truth in the report that it was started
by the New England Journalists"
1t is true that these journalists have
taken very fatherly interest in
Gal" since the cobbler up in Mass
achusetts helped to make him PreSi-
dent, for he is the first New England
man to occupy the White House in
40 years, but the applause came from
all the correspondents alike and was
a tribute of which the new President
is proud.
The applause was not due so much
to what Mr.. Coolidge said, but to the
manner in which he said it. 1t seemed
to the writer it was due also to the
happy discovery that silent and taci-
turn though he may be, the President
has dry sense of humorswhich is
most pleasing attribute. From a man
of extreme reserve, few light words
carry very decided kick. Mr.. Coo
lidge gave the correspondents kick"
and their reaction was all but in
Simultaneous.
In : delightful vein of humor, Presi-
dent Coolidge told OF how the mis-
sion of the secretary of labor. Mr..
Davis, to Europe had been misunder-
stood By the European governments

what a great calamity it would have
been to the country if the dome (
the capitol had tuinbled in during the
funeral services Of the late President
Harding.
1t was suggested that the whole hui
man fabric Of national government
might have been wiped out by such a
blow-the President, tn cabinet. the
Supreme Couyt, the governors Of many
states, the high officers of Amy and

eminent officials of high and low
ranks, to say nothing of a very large
representation from the foreign diplo-
matte corps.
The country would have been para
lyzed," said the governors tete-a-tete

The country would have gone on"
said Governor Pinchot. "a man would
have risen to take the place of every
man destroyed. No man is indispensa-

Warren Harding had faith in the
presidency, Calvin Coolidge has faith

sets.
Many interpretations have been
placed upon the applause which
greeted President Coolidge at the con-
elusion of his first interview with the
great body of Washington newspaper
correspondents at the White House.
The country at large seems surprised
that the "hard-boiled' mel of the news
should have been moved TO such spon-
taneous tribute for the correspondent

usual run of emotions.
Probably the most SURPRISED of all
were the correspondents themselves.

LONDON FOGS INCREASE
 ALL MORTALITY RATES

LONDON. Jan. 10.-The recent fogs which have prevailed in and around London are responsible not only for greatly increased expenditure for lighting, but have caused more than the >tSual amount of sickness and suffering to the population.
 This is set forth by medical ex- perts, who quote statistics to show that for the week ended November 9 the death rate in London was 14.3 per 1000 against a death rate for the whole of England and Wales of 12.6 per 1000. Deaths from bron- chitis and broncho-pneumoni rose to 23S from the previous weeks figure of 182. This rise, which is prin- cipally among children, is ascribed to weather conditions, to the dark ness and irritation of the London fogs.

"DON'T TELL EVERYTHING" IS FINE COMEDY

The spirit of the outdoors is evi- dent in Don't Tell Everything" ]" which was the attraction last night the last time. It is Paramount picture and produced with the usual excellence that characterizes these offerings. The notable thing, of course, is the combination of Wallace Reid Gloria Swanson and Elliott Dexter in the picture which in itself is superior attraction. But when there is q breezy story, a tangle of fabrications and a lot of good sitll- ations enlivened by real acting-it becomes of added interest Sam Wood directed, Lorna Moon wrote and A. s. Levino adapted the story. It has to do with two women who love the same man, a self sacrificing friend who loves one of the women and who helps his friend to win her even against his own chances of happiness. There is a spirited polo game and realistic accident during its progress. It is a real picture with real people in it, and it is hand somely staged.
 The story is about town girl and a woodsey girl-a sportive young man and his philosophical friend. They are all entangled in a love situation which results in mix-ups that keep the spectator wondering how it can come out right.

from Bristol Bay. This is without surveys except in Nushagak Bay and Kuskokwim Bay and River. Both of these have recent surveys, but, as the bottom is subject to change on account of the large river, future ad ditlonal surveys will be needed. As an example of what surveys mean in new region. the discovery of an entrance to the Kuskokwim River suitable for Nmoderate-draft vessels opened up an immense area for grazing and also in places for gem eral agriculture.
 Morton Sound The importance of Norton Sound Is due to the gold mining on its northern shores and as being the outlet of the Yukon Delta Norton Sound additional surveys are needed It is curious that in this sound, which according to all avail able information is of quite level, sandy, or muddy bottom, Besboro Island rises very abruptly to a height of 1,012 feet.

PLAYERS UNION
 IS NOT EXCITING
 PILOT OF GIANTS

NEW YOlI1, Jan. i3.-John Me Graw, vice president and manager Of the Giants, champions of the world, is not becoming alarmed over the proposed union of major leaghe play CTS.
 'In the last 20 years" says he, there haven't been five players who really went through with their threat to stay out of baseball unless their salary demands were met l doubt if the players union seriously con siders any such move.
 eff the union wants to do some thing worth while, let it raise a fund for impoverished players. Some very pathetic cases have been brought to my attention. Many old-time stars have been discovered without a pen ny to their names. Let the union take its dues and devote the money to this cause instead of spending 1t for high salaries for the organizers and delegates. The major leagues will help, and many thousands of dollars could be raised by an old timers benefit game once year.
 "As far as Frisch is concerned, it amounts to nothing that one of my players is either member or an officer of the union. AS far as can see. that is of no importance at all. If the players want to join, that is their own business"
