dresses During Summer. Must
Stay At Desk.
WaJ^inertin; June 18. — .Seeking to
divone the White K',-» .se the po
litical details of the coming presiden
tial campaign. President Hoover an-
t^hoilnced today he would withdraw
from the active drive for his reelection
with the exception of a few major'
.^peechei. {
In brief statement handed tol
newspapermen, the Presidept asserted j
“My ui'Jivided attention must be*
given to the duties of my office.” {
The chief executive added that in
order to gam this end, Republican j
campaign headquarters' would be re-t
moved from the capitol to Chicago)
‘ and New York. !
ESIlPSE OF SUN TO,
BE KEENLY WATCHED
Mi£riy Nations Will Send
Ob^servers to America.
Nt'vv Yi*rk.—A new record for the
nmnber of astronomical parties ob
serving a total eclipse of the sun will
be set on August 31 of this year, when
the nieon's slmdow p.asses across east
ern (\inada and New England.
.> Word lias already been received ol
10 in^fitiitioiT.s whose re^>resentative^
will be in tlie path of the siiadow. and
jirobalily p number of otIuTs will also
send astronomers to make oltserva
tions only possible wlieii the moon
liides tlie sun. Hniulreds of otlier
profes.sional and amateur students of
tlie heavens will go to see this rare
plienonienon. generally reganiYd as
the u)i»st Impressive of natural spec-

he explaine^i, will be placed in thej
hands ( f party leaders headed by
Kverett Sanders, former secretary to
Pre.sident Coolidge and newly elect
ed chairman of the Republican na
tional ommittee. ,
“The campaign,” he declared flat
ly, “will be conducted and managed
entirely by Chairman Sanders and
the Republican organization.
Sanders was still in Chicago to
day, bat wiU reao^ Wa.shington
probably bi^-tomorrow' or Monday
for a series of conferenc*es.
As the keynote statement of his
persona! activities during coming
months, the chief executive’s words'
today -carried with thenv wide im-|
plicators. Barring unforseen de-
velopmcnu, they limited the radius
of his movements largely t;p Jhc
M’hite House grounds and the com
paratively binef diiitance to his fish
ing camp in the Virginia moun-
tainis.
Apparently the statement had ' as
one of it.s aims the shutting off of
the usual flood of invitations ask-
incjtl^Bjpesidervt to visit and speak
iiruiHPffwn or that throughout the
counlry'.
Although the president’s state
ment did not bar absolutely his pre
viously scheduled trip to the west
coast, he indicated it was extreme
ly unlikely that he would go.
“In accordance with the tradi
tion since their beginning that
heads of states should open the
Olympic games,” he said, “I had
hoped to asail myself of that plea
sure and I had also hoped to *pend
a few days at my home at Stanford
university, but at the moment it
_eeems in^robable^-as . my paramount
duty~rs" here.”
This would mean that Mr. Hoo
ver’s speech of acceptance, as pre
viously indicated at the White House,
would be delivered from the high
south portico of the executive man
sion. It has been indicated that this
address will be delayed until late in

thought we could
have some sour cream

creamed chicken out of that left
over chlckea I want to show you
how to make the sour cream wstf-
flea, for they are Uie best things I
ever tasted. I’ll sift the self-rising
flour while you get the cream and
eggs. You know I like to use self
rising flour because It is so easy
to use and always gives such good
result.*,”
Miss Martha didn’t try to explain
to the old darkey that it was the'
minerals used In the baking pow
der In self-rl.*lng flour that were so
irojiortant. She knew • that tho
leavening used In self-rising flour
was dC tlie highest quality and
waa composed of mono-calcium
phosphate and soda, and that tbd
ealclnm and phosphorus were two
of the minerals apt to be lacking
in the diet and very important In
the body.
As MKss Martha talked, she beat
the egg yolk.*, added the sour
cream, the sifted flour, and tho
melted shortening. The next thing
she did was fold in the beaten egg
whites. The batter was a little too
stiff so she added 2 toblespoons
of mllk^ Tho amount or|at should
