known as one of the best routes to the Presidents ears. Even then she was a collector of people with ideas. And she shifted them so skillfully that when she phoned, President Wilson usually saw the person she wanted him to see.
 Mrs. Hartman is impatient with people who call her handsome. But that she is. Almost six feet tall. Straight as a rod because her father hired an army man to give her exercises as a child. Her hair now is white, her eyes brilliant, her voice low. And her interest in life is intense and generous.
 She even has admirers, still. Twitted about them, she snorts, Why, they're friends" But they do bring her flowers and make old fashioned cDuftly compliments.
 Early Social Worker
 Daisy Hartman started out as one of New York's rich young matrons. But it wasn't long be- fore she was chin deep in work to get milk for the poor, care for the tubercular. Charles Evans Hughes, as New York's Governor, put her on her first official committee the board of women's reforma- tory. Mrs. Hartman went out to take a look-see and came back en- Enthusiastically saying, They're such nice girls In the First World War she headed womens defense work, on President Wilson's request.
 She was in Paris when the Ver- sailles treaty was signed. And she saw the signing. Then she came home to fight for the League of Nations. That's how her Sunday night dinners started. Getting peo- pie together to thrash out the sub ject.
 Then came the long, dry-for her years of Republican rule. And then the Democrats back in, and President Roosevelt asking her to represent the country in Norway. She was asked about that appoint ment when it was just rumor, and she retorted in typical fashion: Certainly I'll take it. Who wouldn't"
 She Skis at 67
 She fell in love with the Nor wegians, and they with her. The nation read and chucked when Madame Minister at 67, learned to ski. And when the invasion came she was the first to get the news out
 Then for two weeks she dodged bombs as she shuttled across the Swedish order with news to phone to the American minister at Stockholm. He was worried about her, and during one phone call asked How are you?"
 Madame Minister came right back, Never felt better in my life'
 Just about that time, in Wash ington, President Roosevelt inter upted a cabinet meeting with al grin to ask, Isn't Daisy doing 8 swell job?"

By SIGRID ARNE AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Daisy Hartman is this kind of person:
 Some years back she had about 30 people in for a Sunday night dinner to meet Winston Churchill Before her dinners she always plants. 2 conversational bomb some where so that the talk-which is her reason for entertaining will roll along merrily
 So this time she prompted a male guest, as coffee came in, to ask: Why doesn't Britain pay her war debt?"
 The man she handed that task almost tainted. But he carried through. And the evening was en- joyed by all. Even-as the hour grew late-by Churchill
 Daisy is the tall, energetic wo- man of TO who has recently come back from Norway where she served as the American Minister. She is the widow of banker J. Borden Hartman and the daughter of an English shipping family. Both fortunes are now in remnants, but she carries on in the grand man. ner.
 A True Salon
 For two decades before she went to Norway-she was prob ably the only American woman who ran a true salon. She invited in a group-never more than 32-- to Sunday night suppers. The guests were always topflight fig ures in the current political fights. Mrs. Hartman enforced two rules. no one was ever to grow angry and no one was to repeat what had been said. Those who failed never were invited back. There's surprisingly little information on the historic debates which have gone on under her roof.
 She has routine. No cocktails before dinner and no wine with 1t. But there is beer and whisky for those who want it. The main course is simple--a sbaked dish CT a casserole.
 The guests stay at the table after the coffee comes, and either Mrs. Hartman or some prompted guest starts the ball rolling with hot question.
 No Chips on Shoulder
 Mrs. Hartman, herself, IS perfect referee. And that's the se- cret of her dinners. She, herself, is never the violent protagonist. Always wants to hear both sides. She's amusingly impatient with legalistic or heavily philosophic phrasing Interrupts with. Now go back. don't know what you're talking about"
 Her home is a good setting-a comfortable. rambling place on a hill above the Potomac. The furni- ture is a tumble of fine old pieces many of them French. The ta- ble in her library is heavy with the months best magazines. And they're read.
 She starts her day, characteris- tically, with energy. It's 8:30 when the maid brings coffee and a roll to her bed. By that time the madame is already half through the paper and on the phone, per- haps calling an important Senator to ask if he's speaking that day.
 In the Wilson days she was

Dealers Commemorate 35th

Thirty-five years ago this month
on April 10, 1906-the city of San
Francisco was laid low by earth
tremors and resultant fire. Today
most everyone knows the story OF
the gallant and successful fight that
city made to recover it's place among
the metropolises Of the world.
To remember this fateful llolo-
caust, Chevrolet dealers last week
dispatched a scout car to Golden
Gate Park in San Francisco, where
the last souvenir of the tragedy is
enshrined, the famous Portals of
the Past"
Thousands of western visitors are
expected to visit the portals, now
the center of a beautiful frame of
trees and shrubs, with the waters of
a little lake to reflect their Ionic
symmetry. On the morning of
April ID, 1905, the columns were the
front door Of the A. N. Towne resi-
dence at the south west corner of
California and Taylor Streets on
Mob Hill. A specially designed gaso-
line service station now occupies the
site of the home of Towne, who was

Of the Southern Pacific railroad for
many years.
