Dishes v. Bears

To the 16th annual convention of the Girl Scouts of America at Indianapolis last week went "Buffalo," their honorary president--Mrs. Lou Henry Hoover. Dressed in a natty scout uniform she posed with the delegates. When a uniformed constable attempted to marshal the posers, she cried: "Here, here! We don't want any policemen in this picture!" She instructed a group of newshawks: "Girl Scout work teaches young girls the importance of housework. You know, I think it takes just as much courage to wash dishes three times a day as it does to go out and shoot a bear." From Indianapolis she went to Bedford, Ohio where she met her husband on his way to Cleveland to address the American Bankers Association. In Mrs. Hoover's absence, Washington socialites commented on her not yet having chosen a successor to the White House social secretary, Mary Randolph, who resigned last spring. Washington decided that Mrs. Hoover intends to be her own hostess this winter, to offer less formal official hospitality.
