Son of President
Coolidge Dies
After Five Days Fight Unable to
Resist Septic Poiscning

Washington, July 7th-Calvin Cool
idge, Jr., son of the president, died
tonight at Walter Reed hospital
of blood poisoning. The end came
after the boy had battled with the
utmost bravey and fortitude for
five days against disease which
had racked his body with pain and
sapped the reserve strength of his
frail constitution.
President and Mrs Coolidge, who
had maintained constant vigil at
the hospital here, were at his bed
side, hopeful, and cheering and
comforting their son to the last
The collapse began at $50 o'clock
and he gradually sank into eternity.
He died at 80 o'clock.
Every resource of medical sci
ence was brought into play in the
vain effort to save young Calvin s
life. An operation was performed
on the left leg last Saturday night
to drain off the poison, which had re-
suited from a blister following a
tennis game.
The natural strength of boy of
16, however, which was counted on
as the most powerful resisting force
to the creeping poison, was unable
to meet the issue, and after having
fought brave but always losing
fight he succumbed

Hundred Fifty-five
Operated On
Successful TonsiI and Adenoid Clinic
Completes Operations Friday

When it comes to health work Nc
Cone County heads the list of any
county in the state, record to be
proud off indeed.
Two years ago health nurse was
sent into McCone by the Montana
Anti-Tuberculosis Assn, to examine
the school children, and it was found
that large number of them, needed
operations for diseased tonsils and
adenoids AS a result of this exam
ination, two clinic were held last
year here at Circle, and approx
mately ITO boys and girls of the coun-
ty were operated upon.
Last month a nurse again visited
the county, and this year it was
found that over two hundred and
fifty children had bad tonsils or
adenoids, and consequently another
clinic was held here which just COM
pleted it's work last Friday.
At this years clinic one hundred
and fifty operations were performed
but many failed to show up.
The operations were performed by
DR.. Danskin of Glendive, assisted by
DR.. T. H. Hanbidge of this place.
Six nurses were also employed be-
sides a number of local people help
ed out.
The clinic was conducted at the
Circle High School building which
proved an ideal place for the pur-
pose.
The expense of the clinic is borne
by the county, owing to the financial
circumstances of many during the
present time, and the county board
is to be credited for having taken
such an active interest In this health
campaign. To help protect the health
of the growing generation, is COM
mendable work, and money well
spent.
The clinic was a decided success
all the operations turning out fine.
Other counties in the state could
do we'll to take similar action.

VETERAN PLEADS HIS
OWN CASE IN COURT
Once Common Laborer, Now Attor-
ney, Argues Before Highest
Tribunal.

Dewitt T. Law of Montana, who en-
listed in the Army as a common Ia
borer and came out minus an arm,
but entitled to the degree of bachelor
of law, appeared in the United States
Supreme Court yesterday and argued
his own suit against the Government
for permanent total disability pay
during the time he was unable to as
sumo the duties of a gainful occupa-
ton.
Law said that he enlisted in the
Army in 1917. He was then rated as
a common laborer. Wounded, 1t was
necessary for Army surgeons to am
putate one of Laws arms, making II
impossible for him to resume his for
mer vocation as a laborer when he
recovered from the operation.
Law contended that under the $1o,-
600 Government insurance policy he
took out he was entitled to perma-
nent total disability pay, being un-
able to resume his regular labors. but
the Veterans Bureau granted him
only temporary total disability pay.
Law Immediately began negotiation
for the full permanent pay, and, wh en-
it was denied, he entered the Univer-
sity of Montana Law School at the
expense of the Government He was
graduated with the degree Of bachelor
OF law and passed his bar examina-
ton.
Law entered suit in the District
Court of Montana for the payments
that had accrued under the perma-
nent disa bility clause Of his insur-
ance policy, dating them from the
time he was incapacitated until the
time he was restored to a gatnful
occupation, which occurred with his
graduation.
The Montana tribunal granted Law
q decision, emitting him to 1886
against the Government. The Gov
ernment appealed the case to the San
Francisco. Court of Appeals, how
ever where the decision was reversed,
and Law then took it to the United
States Supreme Court, There Law
argued his own case yesterday.
