really need not be of deep concern to
Washington, for but few women and
men who have filled the high Offices
have come untitled by previous ex-
perience, many of them having had
years of official training for the place.
Even Martha Washington had little
taste Of official position before she be-
came the first First Lady. and Mrs.
Abigail Adams, who gave to the world
so much rich material from her
experiences, shared the honors of the
Continental Congress with her husband
John Adams Dolly Madison. who lived
in a veritable halo of romance after
she became the wife of James Madison
was experienced in official life as the
wife of a cabinet member and often
acted as hostess for Thomas Jefferson
Mrs John Quincy Adams was rich
in social experience in this and other
countries and Mrs. Martin Van Buren,
ard Mrs. James K Polk, whose religious
tendencies caused her to abolish dane
ing and the serving of liquor in the
White House were acquainted with
Washington official life. Mr. Polk was
a member Of Congress, as was Millard
Fillmore. the latter's wife taking to
the White House her valuable ex-
perience as the wife Of the Vice Presi-
dent, her husband succeeding to the
higher Office on the death of President
Taylor
Mrs. Franklin Pierce was both a
Senate and Lower House hostess before
President Pierce was inaugurated and
Mrs. Garfield, too, was congressional
hostess. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, she
who was Caroline Lavinia Scott. was a
Senate hostess before becoming mistress
Of the White House and Mrs. William
B Mckinley learned the official social
routine of Washington life by being
the hostess for her husband while he
was a Representative from Ohio. Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt had her taste Of
official life through being hostess for
her husband while he was a Civil Serv-
Ice Commissioner and later when he
became Assistant Secretary of the Navy.

While the country at large is sizzling
red hot with politics, the President and
Mrs. Hoover with a small group of
friends, which includes the Secretary
of War and Mrs. Hurley, Secretary
Hyde. Representative Smell and a few
others, are comfortably enseonced at
their camp on the Rapidan River to
remain over the national holiday.
There was no long line of official cars
pulling out over the White House drive
when they left yesterday, the visitors
using their own cars for the trip,
The camp is rich in its mountain
beauty Just now and the simple rural
sports, such as fishing and riding over
mountain trails, are at their best. One
of the most interested and interesting
parties to be entertained at the camp
in the future will be that of July l2-
weather permitting-when Mrs. Hoover
will ask a group of newspaper women,
who all during the social season report
the social receptions, teas, dinners and
other events of the White House. to
spend the day at the Rapidan camp.
Though much has been written about
the camp on both its social and domes-
tic side, few if any Of these White
House social writer's have seen the
camp or have a real conception OF what
Y,icb pd o.
ments of information and description
from those fortunate enough to nave
been there and nave gathered mucn
from photographs but OF personal
knowledge they have none. This pleas
ant plan of Mrs. Hoovers has been
about ready to carry out number OF
times. when always some unforeseen
event happened to postpone it.
Whether the Republicans or Demo-
Gratis win in the November election can
make but little change in the lives OF
Washingtonians. They are quite as well
acquainted with one of the candidates
as the other, though Mr.. ard Mrs. HOO
yer have more completely woven them
selves into the lives Of the people mere
than did Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt, the
latter having simply occupied the place
Of Assistant Secretary OF the Navy,
while Mr.. Hoover came first with the
Food Administration, remained as
cabinet member and is still here as the
Chief Executive.
OF far more and vital Importance TO
society, official and otherwise, is who
will be the second lady in command,
whether Mrs. Dolly Gam, who has en-
deared herself to washington through
more than 20 years of activity in off,
cial life, or Mrs John Garner, whose
husband is Mr. RooSevelt's running
mate and likewise is an old resident
here. When Mr. Garner was elected to
the Fifty-eighth Congress Mrs. Garner
came to Washington with him and has
consistently been identified with life
here. Last December when Mr.. Garner
assumed his position as Speaker neither
she nor he changed their mode of life
one whit. This they must do if the
Democrats win. In a social way the
position is far more exacting than that
of the President.
Just who will occupy the White House

little TO residents Of the Capital, since
they must open their arms TO the Chief
Executive and the First Lady regardless

Rumors were current today that
differences among members of the
judicial committee of the Los An
geles Bar association might delay
presentation of that organization
report on the American Mortgage
company receivership indefinitely
One faction of the committee
was declared to be favorable to a
strong report, while others were
said to take a conservative stand.
The report had been expected
daily for a week.
Charges that superior court
judges had accepted gifts from re-
ceiyers were the particular object
of investigation.
While no statement was made,
discussion of important changes l.
the procedure of appointing re-
ceivers last night at a meeting of
superior court judges was believed
to have resulted from the Ameri-
can Mortgage company case.
One of the rule revisions pro-
posed provides that there shall be
kept in the office of the presiding
Judge a list of persons desiring ap-
pointment as receivers, in which
shall be entered the name, address
and business or professional eX-
parience of every person who sc
requests and furnishes the neces-

SCREEN GUILD
MAY SEEK TO
OBTAIN CARRO

HOLLYWOOD, April 13. U.P)-
The signing of Greta Garbo to a
motion picture contract carries
much of the sparring that char
acterizes the drawing of a new
agreement between Babe Ruth and
the New York Yankees.
Always there are a certain num-
ber of preliminaries to go through,
and the Swedish star always in
sists that she will not sign but will
retire and return 20 her home in
Sweden.
"Ay go home" she repeatedly
says.
Then always she signs with Met
neutrality-suspicious. and resumes her
screen career.
There are some new elements to
be considered this year. First her
business manager assertedly is at
odds with M. G. M. and addition
ally there is report current that
she may make a picture for the
newly formed Screen Guild of Hol-
lywood.
These add interesting possibili-
ties since M. G. Levee, president of
the Guild, wants a smash for his
first picture and Garbo might be
lured by the idea of drawing a good
salary and a percentage of profits
too. The Guild proposes to give
those who take part in its picture
a share in the profits

Budget Deficit
Sets High Mark

WASHINGTON, April 13. U.P)-
A federal budget deficit of $2,017,-
1858, 1889 on April IL was reported
by the treasury today.
1t was the first time in history
that any nations peace time deficit
has exceeded $2,0O0,00O 900.
During the past week expendi-
lures exceeded revenue at the rate
of $15,000000 a day.
The deficit for 10 months and IL
days of the current fiscal year rep
resentS total 20 times the cost
of the Panama canal and SO times
the cost of the war of 1912. Ex-
penses of the Civil war were less

Operating expenses of the gov
ernment are equivalent to $42 for
