MRS. HOOVER KEEPS JOST AS BUSY AS ‘MR.’ Two Secretaries Help Handle Mail; Reads Every Day; Entertain Often. Thf foilow.ng Is the first of three •lories shin* an intimate picture of the next first lariv of the i&nfi. The writer, who ha- Itted in Washington for several rears and has been an observer of official lit*-. was a member of the party of newspaper correspondents which accompanied the Hoovers to California before the e'ection and later to Florida. BY HANNAH HINT STOKES (Written for tbe United I’rtss) MIAMI BEACH. Fla., Feb. 14. Mrs. Herbert Hoover is quite as busy a person as her husband, the President-elect. Aside from her responsibilities as the wife of a public man, she has her own personal interests which are varied. Her mail is voluminous, much of it coming from those who always write to prominent people, but a large portion is personal. Mrs. Hoover has two secretaries, Miss Ruth Fessler and Miss Mildred Hall, one of whom accompanies her on all trips. Being an organizer and a busi-ness-like person, she devotes a portion of each day to disposing of this mail. She could not afford to let it accumulate. She Enjoys Talking Movies Although the Hoovers are accepting very 'ew invitations while in Florida, each day finds them with breakfast, luncheon or dinner guests and sometimes all three. Mrs. Hoover is a charming hostess. Her education, traveling, and life abroad have supplied her with enough topics of conversation to last a life time. She has a versatile mind. One of her newest interests is the taking of moving pictures, inspired bv the gift of a colored motion picture camera from the photographers who accompanied the President-Elect and Mrs. Hoover to South America. Mrs. Hover was observed taking pictures of her husband on his fishing trip into the Florida Keys. Her secretary. Miss Hall, took pictures of the President-Elect and Mrs. Hoover when they reviewed the Girl and Boy Scouts of nearby Florida counties recently. This was done at Mrs. Hoover's request. Reads Every Day Mrs. Hoover is well read and' spends part of each day reading. There scarcely is anew book, whether fiction. biography or general literature, which she has not read and cannot discuss interestingly. Mrs. Hover wears tailored clothes and sensible shoes and walks as if she, liked it. When not reading or walking or writing letters Mrs. Hoover may be found with some knitting. Many of the pictures which came off the U. S. S. Maryland and the U. S. Utah used on the South American trip, showed her with needles and yarn, and visitors to the private car on the trip to California in November found her knitting a small sweater, probably for one of her grandchildren, whom she adores.

CATHOLICS HOLD LENT SERVICES Special Features to Mark Worship Tomorrow. Lenten Passion of Christ services will be held for the first time by Catholic churches of the city Friday night. The devotion of the Way of the Cross with a parade to each of the fourteen stations in the churches will be held in conjunction with Friday night’s sendees. A benediction service wdll end the worship. “The great experiment of faith leads to an experience of God,” asserted Bishop Joseph M. Francis in his second Lenten talk at Christ church this noon. ‘ In all ages and among all peoples there lias been some kind of a belief in some kind of a God. Important, therefore, to ask ourselves what kind of a God it is in whom we believe. “At the best our conceptions are hazy. It is only when we shall see face to face that our conceptions will be complete and we shall know even as also we are known. The God in whom I believe is not dwelling far away above the heavens, looking down on man. He is high above me but present wdth me. ready to help in every time of need. The God in w r hom I believe is a God who loves me and whom I may love, a God whom I admire. Whatever is beautiful and true and noble; whatever is pure and fine and high, exists in God. My belief in God is a challenge to try to become like Him.” An organ recital by Cheston L. Heath preceded the service. Plans are being made by members of the Good Friday committee of the Church Federation of Indianapolis to have city business firms close on Good Friday from 12 to 3 p. m. Dr. Ernest N. Evans, executive secretary of the federation, left Wednesday to conduct Lenten services in York. Pa. JAILED FOR THREAT Truck Driver Gets 15 Days for Drawing Gun.

Bradley, sugar broker, 620 South Capitol avenue, and with profanity accused Williams of telling J. A. Hoood. manager that he, Dugan, had been stealing sugar. Then Dugan marched Williams into Hood’s office and demanded if Williams was the man who had been telling lies about him. Williams was not the man. Hood said.

