a log fire eating with his
knife and telling about the big one that got away, and
you will practically assure his reelection.
Get him over as a plain, old-fashioned angler who
digs his own worms.
Make him smile in those newsreel pictures, much as
he hates them. Make him unbend. Get some pictures
Of him tinkering with the engine in that new motor
boat. Photograph him with his hat on one ear. Snap
him in a bathing suit. II may even be necessary to
have him kiss some babies.
Well. anyhow, I am offering these suggestions in
good faith as 1 know Herbert Hoover has had moth
ing but bad breaks and deserves a good turn. DO what
you want with them. Yours.

The Once Over
A LETTER TO MIR. HOOvER'S NEW
PUBLICITY EXPERT
BY III. L PHILLIPS

Mr.. George "A. Hastings,
The White House.
Washington, d. c.
Dear Mr.. Hastings:
I see by the papers that you have been added to
President Hoover's s~ecretarial staff as q sort Of publi-
city expert to assist in the work Of putting Mr.. Hoov-
er across with the American public so that he will
register n little better In the hearts Of the people. Mr..
Hoover Is about three years late getting this move
ment under way. but It is a good Idea.
Selling a President "a the nation Is Just like sell
ing a cigarette. a soft drink. q mattress or an ice-box,
particularly II the product gets launched under adj
verse circumstances. What a President really is like
is uriniportant: the Job is to present him as something
the folks WAN hin 70 be like.
Mr.. Hoover has many admirable qualities. He Is a
total loss as an actor. however. Even when he does or
saws something that should make a hit with the pub
hc he does II or saws Il In such . colorless manner
that II gets him no place. He Is, In fact, probably
Americas worst dramatist.
SO YOU bows have got 70 take him in hand at once
III your best delicatessen manner and paint such a new
and slannorous picture Of Herbert Hoover that even
in his drabbeSt moments he will look inspiring. To date
the work has been so poorly done that even the pic
ture Of President Hoover throwing out a first baseball
was unconvlncing.

The same is true Of those fishing camp activities.

Wild flowers are everywhere; the flaming fireweed glows in masses in the sunny open spaces; wild roses spring among the rocky crevices; the sweet forgetme-not and delicate wood lily bloom among the numer- ous varities of fern in the sheltering woodland deeps and a wide range of lessor flora carpets the open slopes.

 At the head of Texas Creek is to be witnessed one of the most in. spring glacial panoramas in the world, with three great ice streams converging through lofty mountain passes to form one vast river of ice neary 20 miles in length. From certain points in this valley six or eight huge glaciers may be seen at one time sweeping downward from the upper heights to elevations as low as 1000 feet. A unique feature of these glaciers is that most of them can be easily travelled over up to elevations of 3900 to 4200 feet, when crevasses and ice rapids make furth-

The surveying and monumenting of tween Alaska and Canada was in many respects momentous engin- eering achievement, owing to the wide spaces traversed, the unusual difficulties of travel, absence of all but elementary transportation and the added difficulties and dangers incl dent to a large portion of the bound ary being located on the very sum- mits of vast and lofty mountain peaks.
 The survey and location of the boundary was authorized April 21, 1906 under convention signed at Washington, D. C., by commissioners appointed by the United States and Great Britain. The work was started in 1907 and continued until 1913 under the direction of Thomas Riggs, Jr, for the United States and J. D. Craig for His Majesty. King Edward VII.
 Over the greater part of it's length. between the Arctic shores and Mt. St. Elias, the boundary line follows the Hist meridian, then swings sharply east for some 50 miles be- fore again assuming a southeasterly trend for some 800 miles to the head of Portland Canal at Hyder, Alaska From this point the line extends al most directly west along the center of Portland.

 Throughout it's entire length the boundary line is marked by metal monuments affixed at prominent points such as mountain peaks and
