WASHINGTON, Aug. A. Three
grave problems faced Calvin Coolidge
as he took over the duties of the
soth president of the United States
today.
1. The international situation
with European conditions generally
believed growing steadily worse what
will the United States do to stave off
final crash?
2. Domestic affairs-To continue
and complete the task begun by
President Harding of setting Amer
iea's own house in order after the
great dislocation of the war.
3. The political situation-with an
open season for all presidential cam
didates now foreseen as the result Of
Mr.. Harding's death.
The international situation is de-
scl.ibcd by officials and diplomats as
the most serious since 1914.
Coolidge comes into office with
every nation interested in the pres
ent European crisis, looking TO the
United States for aid or guidance:
every foreign chanoellory is wonder
inE-whst effect the ascendancy to the
presidency of Calvin Coolidge will
have on American foreign policy.
One OF the most serious situations
facing Coolidge is the Ruhr and rep

touches we should say of school
spirit they can easily become. The
Cony red is carried out in the beads
Of various sizes and shapes. Then
there are hose of that pretty shade,
which terminate in stripes and finally
end of pure white. There are those
now very popular ribbon sashes in
shiny white silk, beginning with
rosette and ending in streamers.
The background of the window dis

grey silks, yard goods, outlined in

shades. and here is the secret of it all
