President Hoover, on the occasion of the new year yesterday, proclalmed the London naval treaty in effect for the United States.

New Year day reception at the White House yesterday was the fortieth func- tion of that kind attended by Irvin Hoover, whose official title is chief ‘White House usher, but whose duties are of such an important and intimate nature as to cause him to be unofficially referred to as the White House major domo. As he ‘stood on the sidelines yesterday watching with interest the long stream of callers as they filed past President and Mrs. Hoover to exchange greetings, he casually remarked that he had been watching sights like that, since 1891, you'll like it, IRVIN HOOVER. | —Harris-Ewing Photo. | row Wilson's wedding.

Neither the President nor Mrs. Hoover today, showed any ill effects from the Newd Year day reqgption yes- terday when they were on their feet for nearly four hours while they shook hands with 6,420 people, and to each said & few words of greeting. It was a real undertaking to receive that many people, the largest number to attend a New Year day reception at the White House since the Roosevelt reception in 1908. Yesterday's crowd exceeded the reception a year ago by more than a thousand persons. Because of the physical demands on suck oc- casion, it was actually an crdeal, but Mr. and Mrs. Hoover stood it splendid- ly and seemed just as fresh at the con- clusion as they were at the beginning. Despite the biting cold outside, there were more than 5,000 men, women and children in the public line. There were approximately 1,400 in the ro-called official line, in which were the high officials of the Government, members of the diplomatic corps, and others prominent in social and official circles. They .were received firsi. Children Given Attention. An interesting feature was the pres- ence in the public line of such a great number of well dressed young women and smal children. There were at least 100 infants in the procession, and each, as well as many of the larger children, received a special greeting and special smile. Mrs. Hoover invariably asked the name and age of the little children. Some seemed confused at this atten- tion. When she inquired of W, S. Hig- ginson of Clifton Terrace the name of an 8-month-old baby in his arms and learned that it was Joan, she enthusi- astically replied the name was the same as that of her youngest grandchild and gave little Joan’s hand an extra squeeze. There were a number of elderly peo- ple in the line, several of them quite feeble, but just as enthusiastic over the affair as the younger persons about them. One of these was a man who recalled President Lincoln, and who in answer to an inquiry from the President said hig name was D. C. Beery, and that he was 85 years old and a farmer from Missouri. He said he was visiting Wsshmgwh lt the home of his son, g ry. pastor of the Qavalry Sou!h m Methodm Church. ‘Woman in Line Twice. | While everybody enjoyed the experi- ence of meeting the President and First | Lady, there was only one who wanted to go through the line a second time. This was a middle-aged woman whose iden- tity was not learned. When a police- man notited her in the line again and asked her why she had returned she replied that the first time she went through she forgot to notice what Mrs. Hoover, was wearing and she didn’t want to leate until she found out. As has been his good fortune for five consecu- tive years, John Hunefeld, a 62-year-old house painter, was the first person in the public line. He took his position at the front gate at 7:35 in the morning. He was very proud of winning this honor again. However, his distinction was considerably overshadowed by the fact that Arthur J. Marlow Means MORE! MORE comfort for your money, MORE cleanliness and MORE convenience— that's what the name Marlow means to anthracite. Try our better hard coal— Marlow Coal Co. Recalls Harrison’s Reception. It was in May of that year that Mr. Hoover, ‘who was more familiarly know: from the President on down as “Ike, was first employed at the White House. Benjamin Harrison was President then, and the New Year day reception, while probably just as striking and similar to yesterday’s in many ways, was tre- mendously different in a number of respects, according to “Ike” Hoover. In the first place, the styles of the dresses and clothes worn by those at- tending were so different. Most of the men wore mustaches or bzards, or what were referred to in those days as “side- burns.” Other differences were principally in the physical aspects within. the White House itself. On the occasion of Mr. Hoover's first White House New Year reception there was not an electric wire in the bullding, the illumination being furnished by gas and candles. The heat was in the form of hot air and open fires. Basement Rooms Unfurnished. ‘The rooms on the basement floor of | becams assoclated with the White House | staff there were only a few employes | | compared with the number now on duty. In the executive office there were only | 5 and at the present time there are | more than 60. Mr. Hoover has been close to the nine Presidents under whom he has | served and the various members of their families, and_treasures numerous me- mentoes received from each of these Presidents, as well as from many of the illustrious men who were identified with those ldministratlnns AIR RECORD "RECOGNIZED FREEPORT, N.

On March 10, 1930, she attained in a heavy cabin monoplane an altitude of 27418 feet. She was informed today by the National Aeronautical Associa- ‘tion of the United States that her rec- ord had been homologated and accept- ed by the Federation Aeronautic Inter- 811 E St. N.W. the White House were damp and un- furnished and virtually unused except | for storage places, Then those who attended the official part of the recep- tion drove up to the White House n carriages instead of automobiles, Als refreshments wege served at the Dmclnl reception. It is recalled in this connection by Mr. Hoover that in receptions in the Cleveland days refreshments were served not only to those who attended the official reception but to those in the public line. Refreshments were served in the ad- ministrations of Taft and Wilson. 'There is probably no man i Washington who has had a better opportunity to meect more notable men and women of this country and other countries than “Ike” Hoover. 1In his capacity at the White House he receives callers before they are ushered Into the presence of the Executive-and First Lady.
