HOOVER BEING
MENTIONED FOR
PRESIDENCY
Herbert Hoover Is being “looked
over” to see if he is of presidential
size. He is being claimed by the
Democrats, but it is apparent that he
belongs to that party about as much
as Pershing belongs to the Republican
party. ‘Nobody knows the political in
clinations of either, but the tendency
is to tag them as noted.
Hoover and Pershing are far and
away the two great successes of the
war, regardless of what Senator Reed
and his supporters think about the
one, and Representative Gallivan and
his kind of the other. If Pershing is
a military success, Hoover is an even
greater executive success. He has
managerial ability of a wonderful sort,
and it was put to a thorough test dur
ing the war. Unlike Pershing, he
worked under nobody, but made his
own plans, and personally saw to their
being carried out.
His success has been acclaimed not
only in America, but throughout Eu
rope. Even Germany, knowing how
well he looked after the famishing
people of Belgium, was anxious to
have him take charge of her food prob
lem. There can be no question about
his possessing the kind of intellect
and business ability which the coun
try will need in the White House for
a number of years to come. *
Succeeds at Difficult Task.
No one could have had a mor<
thankless, more difficult, but yet mor*
important task than the onp he was
given by the President. Frankly h*
expected that he would fail to com*
up to the popular expectations, but h<
made up his mind that the work had tc
be done, and that he would if neces
sary, become a martyr in doing it
Probably nobody was more surprise*
than he at the degree of success whicl
was attained. He knew all the tim*
that his plans were workable, bui
there was always the danger that, ii
the disorganization of war, the detail!
would fail into the hands of incompe
tents. He had to deal with such hell
afThe could get, and was seldom In po
sition to select the best.
There has been much glib talk
about this or that thing having won
the war. Few, however, have said
that what Hoover did had any im
portant bearing in that direction.
Nevertheless, when the food supplies
sent from America to Europe in 1917
and 1918 ire considered, and when
people thlikk of the conditions which
would have prevailed there had they
failed, it is difficult to overestimate
the importance of the Hoover per
formance. All that is apart from his
success in checking the pyramiding of
prices at home.
Shows Great Ability.
When he was put at the head of the
Food Administration, Hoover had been
living outside the United States for
twenty years. He was born in Iowa
in 1874, and after graduating from the
Leland Stanford Engineering School
in 1895, spent two years in geological
surveys and mining in the Southwest
states, and then went to Australia as
chief of the mining staff of the large
interests. In 1899 he was chief engi
neer of the Chinese Imperial Bureau
of Mines, and the next year took part
in the defense of Tientsin during the
Boxer uprising.
He remained in China' until 1902,
when he went to London as partner in
a large mining corporation, which was
his work when the war began. He
acted first as chairman of the Ameri
can Relief Commission in 1914-15, as
chairman of the commission for Bel
gian relief in 1915, as food administra
tor in 1917, and is now the head of the
movement to feed the starving mil
lions of Europe. In addition to these
activities, he had found time for au
thorship, and has written numerous
technical articles an dbooks.
None of the President's war ap
pointees encountered at home a fiercer
storm of criticism and abuse. He
weathered it by sheer ability. The
faultfinders are silent in the fact of
workl-wide praise which has been so
lavishly given him.
So much for the latest man to be
mentioned in connection with Ameri
: ca’s coming presidential free-for-all.

WOMEN ARE DEFORMED
BY MODERN FASHIONS
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Dresses which many
women now are wearing are causing
them to become "knock-kneed, knock
armed and sway-backed,” recently de
clared Mrs. J. Milton Mensendlck In
an address before the Twentieth Cen
tury Club.
Dr. William A. Stecher, director of
physical education in the Philadelphia
public schools, agrees with Mrs. Men
sendick that dresses which make
women answer to that description are
in style but he asserts that there is
no danger that they will become per
manently disabled by their efforts to
conform to the new fashions.
There is nothing the matter with
woman's frame of body, but there is
with her frame of mind, he said. In
other words, she is not knock-kneed,
etc., because she can’t help it but
rather because she wants to be in
fashion.
“Dr. Celia Mosher of Leland Stan
ford University says all of a woman’s
muscles can be developed to be as
strong as those of a man,” adds Dr.
Stetcher. “Women are men’s muscu
lar inferiors ten to thirty-three per
cent, statistics say. This is due to no
innate disability, but to woman’s dress
and to traditional ideas regarding
modest, feminine exercise.
“On the other hand, men are wo
men’s inferior when it comes to feel
ing the cold. Everybody knows how
l(Ag a woman can remain in bathing,
and how scant her clothing may be in
winter, and yet she does not die of
exposure.”
