WOULD ESTABLISH
HOSPITALITY HOUSE
Miss Gary Interests Brattleboro People
and Committee Is Appointed to
Consider the Project.

A synopsis of the work of the blue tri-
angle hospitality house in Burlington was
given by Miss Marion Gary of Rutland,
field secretary of the Vermont council, Y
w. C. A., in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms Yesterday afternoon before business
and professional men and women with a
view to interesting Brattleboro citizens in
the establishment Of similar house here,
and committee was appointed to inves-
tigate the proposition.
Miss Gary gave a history of the Burling-
ton house. which was the outgrowth of
the Protective Girls League. The use
of house, which had been given free of
rental to the Y NJ c. A., was turned over
to the Y. w C. A. 1t consisted of large
and small parloF and other rooms on the
main floor, including cafeteria, and
sleeping accommodations upstairs for 10
business girls The management was
placed in the hands of group of nine
directors, each of whom wss the chairman
of a committee, the committees consisting
of cafeteria, rooms, room registration, re-
creation, social activities, ecc.
While the rooms and parlors are de-
voted exclusively to the use of business
girls, the cafeteria Is open to all and
more than 200 persons are accommodated
daily. I25 or more dinners and 10 or more
suppers being served. When the house
was opened plans were lald Tor feeding
100 persons daily and at the present time
the question Of enlargng the facilities IS
under consideration. Meals are furnished
at reasonable sum and many OF the
townspeople take advantage of the cafe
terra.
The project was started by raising s4,-
roo 4oI for nh
ING fund and the balance to be used IN
securing furnishings and the money was
raised through a system of active, aso-
ciate and honorary memberships. The
monthly budget is about 5000 and one
month the expenses were about $500 less
4han the receipts. 1t has been entirely
supporting since it started December l,
last.
The staff consists of seven or eight
psrsons. including janitor, director, as
sistant director, cook, assistant cook and
three other workers in the kitchen and 1t
i the expectation that a recreation sec
retarv or director will be taken on next
year.
Following the talk and general dis
eussion the committee was appointed and
consisted Of r. H. Crane. G. S. Hopkins,
/ Mrs. c. G. Fits. Mrs. w. b. Smith and
! Mrs. J c. Dewitt. This committee was
instructed to confer with the rest room
management to see whether they would
be willing to merge their work with the
larger project and then investigate the pos
sibiiity Of putting the proposition across n'
to expenses and finally to report to meet
/ ing to be called later.
It may be found best to work on
plans for this project in connection Will
the proposed community memorial build

Distinguished Vermonter
Pleased With Honor

GREAT DAY FOR
PLYMOUTH TOWN
Nominee for Vice President Makes
Short Address and He and His
Charming Wife Grasp Each Visitor
by Hand-Mouie Men Present.

Perhaps the biggest day in the his
tory of the town of Plymouth, the
birthplace of Gov. Calvin Coolidge of
Massachusetts, was yesterday, when
about 5000 persons, including the gov
ernor, lieutenant governor and many
state officials, gathered to pay tribute
to Vermont's distinguished son who has
been nominated by the Republicans for
vice president of the United States.
Motor cars, carriages and "Shanks S
mare = brought the townsmen and state
admirers of Governor Coolidge in hun
dreds, the road, the yard before the
Coolidge homestead and every available
spot being blocked with vehicles, fully
400 motor cars passing over the noun
tain roads to do honor to Vermont q
favorite SON.
Reporters, photographers, motion
picture men and special representatives
of big city newspapers and press
agencies were present and after Gov
ernor Coolidge's brief remarks the peo-
pie fingered for almost an hour, greet
ing their old townsman and distin-
guished citizens. The band played, the
picture machines ground out their grist
of movie material. "Old Glory" waved
| on the town house and a sun of true
midsummer splendor added the final
touch to the big event .
1t was something of a political gath
ering, Congressman Porter II. Dale and
Ernest w. Gibson following each 9TH
er's moves thoughtfnlly, while a
thoughtful picture man grouped Candi-
| dates-for Governor Emery, Hartness
| Agan and Babbitt together and secured
a characteristic picture amid storms of
ehaff and many fairly well-worn po-
| litical jests.
| Among the "stunts'' of the picture
men was the posing of Daniel McGuin,
four foot high dwarf, 4S years old
and farmland in Plymouth, alongside
| the imposing feet and inches of Gov
ernor Coolidge. The little fellow and
1 the big fellow entered into the spirit
/ of the occasion with considerable
laughter and applause from the spec
tators.
John C. Coolidge, father of Governor
| Coolidge, was the host of the occasion,
| looking hale and hearty, despite his
years. Harding o. Coolidge of Rut-
land, formerly of Brattleboro, a rela- :
tive of the candidate, who combines
two great names in his own, fell in
with the Coolidge clan in the parade,
which was feature of the preliminary
4 jollifcation.

