In all history of the White House there is no mention made of another who has had the variety of adventure which has befallen the loyal wife of the President of the United States. Adventure has been her lot and she has accepted its results without question and in her own charming, friendly, resourceful way. For Mrs. Herbert Hoover to live in the White House is but another adventure, the cares and the perplexities of which find her ready and capable. A life rich in romance, in contacts with many people, under many flags, living and working happily regardless of physical surroundings, is not to be disturbed by the spacious grounds of the White House, social customs, criticisms or diplomatic turmoils.

Showing Why Mrs. Hoover Could be Expected to do no Differently in the Mrs. DePriest Tea Party. the campus stimulated a friendship which ripened to an enduring romance, little did the young engineer see his road to fame through revolutions, wars and politics. And little did he think that his bride would have to take her turn at a machine gun, assist in technical engineering problems, care for two spirited sons in desert and mountain home, and emerge with the White House as a home. From the companionable little town of Whittier, Lou Henry went to Monterey, and then to San Jose Normal School, and thence to Stanford University. When her father's banking hours were over, the two used to turn amateur geologists and together-for sister and mother were not nearly so keen for sleeping on the ground and eating from tin plates-would swing down the road over the foothills and even up into the high Sierras to camp and fish. This was the frequent program for Lou Henry even during university days when vacation made it possible to leave the campus. At college she was the first of her sex to join the masculine class in its study of geology. It was with some misgivings that the men accepted her. They envisioned difficulties on field days in helping the only girl of the class over rocky ledges, across ravines. When out on the first hike, and a rail fence ahead, the test came. Walking with others of the class to it she placed one hand on the top and with a gay spring vaulted over it easily and without any greater difficulty than stepping over a broken piece of glass. From that time on Lou Henry was "regular." Such an incident is not important except as evidence of the independence of spirit and of resourcefulness always manifested by the present First Lady of the White House. Of course, her love of the out-of-doors naturally found its later expression in her Girl Scout leadership, which she has called, "an adventure in comradeship." While Lou was completing her college course, Herbert Hoover was out in active field work and working hard to establish himself in his chosen branch of mining engineering. When he left for Australia, he and the girl who had studied together were tacitly engaged. And when Hoover was offered the chance to go to China under the Chinese government's department of mines and railways, he sent a long cablegram to Monterey, California, where Lou Henry was then at home. Her reply went winging back to him and soon he was crossing the ocean to get the girl who mutual friends declared "was made for him." Again adventure claimed them in China, for their arrival was followed shortly by the Boxer uprising. News of the trouble, which had long been brewing, sent Mrs. Hoover, with flaming cheeks flying home on her bicycle to try to save her home THE WEEKLY PRESS An interesting shanpshot of Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the President of the United States. eology. that the visioneding the ledges, the first the test of the on the from being looted. It was this same home that she later turned into a hospital. The Hoovers were in Tientsin when the violent revolution overtook them. The slogan was "death to the foreign devils," and the great powers had difficulty in protecting their nationals. There was need of self protection and every foreign group banded together to ward off the danger. "We got back and forth between our homes and the club by creeping along close to the high walls of the compound," Mrs. Hoover explained, "and managed the open corners by shooting past on bicycles." Once, at that time, she encountered a group of Cossacks, helpfully lent by the Russian Legation, in the very act of looting her house. They reacted to her housewifely anger, however, by dropping everything they had in their Mrs. Hoover and her engineer husband found immediate need for their resources. While he was busy organizing the city's defenses, his bride took command of hospital and relief agencies. The compound or living quarters were almost constantly under fire. With rice sacks for barricades, every one kept out of the line of fire as much as possible. It was here that the present First Lady learned the never-to-be-forgotten sound of a whistling shell and the whine of a spent bullet. Serving in any capacity necessary and even manning a machine gun, she spent long hours in warding off the attackers while waiting for the troops of the great powers to rescue them. It was during this period that the Boxers reported her death, for she was a leader and a marked woman. In later days she had an opportunity of reading a long "obituary" that was published in a newspaper while Tientsin was under siege. While the club for foreign women was turned into a hospital, Mrs. Hoover and others carried on their nursing as best they could, and without medicines or anesthetics. Illustrated Feature Section BEN DAVIS, Jr. Feature Editor VER? rt Hoover, wife of the President States. "We got back and forth between our homes and the club by creeping along close to the high walls of the compound," Mrs. Hoover explained, "and managed the open corners by shooting past on bicycles." Once, at that time, she encountered a group of Cossacks, helpfully lent by the Russian Legation, in the very act of looting her house. They reacted to her housewifely anger, however, by dropping everything they had in their hands and escaping only with what they had stowed in their pockets. At another time friends found her in the midst of shrieking shells over her home, calmly going about her tasks and when a marked missle torre through a part of the bedroom that she had just vacated, she went to another part of the house, without panic or visible nervousness. This is the sort of woman that now graces the White House. She has shared with her husband enough adventures for several thrilling stories. Yet, she still remains the charming wife, the loving mother and the true friend. Living under many unusual conditions, she has maintained her genial disposition. Mrs. Herbert Hoover, the lover of the out-of-doors, the unafraid under shell-fire, is also the inveterate home-maker. She creates homes one after another around the world. In Peking, in revolution-torn Tientsin, Tong Shan, where she was the only resident white woman—in Tokio, Leningrad, or St. (Continued on page two) Does This Explain the Real Mrs. Hoover? 2 (Continued from page one) Petersburg, as it was then; in Kalgorli and Broken Hill, Australia; in romantic Mandalay, and between times in less exotic places, such as London and Paris. The homes, wherever they were, breathed a spirit of rest and satisfaction. All were, as one guest put it, "as American as apple pie or corn pone," and through them all ran the motif of the eventual real home — the permanent home for which, from the first, treasures, mostly books were collected—Mrs. Hoover finally built at Palo Alto, overlooking the romantic days spent on the Stanford campus. Before Herbert, Jr., the elder of the two children, was four years old, he had circled the earth three times. That steady traveling gave Mrs. Hoover much concern over her young son's diet, for the stopping places were often remote spots, where milk was apt to be doubtful. Even the soap, she remembers, was not any too reliable. A life of such travel did not daunt her spirits. When, as still a young mother with a baby in arms for which to provide on a long journey to some little known outpost of civilization, she determined to be prepared and thus went out to consult the best baby specialist to be found.

