HOOVER BUSY BUDGET MAKING Republican Nominee Forced Temporarily to Lay Aside Campaign Plans WASHINGTON, July 2 (IP) Secre tary Hoover was forced today to set aside temporarily some of his political cares as Republican presidential nominee in order to work out the department of commerce budget for the 1929 30 fiscal year for which he must take responsibility as a cabinet officer. He saw a number of department heads and some representatives of other departments in the course of this work, and refrained from carrying any further the preparation of his nomination acceptance speech.

Are Your Hens Lying Only They'd Lie By FRANK SULLIVAN Are your hens lying? I mean ly eggs. There no reason why we shouldn't say that a hen lies eggs. It sounds much more refined, and If a few recognized authorities would get together and agree to call it "lying" instead of 1 feel sure that the mob would follow.

If, for instance, you could get H. L. Mencken, Willa Cather, William Lyons Phelps, Burton Rascoe, John Farrar, G. K. Chesterton and Anita Loos to start saying "lying" instead of "laying" whenever discussing the problem of cgg Iayingv I mean lying," among hens, in two years the whole country would follow suit.

That being the case, I repeat are your hens lying? They should be. Now is the season. But as yet almost all hens lie the old fashioned egg which, after being garnered by tho householder, must be transformed into the phase dictated by the appetite; that is to say, omelet, soft boiled, hard boiled, fried sunnyslde up or what you will. Up to the present time practically no hens are able to He an egg that Is already fried sunny side up or soft boiled, although It would be a great convenience. But no! In her present stage of development, a hen is admittedly the most stupid and most stubborn living creature In the whole gamut of flora and fauna.

Once she got the notion that it would be convenience to her owner If she lied her eggs already cooked, that in itself would be enough to cause her to persist In lying (the old fashioned, crude, raw egg. She will go out of her way to do anything to aggravate tho man who furnishes her with food, warmth and shelter. of he be of he no of for W. of a ACCEPTANCE SPEECH WILL IKE POSITION CLE'YS 1 Der ominee Rests Gets Houston in Report 5f CITATION REJECTED ft" cy of Campaign Is Expected to Be Planned Today NEW YORK, July 2 (IP) Gov, Alfred E.

Now? Asks'Frank 'Em Already Cooked The present writer once had a hen who showed sbme signs of being a harbinger of a new era. This hen, whose name was Nellie, being fed mince ham, would produce a ham omelet, but the catch was that she insisted on bld irg her own I'm about producing the Jiam omelet, just like a waiter in a lirst clas3 restaurant.

Company might come In and express desire for a nice ham omelet. Minced ham would then be fed Nellie in a sort of forlorn hope that she might come across with the omelet before the company left. Occasionally she would when she felt like It. More often she would not. Perhaps In the middle of that night she would suddenly decide to oblige in re the omelet, whereupon flie would saunter up the hall, stopping at the door of my room to emit thunderous cackles in an inane sort of way.

This would keep on until I got up and let her In. She would then flap up to my counterpane, deposit the ham on a special blue plate I always kept handy for Just such emergencies, and then gaze at me with a foolish look of triumph on her countenance, which at its best could not be counted a masterpiece of symmetry' or intelligence. Nine times out of ten I hadn't the sllghest desire for a ham omelet at that hour of the night, but unless I Immediately got to work and consumed the thing with a great uli of relish, Nellie would moon" and mope anl sulk for days at a time, refusing absolutely to Ho a olngle solitary egg. My experience with her taught me that possibly it Is just as well not to try and educate the hen. A little knowledge Is a dangerous thing.

REPORT AMUNDSEN BODY FOUND IN SEA Russian Aviator Aiding Arctic Rescue Also Unheard From BRITAIN TO GIVE AID Criticism of Manner in Which Relief Work Handled Crows MOSCOW, July 2 (IP) The Russian aviator Babushkin, who took off from the ice breaker Maligin last Friday, is still missing from that ship, said tonighf radio report to the Soviet rescue commission.

LONDON, July 2 (IP) For a brief space of time today an unconfirmed report was current that the body of Capt.

Roald Amundsen had been found in the sea off Norway. This came in the form of a message to the Exchange Telegraph company, pur porting to be from Oslo, but definite inquiries at Oslo denied the report. Thus the fate of the noted Arctio and Antartic explorer, who went to aid in the search for Gen. Umberto Noblle and his companions in the dirigible Italia, remains a mystery. Meanwhile Great Britain has taken a hand in the rescue work.

Two large seaplanes, the air ministry announced, were being made ready and would shortly join other searching expeditions in the north. These have been able to find no trace of Amundsen and his five companions who set out in the French plane on June 18 and disappeared into the void. Short of Rations There is fear that if Amundsen and the others did not meet death in a disaster of the sea or ice, they will by thi3 time be hard put to it for pnovisions, as they carried only a two weeks supply. The Amundsen plane, which' Ivas piloted ty the French aviator, Guilbaud, when last heard from, soon after its takeoff. was supposed to be in the vicinity of Bear Island.

In addition to Great Britain, Norway, Italy, Sweden and Russia art taking part in the search. Information reaching London from Kings Bay indicates that the Russian ice breaker Krassln, attempting to reach the northwest coast at Northeast Land, where the Nobile radio party and Lieutenant Lundborg, Swedish flier, who rescued Nobile, are stranded, has been blocked by ice, and will try another route. This means delay and delay is serious because the Ice is breaking up and large channels separate the ice floes.