Many Here Who Try Pleasant Hospital Method At Home Get Instant Relief Doctors realizing the need to “play safe in dealing with a cold during. changeable weather” are now advising home use of a pleasant hospital method that has given surprisingly quick results to vast numbers of Indianapolis people. C. H. Wilkins, for example, had neglected his cold for a day or so after he had begun to sneeze and cough. Examination showed that one of his nasal tubes was badly congested, his throat was inflamed and the cold was spreading rapidly, causing fear of pneumonia. Doctors then gave him double strength doses of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, terpin hydrate and other ingredients w’hich have relieved even the most extreme hospital cases. With the very first pleasant swallow he felt its comforting. healing warmth —from his nose passages deep down into his chest. Almost immediately his head and chest began to clear up

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MERIDIAN BUS LINES RULING IS DELAYED WEEK Park Commissions to Make Decision Next Thursday; Hold Hearing. Park commissioners will rule next Thursday afternoon whether the Peoples Motor Coach Company petition to run busses on Meridian street will be granted. John E. Milnor. president; Mrs. Mary Hoss and Adolph G. Emhardt conducted a hearing Wednesday afternoon. The fourth board member, Michael E. Foley, attorney for the street railway company, withdrew. George Healey, coach company public relations director, and O. W. Cox, attorney, represented the Motor Coach Company. Stephen Clinehens, attorney for the ButlerFairview Civic League, and about 200 persons favoring the petition appeared. Urge Service Soon About twenty residents of Meridian and the Butler-Fairview vicinity urged immediate establishment of service. President Robert J. Aley of Butler University pointed out that the proposed line is needed badly to serve the university and that a Fortysixth street cross-town line should be started so that students would not need to go downtown to get to their homes in northeast Indianapolis. Mrs. George Underwood, president of Shortridge Parent-Teachers Association; Gerald Greenlea, state department of American Legion, and Mrs. Christena Carter. Legion auxiliary representative, urged the board to lift the Meridian bus ban. James Drummond, 400 W. Fortysixth street, asked that busses be run to the canal. It is proposed to run the line to Thirty-sixth street west to Sunset avenue and north to the campus. Riverside busses also would use Meridian to Thirtieth street. Tells of Congestion Eugene Sheehan, contractor, told of congestion in the 2900 block on Delaware and asked that the Riverside line use Meridian. Mrs. Robert Bryson, 2431 North Meridian street, ivas the only one who opposed the bus line. She said Meridian already is congested making it “worth your life to cross now.” About eight new busses would be started on the Butler branch if the park board permits use of Meridian street. The public service commission has approved the petition, contingent on the city lifting of the Meridian bus ban. PLANE HUNTED BY LINDY SAFE Message From Fliers Halts Third Search.

Lindbergh, and six fellow airmen poised here to search for a missing airplane, a radio from the Bahamas brought word that the crew and craft were safe. The message from Nassau to PanAmerican Airways reached here a few minutes before Lindbergh was to leave with a fleet of amphibians in a third flight since noon Wednesday for the missing planes. The message, signed by Floyd Walton, one of the four men on board the missing plane, read “N. C. 8020 at Pine Key rest day, north end of Andos Island out of gas.” Navy and coast guard boats had searched the waters of the Florida keys during the night for the missing plane without success. Lindbergh himself had flown for three hours after nightfall in search for it, only to return unsuccessful. On board the craft were Harry Rogers, Pan-American flier, Walton Ralph Dalhseron and John Angus. The plane was the first to leave here Wednesday in a search for a private seaplane, that later turned up in tow of a ferryboat—both men on board safe.

