HOOVER MENTAL POWERS AMAZE CLOSE FRIENDS Foes Admit President Is Hardest Worker Ever in White House. By United Prts WASHINGTON. April 17. Whatever his political foes may think of President Hoover and his policies, they yield him the rank of probably the hardest worker that Washington ever saw In the White House, with powers of concentration and analysis that baffle many. His close friends express amazement at his energy and his mental powers. They tell how he will be dictating when Interrupted by a telephone call. He will stop in the middle of a sentence, talk for several minutes on the telephone and then return to his dictation, taking up the sentence where he left off, without asking the stenographer to repeat. Card Index Mind The President has a card index mind. He closes one drawer and opens up another. He transfers from one complicated subject and turns with equal glow and zeal to the next. It is a peculiar and valuable Intellectual quality shared by but few. Life wtih him In the White House la one of continuous activity. Up around 7, a fast medicine ball game with cabinet friends, breakfast and then to the office at 9, there to stay until lunch, conferring with many people about many problems. They are usually guests at breakfast and lunch, and always dinner guests at night. It’s nearly always late in the afternoon before the President returns to the executive mansion to dress for dinner. Priends tell of finding him perched on a chair, a huge towel over his shoulders, getting a hair cut between late hours at the office and dinner at night. Son Joins Discussions As John, the White House barber of many administrations, performs his task, the President sits discussing the trend of affairs and governmental business, informally, with friends, after the manner of barber shop conversations. The President often calls in his younger son, Allan, when he is about the White House, for discussions of governmental problems. President Hoover has a mass of Information on every conceivable subject. Relaxed, at his ease at the dinner table, munching nuts, he opens up and carries his listener into the intricacies of many subjects. President Shy, Blushes The Hoover mind burns constantly A friend tells of leaving him after a dinner one night at midnight. He and the President had been discussing some problem. The next morning at 7:30, the telephone rang. It happened to be Sunday morning. It was President Hoover. He had gathered some fresh ideas the night before after parting with his friend. The exact and sure executive behind his desk, President Hoover is shy and timid in his human contacts, except- with a very small group. He comes away from his desk to a group of people a man who blushes more easily, than a woman. He hangs his head, mumbles his words, when someone praises him in his presence. But among intimate friends, he has a charming and easy conversational manner. AND, OH, WHAtTFaNN! Bull-Lifter Takes Three SecondHand Umbrellas for Exhibition. By United Press MEMPHIS.

Get Rid of PIMPLES Perhaps you have every reason to be discouraged after trying all sorts of high-priced salves and lotions which failed to bring help to your pimply skin. One thing’s certain—you never used Peterson’s Ointment because Peterson’s is the one sure method that won't fail to eradicate the worst, most obstinate cause of blemished skin. One application—your pimples and blackheads start to go—in a couple of days eruptions have healed, your face is remarkably cleared! Continued use gives you a complexion utterly free from any irritation—delicately smooth—clear. Mary Metinko of Rankin, Pa., writes: "Ever since I can remember I have had pimples on my face but after I got a box of Peterson’s Ointment I found that it works like magic, I recommend it to all my friends." Ofttimes pimples entirely disappear in three days and one 35 cent box will prove it. —All drug stores. —Advertisement.
