This Is the question which no one
has thus far solved for Gov. Calvin
Coolidge, the Vice President-elect
Talk that Mr.. Coolidge may rent
apartments in the highly fashionable
New Embassy Building, sixteenth
street, is said by his friends up
Boston way to be absurd.
1t may be taken for granted. they
assert. that the new Vice President
and Mrs. Coolidge will be quite mod.
est in their selection of house or
apartments.
Meantime, looms the question OF
whether Congress will buy home
for the Vice President.
This, 1t seems. is not one-sid,
proposition. While some prominc
members of Congress have ADVOCATED
It, there Is bitter opposition, based
on the idea that on all hands there
Is call for economy and cutting
down of expenditures and the Rcpub-
lican party is committed to economy
in the most emphatic terms.

Pastor Of Church of Our Father

The nrst Pilgrim Thanksgiving
was celebrated 900 years ago. After
the harvest was gathered two mon

required for a week OF feasting for
ffty-three white people and ninety
hungry Indians who came as
guests.
II we were equally independent
Of the beef trust now. who would
not give thanks?
For twenty years Thanksgiving
Day was celebrated untroubled by
religious observance. 1t was a lay
when a necessarily abstemious peo-
pie might indulge In the vice OF
gluttony untroubled by conscience.
and this characteristic OF the day
has never wholly disappeared.
The custom OF mixing pleasure
and religion became general about
1850. and was the contribution IF
Connecticut a State whose founda-
tions were laid deep in piety. In
the early days a boy brought up on
the catechism In Connecticut moved
to Rhode Island. When asked what
State he lived in. he replied "A
State OF sin and wickedness."
Sin and wickedness and too much
religion of the wrong kind arc usu-
ally found together.
The Pilgrim Fathers were relig-
ious. but not too religious to enjoy
life. They ate heartily and drank
deeply of Dutch beer.
1t Is not popular to say II, but
it's a fact none the less that the
most valuable ideas the Pilgrims
brought to the New World they
learned from their twelve years
residence in Holland. All their
ideas of democracy were Dutch,
and II their beer was Mt to drink,
that was Dutch. too. English ale
like English character. is strong
but unpleasant.

Thanksgiving at Beginning Dot
Religious GeaSt

The FIRST Thanksgiving In which
worship had part was the result
of a drought-prayers for rain,
and a saving shower shortly after.
The Pilgrims were anything but
modest. They had no doubt that
the alI-seeing Eye OF the Infinite
noted their every act. II they were
sick II was a just punishment for
their sins. II they died II was be-
cause they were needed somewhere
else. II they had a good harvest
IL was the reward OF good conduct
and the prayers OF the faithful.
The Pilgrims prayed In faith. be-
ieving of them once asked
for rain as follows: 20. Lord. we
beseech Thee to send US rain. but
let IL not come down In bucketfuls
TO inundate our fields. sweep away
our haycocks and destroy our prop
erty, but let II come drizzle-
drozzle, drizzle-drozzle for about a
week. Amen"
Believing in special providence.
Public Thanksgiving and prayer
was a logical return for a good
harvest. The human race Is like
the child. more grateful for a holi-
day or a stick of candy than for the
house which shelters, the food
which nourishes and the love which
protects. Belief i'm special Provi-
dence is gone for all who have
brains and most OF those who have
not But gratitude to the all en-
bracing Providence that gave MS
life, and the world and all the
countless good it contains ought
to be greater now than ever before.
Famine. sorrow and misery fin the
world today. but the cause is not
the forgetfulness OF God but the
imbecility and wickedness of men.
The last five years have made II
clear that. even God cannot help a
race that will not obey Him. II for
Just twenty-five years men and
women would be decent and sensi-
BILE and friendly and half Christian
every day might be Thanksgiving
Day for everybody everywhere.

City Club Urges Income Exemp.

Shortage Relief.

Exemption Of real estate mort
cages from income taxes for fve
years. encouragement Of economy and
thrift, and avoidance of any remedial
legislation that would tend to dis.
courage building enterprises. were
urged by the housing group Of the
City Club. at a meeting last night at
the clubhouse, as means of bringing
relief to the serious hou/ing situa-
ton in Washington.
While the recomme ndations were
mado with particular reference to
conditions in the District, they ar.
just as applicable to the housing sit
uation throughout the country, men,
bers of he group pointed out
The program adopted last night
was based on tentative resolution
introduced at the previous meeting
by John l.. Weaver. former president
Of the National Real Estate Brokers
Association, who has made a study
Of housing conditions throughout the
cuntry.
The only important change in the
finally adopted program was the
elimination of a recomme n dalton that
salaries Of Government employees be
increased to enable them to pay mod
ern rentals and meet inreased living
costs. While every member Of the
group present heartily favored the
recommendation, 1t was felt that som.
members of Congress might get the
false impression that the higher sala-
ries were sought merely as real
estate exploitation scheme.
1t is expected, however. that after
the rincipal program has been pre-
scented to Congress and its adoption
urged, the group will adopt supple
mentary resolution urging higher
salaries for the employees.