house, one of the features thereof be-

HARDING'S SPEECH TO
TOUCH ALL ISSUES
Will Make 1t Real Keynote of Republi-
can Campaign-Does Not Fear
Farmer-Labor Party.

MARION. o., July 16.-Senator
Harding kept hard at work today on
his speech accepting the Republican
nomination for President Although
the address is not to be delivered until
next Thursday at the formal notifica
tion ceremonies here he received few
callers and devoted virtually all of his
time to the manuscript in the hope of
completing it by tomorrow night.
AS an Interpretation of the Chicago
platform the acceptance speech is ex-
pected to be the real keynote of the Re-
publican campaign. The candidate,
therefore, is taking great care to make
certain that it touches comprehenslVely
on all the important issues and lays a
broad basis for the party's fight for
popular support.
In his declaration yesterday regard
ing the new FarmerLabor party some
of the senator's friends saw an indlca-
tion that the Republican attitude to-
ward the farmer and laborer might
come in for particular attention in the
notification day speech. The candidate
himself has revealed none of his inten-
tions regarding the speech but he ex-
pressed confidence yesterday that the
Republican platform would be found
progressive enough to command the
support of both the farming and labor
ing classes.
DE expressed perfect confidence that
the third party movement will make
no serious inroads on Republican
strength and indicated the outcome
would in no way affect his campaign

FRESH AIR KIDDIES
TO BE SENT HERE
Persons Willing to Care for One or More
Asked to Notify Mrs. H. A. Wood.
by Telephone at Once.

Although no local committee has been
secured to have charge of arrangements
for caring for fresh air children from
New York for two weeks early in Au-
gust, plans have progressed sufficiently
so that those who are willing to care for
one or more of the children should notify
Mrs. II. A. Wood by telephone, stating
how many children can be accommodated.
The children, all of whom are from the
tenement districts in New York and
Brooklyn, range in age from 5 to IL
years Thorough medical examinations
are given each child the day before leav
ing for the country, and one of the re-
quirements is that the tenement house
where the child lives had been free from
communicable disease for two weeks pre-
ceding.
Miss Lena Hamilton, who is making
her headquarters in Brattleboro while
rounding towns for the Tribune Fresh
Air Fund states that's it is the aim of
the fund to care for $4,000 children dur
ing the season. OF this number about
5000 can be cared for in the funds IL
camps and farms in New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and Massachusetts,, and
MONIES III the country must De opened TO
1000 more if the goal is reached
Several years ago many Brattleboro
homes were opened to care for children
from the cities, but this has not been
done for II or Is years. The appeal has
returned and those willing to take chill
dren are urged to telephone to Mrs Wood
at once in order that arrangements can
be completed as rapidly as possible for
the contingent which will be sent into
this section early in August.

CHICAGO, July l6.-Wheat underwent
a sensational break in price today. The
market opened all the way from unchanged
figures to 100 lower and soon was down

Der, the principal speculative delivery. The
big tumble in values was attributed more
r. the lack of buying orders than to any
great pressure to sell.

SPA, Belgium, July l6. ASSOCIATED
Press. The German delegation at the
conference here sent word to the supreme
council this morning that the German re-
ply to the allied ultimatum on coal de-
liveries would not be ready before o'clock
this afternoon. The Germans are ex-
pected to ask modification of the terms.
The reply was due at IL o'clock this morn
ing. #.. ..
From what could be learned during the
morning the thing that is standing in the
way of acceptance by the Germans OF
the allied terms was the clause providing
for occupation Of the Ruhr valley unless
the coal deliveries reached a total Of g.
100000 tons by Oct. 10. DIR. Walter II
mons, the German foreign minister, told
his colleagues when they met to confer
over the allied conditions, that this sub
iect had not been mentioned during has
conversation with Premiers Lloyd George
and NIillerand yesterday, when verbal
agreement was virtually reached.
The Germans, it appears, were greatly
annoyed to find it in the text OF tde
terms handed them last night.
