The joint conclusion to which the President, Ambassador Gibson and | State, Navy and War officials came was | that the only way in which the United | States could promote Tesults at Geneva was to submit a brass-tacks program. That was Hoover's principal contribu- | tion to the discussion at Washington. | When he became Secretary of Com- | merce in 1921 one of the first divisions | he established in his department was | one which he christened the “division of simplified practice.” Three of the performers with the Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus, I skow in Washington o which w COMING WITH CIRCUS May 20 and 21.

Following its rechristening yesterda afternoon at Bolling Field, a big tw motored Sikorsky biplane, which is to be used in an_attempted non-stop flight trom the United States to Santiago, Chile, within the next two weeks, was flown' to Hoover Field, where a number of members of the diplomatic corps trom South American countries were taken on short flights over the city as the guests of John K. Montgomery. president of American International Afrways, which is sponsoring the pro- posed flight. The plane was christened Southern Star by Senora Dona Herminie Arrate de Davila, wife of the Chilean Ambas- sador, in the presence of Government officials and South American diplomats. The plane, an old type Sikorsky land plane somewhat similar to the war-time Sikorsky bombing planes, was formerly Ville de_Paris and was built for Capt. Rene Fonck, French ace, to be used in an attempled transatlantic Mr. Montgomery announced that the plane will be taken back to New York within a few days to undergo load tests and that the flight probably will start from some point in Florida before the middle of May. Brief addresses were made by Dr. L. S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American Union. and Wil- liam P. MacCracken, jr., Assistant Sec- retary of Commerce for Aeronautics, both of them stressing the part aviation is playing in cementing the friendship between the countries of the Americas. Senora de Davila presented silk flags of all the South American nations to Mr. Montgomery, to be delivered to the ruler of each country visited by the plane. She went through the christen- ing ceremony twice, using a bottle of | mineral water the first time for the offi- cial christening and a bottle of cider | for a second ceremony for the benefit of newspaper photographers and motion picture cameramen.

Tt was a man's size job. Gibson ace quitted himself in it in a way that chal- lenged Hoover's admiration from month to month. After the armistice, Hoover had Gibson detached from the diplo- matic service to help him in post-war relief work throughout Europe. When Hoover, then functioning as head of the American relief administration in Eu- rope, found himself in Poland, his war- time adjutant, Hugh Gibson, was again at his elbow as American Minister in ‘Warsaw. 2 On recurring leaves of absence in the United States, Gibson always made his | home at Hoover's Washington house, 2300 S street, and brought his bride | there for their honeymoon in the Spring | of 1922. Gibson has been offered many important posts of duty in the foreign | service. Secretaries Hughes and Kel- logg held him in high esteem. Presi- dent Hoover is sure to advance him one these days—perhaps to a place | nearer the White House than a foreign embassy. (Copyright. BROOKHART IS HURT.
