GOTHAM GREETING
PLEASES COOLIDGE
President, Back After Day of
Strenuous Activity, Shows
WEAKNESS.

President Coolidge today showed
Ill effects from his journey to and
from New York and the long speech
he made last night at the Lincoln
day celebration of the National Re
publican Club. Although the presi-
Dental party. arrived in Washington
shortly after o'clock this morning
and the President and Mrs. Coolidge
utes later, the President did not go
to the executive Office until 1890.
To those with whom the President
talked regarding his reception In New
York and the manner In which his
speech was greeted Mr.. Coolidge made
no effort to conceal his appreciation
and delight. He also expressed pleas
ure in the realization that by means
OF tho radio broadcasting SO many
people throughout the land were
given an opportunity to hear his
memorial address.
Presidents First Caller.
The Presidents first caller today
was Sir Edward Penlon, president of
the British Association of Shoemen,
who has been travelling in this~coun-
try for more than three weeks and
who has visited a number of shoe
which were in New England. Sir
Edward said afterwards that his call
was merely for the purpose of ex-
tending greetings to the President.
When asked regarding the political
situation in England, Sir Edward
stated that the recent election signi-
fed the complete return to parlia-
mentary government. The Baldwin
government, he explained, agreed at
the imperial conference last summer
to adopt q tariff policy for England.
and thought it would only have to
have it ratified. The defeat IF this
proposal. however, showed clearly,
according to Sir. Edward, that Great
Britain is determined to have it's
legislation done by parliament and
not by one party group.
Confers on Immigration Bill.
President Coolidge today. conferred
Tor more than half an hour with Rep
resentative Albert Johnson Of Wash
tngton, chairman of the House COM
nittee on immigration, during which
time he questioned the latter regard
ing the progress being made by that
committee in preparing for the time
when the House will be ready to take
UP immigration Legislation. Repre-
sentative johnson said he expects the
discussion of Muscle Shoals, which
he understands Is to follow directly
after the disposal of tax reduction.
Roast 'possum is to feature the
menu arranged for the White House
dinner tomorrow night. Several times
recently the President has expressed
A wish for a 'possum dinner. and it
was Thomas Roach. one of the White
House buffers, who has made it pos
sibIe. The latter communicated with
friend, cambridge Epps, OF Natural
Bridge. Va and today the latter
brought to the White House kitchen
q alfgrown live 'possunl, which will
grace the presidential table tomorrow
night.
c. Bascom Slemp, secretary to the
President, who accompanied him to
New York yesterday, remained in that
city to attend to some personal af-
fairs and to confer with some of the
republican leaders. 1t is expected he
will return to Washington tomorrow.

ROdeO Indians Visit
ParcO-Stage Dance

P~arcoites not too busily engaged
eating their MONDAY meals last
Tuesday were aware of one of the
most unique party of visitors ever
TO call at a refinery town.
More than forty Indians, just ar
rived in Rawlins to take part in
the Rawlins R0deo, paid a brief
visit to the p. and r. town and. while
here, staged a heap-big war dance
for the benefit of the pale(?) face
refinery workers. The Indians stag
ed their war dance on the roomy floor
at the Parco Motors Company and
the ceremony was witnessed by a
large number of Parco citizens.
While at Parco the Rodeo Indians
were guests of honor at a luncheon

Republican tariff policy because
those figures completely refute the
ideas which the Journal would in
culcate. 1t contents itself now with
dubious shaking of the head and an
attitude toward the tariff much like
hat Of old Sammy Weller toward
the species indicated by his oft
repeated admonition: Beware of vid-
ders!' In a recent editorial the
journal says:
There are two problems that face
US with regard to our export trade,
or, at all events, two of such out
standing Importance as to overshad-
ow all others. One of them is how
are we to continue to be paid for
eve the volume of exports that we
have been sending abroad, and the
other is how can We expand foreign
markets sufficiently to keep our mills
in operation at reasonable rates Of
activity"
We will leave that for the Journal
to worry over, since it appears to
enjoy poo health. But we shall not
leave it to the Journal to adjust be-
cause the journal would undoubted-
ly proceed about it in this way,
judging from its past attitude On
public questions: 1t would cancel
Europe's debt to US. 1t would turn
our ocean carrying trade I'VE to
Great Britain. 1t would put us into
the League OF Nations. 1t would re-
turn to unrestricted immigration. 1t
would have absolutely free trade.
By such a program Europe might
speedily pay for our exports, and
Gosh knows we would need it! But
payment would not largely benefit
the industrially defunct.

