Of the, mil lions of words already written abont Herbert Hoover, and the countless num - bers that are now being spun, tfyj fin est summation of the man ' comes in the president elects own line: "I don't waste my en ergies running around in cir cles I g o fishing." For. in these twelre words, lie to the outstanding marks of his suffsis directness, and a keen ens fit proportion, sparkled with delightful humor. J This element of levfty doesn't mark eften his utterances on the aabjeeta usually termed "weigh ty". His formal conversations do ut show much signs of the hu morist. For directness prompts that there be.no confusion aa to meaning. Ye his riews, when expressed Informally talking to friends, ceiore small groups of Intimates, or eras before societies of specific interest- cover the range of ev-(pry-dar-every-man affairs, with tfipreerlon- light and cryptic Look at these slants, culled from quotations made by Mr, Hoover at divers times since he entered the world spotlight PUBLIC OFFICE: "Frequently I may almost say generally those In public office, city, state and national, are damned If they do and damned if tbey don't."

CONVICTION: "The time has gone by when convention can be carried by noisy phrases, quips and demagogic half-truths but tered with emotion.

CITY'S SERVANT ' SOLVED IN Part Time Continuation School In Saiem Has House maid's Course Included in Its Curriculum . of Service BY GENEVIEVE MORGAN H AS Salem a servant problem? "hired girls? And do "hired such any longer, have trouble with tne mistress 7 It's an old, old story in the big cities, the constant come and go of domestic servants.' Few Norahs and Bridgets but who move from place to place, or at least wish they could. But, Salem a servant problem! Why, Salem's justvan overgrown country town, iwuu comparatively few) proteniuous homes, though plenty of prosper ous ones. And yet. there is stp parently the beginning of aj ser vant problem in this city;1 ttya problem is small yet, and al ready there are signs that it may be stopped before it is lusty enough to make a real noise. That is the opinion of Mrs. Lillian S. Van Loan, who probably comes into contact with both ends of the servant problem more than ; any other individual in the city. What Ceases It ; What makes a , servant prob lem? In the first place some housemaids (the newer term for hired girl) don't know how to sen a table correctly. Ana inai bm the housewife employer dis gruntled. And other housewives 40nt know that a salad can be made a work of art and that at tractive arrangement is almost as important as having the lettuce leaves thoroughly washed. Such is one phase of the situation. Another reason, and probably the fundamental one. Is that girls who work at housemaids' duties make no effort to train them selves or be trained for, the posi SM VTOWrfcf tho fint tfaao, rtdloi la color!

PROBLEM; ITS INCEPTION Do housewivse have trouble keeping girls" thbugn there is really no tion; they slmgily use the Job as a stepping stone to other fields, to better! things. What matters how Mrs. Grundy's work is done, so long as the pay check is forth coming? Something bette ris just over the hill. Neither can house maids be made to realize that one must look backward to see that "'tis distant fields that lend en chantment" Training Solution The solution, or at least part of It. then, lies In training the rlrls J feel that their work is on a high er level than many seem now to regard It? Yes. But more of that later. Another reason why house maids and housewives aren't al ways satisfactory to each other is because the mistress expects the gfrl to plan and often execute complete meals. A mstter which Mrs. Van Loan avows is absurd, for few. girls have the training in food values, or preparation of a balanced meal, that the housewife has. Then, of course, there is the matter of the employer wanting a thing done one way, when the girl wants to do It another Way. This little kink could often be amicably SiGQCfll try fa vttrr own k9WMftrtt re . Then emtratft it you bvttfr pcifbfioftftCw And ruo ocrer. xr youft not ends tho matter.

TJ adjusted through use of a writ ten Instruction sheet, Mrs.' Van Loan believes. Day Off Is Problem And stul notner knot is found la the "day off" proposition. Aside from one day a week, IX she allowed that, tne girl is apt to want to go out the very day tne housewife's old school chum drops in so unexpected. It seems to be almost a question ot girls expect ing days off now ana than, and the employer not expecting them. .Well, now the slory is that far, what's to be done about it? Let's put it, rather, what is being done about it? For something is be ing done, right here la balem. In New lock City, where ser vants are as numerous as any and all people in balem, the servant problem, became so annoying that some practical persons conceived the idea ot tounaing a training school tor housemaids. The idea was executed, with results that are said to be eye-openers. Mrs. Van Loan, who is head of the part time continuation school here and who through the school comes in contact with many of the local housemaids as well as their employers, read of the New York housemaids' courses, with the result that last spring she ex perimented with it on a plan and scale to suit -local needs, in a six weeks' course for housemaids. Experiment Succeeds The experimental course took," and through demand from both girls and mistresses a 12-weeks' course covering the field more thoroughly has Just been started. The girls who are in the course will learn all about that annoying detail, table ser rlce; about salads and salad dressing variations; care of lin ens, pastry work;1 care of silver ware; attractive service of meat and vegetable dishes. Then there will be the personal aspect of mats course; the girl's appearance; care of herself; and the training that the girls may feel their Job Also exquisite furniture model designed by expert cragsmen.

It Is a well knows fact that training stabilises labor turnover for where there Is satisfactory ..rriA thera is little desire to change help. And so it applies to the new course for the housemaid, of i-nuru. the class, which is ac tually taught by Mrs. Gladys Jen sen head of the noma economic department of the Salem high school, does not include all the housemaids in Salem. There are some, both mistress and mald, who do not care to "pariaae. i i. ! rfrls who wisli to advance further that are enrolled, trying, unconsciously, to help eradicate the first symptons oi a social Mi that la usually thought of only In connection with metro politan areas.
