Doak as sec- retary of labor brings to President Hoover's cabinet a man who might be described as an intellectual switch- man. Mr. Doak stopped being a switch- man years ago, but he has never stopped. being intellectual. Frivolous diversions have small place in his life; he is and always has been a hard worker, and his studious habits have made him one of the best-informed men in Washington. In a big white house with pretty flower gardens perched on a high cliff overlooking the Potomac Mr. Doak makes his home with Mrs. Doak, two handsome dogs, and an experienced and sagacious parrot. ew Member of Presid 4 | est Since Spring of ’16 { ] I r * é A Y t The shopper’s Christmas dollar won't buy all the commodities pictured here by the imaginative artist, but government figures indicate that it will go further than it has for 13 or 14 years.
