HOOVER TO VISIT MEXICO ON SOUTH AMERICAN TOUR

NICARAGUA ALSO MAY BE PUT QN TRIP ITINERARY President-Elect Hopes to Promote Good Will in Hostile Centers. PARTY TO BE SMALL 40 Persons Only Will Be Included in Entourage for Cruise. BY THOMAS L. STOKES, United Press Staff Correspondent PALO ALTO, Cal., Nov. 13.—Presi-dent-elect Herbert Hoover’s LatinAmerican good-will tour, upon which he embarks next Monday,, will Include calls in Mexico and perhaps Nicaragua, center of most outspoken ill-feeling against the United States of all the countries below the Rio Grande. Plans are being made for a stop at Vera Cruz and a railroad journey to Mexico City on the northward journey back to the United States. There in Mexico’s capital city, the President-elect will be the guest of Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow, whose success in restoring good relations between the two countries has won high praise. Morrow has been mentioned as likely to be named secretary of state by Hoover. There, as in Nicaragua, Hoover’s aim would be to further efforts recently made to settle differences between the United States and t|iose countries. Whether the Presidentelect will visit Nicaragua has not been decided finally. He also has received invitations from other Central American republics. Confers With Advisers A visit to Nicaragua would be unusual but a bold stroke in keeping with Hoover’s Latin-American venture, which was unexpected and which has elicited most favorable comment from high officials in Central and South America. Hoover planned to interrupt his close attention to details of his South American trip today for a conference with William J. Donovan, assistant attorney general. Donovan, one of Hoover’s chief lieutenants in the pre-convention battle for the nomination and later in the presidential campaign, has been mentioned for the attorney general’s post. Hoover will discuss with him matters likely to arise during his absence and is expected to designate Donovan to handle certain phases of his plans. The President-elect took time off Monday for a personal visit to the large room in the basement of his home where stenographers are busy typing answers to some of the thousands of congratulatory telegrams he received. Entourage to Be Small After several inquiries about the system established there, he seemed to be satisfied it was running with "Hoover efficiency.” The President-elect, busy as he is with plans for his administration and for his South American trip, devotes some time to reading personal letters received here, many Os which a/e from children. These often enclose photographs. Significant as is the South Ameri-, cjm trip, tlie Hoover entourage will be comparatively small. About forty persons will be in the party, including the President-elect. Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador to Italy, who has been delegated to represent President Coolidge, will have with him a handful of state department attaches with whom Hoover will advise. At the President-elect’s beck and call will be several assistants, headed by George Akerson. The news-

CURIOSITY THE GREAT TEACHER CURIOSITY is-the beginning of all knowledge. Do you know any subject about which your child has not asked you a dozen questions? Let him ' ask as many as he likes, and be sure to answer them correctly. That is the parent’s most important and most easily neglected duty. If you discourage your child’s curiosity you will injure his mind and a bright boy or girl becomes stupid or indifferent.

paper and photographer contingent will include about fifteen. Fletcher is an expert on LatinAmerican affairs from Ms experience as ambassador to Mexico and minister to Chile and as director of the Pan-American conference in Hanava early this year. Mrs. Hoover will not accompany the President-elect. His son, Allan, however, will make the trip. The South American sea voyage will be about twenty-six days, twelve on the southward trip and about fourteen on the northward return. The first stop will be at Balboa, where Hoover will inspect the Panama Canal. The complete itinerary, which includes stops at Valparaiso and Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Montevideo, Uruguay; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Mexico City, and Havana, Cuba, will be announced later, probably by the state department at Washington. Hoover is considering landing in Florida, either bt Key West or Miami, and proceeeding through the south on his return to Washington, instead of returning by way of Hampton Roads or New York. BEAUTYJiW SOUGHT State Society Advocates Licenses for Workers. Resolutions were to be adopted today by the State Society of Cosmetologists and Hairdressers advocating enactment of an examining and licensing law. The society, numbering approximately 700 beauty parlor owners and operators of the state, favors a law authorizing the Governor to appoint members of a commission for examination and licensing of members of the profession, it was announced. The bill would require a health certificate and 800 hours of training in an accredited school before a license would be granted. More than 400 persons attended lecture sessions today, when Elizabeth McGrath, head of the American School of Ethical Beauty Culture, Chicago, and Madam Condos, proprietor c: the Condos shop, Chicago, discussed advanced methods of beauty culture and beauty parlor management. Officers were to be elected this afternoon and the convention will dose with a banquet and dance tonight. INSTALiTTrAFFIC LIGHT Gamewell Superintendent William B. Griffis today installed anew electric traffic signal at Hazel and Massachusetts avenues. The new signal is designed along the lines recommended by the national traffic safety conference with the amber light before the "go” eliminated. Another signal will be placed at Rural and Massachusetts soon.

