Radio Set Keeps Coolidge Boys
From, Boredom, at White House

Suppose you were q boy of fifteen
and you were required to spend some
time with an older brother in a very
big and very formal house., largely
cut off from all the world and from
your own particular gang" what
would be the one thing that could
make life endurable for both of you ?
A radio set, of course.
Since coming to the White House
few days ago. the Coolidge boys,
John and Calvin. have been raptly
interested In their radio set. Scraps
OF Information about the Japanese
disaster have been waited to them
over the ether waves. and they have
known of many of the tragic Incl
dents long before the news appeared
on the streets
Without the radio set and the .mov-
ing picture machine life at the White
House would be 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 Northampton house.

awhile. 1t 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

offices and mother is up to. her ears in

Tennis and Billiards.
John tried a 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 1t is not
desired that they leave the White
House much, and when they do a
secret service man is at their heels.
So far they have had no guests Of
their own age. The Coolidge boys
would prefer to run down to the COR
ner drug store to say hello to the
fellows now and then.
But that isn't done when one is a
resident at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue
1t is recalled that this formal life
rather irked another young thing
who afterward became Mrs Cleve-
idnd. She was just twenty-five when
she came to the White House. She
got into the habit, 1T, is said. of flying
cut of the White House bareheaded

many hours of hiking and other out
door pleasures with the lads. Mrs
Coolidge is an adept In all of their
sports-a good skatcr. swimmer and
tennis player-and the boys and
their friends welcome her with de
light to their games.
John, the eldest, is quite tall. and
has inherited the sparkling eyes of
his mother. set in well shaped head
which he carries well. He is a good
student, especially in science, and
has an inventive turn of mind, which
is encouraged in every way by the
President and Mrs. Coolidge II this
continues he will probably be given a
technical education.
Calvin, the younger boy, is more OF
student, perhaps. But there Is
mischievous CLINT in his clear eyes
that promises a few pranks at the
White House later on.

HOGS REGISTER
SLIGHT DECLINE
Top, However, Remains at
S10-CattIe Weak.
Hog Prices Day by Day

Despite an advance in Chicago.
prices for hogs at the local live stock
exchange were generally slightly
lower today. The decline ar!ounted
to as much as a dime in spots, though
the top for selected lights remained
unchanged at SO. The decline locally
was attributed to heavy receipts of
1900, inclusive of $50 holdovers,
though shipping orders were in evil
dence, lending support to the belief
that the yards would be cleared. The
general price for light hogs was S9.75
$3.50; light mixed sold from 1850 o
1915, heavy mixed from $3.50 o SO 80
and heavyweights downward from
1925, only hogs weighing more than
800 pounds dropping below the SO
mark. The bulk of the days receipts
sold between $3.50 and $685.. Sows
registered a decline, selling downward
from IS to 81 for the light, and the
heavy variety, respectively.
The cattle market was quotably
steady to lower, only choice grades
finding a market at steady prices,
while medium and common classes
moved at slightly conces9ionary
prices. Including a large number of
stockers and feeders, the days re
ceipts were estimated at 1000, of
which about 1900 were butcher stock.
Active trading featured the calf
market, in which prices were quotably
strong with S13 having been paid for
choice veals. while the bulk moved
from S12 to $3.50. Receipts. 600.

COUNC|LMEN BEGIN
STUDY OF BUDGET
FOR 1924 EXPENSE

After reading the proposed budget
ordinance for 1924 for county expenses
estimated at $2,955,04 the county
council adjourned until a. M.
Wednesday, The budget will be finally
disposed of then.
Threats by John J. Griffith. county
engineer and surveyor, that his office
would have to close for the rest
of the year unless an additional 81 ,445
is appropriated caused an inquiry as
to why the item was not in the budget
as presented.
Pleas for a second county health
nurse, and testing for tuberculas
dairy COWS were made before the coun-
ell. The nurse will cost 1925 a month,
and the cow-tester $1,000 a year. it
was said.
The proposed budget is an increase
of approximately S1100,000 over the
amount set for 1923. The council
will consider special ordinances pro-
that it transfer $217 $50 from the gen.
eral fund for county expenses the rest
of the year and to build $4,000
coIored orphans home.
OF the money asked, 81 100000 VIII
go to pay interest and principal of
bonded debt.
Only 1861 900 Of the amount asked
Will be raised by taxation. according
to County Auditor Leo X. Fesler, who
said he thought a tax rate of twenty
one cents on the 800 taxable valuation
would be sufficient. This would be
decrease of five cents.
Balances in funds, fees from offices
of the county prosecutor, sheriff, treas
urer, clerk and recorder, and interest
on funds will provide the rest of the
money, Fesler estimated.
