- AMP RAPIDAN, Va, August 20.
With their rustic Rapidan
L Mountain camp as backdrop,
~ President and Mrs. Hoover to-
day re-enacted parts of their
customary outdoor routine in front OF
the cameras of score of newsreel and
newspaper photographers.
Picture men, along with a small
group of newspaper correspondents,
were entertained as guests at the
mountain retreat and were served
luncheon at the presidential table be-
fore departing.
Gracious and smiling, despite often
conflicting demands from half dozen
camera directors" the Chief Execu-
tive worked for an hour and half at
fishing riding, posing with the First
Lady, sitting in repose with book and
playing with the two most favored
White House CANNES, pat" and Wee
jie." Many Of the pictures taken Will
be seen often in the campaign for Mr..
Hoover's reelection.
Photographers in Charge.
The President placed himself in the
hands of his guest photographers short
" after their arrival at the camp.
Donning boots and taking his favorite
rod. he whipped the shallow waters of
Mills Greek for Is minutes while the
camera men swarmed along its banks
and over the bridge that crosses it.
Mr.. Hoover probably would have had
more luck with less company, for the
group on shore evidently frightened
away a sizable mountain trout seen a
few moments before. He went flsh-less.
Then came quick change. The
President went to his cabin, situated
on a peninsula formed by Mills and
Laurel Creeks. which join to make the
minutes later in riding habit Without
changing the coat and panama hat
in which he fished, he donned gray
whipcord breeches high shoes and leg
gins. With Mrs. Hoover he walked and
rewalked from the porch Of his cabin
and then posed upon a tiny patch OF
green lawn under huge, spreading
trees, with a small waterfall as back
ground.
Next came the horseback riding
scene. The President rode gracefully
astride his favorite gelding Billy, proud
and prancing under a saddle cloth car
rying the presidential coat Of arms and
four stars.
Guests Follow Proceedings.
Throughout the protracted picture
taking, several of the Presidents guests,
including acting Secretary Castle of
the State Department; Mrs. Thomas A.
Edison. widow of the inventor, and her
daughter, Mrs. John E. Sloan, followed
the proceedings closely. Other guests,
among them Robert Lincoln O'Brien,
chairman of the Tariff Commission;
c. M. Morrison, editor of the Philadel-
pnia Public Ledger. and John c.
Martin, vice president of the Curtis
Martin newspapers either were hiking
or in their cabins.
Newspaper men found the mountain
camp much improved since their last
visit there as rToup two years ago
Shrubbery and trees are so arranged
as to make most of the cabins seem
to stand apart. The cabins are con-
nected by carefully graded paths. A
rock fountain fills the entire camp with
the sound of ripping water.
Amid all this rusticity, however. one
