I PAGE EIGHT THE TUSCALOOSA NEWS TIMES GAZETTE MONDAY, MAY 17, 1926 She Wed College Waiter And Now Laughs at Snobs BY VIRGINIA SWAIM NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, May 17. Herbert Hoover waited on his wife at table, the first time he ever saw her. Then he sneaked out the back door of her sorority house. dropped his apron on the ground and made a call on her through the front door. Her sorority sisters saw their waiter sitting in the parlor and one by one left room, noses in air.

The courtship developed on long geology trips. Lon Henry was the only girl taking the course, and her presence added favor for the scores of young men who took the trips.

Geology that year became Stanford's most popular subject. Hoover was studying mining engineering, and doing practice work inthe offices of several of the busiest engineers of the west.

Hoover insists that his wife made as good shots as he did. When relief came, Lou Henry Hoover was calmly going about her business, gun in hand, apparently having a wonderful time.

This was only one of the episodes of Mrs. Hoover's world travels with her husband. She is equally at home in China, Australia. London, South Africa or Washington. Works For Welfare During Hoover's war work, Mrs.

Because of two claims totalling more than $1.000.000 made up on the estate of the late James B. Duke, tobacco king, who maintained a home at Dukes Park, Smerset count, executors of his estate today asked the chancery court to pass upon validity of the requests and to determine how much money if any at all should be paid to the claimants.

Duke, it is said. was the controlling factor in the power cern, and, relying upon his word and upon his personal credit the power company advanced funds and electricity to the Piedmont Electro Chemical company of Charlotte, the name under which the phosphate were conducted. The operations. never went beyond the experimental stage, it was stated, and its property was recently sold for 000. Trustees of Dilworth M.

Since the executors are stockholders in the Southern and are trustees of funds company created for Mrs. Duke and a daughter, Doris, embarrassment is have arisen as to setsaid to ding of the claims against the estate. LONDON PAPERS HAD FOUR PAGE EDITION TODAY LONDON, May industries are steadily remost from the effects of the covering general strike, only one railroad system was able to give ull service today, Other railway comannounced fifty per cent panies of normal service. Postoffices are congested.

Parcel post service was suspended during the strike and when the workers began to back the packages came in such numbers that the depots were snowed under. Strong hope is held that the miners dispute will be settled, but it will be several days before preliminary arrangements can be made. Meanwhile, coal supplies railroads and industries are steadily dwindling. The proposals outlined by Premier Baldwin must be explained to the miners before their assent can be obtained, while the mine owners remain to be heard from. Some operators, notably in South Wales, are said to regard the premier's proposals unfavorably.

Figuring the cost of the strike has become a fovorite pastime. One estimate places the loss to the national union of railway men at 1,000,000 pounds with the loss to the companies at 5,500,000 pounds. The pound's return to parity Saturday is displayed in all newspapers as a striking, evidence of confidence in Britain's stability and as tribute to the manner in which the country withstood the strike crisis. All the morning papers today reappeared in normal sized sheets, but none exceed four pages. They promise to be larger tomorrow.

CAREERS! Business Woman's Slant in the Series of Disc of "Children or Careers" BY FELICIA ADAMS New York Interior Decorator. If every woman were offered an arbitrary choice between children and a career, there would be few careers. All a woman's natural instincts and her centuries of training would make her choose the natural course, which is maternity. But not every woman makes this choice. Economic pressure often makes it necessary to deny tone or the other, or choose both.

And the choice with many women, since we must agree all women cannot be mothers, is not be- Felicisa Adams tween motherhood and a career, but between domestic routine with the conventional social activity. and a job or profession in which she competes with others, and develops her mental resources. Here, the modern woman choosles the career. Women have creative ability which it not fulfilled in the manner, that is by rearing and training children, must be turned into some other channel if she is to be happy. For selfexpression is necessary to justify life.

The childless woman cannot be excused from greater obligations in the world of art, trade and social service, as the woman can who is bearing children. She should help in her way to make the world more beautiful, and a better place for the children other women are producing to live in. career is not preferable to motherhood, but is probably the best substitute for it that can be found.
