[[File:Herbert Hoover and King Tut.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Hoover with his German Shepard, King Tut]]
Bored with making money, the Quaker side of Hoover yearned to be of service to others. When [[World War I]] started in August 1914, he helped organize the return home of 120,000 American tourists and businessmen from Europe. Hoover led five hundred volunteers to distribute food, clothing, steamship tickets and cash. "I did not realize it at the moment, but on August 3, [[1914]] my engineering career was over forever. I was on the slippery road of public life." {{dictatorship-democracy-Hoover}}
