AKERSON'S JOB HARD TO FILL, HOOVER FINOS Asks His Public Relations Man to Delay Taking Over Movies Post, By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. B—President Hoover la encountering considerable difficulty finding anew key man for hia official White House family. The resignation of George Akerson as his secretary and liaison officers with congress and the press has left the President such a problem that he may be forced to reorganize his system of secretarial contacts rather than select a single man to fill Akerson’s place. Because of this, it was learned today, Mr. Hoover has asked Akerson to remain after Jan. 15, the date originally fixed by the secretary for his retirement. Public Relations Key Akerson who has accepted a lucrative position with Paramount-Pub-lix Corporation, is understood to have consented in order to permit the President to work out the situation. He rrtay stay until March 4, but at least will remain until Feb. 15. The secretarial post is perhaps the most Important in the White House inner circle. It has been the point around which Mr. Hoover built practically all his public relations. At first, he desired to replace Akerson with someone from the corps of Washington correspondents. Numerous candidates were put forward, but it is understood the President has not been able to obtain any of the men desired. Now he has turned his eye to other fields, but here, too, he is having trouble getting the kind of a man he wants for the government salary of SIO,OOO a year. Trouble Finding Men Among those considered for the post were Dr. Julius Klein, an old friend and head of the foreign service bureau in the commerce department; Representative Franklin Fort (R v, N. J.), who was defeated in the senatorial primaries last year, and Ashmun Brown, Washington correspondent of the Providence, R. I. Journal and Bulletin. None of them now is regarded as a likely appointee. Asa last resort, Mr. Hoover may be compelled to reorganize his secretarial system so as to divide the work between Walter Newton, his political secretary, and Lawrence Richey, his confidential secretary.

Indiana Girl’s Lucky Day

PIREE candles! And each one represents a year of joyous living. Little Vera Lee Linaer, of 544 No. Belmont Ave., Indianapolis, is a typical Fig Syrup baby. Here is what her mother says: “A friend praised California Fig Syrup so highly that I gave it to Vera when she showed by bad breath, fretfulness, and restlessness that she was constipated. It relieved her constipation immediately, sweetened her breath, made her bright and happy again. * have also used Fig Syrup for all her colds and upsets. It has kept her strong and vigorous.” For fifty years, wise mothers have been secure in the knowledge that a child’s headachy, bilious, feverish or fretful spells can be quickly and safely overcome by California Fig Syrup. Physicians recommend its soothing aid to keep the bowels clear in colds, or children’s ailments; or whenever bad breath, coated tongue, or listlessness warn of constipation. California Fig Syrup helps tone and strengthen weak bowels—assists in building-up and energizing weak children. The genuine always bears the name California. All drugstores.