HIGHEST U. S. TARIFF LOOMS UNDER HOOVER G. 0. P. Leaders Admit New Rates Will Exceed Any in Nation’s History. SENATE Expects to vote on Caraway *rain futures bill. Public lands committee meets on routine business. Axriculaure cpmmittee considers blender bills. Interstate commerce committee orntinues executive session on Ness railroad consolidation bill. Commerce committee meets on ship bids. HOUSE Continue debate on legislative appropriation bill. Foreign affairs committee hearing on proposed arms and ammunition embargo against any warring nation. Library committee hearing on erection of monument to Oscar Strauss. Ways and means committee hearing on tariff revision. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Under President-Elect Hoover's warning Republican* leaders in congress hope to moderate the proposed tariff raise, but they agree frankly that prospects are the new r law will authorize the highest protective tariff this country ever has had. Hearings in the house ways and means committee revealed nearly every industry wants more tariff protection. No one appeared in favor of a low tariff or to caution against large increases, except the New York importers, who naturally have opposed all big tariff rates. More than 720 witnesses have stood before the committee, speaking about low wages in Germany and other countries and the consequent necessity for adequate protection to American workingmen. This tariff bill's rate will be held down to a reasonable minimum in the house under stringent rules which may even prevent the offering of amendments from the floor. But it wall be wide open in the senate for what politicians call “picking the plums.” Chairman Smoot of the finance committee, who recently received cautions from Hoover at Miami, is fearful the senate will boost the bill far beyond what even he, a high protectionist, believes is wise. Republican members of the house ways and means committee will meet in executive session March 2 to start drafting the bill. They have promised to have it ready for a report to the house April 20. The special session is expected to be called for around that date. POLITICS TO BE TALKED The class on “The Practice of Politics,” sponsored by the public library, will meet at the Woman's Department Club at 10:30 a. m. Feb. 19.

DEBT EXPERTS HEAR GERMANS' POVERTY PLEA Forced to Lower Living Standard Than Ex-Foes, Is Charge. BY WEBB MILLER United Pres, Staff Correspondent PARIS. Feb. 14.—Germany’s first specific claim to a reduction in the reparations demands of the allies began to emerge today. Presentation of her case continued before the international commission of reparations experts. Charges were made that the treaty of Versailles is being violated by forcing Germany to accept a living standard lower than that of her former enemies, observers said. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht is in his 1 third day of a general discussion ol reparations in the light of Germany’s credit and internal condi- 1 tions. The Germans will continue to j hold the stage until their presenta- j tion is completed, after which the' presentation of the allied viewpoint led by France, will be made. Indications are that Germany is building her case on the theme of borrowed money and the consequent heavy tax burden on her citizens. Schacht’s plea amounts to that of poverty and his presentation so far has been calculated to cause an excellent political reaction in Germany.

ADAM TEMPTED BY BOOTLEGGER. STATES PASTOR God Created Prohibition in Eden and Snake Caused Violation. The first bootlegger operated in the Garden of Eden and violated the first prohibition law which God enacted for the human race. This is the assertion of the Rev. R. S. Parr, pastor of the First United Brethren church, who spoke at the Bible Investigation Club Wednesday night at the Y. M. C. A. building. "The prohibition law idea is not a twentieth century thought of man. but it dates back to the Garden of Eden when God set up a law prohibiting Adam and Eve from eating of the tree of life. God simply set up a law which sought to curb the appetites of Adam and Eve, but the first bootlegger, who was a snake, induced Adam and Eve to disregard God's divine statute and eat of that tree. Our ancestors of the Book of Genesis were the first violators of a prohibition law. "No one will respect the laws of the land who is not taught to respect the laws of God. The crime wave can be traced to a lack of knowledge oi God's laws Children must be taught to respect divine laws before we can expect them to respect man's laws.” Dr. Frank Lee Roberts, pastor of Central Avenue M. E. church, spoke on “The American Home of Tomorrow." "Too many persons are trying to carry out ‘installment-wife plans’ and they will not work, for such ideals as trial marriages are contributing to the breakdown of the American home." he said. "If America remains a great nation, our disregard for God's law and the ideals of Christanity must cease. We must get anew basic ideal of marriage and the sanctity of the home. The real test of American home life conies after you have celebrated your fiftieth wedding anniversary." ROBBED AFTER FIGHT Struggles With Bandit; Loses 54.50 at Point of Gun. After a hand-to-hand struggle of several minutes with a bandit at Spruce street and Fletcher avenue Wednesday night. William Claffey, 1449 Fletcher avenue, was overpowered, and at the point of a revolver robbed of $4.50. The struggle started when the bandit approached Claffey from behind and thrust a revolver in his back. Claffey grasped his assailant's wrists, and the pair tussled until the bandit maneuvered the gun so that it pointed at Claffey and threatened to shoot.
