Eyebrows raised in surprise when she appeared in the house gallery, knitting needles busily flying, there was surprise when she drove her own car.

McIntyre, in pro- nouncing the president in “fine shape,” said today. “The reason for it, I think, and best thing about It, is his general attitude on life—cheerful, optim- istic outlook, never expecting trouble. “Few little colds the president has suffered have amounted to nothing at all. “They were so trivial that if | WASHINGTON, March 2.— _ October.) | low-cost, high-food content menus. | they had happened to anyone else ex ses lls ve aR riculture and industry.” The president ASST.
