Hoover visited the scenes of his boy hood days in Newberg, Tuesday. Asked-about his brief visit, he said: '.. "Things change a lot in 30 years. Newberg, a little town of six house back In the day when I played and went to school as a kid, now has 200. But the old buildings were there. These wooden houses In Oregon seem to weather the rain and the sun nhine," he added with a quick smile, . "as well as the stone houses, Soliool Is Visited. "Yes, t visited the old school, or rather where it used to be. Another building has taken its place." Hoover mused for a moment, as if drifting back through the years when he trudged with other youngsters Into the little country school house( which wasn't red, he said). But his musing was brief. He was In a hurry. Already due to speak be fore the members of the Chamber of Commerce, he good-naturedly gave a few minutes for a newspaper inter view. " ' " : "It's a pretty safe bet .that I wasn't any different from all kids, except maybe a bit fatter," he conceded. "I was In on the parties, from swimming to tying a can to the tail of the par on's dog. Don't believe I ever won many fooj races,, though." Certainly Hoover's recollections of his "kid" days are pleasant. A man busy with nation and world affairs even during his vacation, he seemed to slip happily back In memory to bare foot days. While In Newberg, Hoover visited his childhood nurse, Maria Bowerman, and with his uncle, Dr. H. Q. Mlnthorn with whom he lived, these are dear to him, he said. Recalls Alley Crowd. "And they don't look much older than they did as I remember them years ago. And then, I remember, I thought they were old.' More Oregon climate," he laughed. ' "I saw several of the old-timers. I dont' recall their names. But they remesnbered me as a boy. So, I guess, I belonged to the 'alley' crowd.

Hoover who during thelyou for your splendid editorial in last night's issue of The Capital ' Journal, on traffic law enforcement and believe that it will, do a great deal of good to the careful reader who believes in law enforcement, and is willing to consider the rights of the other fellow, which unfortunately there are a number that do not, and can only be taught bv bringing them before the courts. It is my desire to punish all traffic viola tors and consider it the only means of protecting the careful and considerate driver, as well as the pedestrian who is at the mercy of these inconsiderate fiends who are leaving numerous dead and maimed vitcims strewn along our streets and highways. I am enclosing my latest order to my traffic officer that you may see that I am interested in the enforcement ofi this law and ordinances, and will ev-' erytMng in my power to enforce it in this city, Again thanking you for your splendid editorial, I am. Yours truly, T. J. WELSH, Chief of Police. Salem, Or., Aug. 18. Hops Look Fine Mission Bottom Conscience Fund Enriches State ' In the hop section of the Mission!

Prohibition Produces Brand New Disease Seattle, Wash., Aug. 19. Prohi bition has produced a new mental disease, according to Donald A. Mc Donald, State Director of , Federal Prohibition. And the new disease is proving one of the most potent weapons of en forcement of the prohibition law, he says. Although he admits science has probably not yet classified the new mental disease, he has already given it a name phobia libatus. "Phobia libatus is a compounded term borrowed from the Greek and the Latin," Director McDonald said, "expressing in phobia an unreason able fear, and in libatus an explan ation that the fear is one against pouring out a sociable drink or tak ing a satisfying draught from the neck of a bottle. I attribute this phenomenon of the mental convolu tions as directly traceable to the variety of common moonshine whis key we have with us. "At first this phobia did not exist Then a number drank freely, some of them wood alcohol, and others quantities of fuel oil. Some died and others lingered in hospitals. . The quality of the liquor being sold was not inquired into a first..
