Mrs. Herbert Hoover

(By Charles B. Driscoll, in his syndicated column, "New York Day by Day.")

Almost every American, I think, sympathized in a special way with Herbert lfoover in the loss of his wife, who typified for many of us, the American Lady. With Mrs. Calvin Coolidge she represents, in the minds of millions of Americans and others, the kind of lady who with honor and dignity, accompanies a distinguished man to and through a period of public service.

Mrs. Hoover never attempted in any way to make personal capital out of her husband's position. For many years before he entered politics Mr. Hoover had been a famous and well-to-do man. His wife had been reared'in the genteel American tradition. She had all the ability for modest public service that such a tradition calls for, and she served faithfully, but always inconspicuously. She realized, as did Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, that there is no constitutional positiorr in this country as Lady President or Mrs. President. She was Mrs. Hoover, and may God give her rest.

"Non Metcrllic lron" Approved

A highly responsible lumller clealer sends this one, He says not to mention his name as the authorities who made the bust might not like to be publicized, but vouches for the following incident in his business :

One of l.ris customers applied to WPB for permission to buy some steel roofing sheets, and hi.; request lvas approved provided the sheets are of "non-metallic iron." "I have the approved order before me," r-ritcs the lumber dealer.

He adds that he had heard of the OPA refusing the farmer a permit to kill some steers becanse thcy thought he should keep them for l>reedins prtrposes, but that "non-metallic iron" is too much for him.
