In making the selections men with whom politics is simply ao Incident and not their profession will be pre ferred, and one close to the President is authority for the statement that probably not m single name so tar mentioned will be found on the com. mission. :, f s.- The Presidint, it is known, is searching the universities and col leges of this country for i suitable men. The high standard which the Pres ident has set for the commission re stricts the circle from which the members can be chosen, and in this sense simplifies his work Secretary Olney is in daily consul tation with the ' President on the matter. ijXlXX' , for Those Who ara Hungry.
