DaUy Stlye Hint
For the WeU
Dressed Man
"Clothes made for you" means
just what it says, and if you're
one of those hard-to-fit men this
means much to you. Correctly
tailored clothes are an invaluable
asset, business and socially.
Establishment of
Though it would "be most unwise
for ' me to incur the "wrath of the
matchless Dinamite -Senate, the great
est assemblage of pundits known to
grace the earth, I don't believe that
even that supernal organization has
a man within its fold comparable to
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce for the United States and pos
sibly the Republican nominee for the
Presidency. Hoover is the village
smithy of national politics ; a mighty
man is he, begorra. .
Accomplishments
It would be futile to attempt a sum
mary of this man's achievements in
the length of a column. " Doubtless he
has discharged more difficult work
than any other living human being.
Since his birth at West Branch, Iowa,
in 1874, Herbert Hoover's record has
been an endless story tof Herculean
energy applied to human problems. A
maze of statistics follows his name
in Who's Who, Foreign countries
have elected nim to high honors; sci
entific academies have bedecked him
with laurels; universities have strung
a Chinese alphabet of degrees on his
name. Therefore, I am compelled to
list only a minute part of this Titan's
accomplishments. ' -
In Brief His Work
Unemployment: In 1921 and 1922
Hoover dealt the tyrannical business
cycle a telling blow; too long had its
caprice thrown millions out of work.
By the distribution of accurate statis
tics, he warned business men against
wild-cat schemes, " thereby averting
disasters. He promoted a longer
working year in the railroad and
building industries, thereby helping
labor.
Dams and Waterways: Promoted
the great dam on the Colorado River;
also the St. Lawrence River canal
Developed scheme of inland navigation
for all rivers in this country, accord
ing to regional systems.. Furthered
movement to restrain the turbulent
Mississippi.
Air and Ether: He advocated and
secured regulations conceranig the
advancement of aviation. . . . Fed
eral regulation of radio broadcasting.
War Service: Every schoolboy
knows that Herbert Hoover actually
fed Belgium, Austria, Russia, Ger
many, Balkan states, and hosts of
other peoples. I pass over this feat
because it is known throughout the
world.. , .
And Even Under-ground: He se
cured laws facilitating exploration of
mines containing potash (for farm
ers), and wells containing helium gas.
" Big Business: Successful advocacy
of trade associations to eliminate dis
honesty. Simplification of patent
laws. Enunciation of his great doc
trine against waste of time and sub
stance in American production. Urged
concentration on useful types of com
modities and elimination of worth
less industrial products.
Extra-curriculum Activities: De
spite the demands of his official du
ties, Hoover is the chief executive
arid advisor of more national welfare
organizations worthwhile one for the
health of children, scientific research,
etc. than any other man in this
country.
Internal Affairs
For the sake of brevity, I quote
directly: "His upbuilding of the Bu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce in the Commerce Department
into a genuine 'service bureau' for the
individual American exporter, no mat
ter how small. His, participation in
the settlement, of iSuropean debts to
the American Treasury. His feed
ing of Russia in the days of famine.
His combat against artificially high
prices" fixed' upon us by foreign com
binations in essential commodities,
rfis resolute resistance to the finan
cing of such foreign combinations by
American capital against the interest
of the American consumer. His suc
cessful rectification, by law, of Amer
ican taxation on Americans doing bus
iness in China." - .
. The Hoover Myth
It is thought by some that a man
so efficient as Hoover is a better cal
inet official than he would be a Pres
ident. This discrepancy it attributed
to his failure to show that he is a
statesman as well as an administra
tor. But Williar Hard in the Ameri
can Review of Reviews, which we have
quoted and robbed of material, avers
that Hoover is a man -of intense im
agination humane bearing, and dra
matic decisions. To that article we
refer all doubting Thomases. It
paints the picture of a man unlike
the machine which most people mis
take for Herbert Hoover.
Election of New Treasurer Fea-

cream was served, during which Kay
Kyser's Orchestra played, President
Strudwick Nash announced that as the
regularly elected treasurer had with
drawn from the University it was
necessary to elect his successor. How
ever, he stated that he understood
that the former treasurer was con
templating re-entering the University
in March, and called for an expres
sion of opinion as to whether a new
officer was to be elected or to wait
on the decision of the former treas
urer. It was unanimously voted to
elect another treasurer at the time
Nominations were called for; the
names of Clyde Dunn, Paul Wimbish,
Bill Parham, and J. C. Goodwin were

Carolina Spirit.-
Following Jonas, Profe'ssor Frank
Graham spoke on the honor system
and the unlimited possibilities of the
freshman class. He related several
interesting anecdotes concerning for
mer freshman classes. Then he stat
ed that he wished to impress three
things upon the class." Athletics, hon
or, and books. Side-line athletes were
scored by the professor.
Genesta, "Wizard of Wonders, as
sociate of the late Marry nouoini

Genesta is presenting his original
and death-defying escape from a bar
rel of water and will do it on the
stage at the- Carolina twice on Mon

This act, which has been branded
as one of the most daring in the show
business today, has been played from
coast to coast, and Genesta brings
with him press notices from some of
the leading professors and, in fact,
from leaders in the mystery show bus
iness, declaring that -they are com
pletely mystified by his escape from
the barrel 'of death.
