his mother, Mrs. James Roosevelt,
started down to Georgia, where the
President will spend his Thanksgiving
holiday. 1t must have seemed almost
like going back home to him, for he has
spent much time there during the past
decade and is beloved by the whole
countryside, which seems to have
adopted him as one of them; whether
they agree with all of his policies or
not they will say he is honest and
fighter.
The manager of his 1,75o-acre hill
farm down there with its little red
farm houses, has simply and adequately
described him according to their way
of thinking when he said, THE Presi-
dent is the kind of fellow who, when
somebody tells him a thing can't be
done out here. wants to know why, and
then, If the reason doesn't satisfy him,
insists on trying it any way" At Warm
Springs the President and his family
are described as not bit ''uppety" but
are sure enough "folks'-which down
South means quality. And a young
Georgian tells an amusing story of an
old colored couple near the Springs
Nose and Mandy, who were trudging
along the road on the way to town
with their market baskets on their
heads, when they heard great
commotion of automobile horns and old
Nose said. Thar was Mistah President
wavin his hat and smilin at us jest
like we was one of the fust families"
The Roosevelt farm has only hun
dred acres under cultivation, as the
crops on the farm SO far are food and
feed-no cotton. and the manager says
the COWS aren't MIXED in marble halls
and the chickens aren't raised by
governeSses He points out that the
farm has not made Mr.. Roosevelt much
money, but, on the other hand, it has not
cost him lot, and the stock has been
improved every year. The Presidents
idea seems to be to show how a farm
may be built up from small start with
q little bit of capital
BY the way, it will be recalled that
the late President Theodore Roosevelt
was Georgian on the diStaff side, his
mother having been Martha Bulloch,
a daughter of Maj James Stephan
and Martha Stewart Bulloch. Maj Bul-
loch was Confederate officer in the
War Between the States and descended
from an ancient titled Scotch and Eng
Ish ancestry. Mrs. Franklin Delano
Roosevelt was a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of Maj. l5ulloch. Her grandfather,
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, was mer-
chant and glass importer of New York
and was married in Roswell. Ga, De-
cenber %, 1858.
The Secretary of State and Mrs. Cor
dell Hull, now on their way to the
seventh Pan-American Conference at
Montevideo, Uruguay, will receive a
rather unique greeting when they land
at Antofagasta and Santiago on their
way down the Chilean coast. The SOL
diers of two armies will honor him;
those of the regular troops-in gold
lace and military array, and those from
the citizens army dressed in overalls.
The latter numbers about 10000 men,
bers scattered throughout the republic
and is two-thirds larger than the regu-
lar army. 1t is composed of lawyers,
doctors and business men who are well
drilled and well armed. This citizen
army is pledged to support constitu-
tional government regardless OF the
party affiliations of members of the gov
eminent.
It has become the practice to include
woman in the personnel of delegations
to national and international confer
ences. Miss Mary Woolley an outstand-

and philanthropic subjects. She is

League and has been member of the

While Miss Breckenridge is said not to
have the outward brilliancy of her
father, the late w. c. P. Breckinridge.
sometime Representative in Congress
from Kentucky and known as the silver
tongued orator. she has inherited from
a distinguished line of statesmen and
lawyers a logical and judicial mind,
arguing from cause to effect clearly and
with precision. Her paternal great
grandfather was Attorney General in
the cabinet of Thomas Jefferson and
her maternal great-grandfather was
Gov. Desha of Kentucky, the friend of
Lafayette. MISS breckenridge Is cousin
OF the late Mr.. Theodore J. Pickett, well
known lawyer and clubman Of Wash
mgton. who was also great-grandson
of Gov. Desha.
For generations the Fish family have
had their beautiful country estates at
Garrison, N. Y. When Congress is in
session, however, Representative and
Mrs. Hamilton Fish, jr., occupy a lovely
house in AShmead place. Here they
bring the ancestral portraits, pictures,
rare china and glass to give the home
atmosphere for which Mrs. Fish is
noted: for she has that rare gift of
transforming a temporary into a real
nome. She is also noted for her cuisine
especially asparagus with eggs HoI-
landaise which has tickelaa az 1870
