PRESIDENT PLANS "RETURN T0 CAMP Ne;‘(t Week End Sojourn Not tp Interfere With Regatta Attendance. ‘President Hoover has decided to spend the next week end at his camp in the Virginia mountains, but this will not prevent him from participating in the awarding of the President’s Cup at the conclusion of the motor boat tesn"—l on the Potomac River next Sal ay aft- ernoon. The President and Mrs. Hoover and a party of friends will view the races from the deck of the Coast Guard cut- ter Seneca, and immediately following the awarding of the President’s Cup the President and Mrs. Hoover will re- turn to the White House and make ready for the journey to the camp on the Rapidan River. It has not been decided yet just what guests the Presi- dent will invite on this occasion. The high’ temperature in Washington during the past few days is under- stood to have prompted the President to plan an outing for the next week end. Last week he announced that the Summer was virtually over and vaca- tions were a thing of the past and his visits to his mountain retreat would be very infrequent from now on until next Spring. Sabbath Quietly Observed. ‘The President and Mrs. Hoover ob- served the Sabbath yesterday very quietly. They attended services in the morning at the Friends’ Meeting House at Thirteenth and Irving streets. A number of friends were their guests for dinner at the White House and a still larger number were guests at dinner last night. During the afternoon the President went for a stroll, which car- ried him to the governmental buildings in course of construction south of Penn- sylvania avenue. Here he paused for a few moments to see what had been done on the new Department of Com- ‘merce Building and then spent an equal length of time looking on at the rap- idly climbing Internal Revenue Build- It Is not necessary to have had an Account at this Bank to Borrow THE MORRIS PLAN BANK Usder Sypasvision U, 5.

He made a rather complete in- spection of the interior of the building. Mr. Hoover made only one engage- ment for today, it being with Rear Admiral Jones, who has represented this country at the last two prelim- inary disarmament conferences in Ge- neva as the naval expert of the United States, and who has been one of the President’s closest advisors since nego- tiations were opened with Premier Mac- Donald looking to an agreement upon a principle to be followed in future naval reductions. Tilson Is Caller. Representative Tilson of Connecticut, Republican leader of the House who arrived in Washington today to attend the Republican national committee din- ner tonight in honor of Dr. Hubert ‘Work, the retiring chairman, dropped in on the President for a brief chat. Representative Tilson said a rd that they discussed nothing of any significance. He said he told the Pres- ident that he was still hoping that the tariff bill would be enacted and out of the way before the time for the regular session of Congress arrived. He said also that while the House is to re- convene September 23, and by reason of agreement upon three-day recesses until October 14, that the House, therefore, will not actually get down to business again until that date. The President received the men and women of the Republican national com- mittee who are meeting at the Willard today. The rece{mon was in his office and was informal. Late this afternoon the chairman and other members of the executive committee will pose with the President for a photograph, in the rear grounds of the White House.

It is here the greatest possible care and skill must be exer- cised in the treatment of stains. Each spot requires special consideration to prevent the weakening of the fiber or the removal of color. Even today, sonme spots cannot be entirely removed. New materials are coming on the market constantly. When “spot- ted,” they demand new methods. The proper removal of spots and stains is one of the most highly technical phases of dry cleaning, demanding expert workmanship.
