President Coolidge faces the
crisis Of his political career in
fine physical shape. he weighs
153 pounds, as much as he ever
weighed in his life. He is tall
and square-"the lean horse in
the long race" His hay fever
is gone, thanks to his patient
addiction to DIR. Coupal's treat
ment. A Connecticut avenue
throat specialist occasionally
sprays his throat against the sub
conscious laryngitis, and the
President is today on the top Of
the world, notwithstanding the
best efforts Of the pestiferous
handshakers.
Improved By ArdOr.
While far from being a power
full man physically, he has an i'm
usual store of nervous energy
which enables him to make q quick
comeback when exhausted. The
sudden change from the inactivity
of Vice President to the arduous
responsibility Of being President
has improved his physical condi.

days in a campaign to break

touring there. He was asked:

is netting. Harding is campaign

my mind and fan to agree with
something he is saying, the Demo
cratic papers viii Immediately say
we are in a row. I am tired Of
talking mere platitudes."
That day he did deliver his own
mind. He made the speech in
which he said we should not cancel
the foreign debt; that Europe must

America has got any money to give
away, let America give it to Ameri.

twenty-four hours in that section
of Kentucky and North Carolina,
where the people are said to be
about SO per cent native stock, was
enough to convince him that folks
down there didn't want the League
of Nations.

ILL EFFECT OF "SMALL TALK"

There is greater nerve strain in
keeping up conversation of small talk

Is among the foremost of British
women physicians and is famous for
her works on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. In
n lecture ut the Institute of Hygiene
On THE Dangers of Society to
Health" she added, according to the
New York World.
Society girls have their brains and
mental equipment adjusted TO this
level of scrappy EXPLANATIONS early in
life and it spoils their subsequent de-
velopment and their capacity to reach
better stage Of intellectual growth.
Society life encourages the per-
nicious habit of the too-frequent ciga-
rette. 1t encourages girls to take
cocktails and whisky-and-sodas.
1.-The hectic life of continual excite
ment. the absence of all repose. all
time for meditation, the perpetual
change, the cigarette smoking, irregu-
lar and unhealthy meals--no wonder
these girls become the prey of dis

practically all the comment on

merit from the position of first
assistant postmaster general to
be the head of the department.
He has had two years expert

ing chiefly that the department
be kept as free as possible from
politics. The selection of post
masters. he says. should no long

the postofiice department alone.
Making a cabinet shift by
which this experienced postmas-

making good in a big and diff

smaller activity naturally causes

Tears were streaming down her
cheeks. To stop her weeping he of
fered her a penny. 1t worked-for a
moment-then tears came again. This
happened repeatedly until Margaret
had obtained about ten pennies. two
nickels and a dime. When Margaret
found out the poHeeman's change had
been exhausted the crying stopped and
she requested to be taken home in an
automobile. At that Margaret wasn't

policeman the same arts she practiced

WINNING CHINESE TRADE

discovered the secret American
business men are seeking in their
confessedly slow effort to intro

Chinese.
The Great Wall OF China has
its iigurative parallel in the
Chinese isolation. The Chinese
have been self-suStaining for
centuries because they compel
their habits to meet their re-
sources. The Western world
goes out to seek resources to feed
its habits and desires: the Chi
nese do not. That is WHY Chi

China and Chinese life. At bot
tom this rests on confidence. The
Chinese yield confidence SLOWLY.
withdraw it once given only
when it is betrayed. and once be-
trayed never give it again.
1t is simple. almost primitive
code-perhaps the result of being
shielded from Western contact
by the Chinese Wall of self-con-
tainment. But be the reason
what It may. that IS the code of
China; 1t IS a code that invites
the attention al merchants and
manufacturers not afraid to test
their wares and in time. SLOWLY
but surely, rewards the business

SOON TO BE RE-OPENED

A good-sized clock in the center of
the space above the stage assures
theatre-goers the convenience of
knowing the exact time whenever
they wish without the bothersome ne
cessity of taking out their watches
during the show.
In the way of ventilation the public
is assured of comfort at all times. the
six first floor exits and the balcony
exit being augmented by a system of
ventilators installed in the ceiling.
From the standpoint of safety. also,
the new theatre will be all that could