Why Worry?

The New York Journal OF Com
merce, an out and out free. trade
paper, mas beer in a very unenviable
predicament since the passage of the
Republican tariff law in September,
1929. The Journal had made all
sorts of dire ~forebodings prior to the
enactment of that law, the burden
of its plant being that it would pro
hibit imports and as a result of such
prohibition u exports would pain
fully decline.
Month after month has gone by
and Just the reverse of the Journals
predictions has taken place. The re-
cord for the fiscal year ended June
80, last, shows that, compared with
the fiscal year 1914, with the Demo
cratic tariff law in force, and just
before the European War broke out,
both imports and exports have near
ly doubled, while the population of
the country has increased not more
than 15 per cent. Nor is this in
crease one of dollars and cents only.
Volume increases are much more evil
dent. To this the uninitiated it is
almost Il paradox to find trade in
creasing to such a degree under d
Republican tariff law, compared with
its Democratic predecessor, until
they look a little more closely and
discoved that much OF the increase
is due to the fact hal wages are
double what they were ten years ago,
and the purchasing power of the
country is consequently enhanced.
So the Journal has given up the
use of figures in its attacks on the

CHEERFULNESS
By F. n. WALKER

TT IS only when you make your de-
1 parture from cheerfulness that you
find the world Is sou and dreary.
The sparkle then is gone. from the
sunshine, for the Lord of Day is hid
den behind leaden clouds or curtains
of clinging mists. And so it is with
you, when your brightness of spirit
and beaming c~ountenance are OBJ
scured by somber thoughts which You
have permitted to surround and come
down upon you, without making any
effort to walk in the light.
You are so uncomfortable and un-
happy that everything on earth, your
intimates and loved ones included,
seems to have conspired against you
to fill your cup with misery.
1t Is not while you are in such II
state as this hat you can Mt one
stroke pull away from detection. bu,
you ean at least make the effort. You
have only to look on the happy faces
of children to get the right sort of i'm.
pulse and the proper strength to carry
you through to the CHEEKY land thai,
everybody loves.
Or, perhaps, better still, gaze intent
ly in your mirror and ask yourself III,
meaning Of the frowns between YOU
eyes and the hard. forbidding line,
about. your mouth.
II you will study these disfigurln
marks very closely and thoughtful!
| you will sse they have no business
there. You will observe, too. mat the,
are spelling xeur good looks.
They are ~. repellant disfigure
, ments which seem to say Keep avn!
from me; I am a self-tormentor. and
when in the mood l am now. l like to
| torment others"
How can you expect good fortune,
good health and pleasing conduct II
| you continue to scOwl and refrain
from laughter?
Cheerfuiness is often at the bottom
Of success. II mas n great deal to do
with health. not only of your body but
Of your spirit.
You who have overcome your old,
melancholy. dismal self. will grant this
with all your heart.
And you who nre In the doldrums
and doleful dumps will shut your
mouth hard and say nothing.
But the likelihood IL that. after sen-
sible reflection, you will decide to take
your place among the Eood!humored.
smiling folk who are the folk who
keep the world bright and sunny and
contribute to its creatures their great
est happiness.

The p. and r. questionable was
distributed widely throughout the

have not yet bee returned to COM
pany officials, II Is estimated that
practically every married man who
Is not already living in Parco would
gladly call Parco his home town.
To date three men have expressed
their desire to live in Parco to every
man who has not. When taking into
consideration the fact that . very
large proportion OF the men did not
