LITTLE ROCK, Ark, September g.
Camp Pike, where a few days ago
staccato commands echoed across the
drill grounds and rumbling artillery
passed in review, today was turned lit
orally into sewing bee.
AS the Army moved out, except for
. lone bugler, 1900 farm wives from 68
counties of Arkansas moved In to organ
ize the first real rest camp ever to be
held for rural women. Farm camps
have been held here before with the
men playing the leading roles. But this
time theren be no men, no cooking and
no babies. The cooks will be hired for
the occasion, and they will prepare their
menus from the jars and the baskets
brought in today from 1900 farms.
For three days there mothers so
usually busy with the housework, the
canning and the chores, will rest az
play.
The whole idea is that Of Miss Connie

A SERIES OF FRIENDLY MESSAGES TO WASHINGTON

and rarely felt that he had time to close his
desk and 60 away for rest and recreation.
Most Presidents followed the theory that It
was their duty and responsibility to make the
final DECISIONS but that 1t was the duty Of
their subordinates to work out the details OF
the various problems and produce the answers.
In this respect Calvin Coolidge viii stand out
as the greatest exponent of such theory. He
was rigid in his determination to not do the
work Of others and he minced no words In
making this known to those subordinates who
came to him in the hope that he would solve
some particular problem at least help out
with the answer.
Mr.. Harding's nature was such that he was
willing TO assume some Of the work Of his
department heads, but he was generally tagging
so far behind with the work that was solely
his own. that his good intentions resulted tn
Just that-good intentions. Mr.. Wilson
possessed some Of this Hoover trait, but he
knew where to draw the tine.
Probably every man who has occupied the
high Office Of President has at one time or an
other said that saying no. was the hardest
and meanest part Of the work as President
Everybody seems to want something" is
the way all who have been President have ex-
pressed themselves soon after taking over the

would say without hesitancy that his was
man killing" job. but he seems to have thrived
on it, and from all accounts and appearances
he Is looking better and feeling better than
when he entered the Office Of President four
years ago. His intimates describe it as play"
for him. He evidently has enjoyed those many
hours Of toll.
Therefore when the question Is asked just
what is the work President has to do, it can
be answered by saying that 1t depends greatly
upon the ideas and traits and habits of the
individual who is President.
~ course, there Is q set routine. This has
~ been virtually the same throughout the
years, with little change, but probably a little
more burdensome each year. But leaving out
the routine work, the presidential labors are
just about what President makes them.
The drought of three years ago. the economic
depression with its ever-increasing unemploy-
ment, and the foreign debt problem were suffi-
cient In themselves to overtax any one Presi-
dent, but despite his many hours Of worry be-
cause Of these problems, Mr.. Hoover has borne
up under the strain in q most remarkable fash
ion In spite of all these things to worry
about he has made extra work for himself in
other directions.
His intimates will admit readily that he has
gone out Of his way in this respect, by taking
over the work Of others-his subordinates He
has personally worked out problems that were
the first concern Of q department head and
more often the concern of some one as obscure
as a departmental division or bureau chief. It
was because of this characteristic that he was
always busy, always bent over struggling with
some problem or another. It was because Of
this trait that he was seldom seen at leisure,

one quarter OF all the letters addressed to him.
II he attempted to see more he probably would
not have time to do anything else and besides.
he would read some very mean things about
himself. as well some disturbing things.
Throughout the Hoover administration there
was an average of TOO letters daily, in addition
to scores of packages and kilograms. The in
coming and outgoing telephone calls averaged
1000 day, which was SO per cent more than
during the preceding administration
But, one of the really big jobs of the presi-
Dental Office is handling the mail. There is
one chief mail clerk with two assistants, who
open all the mail and packages and then
classify them according to the nature of their
contents. Some few go directly to the President.
The rest are handled by the Presidents sew
eral secretaries. Many Of these letters are sent
directly to some one of the Government de-
partpents, to answer.
Seldom does day go by without a number
of letters from persons asking aid either
finar cial or in the form of employment. Then
there are the daily crank letters from mentally
unbalanced persons who have some great in
vention to show the President or who have
some plan calculated to bring about the end of
war, or the end Of the economic depression, and
to bring about all sorts of conditions leading
toward utopia. In addition there are the daily
average of letters criticizing and finding fault
and denouncing the President for mistakes
and those letters in which the physical safety
of the President is threatened.
While the mail reading and answering oc-
cupies considerable of the time of the execu-
tive Office staff, the system is such as to relieve
the President from any great amount ol
physical effort.
The greatest trial confronting the President,
however, each day is having to give audiences
to a certain number Of people and listen to
their wants. Virtually every day at least tive
or three Senators and as many House members
present themselves at the executive Office to

pet legislation of interest only to their par-
ticular State or congressional district.

There are about 10000 Of these more choice

of which are postmasters. OF course, the Presi-
dent leaves the selection of the vast majority
of the postmasters to the Postmaster General
and the Senators and party leaders in the
