 Scholarship Fund

Stanford University, Cal. (UP)- Two dollars may be lot of money to pay for a cup of tea and a few sandwiches, but when you have the tea in President Herbert Hoover's home it's different matter. So that they might say Eve had tea at the tHoovers." more than s. 700 women paid $2 each during the past two years at teas staged in the presidents campus residence here, university officials announced to-day. Proceeds are used by the Uni- versity Mothers club, which spon- sors the events, to provide schol- arshpis for needy students. The scholarships, Dean of Wo- men Mary Yost said in revealing receipts from the teas, range from small sums to $150. These schol- arships, she declared, are emer- gency awards to deserving students
 not eligible for university scholar ships under university reputation. Twenty-two hundred women paid $2 each to attend the Hoover House" tea given by the Mothers club last month, Dean Yost an- nounced. Of this amount, $1,800
 will be expended in scholarships, she said.
 Use of the presidents residence was granted two years ago when the first of the Mothers club teas was presented. Guests are allowed to see the room where MT. Hoover received the news of his election. his bedroom, and the library where he penned his campaign speeches.

 Pleasure will thus be combined with business. A pamphlet issued by the tourist society urges the members to look downward for rare metals instead of upward for pleasant scenery. It argues that with mineral knowledge of sciences the study of the ground they walk on can become even more exciting that observation of the landscape.
 Soviet tourists, whose number is growing every year, will be trained to collect likely samples of rniner- als. chemicals and fossils and trans init them to the proper scientific institutes. with indications of the localities where they were found.

BRITISH ROYAL
 FAMILY FAMED
 FOR ITS HEALTH
Few Official Engagements Cancelled Because
 of Illness

London.-The British royal fam fly is one of the healthiest in the whole country. Its constitution borders on the remarkable.
 For instance: It was his consti- tuition that saved King George when he was near death as the re- suit of bronchial pneumonia in 1928. It has been said that the doctors attending him were amazed at his resistance.
 Queen Mary probably has had less illness than any other mem- Der of the royal family. Recently she had a cold, and within a few days she was out-of-dors. Since she became Princess of Wales, the queen has had to cancel an en- gagement only once. and that was when she was unabl to accom- pany the king to the opening of parliament three years ago. Al that time also she was sufferinE from a cold.
 Keep Up Tradition
 Tn this respect Queen Mary Is keeping up tradition. It is said that from the time of the corona tion of Queen Alexandra to the present day, the occasions on which the queens of England have been unable to fulfill their public engagements could be counted on one hand.
 Another hardy member of the royal family is the Prince o1 Wales. His health and his phys ical fitness is one. of the prince idiosyncrasies. It is said that he has a dread of fatness, and used to stand in front of a mirror. te see, as he himself said. whether he was getting fat like grand father (King Edward).'
 Prince Had Cold
 The prince also had cold re- gently, which caused him to can eel an official visit to Portsmouth to review part of the Atlantic fleet. The chill, which was mala rial, confined him to his room fol a couple of days, only.
 Taking their cue from kin' George, the royal family are yer. scrupuious about their official en agreements. Since Queen Victoria funeral, when he had a chill whicl prevented his attendance, until hi serious illness in 1928. Kim George has never cancelled a sin gled engagement.
