HOOVER READY
To RUN AGAIN

President Hoover has told
friends he will be receptive" to
the Republican presidential nomi.
nation in 1896.
His plans have not definitely
matured but he is determined to
retain titular leadership Of the
party in the next four years.
It was made plain the President
will not permit his ambitions to
interfere with or embarrass the
Roosevelt administration. For a
year, at least, he will withdraw
from public life. His first anx
iety, he has told friends, is to see
economic recovery of the country
and he will gladly cooperate If
Roosevelt desires his services.
When Hoover leaves the Capital
after the Inauguration, March 4,
he will go direct to New York and
board a steamer that night for
California, stopping off for a fish,
ing trip in the Canal Zone. Mrs.
Hoover will go to Palo Alto by

WOMEN LAUNCH
CAMP PA|GN FOR
MRS. DELL

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 GNS).
A new battle against sex dis
crn1iniation in Federal appoint
ments was promised today, as a
committee was formed for the
support Of Jessie M. Dell for
president of the Civil Service
Commission. ....
Miss Dell, for seven and a half
years Democratic member of the
commission, which is made up
Of two representatives Of the
political party in power and one
Of the minority party, is the
logical person to head the COM
mission this year, say her
friends.
May Not Be Renamed
Yet. because she is a woman,
declared DR.. Anna W. Hoch-
fielder, assistant corporation coun-
sci of New York city, who Is
organizing Miss Dell'S support,
rumor has it the presidency may
be given to the other aS-yet-un-
named Democrat.
There even are whispers that
Miss Dell will not be renamed
to the commission at all. Mrs.
Nellie Tayloe Ross, former COVER
nor Of Wyoming, and former
Consresswoman Ruth Bryan
owen, daughter Of the late VIII
liam Jennings Bryan. have been
mentioned as possible appointees:
It is considered unlikely that
President-elect Roosevelt would
appoint two women to the com"
mission, although he probably Is
desirous Of giving women repre-
sentation on the commission,
since one-fifth of all Civil Service
Jobs are held by women.
Seek Backing Of Clubs
The women want Commissioner
Dell continued in office, Mrs.
Rockefeller declared, because it
was largely due to her efforts
that President Hoover issued an
Executive order recently revoking
the privilege under which ap-
pointing officers could specify the
sex of eligibles for appointment
to fill vacancies in Civil Service
Jobs.
The American Alliance Of Civil
Service Women, Of which Mrs.
Hochfelder is president, had been
trying for years to remove that
requirement.
DR.. Gertrude Duncan, execu-
tive member of the Democratic
Business and Professional League,
and Mrs. Lillian r. Sire, presi-
dent of the Women's National
Democratic Club of New York,
are working with Mrs. Hochfelder
In organizing womep's clubs
throughout the country in sup
port Of Miss Dell.

IT'S the exceptional golfer who

treatment Is needed than that en-
ployed by a regular shot from the
fairway. In the first place he holds
the club tighter In such a situa-
tion. not to the point of rlgidity but
firm enough so that the grass
through which the clubhead travels
has no chance to turn 1t In the
slightest Secondly instead of d.
recting his shot at the ball Chick
aims at a spot In the long grass a
bit behind II. The clubhead contin-
uing its downward arc viii thus hit
the ball squarely. He uses a re-
Taxed swing even though the grip Is
frightened here and his follow
through a bit longer than usual. OBJ
viously his intention Is to make sure
that the ball Is hit and hit hard
enough to raise 1t from Its close lie.

Strip Farming

In one district In Saskatchewan
a change In methods seemed neces-
sary to combat soil drifting. A bet
ter farming society took the matter
into consideration and acting on adj
vice from the fields crop branch OF
the department of agriculture, de-
cided to try strip farming, a meth
cd that did not involve the pur-
chase OF any machinery or any great
expense. Last season there were
about $500 acres Of light land
planted In strips. Those who prac-
ticed the plan on thin stubble fields
were able to produce a crop for
the first time In four years. Those
who have adopted strip farming are
going to continue and others who
did not strip their lands last year
are quite willing to try 1t this year.

years until all Of this light land will
be farmed In this way.-Montreal

Shakespeare Education

William Shakespeare had all the
education necessary to write the
plays attributed to him. The Bard
of Avon was well qualified to do
the work he did. Far from being an
untutored rustic, he probably was
as competent a scholar as Bacon
himself, Chaucer, Spencer or even
Milton. He had the same training
that they had. but he made more of
his opportunities than they did.--Ex-
