With the introduction of the
Sparton Equasonne, radio at
last ceases to be experimenta
tion and becomes as staple as
furniture. We therefore take
pleasure in announcing the ad
dition of the Sparton to our
lines.
All who hear it marvel at this
radio that's a year ahead of any
thing in the industry. Amazing'
is the absolute Tone Truth of the
Equasonne, but still more amaz
ing is its tone completeness. All
the rich overtones all of every
thing that is original music is in
this perfect reception as well.
Hear the Equasonne and you,
too, will marvel.

Mrs. Herlwrt Hoover Is
Neither Ultra-modern
Nor Old-fashioned
Ily limit Money
(Written lor NIC A Service)
I'AI.O ALTO, Oil. There has,
perhaps, never been In the White,
Kouse u w oman of such varied c
cauiplitihmenu and Interests us the
new Kirst Lady-elect, Mrs. Lou
Henry Hoover.
I'ur instance, she wanted a (inlet
visit with her father, u few your
ago. No she Het out with him in hii
automobile and drove him all the
way from Wushlnnton to California.
Hut that is only a small part of tho
picture.
This woman, who. In hep col
lege days, mujorcd In geology be
cause she liked It and spent her
leisure, moments delving into an
cient Latin in order to translate u
hook on geology that moderns did
not possess, is an unusual sort of
person.
You muy find her engrossed in
a children's party, or reading an
abstruse book, doing fancy work,
or talking politics or world affairs.
You may find her deep in house
hold matters or equally deep In
public work, tho sort of thing she
does for girl scouts. Hut what
ever she Is doing at tho moment,
she is doing It well.
Tho Kcynolo
That, probably, Is tho keynote
of Mrs. Hoover. She Is capable
and she Is assured. She has done
many things and she has done them
easily ami confidently, and tnokn
forward to doing what the future
holds for her in the same manner.
Life, nr matter how complicated.
Is no trouhlo to her? She knows
what to do and does It.
This, perhaps. Is a family trait,
for she, us well us tho rest of the
world, takes it for granted that
whAtever Herbert Hoover starts to
do, he, too. will accomplish.
A few days before election a
friend asked Mrs. Hoover lr she,
were not nervous.
"Oh. not ut nil!" she answered,
smiling. "I have lived with this
young man for twenty-six years."
A Ural Onnpniilo.il
In a very rea) sense. Mrs, Hoover
is confidante and companion of
this man who Is to be president.
Yi.t h u ur..f...iir ..,.,,..... tn
that her husband confides In her.
She KlnniK- lu n m ,.f ..C i.i.,.Jk
no says and does. Nothing gos
on In the Hoover family without I
her. Hack In colleKn days, this
companionship begun with tho
Iranslallon of that undent work on
geology. They did It together. Ju
ail the years since they have done
everything together.
And so the Hoovers lire a very
friendly futility. They lire not do
nionstrative, ,or that is not the
Quaker way. Hut It Is very easy
to see (hat they like to be with
each other. Parents, sons, daugh-lers-ln-law,
grandchildren, aro all
good friends. And ovor them all,
Mrs. Hoover presides, plans, di
rects. And plays with them. When
her own grandchildren are not
about, her backyard In Washing
ton Is often filled with youngsters
from nearby families.
"Such a nice bunch of children
out here. I want to see what they
are doing." she will say. And the
party Ik on.
H Is Impossible to classify Mr.
Hoover as a type. She Is not a
"modern woman' nor an "old
fashioned" woman in the sense tit
which those terms are used. She
is a woman who would lu
Him It ml place sliiml out as n
Unci personality. Yet definite and
forceful as her personality H, Min
is u woman who has learned the
difficult art or subordinating her
M,,l to her famous husband.
i hough she Is a part of whatever
noes forward In the Hoover fam
ily, she is an unobtrusive part In
mailers ,(ver which her husband
is presiding.
Calls Him "Itrrl"
She, by the way, calls this fam
ous husband "Hert." Throughout
Hie campaign, with Its slogans ami
calih words, the public failed to
hit upon this nickname ror Its new
hero, Hut It Is the one she uses.
Mrs. Hoover has fluffy white
hair whlrh was never bobbed. She
has keen blue eyes, observant, and
Intelligent. She dresses very sim
ply. She has no jewelry, With
the money with which she might
purchase precious stones she buys
beatiltlu pictures.