He was not used to such practical mothers. Mrs. Herbert Hoover had brought her notebook and pencil! She explained that what she wanted was not a consultation but a lecture. She sat there and took notes on his discourse. She did up the baby's feedings for the trip and she took with her cases of the appropriate food for the coming months. It has always been this faculty of facing the thing needed, of being unafraid of doing the unusual that has made Mrs. Hoover the unusual woman that she is to-day. And in the eyes of President Hoover, the perfect companion. Girlhood friends of Lou Henry are friends still. They remember her as gay and joyous. Mrs. Evelyn W. Allan, principal of one of the Brooklyn high schools, a college friend and close intimate, says that "Mrs. Hoover has that wonderful gift of always getting at the essentials of life and never fussing over trivial things." Mrs. Allan remembers the time when the two Hoover sons were small boys and all were leaving shortly on one of the round the world mining trips. A short while before the boat sailed, Mrs. Hoover happened to mention in an off-hand manner to Mrs. Allan that her laundry had not been delivered. She never referred to it again, and Mrs. Allan remained with her until the ship pulled out. The laundry did not arrive, yet Mrs. Hoover went sailing off with a happy smile, waving to all friends on shore. "There was that woman going around the world with two children and not a stitch of clean clothing," asserted Mrs. Allan. "I don't know another person who would not be fussing and making a scene. I'm willing to bet that Mr. Hoover never knew a thing about it and I know right well that she managed to get clean clothes for those children before the day was over. That's how the Hoovers are efficient. They learned how to always manage and with no fuss." When the World War broke out and the need was evident for instant relief, first for stranded tourists, then for the far more needy Belgians, it was as natural for her to take the lead in her own circle as for him in his. Scared Americans were pouring into London, destitute of funds, desperate to get home. The Hoovers were then at the English capital. At a meeting of the Women's Division of the Relief Organization Mrs. Hoover started the collection of money by throwing her own purse into the basket. Then she said, "Let's begin. Let's all go down to the station and meet them." They did as she suggested and thus began the greatest relief campaign the world has ever known. During the course of the war and when President Wilson called Herbert Hoover to take charge of the food supplies, Mrs. Hoover, it will be remembered, contributed to his work the "Cash and Carry" slogan, and she invented the famous Hoover apron. In all the work connected with the war, Mrs. Hoover was active and contributed her energy freely. There was no fuss, just work. She wanted no publicity. It is this kind of a woman who is now First Lady. Knowing the world better, probably, than all others who have served in that capacity, she still retains her friendliness and good nature. She has a friendly smile and a generous desire to serve. She is by nature a student and by training a keen observer. She is tall, graceful, and possesses a magnetic disposition. There is a vibrancy about her, there is a radiance in her candid, dark blue eyes; there is warmth in her handclasp that quickens enthusiasm.

Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Monoaceticacidester of Salicylicacid ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Mrs. Hoover's face is not the proverbial open book. At times it is most inscrutable and not infrequently mischievous. Sometimes it bears an expression that makes one wonder whom the joke is on. But be sure the joke is never one that hurts. Her humor is never satire. If she is amused at a social custom or a misunderstanding resulting in an awkward situation, it is outrightly funny, but is never laughed at as a foible. She has so many enthusiasms that her conversation is never just "social." When intimate woman friends call for a cozy visit at the White House they almost always find her snuggled up in the corner of a sofa. There she is accustomed to squat, with her legs, curled up under her, and knit while talking. The fact that the girl who loved to roam the hills, play baseball, willing to befriend those who were in trouble, has become the First Lady of the Land besides being a scientist, a linguist, an amateur architect, an accomplished sportswoman and an able organizer has not detracted from her sympathetic understanding of those about her. Recently Mrs. Hoover remembered a sick friend by sending as a present an odd tropical fruit called "passion fruit." In the letter accompanying it she was careful to say—at length—just how the core of this fruit should be scooped out and just how it should be mixed with apple or celery for salad. The letter was specific and friendly, which is typical of this First Lady and her interest in the little things, which, in reality make a lady first. The gifted wife of a distinguished husband has a difficult role if she i: to keep her own individuality intact without overshadowing his. This is demanded of Presidents' wives even in this day of equality. They must be in the middle foreground but never in the limelight. They must meekly follow their illustrous consorts and help along in matters of state. They have to know the gravest secrets and not whisper one of them to their dearest friends. They have to be paragons of tact, discretion and unfailing charm. There is no doubt whatever that Mrs. Hoover by reason of temperament and long experience, comes as near this superwomanly ideal as any feminine occupant of the White House ever has.

The social duties of the First Lady are largely determined by precedent and by custom. There are certain functions to be observed, dinners to give and other details that have become a part of the White House atmosphere. There are occasions now and then when the President's wife must exercise her own judgment and use her sense of fairness. In such matters it is safe to say that the First Lady will always be found doing that which is natural to her to do in the light of early training, education, and her own sense of fairplay. Those who know Mrs. Hoover could hardly have expected her to take any other course than that chosen when she invited the wife of Representative DePriest of Illinois to tea. There could be no hesitancy on her part. Her sense of fair-play, her knowledge of what is right and proper, her education that embodies a world of travel and culture, would dictate her doing as she did. Whether Mrs. Hoover consulted custom or precedent cannot be known. It is significant to know that in all the criticism that has followed (Continued on page five) and RE ROAT has hung on for icker way to end starts at once, so doctor can tell When your throat gargle which you tablets in four need not repeat thing to watch the Bayer Cross RIN August 10, 1929 THE CREEPING THING A Story of Gruesome and Haunting Mystery By Cora Jean Moten The Well-Known Serial Writer I looked at him long and searchingly. . .

Al Jarton, at last awed into silence, stood with open mouth gazing blankly from one to the other of us. August 10, 1929 THE A Story THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF GRUESOME MURDERS IN S E L W Y N HOUSE. They have occurred in the octagonal tower room, a mysterious addition to the house. It was built by old Ezra Schwyn years before, on his return from a tragic stay in Haiti where his young bride, Mary, has been lost in the voodoo infested jungles. The tragedy has made him an eccentric recluse. He lives in the house alone save for his two Haitian servants, Diaron and his wife, Meme. Ezra himself is the first one murdered. Each murder is preceded and followed by the sound of some huge reptilian body being dragged over an uneven surface. But there are no entrances to the room large enough to admit such a body and no apparent hiding places. The bodies have disappeared one by one until the last one, the giantess detective, Alene Hardmore, who is killed in an effort to investigate the mystery. Her body is watched by detective Tom Frederick and his friend and co-worker, Alec Jones, until the undertaker, Al Jarton, comes for it. But—the next day that body is stolen from the undertaking establishment, presumably by Garland Selwyn, a nephew of the elder man, whose mother is a Haitian voodoo priestess. The bodies have all been scaled; and, after the mysterious disappearance of old Meme's body, an Indian scalping knife is found with a few strands of long black hair attached to its blood-stained blade. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. INSTALLMENT VIII. IARON paused and looked around again. He dropped his voice even lower. We had to bend forward to catch his next words—"Maybe for the service of the mamaloi, who is the priest-mother of the man who come from—away. They are maybe ZOMBIES." I was puzzled. "And what may zombies, be?" I asked, somewhat impatiently. To have come all this way to run down what I had confidently hoped would be a leading clew only to hear a long rambling tale from an old man, based probably on some impossible superstition, was indeed, aggravating. Besides, the trip and the story had taken much valuable time from a pursuit the success of which might depend on the speed with which it could be prosecuted. Al Jarton snorted—literally.

