policing consumers or distri-
buting food cards. He could
not do otherwise because he
was a free man, brought up in
a land of free institutions,
whose greatest accomplish
ments had come out of the free
ly given cooperation of it's CT
tizens. This method brings out
the best in men and the basic
source of Hoover's strength is
that he always appeals to the
best in men.
Over and beyond this Hoo
yer held the conviction that
government, and especially in
time of war, should unvarying-
ly avoid tinkering with the
complicated machinery of pri-
vate business. On the other
hand, he held just as deep a
conviction that government
should lead, advise, adjust and
harmonic but never, except
in instances of wrong-doing,
should it step in and use it's
power.
No sharper or clearer con-
trast of the peoples reaction
to the Hoover method of opera
ton of "centralized ideas but
decentralized authority" in
World War I can be found than
with World War IFS central
lied ideas and centralized au-
thority" method of operation.
The Food Administration, with
resourceful and understanding
leadership, enlisted the fullest
voluntary cooperation of mil
lions of Americans in the gil
gantic job of producing suffi-
cient surplus food for Allied
needs. Those who were unable
to fight, millions of them, also
longed for a way to serve and
sacrifice. That is the shining
halo of glory which hovers over
free men.
S: Hoover's American Relief
Administration Work
1918-1921
Almost before the sound had
died away of the last shot fired
at II a. m. on the morning of
November II, 1918, Hoover
was winding up his Food Adj
ministration affairs. Now he
was soon to start again to Eu-
rope. This time he went with
a commission from President
Wilson to deal with post-armis-
tice problems of provisioning
the undernourished people of
Europe.
The job he faced was, never
theless, an almost insoluble, i'm
possible one. Germany was
starved out and some Allied
officials held that the starving
condition of her people was a
good thing. The Austrian-Hun-
garians were in an even worse
condition than the Germans;
Poland and the Russian pro-
vinces which Germany had
overrun still even worse off
and all southeastern Europe
disorganized and hungry. A
cold winter blanketed Europe.
On top of all this Allied Off
Gals refused to withdraw the
blockade against the central
empires until peace terms were

competence.
The record would not be
complete without mention of
the fact that every year tens
of thousands of men in Ameri-
ca, Australia, Russia and else
where, where many of them
were organized into unions, la
bored in the far-flung enter
prises he directed but at no
time, anywhere in any of them,
did they ever call a strike in
a Hoover-managed enterprise.
3: Hoover Enters Public
Service 1914
In 1914, when World War I
started, Mr.. Hoover was in
London as Commissioner of San
Francisco's proposed Panama
Pacific Exposition.
American tourists hurried by
the thousands into London
from the continent, many of
whom were without funds due
to the wars dislocations. Hoo
yer became head of a volunteer
group which cared for the tour
lists and helped to get them
started home.
Soon thereafter the German
invasion of Belgium and later
of northern France combined
with the British blockade cut
off the food supplies of about
nine million people. The Unit
ed States Ambassador called
Mr.. Hoover to the Embassy
and told him of the desperate
need of these innocent victims.
It was Hoover the mining en-
gineer who walked into the
American Embassy on that Oc-
tober day in 1914 and Hoover
the humanitarian who walked
out a few hours later.
Two months later he formed
the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, an organization with
out precedent in history, and
which created a wholly new
pattern of humanitarian work.
It had it's own ships which flew
its own flag: it made contracts
and informal treaties with the
governments of both belliger-
ents and issued it's own pass
ports. It was neutral as be-
tween belligerents and fire.
quently had controversies with
both belligerents. It's only pow
er was the power of the spirit,
of integrity, reason and unself-
ish service. Right was it's might.
Between October 1914 and
August 1919 it's sales and pur-
chase account totaled $685.
100000 at an overhead cost
of three-eighths of one per
cent. It's nearly 70 vessels trans
ported 5,174,431 metric tons of
foodstuffs and clothing in 993
overseas passages.
Mr.. Hoover received no sal
airy for his services and he paid
all of his own personal expens-
es. Since that time he never has
accepted, or if accepted has
not kept for himself, any COM
pensation for his public servic-
es He has sought to give his
all to his beloved country.

