Turning aside from the cares
Of state, President Coolidge today
solemnly awaited the arrival here
of the Harding funeral train with
its burden of national grief.
The President effaced himself,
dropped the mantle of magistracy
which fell upon him with Presi-
dent Harding's death, and as any
private citizen Joined the multi

Forced Into Conferences.
Although the President gave few
thoughts to his new Administra-
ton, an army of political leaders,
Cabinet members and bureau eXecu-
tives called upon him in the tempo
rary White House" at the Willard
Hotel. The business of govern
mcnt, while subordinated to the
overwhelming griefs that has seized
the Nations Capital, forced the
President into a number of con-
ferences during the long wait.
But the Presidents heart was not
in his work. The heavy lines about
his eyes. the twitching of lips and
the tension of waiting on the re-
turn of his beloved chief-Warren
@. Harding. He arose early-at
o'clock-breakfasted with Mrs.
Coolidge, and then. while news.

Thousands of store clerks and

FLORIDA PREPARING

By the first of January, year ago,
over 100000 motor cars had passed

that close to twice that number will
have entered the sunshine state by
the end OF December.

in the world reside in the territory of
the Southern Baptist Convention, ac-
cording to survey that has just been
completed by DR.. E. P Alldredye, sec
rotary of survey and statistics, of the
Baptist Sunday school board.
The total Baptist strength of the
world is approximately 100000 and
of this number 6,476,759 reside in the
south.
This indicates that there is one
Baptist to every ST. persons of all
ages in the south, making of this sec
ton the Baptist stronghold of the
world, as little more than half the
Baptists in existence reside south of
the Mason and Dixon line.
The total Baptist strength for the
various states embraced in the terri
tory of the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton was found to be as follows: Ala
bama, 522,717; Arkansas, 258,676;
District of Columbia, 1901 Florida,
169845; Georgia, o97,671; southern
Illinois (the only section of the state

PLAN AUTOMOBILE
ROAD ACROSS SEA
ENGINEERS TO BUILD HIGH
WAY FROM KEY WEST TO
FLORIDA. IS POSSIBLE.

The dream of an automobile road
from Key West to the mainland OF
Florida, a great part of it over deep
water on route that will carry a
motorist nearly out of sight of land,
has materialized.
The road will be built from funds
obtained by 100000 bond issue, re-
Gently approved by the voters of Mon
roe county, Fla, of which Key West
is the chief center of population,
Plan Unique Road.
The new road, according to pres
ent plans, will be the longest and
probably the only extensive automo-
bile road over the sea in the world.
The Gulf of Mexico will run on one
side and the Atlantic ocean on the
other
Bridges will be built between the
keys, or small islands, on piers reach
ing down into many feet of water.
Modern roads will be built on the
keys themselves. These links when
joined together will form first class
road from Key West to the mainland.
Plan Proved Possible.
That the plan is possible already
has been proved. A railroad line has
been built from the mainland to the
keys on virtually the same principle.
The road is built on viaducts and
steel trestles and is several hundred
miles long. For a score of miles the
rails are high over the water, with
land barely visible.

TO WEAR PURPLE,
WHITE AND GOLD
WOMEN PLAN TO ATTRACT
ATTENTION TO EQUAL
RIGHTS CAMPAIGN.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Purple,
white and gold costumes, worn by
members of the national woman's par
ty, soon will flood the streets not only
of Washington but of every city where
there is a branch of the organization.
Remember the Red Cross costume
and headdress worn by the war
workers? Well, the woman's party
plans to make its costume as unique
as that, thereby attracting attention
to their equal rights campaign.
But as was to be expected, tur-
MOL is being raised over the design.
The amplitudinouS members and the
slim sisters are at loggerheadS. Some
thing that will hide both curves and
angles is demanded The logical solu-
ton, it seems, would be straight lines.
But the artistic members want flow
ing lines-something Greeky.
THAT would be fine for a pageant,
cry the practical members. but who
would have the nerve to wear such
thing on the street? We must have
something tailored. "
"Tailored!" cry the idealists. bah
How can anything tailored express
the ideals of this organization?
Shown First November 18th.
A tentative pattern was shown
for the first time November 18th at
the memorial service here opening the
equal rights campaign. The costume,
as it has been evolved so far is a
modification of the cap and gown
worn by college students. Not quite
so voluminous, however. 1t has been
developed in nuns yelling, with the
insignia of the national woman's par
ty worked in the three colors, on the
band that covers the brow.
The gown may be made of silk, vel
vet or any other material, but velvet
is favored because of the rich folds
into which it naturally falls. A belt
will be worn loosely just below the
waistline. This design, it is believed,
will be becoming either to chubby
person like Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont,
president, or a slender woman like
Alice Paul, vice president of the ma
tional woman's party.

WRIGLEY co. VOTES
SO MILLION MELON
CHRISTMAS GIFT OF $4,000, 900
TO STOCKHOLDERS. IS Bill
LION PIECES GUM SOLD.

CHICAGO-Directors of the Will
liam Wrigley Jr. Company, chewing
gum manufacturers, today authorized
a stock melon of approximately $780,
100000 which will reach the stock
holders as a Christmas gift.
The remarkable growth of this in
dustry, which has erected two of Chi
cago's handsomest buildings and main
tanned other enterprises, leads to
speculation on how much gum must
be chewed to produce all this wealth.
Gross sales for this year are estimated
at $27,000,000. The figures are known
up to Nov /, and November and De
Cember are estimated.
Busy Jaws Make Big Demand.
Getting down to the gum itself,
there are twelve packages of five sticks
each to a box, and the sales for the
year will approximate 54,000,000 box
es, or 648,00G000 PACKAGES. Multiply
this by and you have the number
of sticks or "chews" over which the
shapely jaws of this and other coun-
tries are working industriously.
The Wrigley Company manufact-
ures four varieties of gum and chew
ing sweet, the latter being small cir
cular sweets, packed twelve to box.
In round numbers the output for the
year would be about 5,000,000,00
pieces, each of which, with the excep-
ton of the chewing sweets, is wrapp-
ed three times or more.
