PEGGY ANN. 6. HAS ‘CRUSH’ ON BOYJERO, 13 But Herbert Hoover 111, 4, Is 'in the Way’ at White House. By United Press WASHINGTON. May I.—President Hoover has definite ideas about what a 13-year-old lad should see They include the Washington monument, the home of George Washington, how they make money In the bureau of engraving, the Roosevelt collection of animals in the national museum, the Lindbergh plane, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the zoo. That, at least, is the sightseeing tour he worked out with his young guest, Bryan Untiedt, the quiet but confident young man brought from Colorado because of his heroism in a school bus tragedy. The call for breakfast today found young Untiedt with all of Mr. Hoovers* ideas fulfilled, except the trip to the zoo. He promised to take that the first thing, if his 6-year-old admirer, Peggy Ann Hoover, will let him out of her sight that long. Follow Childhood Romance White House attaches have been closely following a childhood romance which appears to have developed between the boy hero bordering on young manhood and the White House grandchild with long brown curls. Little Miss Hoover has been acting as hostess to the Colorado boy, drinking in tales of the cowboys on the plains, listening to the doleful music of the harmonica as played by Bryan, and tagging along behind him everywhere he goes. Their romance is somewhat hindered by the fact that her 4-year-old brother goes tagging along also. And the annoying Herbert 111, always is saying: “Tell me some stories about bears.” He has been bear conscious since White House attaches told him there were grizzlies in rooms they did not want him to enter, and from morn till night he is constantly in search of new bear stories. Peggy Likes Boy Heroes Peggy Ann does not care for bears particularly. She likes harmonica music and boy heroes from Colorado. Their association soon may be cut short to permit Bryan to return home. Some suggestion has been made that he may go from here to New York to look at the big city. That will be up to the President, who is paying the expenses. While the White House is cautious about divulging the time of his departure, indications are he may leave the executive mansion today. HUMP MOVES—3O DAYS Chicago Man’s Infirmity Turns Out to Bea Fancy Pigeon. By United Press CHICAGO, May I.—Arrested on suspicion as he stood watching George Miles’ fancy pigeons, Walter Lang, 27, pleaded that he was “just a hunchback” and not doing anything wrong. He turned to display his hump, but it moved and turned out to be one of Miles’ pigeons. Lang was sent to jail for thirty days.

HE HAS A TALL JOB

Monument Guard Versatile Fellow

BETWEEN watching for vandals, shoemaking, giving first aid to those who faint, and operating an elevator that invariably receives the suspicious query “Has this ever fallen?” the life of a guard at the Soldiers and Sailors’ monument is a busy one. In fact. Arthur M. King, 2546 Broadway, guard at the monument, could not be surprised by any role the public might thrust upon him as it climbs the city’s highest structure. And other attaches at the monument are not far behind him in the odd jobs that fall their lot of conducting visitors to the top of the 284-foot memorial. A tack-hammer is kept handy at all times for replacing high heels of feminine visitors who walk to the top instead of riding the elevator and click off the heels on the steel steps. m a “T OVERS are a bother, too,” I~J King says. “They take so long to walk to the top. They rarely ride the elevator. The girl always says ‘Let’s walk,’ and away they go.” He faced one problem last week that might have necessitated aid from the fire department. A fat woman, weighing in the neighborhood of 300 pounds, got stuck in the steps leading from the elevator’s top landing to the balcony for those who wish ' - view the city. “She finally twisted through,” King said. “And you can answer the common question of those who go up, ‘Has this elevator ever fallen?’ with Tt has not.’ The elevator is inspected weekly,” King said. Dedicated in 1902, the monument’s record never has been marred by a suicidal attempt from its sky balcony. “We have some visitors who will look at the gallery of war pictures, but will refuse to go to the top on the excuse, ‘l’ve got a tendency to want to jump when I get up high,” King explained. The monument’s popularity is a long-distance affair for the “hometowners.” tt tt tt “1%/TOST of those who go up are Ivl from out of town. Yet we did have one man who’d send his

wife to a movie and while she was seeing screen sights he’d take a spy glass and go to the top of the monument and see the town. He'd do that sometimes twice a week,” King related. Operating 361 days. of the year, the monument’s elevator has not missed a day making at least one trip to the top. “Zero weather and you’ll always find someone wanting to go up and see what it’s like on the balcony,” King and other attaches say. Persons who steal name-plates from war pictures for souvenirs and those who deface the walls and top balcony coping form the chief nuisance of monument employes.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BRIBE CHARGES AT PENDLETON SIDETRACKED Reformatory Board Talks Over Accusations, Does Nothing. By Times Special PENDLETON, Ind., May 1.—lndiana state reformatory trustees, meeting here “informally'’ Thursday afternoon, discussed charges of bribery made by a former prisoner against long-time officers of the institution, but did nothing about them. No notice of the meeting was announced from the office of Governor Harry G. Leslie, as had been agreed upon at the last session of trustees. No plans were made to have Walter Arnold, former Ft. Wayne policeman, who made the charges against H. A. Allen and Fred Phelps, appear and defend them. Allen, who now lives in Chicago, had volunteered to attend any in-

quisition into the matter the trustees chose to make. A charities board investigation came to nothing, as only the reformatory side in the matter was heard by the committee. Superintendent A. F. Miles of the reformatory declared his men “not guilty.” Although the trustees meeting was “informal,” the board was reorganized and D. D. Dean, Rensselaer, new member, “initiated.” Homer York, Marion, was elected president, being the oldest member in point of service on the board. Dean was made vice-president; Paul Honan, Lebanon, treasurer, and Dr. H. C. Bruggeman, Ft. Wayne, secretary. All officers are filled on a seniority basis.

ONCE RICH: NOW WASHER WOMAN Mexican Entertainer Gave Wealth to 'a Man.’ By United ess JUAREZ, Mex., May 1.—Teresa Madrid, 57, who earned lots of money and captivated audiences in her thirty-eight years of entertaining in South America and Mexico, has lost everything and is now a washer woman earning $10 a week. “Now—it’s this,” she pointed to a basket of wash. “As long as my

back holds out I can live, I guess." At one time she owned two places of entertainment in Buenos Aires. “Now I don’t even own the house I live in,” Teresa said with a shrug of her shoulders. Six years ago Teresa said she had more than $40,000 saved, and she planned to quit. “In Vera Cruz I met a man. Oh, he was a little different from the rest. His tongue was silvery and he promised much. I loved him. I let him have $30,000 to open a gambling halL “The place didn’t prosper. That’s