Piles and Quaker thinking and
methods became his thinking

to the man. Quaker strengths
are his strengths and Quaker

No one can say to what exact

Quaker ways have colored
Herbert Hoover's life and fix
ed it's purpose. But evidences
of their influence exists in
many of his speeches and in
the great majority of his &C
lions. Whatever he has in the
way of faults and limitations
and in strengths and weakness
es can be traced directly back
to his Quaker birthright.
The demands which Mr..
Hoover's need, profession and
ideals placed on him while he,
as an orphan, was growing up
and earning his own living and
education, advancing in his
profession and gaining a COM
petence, left him with neither
desire nor capacity to waste
time on what he believed were
non-essentials. With him, as
with one of my own midwest

mothers, 'Life is a very serious
thing" Hoover came directly
under my grandmother's gen.
Grafton. He had her outlook

The details of the American
Relief Administration and it's
disheartening battles against
delay, hate and greed would
make a long story. It was at
tackled on the grounds that it
was too soft with the defeated
enemy. These charges as we'll

staff's heroic efforts to abate
hunger, which knows no time
schedules - these, and other
chapters of the ARA have been
told by historians. They will
be retold a thousand times af-
ter the manner of men who re-
live great and fine deeds.
Hoover's resourceful efforts
in overcoming blockades, curb
ing greed, softening hate and
feeding the needy, gave the
world many years of peace
which it might otherwise not
have had. He was guided in all
this by his Quaker principles
which rested on the belief that
only moral and spiritual values
will endure.
The American Relief Asso-
citation was and is Hoover at
his best. It helped to bring him
to the crest of a fruitful life al
though popular acclaim for him
has moved like the ebb and
flow of tides. But whether the
tide was low or full, his faith
and purpose stood firm.
6: Secretary of Commerce
and Rowing Quarterback
1921-1928
One of the many early jobs
he tackled as Secretary of Com
merce was that of eliminating
waste. He knew that manufac-
turers of nearly every kind of
product were turning out an
unnecessary number of designs
and sizes. Paving brick manu-
facturers were producing sixty
six different sizes of brick. This
variety of bricks not only con-
tributed nothing to either the
beauty of our cities or to reduc-
ing the cost of brick manufac-
turing. This was the case be-
cause replacement needs re-
quired the producers to have
and keep special machinery in
working order, tie up capital
in stock of odd or little used
sizes for no good or useful rea-
son.
Hoover's assistants first got
the facts from the leaders of
happy to cooperate industry,
working through his newly
created Division of CONNER
cial Standards. With all of the
pertinent facts in hand Hoover
called a conference of repre-
sentatives of brick producers,
manufacturers in related fields
and municipal officials - the
consumers. Out of this confer
ence came an agreement, mu-
tually and voluntarily approx
ed, that the paving brick manu-
facturers would reduce the
number of sizes of bricks they
manufactured from 81 to II.

2: Making Horatio Alger
Heroes Pikers

Mr.. Hoover entered STAN
ford University in 1891 when
he was seventeen years old. He
earned money for his education
and was graduated with his
class in 1895. He had majored
in mining engineering and en-
tered that profession. During
the next two years he had adj
vanced so far that he was re-
commended for and given the
job of directing the mining en-
terprises in Australia of a large
London firm. Two years later
his Australian record brought
him an offer at $4,000 per
year Che was then four years
out of Stanford and rs years
old) from the Chinese govern
ment to make a survey and
take charge of all mining &C
tivities in China.
A few years experience in
China established his genius
as a mining engineer which en-
abled him to earn stable fees
as a consultant. The London
firm with which he had begun
his Australian mining career
offered him a partnership. He
accepted it. Soon thereafter
discovery was made of the
previous defalcations of large
sums of money by an employee.
Hoover's moral and legal liza
bility as a new partner was fix
ed at $4,000. He insisted that
he was a full partner and the
firms honor was his honor. Ac-
cordingly, he met this in full
with over 100000.
Starting from scratch again
he accumulated a substantial
fortune of about six-million
dollars by 1914. This came
from his fees as a consultant,
which were large, and profits
from his personal mining VEN
lures. The bulk of it came from
a mine in Burma, which pre-
vious to his purchasing it had
been considered valueless be-
cause of an almost inextricable
infusing of base and precious
metals. But Hoover whipped

on from the elementary and high
school system of North Carilina
and the ranks of the army in the
South Pacific through the classes
of Atlanta University, takes his
place this year in Shorter as the
new dean of the institution.
An interesting parallel to the
work of his predecessor in the
deanship is found in the fact that
his wife, Mrs. Miller. a master of
arts from Temple University, is
the teacher of English. as was al
so Mrs. Rutland, who came before
her.
Mr.. & Mrs. Miller are little
more than bride and groom. While
