are in business together, snare ana
share alike.
Mrs. Hoyal has a hearty Western
handshake: no drawing room finger
tips for her. Her sporting qualities
impress one. She has always been
willing to take a chance out in her
State, where they grow Democrats.
She thinks they are dreadfully in er-
ror, but they cannot help it. When
asked how she accounted for the
large amount of money spent in travel
this past Summer-4,000, 900 visitors
to New England alone. who spent, up
there, nearly 100000, ,000-she said
they doubtless thought it was just
as we'll to spend their money as to
have it taken from them by the Gov
ernment, or to lose it in the high cost
of living. She pointed to the state
ment that it took $l80 to buy now
what 81 bought in 1929.
AS q prominent member of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, Mrs. Hoyal was chairman of the
sixth women's patriotic conference on
national defense here in 1881. She
descended from the old Colonial FAM
lilies of Winslow aud Nye in Massa-
chuSettS. She has Travelled extensively
in different parts of the world and
is now and always has been interested
in the welfare of children and the
veterans Of the World War.
Mrs. Hoyal has been carrying crl a
very active campaign in promoting
Constitution day celebrations in all
the States. In New York City tomor-
row Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, widow
Of the late President, will make the
keynote address at the celebration.
1t is rarely that Mrs. Roosevelt con-
sents to speak publicly, but when she
does she carries particular influence.
Both Mr.. Fletcher and Mrs. Hoyal
will speak at the meetings In New
York tomorrow and Tuesday.
The country seems aroused to action
and while there is what President
Roosevelt calls a breathing spell there
appears to be perfect marathon of
patriotic activities going on.
Forty speakers, headed by the Sec
retary of State, Mr.. Hull; Mayor La
University Of Wisconsin, Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and others, under the
theme America Faces a Changing
World" will discuss the situation fac
ing this Nation during the fifth an
nual forum Of current problems at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel October Is, 16
and II. These assemblies are spon-
ored by the New York Herald Tribune.
Since a small boy, when Franklin
Roosevelt searched his Grandfather
Delano's attic and old warehouses up
in Massachusetts, for ship gadgets, for
gotten tales of the sea and ship lore
generally, he has had penchant for
nosing about in out-of-the- e-way places,
cubby holes and closets for things
pertaining to ships. The salt Is in
his blood, so in 1918, when he was
made Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
Under Secretary Daniels, it was the
most natural thing in the world for
him to wander around the old State,
War and Navy Building in search of
information.
Up under the caves Of the old build
ing he realized some Of his fondest
dreams. for there he found ancient
Government files, manuscripts and
journals which read like a romance
and breathed of the earliest history
Of the American Navy. Letters writ
ten Y George Washington, then eX-
President, to Benjamin Stoddert, first
Secretary Of the Navy; the original
regulations regarding the uniforms
for the Maya full dress coat of
blue cloth with long buff lapels. stand
ing collar and lining of buff, trimmed
in full. with gold epaulet on each
shoulder for the captains Lieu
tenants Of Marines were to wear long
blue coats with long lapels of red and
red standing collars, red vests and
blue breeches.'
Shortly one of the dreams of the
President is to come true, for there
is now being published the first volume
