The WORLD In Review Hoover Wards Off 800 Callers; Mexico Is in Midst of Revolution -By ART SCHOENI ThRESIDENT HOOVER is now cx pcricndng trials similar to those ot' a managing edWor pf a college daily at the start of school. After being duly5 installed in the White House that has been Cool idge’s for the past six years, the high sachem sat down and started to ward off job-hunters. They came in hordes and droves, his first-day visitors numbering 800. Hoover took on the role of a har vest hand in between his medita tions about the evils of rebels and -Mexican revolutions and mowed a swath in the ranks of those who wanted a “hand-out” job for the votes they polled for liiyn last No vember. UN 8 ARE HOPPING again from behind the Mexican cac tus gardens. Revolts started the first of *the month for t#ie under stood purpose of unseating President Portes Gil and putting in his rival for the presidential job in the re mit campaign, Gilberto Valenzuela, ex-minister of Mexico to Great Pritain. 'Idle rebels had the advantage of surprise during the first part of the uprising and raptured several strong vantage cities, but with the arming of government troops, the news col umns are full of loyalist victories. American interests in Mexieo amounting to two billion dollars, have nbt been touched by the revo lutionaries, who are smart enough to keep from roiling Uncle Sam, who last mouth signed a pact to abolish war. THE WEDDING of Colonel Olias. A. Lindbergh and his fiancee, Miss Anne Morrow, who al most got theirs in an airplane wreck last week, will probably take place in the next week, friends of the pair having divulged that they have received invitations to attend the affair. Probably no marriage iit recent history has attracted the notice of the world as the coming nuptials-of the famed flier and his bride will bring. The plane wreck in which Lindy injured his shoulder did not seem to. daunt him or Miss Morrow very much. Before many hours they were flitting across tho sky again one hand. « ® * TRUE TO HIS promise ill his in augural speech, Hoover is-turn ing his eyes toward a solution of Die prohibition problem of the na tion. During his campaign, lie expressed himself as favoring an investigation with Lindy steering his plane with into today’s burning opus entitled “Why Americans Break Laws and Drink Hootch.” When Senator Harris of Georgia proposed spend ing $24,000,000 to try to enforce prohibition, Hoover took the stand along with Treasury Keeper Mellon that lie would liko to find out what was the matter with the liquor aboi- j ishment forces before spending mil- I lions without knowing where it was j going. He will appoint a probing board soon, says late press dispatches. * * • ^TVABLOID BITS from the press: A John D. Rockefeller Jr. ’« friends I have ousted Colonel liobt. W.

Waldorf Paint Company “The Store for Paint-’ 51) 101 h Avenue West S A Funny Little, Sunny-Tempered Truck Comes Gathering-—Girls By LOIS NELSON A funny little truck, a sunnv-tem pered one that doesn’t go very fast \ or very slow, cftmes gathering at the University of Oregon every day. Its driver’s name is Sam Manerud, but you always call him Sam be | cause everyone else does. Sam stops at a corner every day and rings a funny little bell. The bell—it really does sound like a eowbell—brings forth, not laundry nor milk bottles, but college women, trimly attired in riding Jiajoits, who call “Hello Sam—sorry I 'm late.” ° They hop in and perch themselves on one of two little benches in the “lumpity” little truck. When enough habit-clad girls have piled in, away goes Sam out to Bangs’ Riding academy, of which he is owner, for the day’s classes. Eighty-five university women are signed up for horseback riding this year, taking it for credit as their physical education requirement. This is, Sam declares, one of the largest riding classes the university has ever had, and to him it is a demonstration that the popularity of the sport is growing, rather than languishing as it did from about 1910 to 1920. Worni n students ride two hours an aftt n a each week, making up the thir ' required hour if physical educate . n some other sport. Sam Manerud, v.i has made his j mine in Eugene for udv 30 years md has been com. .led with the icademy more than 1 wo, says that icing in charge of <■!.■. s has taught lim one tiling—"g d are-game.” “A girl who is a id and shows i, is about as ran r ; a blue moon, oine of them coma nit here, and I anow they haven't ridden much be fore and are nervous, but they just smile and stick to it,” the veteran rider related. “Sometimes they fall . . .

The most serious injury any girl ever has had in this group was a broken foot,” he con tinued. “Biding horses makes good sports out of people.” Sam thinks, too, that riding is one of the best recreations, because it develops muscles Usually ncifl lceted. “And then you get out in the fresh air and the country and get to see nature,” he added. The owner hopes to build a riding 1 hall, about 200 by 180 feet next year “if things go right.” This, he declared, will make pos sible mose thorough evening rid ing performances. He has about 18 horses this yea -. “You might mention that Lady is the girl's favorite horse—everyoi. ■ wants to ride Lady,” Sam sai “Bess is the second choice and tin n lots of girls like trt ride No Foolin . Skeet, Cling and Helen. “But for the real treat- we a ways give the girls Snowball,” Sa. i laughed, explaining that poor Snov ball, because of a deliberate gai , is the academy joke. “Satisfyin ■ riders in assigning horses at ever class isn't always so easy,” th equestrian said. “But 1 just te 'eni, ‘No, you don't want to rid lady today; here’s Bess, she’s good horse, ’ and that fixes it.” Girls make good riders and learn M;; kv’> believes the academ; owner. *: ;si9Riimi OUR NESTLE PERMANENT WAVE Water Wave, 50e Finger Wave, 50e Marcel, 75e Manicure, 50c I 1 S i i i H ■ fcj ■ i i' ll i & R.
