 Meantime, two other Coast Guard boats and a commercial tug were ready to leave Key West as soon as the weather improved. It was believed that no attempt would be made to pull the Dixie off the reef until the ships condition had been determined.
 Earlier messages from the grounded ship reported leaks and that the ship was taking water. Later, the Dixie reported 1t was .'not leaking 50 much as before
 Advices received at the Key West Coast Guard indicated the Dixie was being driven higher on the reef by pounding seas and power full winds from the west and south- west.
 Ship Experts Alarmed
 Ship experts ashore believed the 9 Dixies plight became increasingly grave as great seas broke over her pounding her more and more firm ly upon bleak Carysfort Reef at tho eastern entrance to the Flor ida Keys. Unless the seas abated soon, they believed, the luxurious New York New Orleans liner would be pounded to bits. They pointed ominously to the improba- bility of any seamen, no matter how skilled, being able to launch life boats in such seas.
 Sailors familiar with the straits said that tl e reef probably was be- ing washed by great seas, with only it's lighthouse showing above the furious waves.
 Through an improvised radio, tho Dixie sent periodic flashes in- forming rescue vessels she was still afioat. At q a. m. (EST) she re- ported sheg was leaking-but not 50 badly as before."

 The Hoover mystery is develop ing a popular interest that is com parable to that attaching in 1927 to former President Coolidge's cryptic T do not choose to run in 1928"
 None ever discovered whether MT. Coolidge intended that gem of colloquial obscurantism as a refusal to accept the 1928 nomina- tion or merely 8 gesture in ex- pectation that a grateful party would not sign waivers on the prophet of economy in govern ment.
 Whatever 1t meant, the republi- cans in Kansas City proceeded di rectly to the nomination of MT. Hoover and MT. Coolidge was re- leased to the insurance business and literature.
 Must Look Elsewhere
 When MT. Hoover left Washing ton in 1888 he appeared reconciled to political oblivion. If his mind was in doubt 1t must have been set right early in the Roosevelt special session of 1893 when a group of staunch Hoover men in congress passed word to Palo Alto that the party must look else- where in 1886.
 nf nbin a senator and formerly chairman of the republican national committee, informed the United Press in 1883 that Mir. Hoover sincerely de- sired to be passed over when the time came again ot choose a re- publican nominee.
 Fess explained that MT. Hoover s ambition was to help pick the man to beat Roosevelt in 1886 and that he wanted to say large and final word on the republican plat form.
 That may still be the limit of MT. Hoover's ambition. His tac- tics in recent months might be directed either at obtaining d nominal party leadership pointing toward active participation in the platform making the strategy of 1886 presidential year.
 In any event, MT. Hoover was long silent until last February. Then he startled the country with telegram to the United Press de- manding that the administration resume the gold standard.
 Since then the former president has been heard from frequently. He has travelled often across the continent talking with party lead CTS from coast t-to-coast. Moreover, he has regained the peace of mind and sense of humor which deserted him in the last two bitter years

 It was announced officially that Air Marshal Italo Balbo, governor of Tripolitania and life member Of the Fascist grand council reported to Benito Mussolini at his Venice palace yesterday.
 "Balbo reported to Mussolini on the military situation in Libya (part of Tripolitania) as the result of the departure of many native troops who volunteered for service in East Africa" it was announced. 'These troops will be replaced by Metropolitan units"
 On Large Scale
 There were indications that the troop movement might be on a large scale, for it was said at the time of the conference that 1t was so important there probably. would be 6 communicate.
 Italy's chief defense force in Tripolitania is listed as about Ill., 200 officers and men of colonial units. However, there are also carabiniers, Italian chasseurs, or- mored cars. artillery, engineers and lighting airplanes in considerable number.
 Tripolltanla is bounded on the east by Egypt and the Sudan which bounds also part of the southern border under cession OF territory to Italy last year.
 Dispatch of regulars to Tripoli- tania would be calculated to give Italy preponderant strength of men not only In Eritrea and Somaliland but in all northeastern Africa, as the Egyptians and British Sudan- csc are not large.

 It was announced officially yes- terday that the additional 200,00 men who are to be called for army servicc--to bring the total strength under arms to 100000 men would be brought in during the second half of September, from the classes of 1911. 1913 and 1914. The call will be for minimum of three months service.

The gentleman in the picture
is wearing a self brocaded silk
robe, which is full silk lined.
Men are partial to this type of
robe because of it's comfort, its
appropriateness both for enter
tanning at home and for lounging
and for its richness in pattern
which is maintained without loss
of masculine simplicity. The col
lar is of grosgrain ribbed silk, the
same type material that men are
using almost entirely for the
lapels of their tuxedos and full
dress suits.
Rolling Bar
The bar shown is new because
it's not only the rolling type, but
it has rubber tired wheels. such
as you'll find on tea wagon. It's
the last word in convenience. as
you can serve in any room, with
out making your guests go to the
bar. It's also practical for a small
apartment, as you can put 1t
away in a closet when it's not in
use. On top of the bar is a silver
deposit cocktail set.
The shelves have a series Of
smart gifts on them. Starting at
the top, we find a navy blue i'm.
ported ground glass liquor set.
The color is masculine. and the
style will fit nicely into almost
any room. Men like their own
liquor accessories, whether they
are bachelors or householders,
and these we are showing have
been carefully selected for men.
In front of the blue set is
cigarette box with a Scottle dog
on top, and beside it is lighter to
match. Smoking accessories are al.
ways popular, too, and if you look
around you'll find that few men
have really good looking ones.
Copper and Iron
On the center shelf is a Tantalus
set, especially designed for a mans
living room. 1t is of wrought iron.
which is masculine looking. and
has copper finishings. It's practi-
cal, too, as h e wrought iron
doesn't need polishing or clean
ing. and the copper is resistant to
alcoholic beverages. In front of
the TantaluS set is an onyx and
chromium cigarette box with
lighter to match, very smart and
modern looking.
On the bottom shelf are more
accessories to entertaining. On
the left is silver deposit crystal
cocktail shaker. In the center is
a dogs head bottle opener. and
to the right recipe cocktail
shaker This shaker is made so
that by turning the outside shell
to the name of any desired drink,
there will appear the exact recipe
for concocting the drink.

I imagine that, when you ar

it will not be necessary for you
to introduce yourself. since the
hostess will undoubtedly make the
necessary introduCtions of her

And if you know the mothers
name and through your daughter,

might say, How do you do, Mrs.
