We Jiad known, of course, for almost a month that it was near, but that did not change our sentiment at the time.

"As a matter of fact," said Hoover with a smile, "that was the pleas-antest Armistice Day I can remember, for the succeeding years meant a series of speeches to me, and I never enjoyed that. This is a vacation. I'm simply going to sit and look at St. James Park." When police enaeavored to move the crowd of children on, who clamored for his signature, the ex-president said: "That's all right, I'll sign for them. It will be that much less in my mail.

I have a rule that we sign only those for applicants under 15 years of age. I was a boy once myself." REBEKAH MEETING IS LARGELY ATTENDED Over 200 persons from Crbana.

Among the "bloc" proposals, In addition to the bonus and paper inflation, are: Complete remonetizatlon of silver, urged by the "silver bloc." Creation of a central bank to Issue all money. Enactment of a mandatory 30-hour week law, with exceptions. A soak-the-rich plan of taxation, boosting the present high inheritance and income taxes.
