him. Hoover was at that time work
ing for the Oregon Land company,
while his friends, “Butch,” “Char
lie,” and “Buck” were in school.
Tlie four boys went to parties
: together, played checkers and chess
when “Bert” would give them odds,
and they had the usual boyhood
adventures in and around the then
^ little city of Salem. Mr. Barker
recalls that it was at parties about

tlirs time that he ami Hr. Hoover
first saw and ate powdered sugar
anil tasted their first iee cream.
These commonplace foods were rare
and delectable viands for the boys
in those days.
It was at a party during this
time that “Bert” Hoover also show
ed signs of the splendid chivalry
that has dominated his life, Hr.
Barker relates. A young man pres
ent who was called upon for a story
told the old myth in which a young
woman asked to the gods' that she
be given eternal life, but forgot to
ask for eternal youth. She grew
older and older and more feeble,
the myth says, until finally there
was nothing left but her voice.
When the party was over “Bert”
usually shy and different and sel
dom given to quarreling, savagely
attacked the story teller and severe
ly chastised him for what he deem
ed a reflection against womanhood.
It was useless for the boys to try
to explain to him that the story
was but a myth, for lie was firm
in his contention that it was one
that should not be told in “mixed
company.”
Hoover Favcs Kaiser
Then Mr. Barker tells how years
later, during the world war, just
before America’s entry, this same
man, driven by his sense of outraged
chivalry, steeled himself to approach
the Kaiser of Kermany. Hoover was
at that time in charge of relief
work in Belgium and German sol
diers, he told the Kaiser, were loot
ing food stores consigned to women
and children refugees. An order
that would stop the robberies was
demanded, which the Kaiser at first
refused, declaring that “German
soldiers would not do such things.”
Finally, Hoover, driven to despera
tion, said sternly, “All right, we’ll
SHOOT a few of your soldiers with
the loot in their hands and bring
them to yoi;. Then you will have
to believe it!” The Kaiser, livid
with rage, turned from him, paced
to the end of the garden, then came
back and agreed to issue the order.
’This was witnessed by Ambassador
Girard, who told the story to Mr.
Barker.
“The United States has chosen
wisely,” declares Hr. Barker. “Mr.
Hoover will bring to his new posi
tion all the qualities that, endeared
him to us as a boy. He will bring
in addition a vast experience in
dealing with •problems of the world.
He will bring a trained, scientific
mind, and best of all, he will have
as a basis f.or his actions that fine
chivalry and love of truth that
stamped him as a leader from the
first.”

THE COLLEGE WATCH
— It Tells the College Times ■ —
-By LEONARD H. DELANO—
We learn that an alligator has
been chosen as a fraternity house
pet on the University of Nebraska
campus. What in the world are
college students coming to, anyway?
Of course, it is a young ’gator—a
mature one would take up too much
room in a crowded fraternity house.
And we have a hunch that the
fraternity house wouldn’t be very
badly crowded if the ’gator were
full grown and husky . . . Just the
same we wonder what the emotions
of a brother (who lias exercised lit
tle care in selecting his bootlegger)
would be if he would wake up in
the wee sma ’ hours in the morning
to find the ’gator his bed mate.
The report also adds that the pot
is getting meat, three times a week.
Better watch the number of pledges!
Pershing Rifles, basic honorary
organization in military science on
the Nebraska campus, is filling 40
vacancies this quarter.
A big drive is on at U. 0. L. A.
to sell the full quota of copies of
the Southern Campus, year book.

Competition with “the big univer
sities of the east” is the hope of the
athletic board of IT. C. L. A., which
is organizing a rifle team for the
current year.
“The World’s Largest College
Newspaper,” the Minnesota Daily,
has adopted a new headline type,
Bocloni, in lieu of the old Chelten
ham. With this change, it will as
sume much of the appearances of
the New York Herald-Tribune and
the Oregon Daily Emerald.
You wouldn’t believe it, but 1200
cubic feet of compressed leaves are
hauled off the grounds of the Uni
versity of Minnesota campus at
Minneapolis every day -In loads!
It takes all the time of five gard
eners and a small fleet of IT. of M.
trucks in the fall to transport the
leaves from the campus to the flower
and garden beds, where they are
used for fertilizer.
The annual freshman bonfire at
