 WHAT THE D. A. R. HAS
 DONE FOR AMERICA.
 Thirty-three years ago in Wash
 lngton city. eighteen of the most
 patriotic women of our country
 gathered. From this little band
 originated our Daughters of the
 American Revolution. For several
 years the more farsighted patriots
 had realized that unless something
 were done, the glorious records and
 the historic spots of our country
 would fade from the memory of inc
 rising generation. The b. A. R. wac
 the answer to this need. Composed
 or the direct descendants of
 heroes of the Revolution, it has sine. | stood for the remembrance or m,
 finest and best things in American l life. ''''
 What good have the Daughters of

pose you were boy of II, and you
were required to spend some time with
an older brother in very big and
very formal house, largely cut off
from all the world and from your
own particular gang"
What would be the on thing that
could make life endurable for both
of you?
a radio set, Of course.
Since coming TO the White House
n few days ago, the Coolidge boys,
John and Calvin have been raptly
interested in their radio set.
Straps Of information about the
japanese disaster have ben waited
TO them over the ether waves and
they have known of many of the tragic
incidents long before the news appear
cd on the streets.
Without the radio set and the NOV
ing picture machine life Mt the White
House would be a pretty tame affair
for two healthy boys.
Spacious as the grounds are. there
is not the same freedom for youngsters
as there was in the little North
hampton house where ones comings

Sightseeing" in the stately old
mansion was accomplished in a day or
two.
Sleeping in the same bed in which
Abraham Lincoln slept. bathing in the
large tub especially constructed for
the genial Mr.. Taft was fun that
rather palled after a while.
IT was good to see mother and dad
again and TO have the same old long
talks and music in the evening.
But during the day dad snends all
of his time in the executive offices and
mother is up to her ears in work with
her secretary.
Indor Sports Pail.
John tried little tennis on the
White House courts with Haley. the
secret service man, and both the boys
have played billiards TO while away
the lonely hours.
For it is not desired that they leave
the White House much and when they
do secret service man is at thei,
heels.
SO far they have had no guests Of
their own age.
Maybe Woodrow Wilson liked this
sort of isolation for himself. If mo-

That was when this sort of soda
had just become the rage.
The proprietor became quite dis
turbed over it and tactfully suggested
that he would be willing to send over
soda whenever she felt in the need
of one.
The young First Lady thought over
the rronrieties then and ever after
sedately slipped her soda in the White
House.

doubt he would like to spend it on
a party for some of his friends.
But no, the parental edict is that
there are TO be no parties at the
White House for the Coolidge boys.
Father and Mother Coolidge are so
afraid that they might spoil their
sons.
Mrs. Coolidge when she was just
the wife of the vice president. was
wont to say that she thought Wash
ington was a bad place for boys in
official families and that was the rea-
son she sent her boys off to school.
She meant that so much attention
was paid to young boys, so many par
ties were given in their honor, that
this strenuous social life for boys
still in their teens was apt to dis
tract their attention from their school
work.
During their visit to Washington
in vacation time, Mrs. Coolidge ar
ranged schedule of sightseeing,
reading and long talks combined with
wholesome fun and good times.
Before President Coolidge ; became
the very busy man he is today, he and
Mrs. Coolidge used TO enjoy many
hours of hiking and other outdoor
pleasures with the lads.
Mrs. Coolidge is an adept in all of
their sports, good skater, swimmer
and tennis player and the boys and
their friends welcome here with de-

mother. set in well-shaped head,

sible. When packing becomes worn, a
twist Of the knurled mob tightens it imme-
diately-there are no threads or distractions
to interfere. 1t never pays the plumber to
make a call to fix a leaky stufing box because
whatever charge is made is considered ex-

eliminates stufing box service. Note how
