Nature Research Work Being Done

Among the notable scientists

among the mountains of Western
North Carolina, one of the most
outstanding is Miss Maude Nc

Fruitland.
Miss McDaniels was first at

devoted to "An Animated Maya

High School auditorium under the
direction of Prof. Edwin Osgood
Grover, Professor of Books, at
Rollins College. Desiring to learn
something more about this unique
idea, Miss McDaniels came over
for a few days. During her stay
she became so much impressed
with the town and the surrounding
country that she. returned, with
all plans made for spending
twelve months in a study of the
plant life here, under the season.

/ Miss McDaniels, who has her
f. M. A. degree from the University
of Wisconsin, did graduate work
at the University of Washington,

was beginning to realize the
thankless nature of the, job he
had undertaken. His 56th birth
day was spent at Camp Rapidan,
but the weekend trip proved to
be no holiday. There was a dis
pute to settle between the army
and navy concerning control OF
the coastal air defense Of the
Canal Zone and Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii. Prohibition was stand
ing worry, and antagonistic re-
action to the budget was at its
highest point. Blame was being
heapcd on the shoulders of the
president for signing the 1880
tariff bill.
Hoover, although at Rapidan,
worked all day Aug. 10, 1881.
Election year was four months
away, and anti-administratiOn at
tacks had begun to fill newspa-
perS and the mouths Of stump ora
tors who condemned the existing
order of things. The president was
blamed for posing as a miracle
man in 1928 and of disclaiming the
ability to bring back prosperity
in 1881.
The final birthday as president,
in 1882, saw the republican con-
vention praising Hoover. shouting
testimonials of its confidence in
his ability and integrity. But
President Hoover, preparing for
his acceptance speech, was tired
and not greatly elated by party
plauditS. He realized his conven-
ton victory did not necessarily
indicate the country's choice.
He went to Camp Rapidan Aug.
z, but even the weather seemed
conspiring against him. A new
heat record was reported Aug. 8.
The president was forced to re-
turn to Washington.
The day before his 58th birth
day anniversary, he was attacked
bitterly by a group of writers
headed by Sherwood Anderson,
stormy petrol of realism and labor,
for evicting bonus seekers. A new
worry the exchange of trade for
debts problems, helped occupy his
attention.
! NO MAJOR WORRIES NOW
/ This year, Hoover has no major
worries. He hopes he will be able
to enjoy his birthday for the first
time in many years.
His friends say he is 'tOo tired
to fully appreciate his freedom

Before going into this nature
research work, Miss Mcdaniel
taught English in State Teachers
College in Kansas for several
years. She now combines her work
in English with her present SUBJ

of Nature in poetry and in liter

and materials which she expects to
use later in more extensive writ

MISS PERKINS
GREAT WORKER.
Woman Cabinet Member
Is Declared the Enigma
" Of Washington
BY FREDERICK, c. OTHMAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

ShilSO IreSS OtdII Correspondents
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. (UP).
-Ma4ame Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins is the enigma of
Washington.
AS the first woman cabinet
member in history she has as
founded, startled and surprised Of
ficialdom in her operation of the
labor department.
Her first revolutionary act was
the publishing Of figures showing
unfavorable employment trends.
Under William Nuckles Doak, her
predecessor, such figures usually
were suppressed.
She then Cived into the gargna-
tuan task o fweeding politics out
of the department. She reorganiz-
ed the federal employment service
She virtually abolished Doak's
deportation squad" which had
been gaining notice by packing
foreign movie stars off to Europe.
She helpe dGraft the 3O-houl
week bill which just missed be-
coming law. While she was in the
midst of trying to shorten work
ing hours for all Americans, her
chauffeur quit. -
He said he was tired of work
ing II hours a day.
The chauffeur spoke at length
+ or publication. Washington
chuckled, but Miss Perkins didn't.
'"There is too much talk ard not
enough work around here" she
said, in making herself inaccessible
to newspapermen. She issued or
ders that the department should
give out no information whatever.
without her personal okay. She
never was available herself to give
this approval.
The situation came to such a
pass that one of her employees
commented:
"a man asked me what time it
was the other day. l told him l
couldn't tell him because Madame
Secretary had not approved"
The employee was discharged a
day or so later. simultaneously
Miss Perkins issued orders that
news men could NOT use Labor
Department telephones to send in
their stories.
"Let them go to their offices
and use their own typewriterS, "
she said.
The weather by then was get
ting hot. So were the scribes.
Whereupon Miss Perkins held one
of her infrequent press confer
ences and Modified her critics by
serving iced ginger ale.
She is so. a Bostonian and a
Lucy Stoner. Her husband is Paul
Wilson, an attorney. He has been
called "Mr. Perkins upon occa-
sion.
Some of Madame Secretary's
photographs flatter her. Some are
most uncomplimentary. None look
like her.
She is a small plump woman,
with dark skin, pleasant smile
and circled eyes, from many years
of really hard work. She gained
her first fame as the efficient Ia.
Dor commissioner of New Yorl;
State. Her tricorn hat became
famous celebrated simultaneously
President Roosevelt liked hel
work so we'll that he appointed
her Secretary of Labor from list
of distinguished possibilities. Miss
Perkins wore her notOrius hat t.
Washington, but it occasiOned sc
much comment that she put il
away in moth balls. She now wears
one of those tricky chapeous which
will go out of style as rapidly as
a popular song.
