She must come back to Alpine again and take another road to the cast- ern part of the district. “It is impossible to cross cast to west in any part of this dis- trict, cxcept the far south end where canyons empty into the river. There are no roads back up canyons from the river. These canyons have to be entered from the north.” Name Not Reported The name of this feminine camp- ing-out census taker in Texas was not reported by Supervisor Case to the bureau here. But census offi- cials agreed the service she will per- form is noteworthy. They also pointed to her as an illustration that no trail is too difficult for Uncle Sam to take in his quest for a com- plete accounting of all the inhabi- tants of the nation.

Com- merce and industry has been quick to realize the opportunity afforded by color. So in the schools the pupils are using more and stronger color in their art work.” Examples of stained glass win- dows, landscapes and cven portraits in which colors were strongly con- trasted were exhibited. In conclu- sion the speaker discussed commer- cial posters and contrasted two travel pictures — the one a sepia photographic picture of an Alpine peak and the other the same peak in color and as visualized by the emotional reaction of the artist.

Whether the nation will let him, is another question. Von Hindenburg’s seven year term as president expires in May, 1632, He will then be almost 85 years old. The most ardent wish of the vigorous octogenarian is then to retire to the estate of his fore- bears at Neudeck, in Eastern Prus- sia and to lead the quiet life of a country squire. ‘Whether, however, his country- men in 1932 will at last relieve him from public duly remains to be seen. Many, including the late Dr. Gustav Stresemann and former Am- bassador Jacob Gould Schurman, believe the nation will reclect him president. “Field Marshal von Hindenburg will remain president of Germany as long as he lives,” the late for- eign minister once told me. “It will be urged upon him that Emperor William I, remained at the head of the government until his ninety- second year, and I shall miss my bet if as patriotic, self-effacing a man as our president is not swayed by that argument.” Mr. Schurman expressed similar sentiments after his last chat with the head of the German nation, be- fore he returned to America. However that may be, President von Hindenburg devotes every lei- sure moment to planning what he will do when he can take charge actively of the paternal estate of Neudeck which the grateful nation presented to him on his cightieth birthday. The cstate, consisting of a maner house, several smaller buildings, a new homestead, begun in 1928, farm land and some forest, has been in the hands of the family for cen- turies. Hindenburg's father took charge of it in 1863 upon the death of the president’s grandmother. It then passed on to the wife of Hin- denburg's younger brother, Otto. The latter died in 1908. His widow continued to live there but war and inflation made her fortune dwindle, g0 that she could not keep up the estate, A group of Fast Prussian war veterans conceived the idea of rais- ing a fund to buy the estate from the sister-in-law and present it to the president on his eightieth birth- day. The League of German In- dustrialists endorsed the plan and raised more than a million marks for purchasing and renovating the estate and for erecting a modern homestead upon it. Hindenburg himself, on Sept. 11, 1925, laid the corner stone for the latter, saying as he did so: “May God's blessing rest upon : Socony Special p/us Ethyl is like the finest Strawberries plus Cream UT good cream on ordinary strawberries — a fair dessert.

May my descendants ever be faithful to. the motto, ‘Un- daunted in fidelity, forward with God." " The deed to the property bore the inscription, “The undefeated army to its illustrious leader.” Tt is this estate upon which the president’s thoughts are centered. In his chats with friends, Neudeck up again and again. Thus, when Ambassador Schurman made his farewell call, almost the entire 45 minutes were taken up with the president’'s showing to his Amer- ican friend pictures and plans of Neudeck. To the wife of a distinguished German professor who dined with him on January 30, the president said, with a twinkle, “I'm a bit afraid of Neudeck., You know how badly agriculture is now faring. Then how can I be expected to make a success of farming?"” The professor's wife, with mock solemnity reminded him: *“But, Herr Reichspresident, you have so often professed your sympathy with the farmer that you'll have to prove it by sharing his lot.”” That the president’s mind has been fixed upon Neudeck for some time is evidenced by the fact that Hugo Vogel, the “man who painted Hindenburg,” has for the past three years presented him each birthday with a painting for the Neudeck home. On the eightieth birthday it was a view of the gardens as seen from the rear veranda. The next year it was a view of the veranda as seen from the garden. “But the present he enjoyed most,” Vogel said, “was the surprise I had for him last October, when I painted the ruins of the original family estate at Hindenburg, near Stendal, where his ancestors lived before they moved to Neudeck. Hindenburg’s family, you know, can be traced uninterruptedly back to 1208. That is better than the Ho- henzollerns, whose family tree shows gaps here and there.” President von Hindenburg does not propose, however, to remain at Neudeck all the time. “When I've done my time here,” he said to Forelgn Minister Julius Curtius, “I'd like to do a little traveling. T don’t want to sit up in Neudeck year in, vear out.” Also, it may be taken for granted that, once a year at least, he will go to Hanover, where the city has set aside a home for him and where he lived before becoming president. He never misses a pilgrimage ta Hanover on the anniversary of his wife's death, to stand beside her grave in silent prayer.
