Secretary of Everything Else
Herbert Hoaver, bom on August 10, 1874, had served
in the Cabinet under both Harding and Coolidge,
becoming known not only as Secretary of
Commerce but also as “Assistant Secretary of
Everything Else.” A recognized hard-worker and reli
gious Quaker, Hoover had distinguished himself by
organizing worldwide efforts for hunger victims during
World War 1, when he served as the American Food
Administrator. Unfortunately, he was only eight months
into his own term of presidency when the stock market
crashed. Thenceforth, he became known for the
Hoovemlles (shanty towns), Hoover blankets (newspa
pers), and Hoover flags (empty pockets) that sprang up.