SIFT POSSIBLE CANDIDATES FOR HOUSESPEAKER Marion Representatives’ Committee to Confer With Prospects. Marion county’s newly elected state representatives today began casting a speculative eye over the candidates for speaker of the house. Meeting Monday night, the county’s one doen lower house legislators appointed three of their number to confer with speakership candidates and decided to make no alignment for the time being. William Bosson, Jr., was chosen chairman of the delegation, Frank J. Noll, Jr., vice-chairman, and Thomas F. Batchelor, secretary. The early crop of speakership candidates to receive their consideration includes:

Frank Wright Possibility Frank E. Wright, one of their own number, author of the Wright bonedry bill, whose candidacy has the backing of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League. Wright has served six sessions as a member of the house and one session as chief clerk. Many house members doubt the political advisability of elevating him to the speakership, because it would be interpreted as a flattering recognition of the Anti-Saloon League cohorts. The traditional antipathy of house members to Marion county’s delegation also would work to Wright’s disadvantage. Herbert H. Evans, Newcastle attorney, who made formal announcement of his candidacy Monday. Although Evans is well known throughout the state for his work in conservation and in sportsmen’s organizations, he will be coming to the legislature for the first time and so is regarded as a strong speakership contender. Gary Man Aspirant J. Glenn 'Harris, of Gary, whose biennal announcements for the speakership contest have come to be regarded as maneuvers to give him the chairmanship of the important judiciary A. committee. Harris was a dominating figure in the 1927 session, but his candidacy is handicapped by the fact that the Tenth district, where he hails from, has the three major offices on the victorious Republican ticket, Governorelect Harry G. Leslie, Lafayette; Otto G. Fifield, Crown Point, secretary of state-elect, and Mrs. Grace B. Urbahns, Valparaiso, treasurerelect. George W. Freeman, Kokomo, an avowed candidate for the speakership, who was a contender for the honor in 1925, losing to Leslie bytwo votes in a party caucus. Freeman has been a legislator for six years. His handicap probably will be the accusation by Leslie’s friends, that he, Freeman, and net Leslie, was the Klan candidate for speaker in 1925. John W. Chamberlain Terre Haute, who is not new to the ranks of speakership candidates. James M. Knapp, Richmond, who is understood to be sharing with Samuel J. Farrell, Hartford City, the favor of the Republican organization. Farrell, it is understood, would prefer appointment as majority member on the house committee on the budget to the speakership which usually carries with it chairmanship of the ways and means committee.

cross-blended in a way entirely different from other cigarettes and with entirely different results. For, mild as Chesterfields certainly are, they do what you’ve always wanted a cigarette to do—they satisfy.

WOMAN IS VICTOR IN VOTING GUESSES

Amanda Jane Snodgrass Is Exact in Her Pick; 5,000 Answers. Nearly 5,000 guesses as to the presidential election result by states were received by The Times on the blanks printed before the election. To Amanda Jane Snodgrass, who failed to give her address, goes first honors in the guessing match. She correctly guessed the electoral vote total each candidate received— Smith, 87; Hoover, 444. Her predictions, however, were not entirely correct as to how each state would go over. She listed the twenty electoral votes of Texas and the three of Delaware for Smith instead of for Hoover. This was offset by Rhode Island’s five and Massachusetts eighteen, which she gave to Hoover instead of to Smith. The prediction of Earl Burns, 1908 Southeastern avenue, which gave 88 electoral votes to Smith, was next closest. C. L. Roose, 3104 Bellefontaine street, and Harry I. Long, 1306 Fletcher avenue, were other close guessers. Each gave Smith eightyfive electoral votes. Long added the prediction that Harry G. Leslie would, carry the state by 35,000, but was way off when he predicted Ralph E. Updike would be re-elect-ed to congress by the same majority. W. A. Powell, 203 North Gray street, also was close with a ninetyvote prediction for Smith, as was Ulysses Jordan of the Fishback company, w'ith the same figure. K. E. Asperger, 711 West Thirty-first street, gave Smith ninety-four. Daniel B. Luten, 1056 Consolidated building, gave Smith seventy-six; A. B. Valentine, 636 North Jefferson avenue, gave him seventy-five. The majority of the predictions gave Smith many more electoral votes than he actually will receive. One of the most optimistic Smith supporters gave the New York Governor 440 of the 531 electoral votes. The most optimistic Hoover supporter was Charles Bertelsman, 1127 Windsor street, who gave Hoover 528, and listed the remaining 3 as doubtful. HOLD VICTORY BALL Last ‘Good-by’ Said to Armistice Day. The annual Indiana reserve officers association convention ended in a blaze of color Monday night with a victory ball at the Indiana ballroom. More than 1,000 couples attended and roared a last "good-by” to the Armistice day celebration at 1 a. m. this morning. The ball closed one of the most successful conventions in the association’s history. Capt. F. E. Lindley of Marion, winner of the 1928 membership trophy, was elected president at the annual election in the Claypool. Lie*it. Franklin I. Snider Os Washington was named senior vicepresident, and Lieut. Ray D. Woods of Indianapolis was re-elected sec-retary-treasurer for the third consecutive time. The association’s membersihp recently reached 750, a gain of 100 members since the last convention. The 1929 meeting will be in Indianapolis.

STORM ROCKS MAURETANIA; 20 ARE HURT Battles Heaviest Seas in Memory of Crew; Ship Hit by Tidal Wave. By United Press PLYMOUTH, Nov. 13.—The crack Cunard liner Mauretania arrived today, battered by a terriffic storm at sea and with twenty passengers and members of her crew slightly injured. The Mauretania reported she was struck by a tidal wave on Saturday afternoon. The water reached almost as high as her funnels. Those who were injured received bruises and minor hurts when they were knocked about by the staggering of the ship under the terriffic impact. Older members of the Mauretania’s crew described the weather as the worst in forty-seven years’ experience. Gales prevailed for two days and Saturday’s storm was accompanied by waves that almost towered over the ship. One officer told the press that the water came aboard the topmost deck of the Mauretania, which was encrusted with sea salt. The Mauretania, speediest greyhound of the Atlantic, made the trip in five days and forty-six minutes, despite the storm. The Mauretania left New York Wednesday. Several prominent persons were included in the passenger list, including W. A. Harriman and Alfred A. Knopf, the publisher.