At least there might be something in a superstition that would explain the actions of those who held it. Garland Selwyn was a Haitian. He had undoubtedly been reared in the Haitian jungles where voodoo was the very life and the people. His mother still lived there. If this wild and cerie superstition was prevalent, no matter how impossible in fact, might it not have motivated in some terrible way, the acts of those imbued with it? Maybe, after all, there might be a clew here. "Tell us more about Zombies, Diaron," I said, and my voice was respectful. "More? What more? Why, if you no believe? It is not nice talk of zombies.

DOESTHIS (Continued from page two) the extending of the White House hospitality to Mrs. DePriest, not once has Mrs. Hoover taken a stand behind the precedents and good judgement of history in the matter. Being the kind of woman that she is, with tact, education, and culture, she does not find it necessary to defend an act that she feels needs no defense. It is true that history will substantiate the claims of those who point out that Mrs. Hoover did nothing revolutionary, unheard of, or unprecedented, when she officially had as one of her guests to tea Mrs. DePriest of Chicago, whose husband is the first Negro Congressman in twenty-eight years, and the first of his race from the North. There are many residents of Washington today who well remember the social amenities enjoyed by the Bruces, Lynches, Raineys, Cheathams and other Negro families prominent in the official life of the Capital.

Both the Senator and Mrs. Revels were educated and refined and those who knew them were unashamed of their friendship with them. The Negro senator from Mississippi, B. K. Bruce, born a slave, who was in the upper house six years, had more social courtesies extended to himself and wife than any race couple ever to appear in official Washington's Who's Who.

Mrs. Bruce, who was comely, of light complexion, tall and stately, not only attended social functions at the White House, but was known to have stood in the receiving line during the administration of President Hayes. Senator Bruce later served two terms as register of the treasury and one as recorder of deeds. Throughout their official life the Bruces were conspicuous at receptions, dances and teas. They were also known for their entertaining, for they believed in returning the compliments.

A search of the room in the Beal House was the first logical step. I heaved a long sigh of relief. Action at last. I wanted to be doing something, and this offered the first step. What the next step would be lay on the knees of the gods and was dependent on what I might or might not turn up in the investigation of that hotel room. "May I use your telephone here, a minute, Diaron?" I queried. "But certainement, monsieur." The old man was profusely courteous in his permission. door that led into the front hall. The small maid answered it. The maid was the reason many of the folk round about spoke of the Beal House as a hotel.

"Hello, Alec," I said, when his well-known hail came from the other end of the wire. "I want you to meet me over at the Beal House in about a half hour. I am out to the old Selwyn place with Al Jarton, and we are on the trail of a few possibilities that may lead somewhere. When you go over to the Beal House inquire around casually about this guy, Garland Selwyn, and see what you can find out. Pretend you came over to see him on some business. If he happens to be there stall around and keep him. If not, see if you can find out anything about his movements last night and this morning and any visitors he may have had."

If I hadn't known how dumb you looked all your life, I'd take you for a zombie. That's what you look like." Al rewarded my grim pleasantry with a wan smile, as he climbed into the car and took the wheel. "Do you think there can be anything in that tale, Tom?" We were about ten minutes away on our town-ward journey, when Al found the words to ask the question that had been roaming around in the far reaches of his mind. "We'll soon know, Al," I answered; and there was a queer feeling of uncertainty in my heart that made my voice as uncertain. No further word was spoken till we drew up before the big, two-storied, colonial house that was sometimes known as the Beal House and sometimes as the big house. It was not exactly a hotel, but for the more discriminating visitors that came to the small town, the widow Beal's home was a hostlery par excellence.
