PLYMOUTH, VT. August with
the little white farmhouse where
Col. John Coolidge lives now a well
established tourists camp, the father
of the President has been forced TO
arise a o'clock in the morning re-
Gently to get in full days work
before the hundreds Of visitors, who
come here daily arrive. He carries
on his haying with an old-fashioned
scythe which he swings himself.
Today on the eve of the anniver-
sary of Calvin coolidge's iauguration
at the farmhouse a year ago. his
father went to the grave in the little
hillside cemetery, where Calvin
Coolidge. jr., was laid away this
Summer. He laid fresh spruce boughs
beside the mound and on 1t placed
some wild flowers he had gathered.
Plans to have q fagpole placed to-
day in front of the schoolhouse
which the President attended have
been held up by the delay in trans
porting the pole here and it is
thought now that the date may be
set for August II, the day on which
the President will be formally noti-
fed Of his nomination for the Presi-
dency by the Republican party. On
that day, the home town club will
raise a Coolidge-Dawes banner near

Gray Shaw, professor of philosophy.
in a talk today before the summer

The disappearance of laughter from
the world will be caused by the
spread of learning, DR.. Shaw said
He argued that in a distant day man
will know too much to laugh, Just as
primitive men knew too little to
smile.
Men no longer laugh at things they
used to laugh at, DR.. Shaw pointed
out. Among the things which laugh
ter now passes by, he said, are old
maids, bobbed hair, matrimony and
the drunken man.

we keep up a dying laughter by an
appeal to bananas and fiivvers," said

are no longer funny and we have to
substitute a makeshift by laughing

while the opposition is calling on
the Fascist to march about with

selves. The recent crisis was useful,
because it clearly showed who Fas-
