President Hoover, believing
that eeonoiriy should begin nt
home, will put the presidential i
ynclit Mayflower out of eoni-1
mission. The president win no
his yntcliing in a rowboat, when
fishing. The country will save
$1)00,000 a year, and 148 sail
ors that have wasted their time j
on the Mayflower will be as
signed to new naval vessels.

The Mayflower has been add
ed to the cost of maintaining
a President ever since the days
of Theodore Roosevelt, and

tion to discontinue a thorough

The people would not grudge
a good President any comfort,
