In Europe as well as in this country it is popularly believed that a remewal of mild weather cccurs every autumn, and the dates of its sup- posed occurrence are more definitely fixed than i8 the case in America.

Mr. Hoover’s Tour. (Seattle Times.) Herbert Hoover has happily solved the problem of how to spend the interim between now and the day of his inauguration. His proposed tour of South America republics is hailed everywhere as a brilliant stroke of statesmanship. As a good- will mission, Mr. Hoover's friendly visit to our neighbors to the southward will be unique. There is another phase of Mr. Hoover's plan to strengthen our ties with the Latin American countries, which has to do with his qualities as a man and his wisdom as a leader. He has no liking for the acclaim of hero-worshipers, no to stage a royal progress through the country. He is deeply conscious of the great honor that has been conferred upon him and of the heavy responsibility that the executive office entails. His preference is for an opportunity to plan his administration policies and to find solu- tions for knotty problems. If Mr. Hoover were to remain in Washington, D. C., during the forthcoming session of Congress, it would be only natural for Senators and Rep- resentatives to seek his counsel and advice and to defer to his judgment. If he remained at Palo Alto there would be a constant procession of delegaticns and office seekers. He realizes that he will have no executive authority until March There weré fewer divorces back in the days When women wanted pin instead of cigarette money.
