The week following a presidential
election always finds the country
gossiping and swapping rumors on
what the new administration will do.
who Will make up the new Cabinet,
ana, as in the present instance of
an administrations succeeding itself,
cogitating on who will leave the
cabinet and who will take their
places.
The last week has been no excep-
ton. Rumors. plenty Of them, are
rife as to what President Coolidge
plans to do in his administration,
whether he will push tax reduction,
whether he will call an extra session
of Congress after March 4, what
members of his Cabinet plan to
leave and who he intends to appoint
to succeed them. AS usual, the
President has been letting others do
most of the talking. Secretary OF
Labor Davis is the only Cabinet
member who has publicly expressed
his intention to leave the Cabinet
and re-enter private life after March
4. The President sees no reason for
calling an extra session Of Congress
and he thinks that talk Of tax re-
duction before the books are balanced
at the Treasury next June is prema-
ture. While Congress convenes De-
cember l for the short session. IL
probably will y content itself with
passing the necessary supply bills,
waiting for developments before at
tempting any far-reaching leGisla-
ton.
The only vacancy in the Cabinet is
that caused by the death of Secretary
Of Agriculture Wallace. The Presi-
dent, it is understood, will appoint
Howard N. Gore Of West Virginia to
serve until March 4. Mr.. Gore. who
! is now Acting Secretary, was elected
governor Of West Virginia two weeks
ago and will assume Office March f.
The death of Senator Lodge has
created an interesting situation in
the Senate. His vacant seat has been
filled for the remainder Of this Con-
gress by the appointment of William
NJ. Butler, chairman Of tho Republi-
can national committee, who has just
completed the safe plotting OF his
party through the presidential CAM
paign. Senator Lodges loss as chair
man of the Senate foreign relations
committee elevates, by the rule Of
seniority. Senator Borah Of Idaho to
that post. AS Senator Borah's views
on phases of this country's foreign
relations are not strictly in accord
with those Of the administration there
may be complications. e n t o r
Lodges death also leaves the POSI-
ton Of Senate leader to be filled.
Senator Wadsworth of New York and
Senator Curtis OF Kansas are promi-
nent among those mentioned for the
place.
The President spent the week. IS
usual, in his office at the White
House. He received many callers
who congratulated him on his cleo
ton and wished him four years OF
success in the White House. lie MADE
one speech, addressing on Thursday
night the Association of Land Grant
Colleges, meeting here in convention.
Coming events cast their shadows
and already Congress is represented
at the Capitol by the House Commit
tee on Appropriations. which has be-
gun work cutting down the appro-
priations to be made by the next Con-
gress. Hearings on the annual sup
ply bills are underway.

Margaret Hicks Brings
News Of Americans
in Europe

Miss Margaret deForest Kick
daughter Of Mrs. William CleVelan
Hicks, has returned from tive
months OF rapid travel in Europe,
during which she saw many people
0f interest to washington society.
Her primary purpose IN Europe was
to get In touch with the political
leaders of southern and south eAstern
Europe, and IN most instances I'M.
terviews with these were obtained.
10 save time Miss Hicks did
much OF her travelling by air One
OF her flights was from Paris to-
Prague. This - d two.lap flight,
Elecessitating 81 stop In Strassburg.
As there were no other passengers
1 the American girl was asked IL she,
preferred to ride sitting In the I'M
terror Of the plane or alongside the
pilot. She chose the seat BY the
pilot, and all went well to Etrass-
burg. From Strassburg they START
Cd toward Praguea flight OF six
hours and after flying for 3 few
hours they found themselves con-
fronted by storm. The pilot, APP
parently undaunted, flew on and on
IN silence with the high winds LASH
Ing around, until the six hours were
the plane down and Miss Hicks dis
mounted Re 1y to so from the field
into Prague
But the cid was disappointing
familiar. It looked just like the
one at Strassburg! Yes, the town
nearby was Strassburg, the pilot ad.
lnitted, and added that Il was inn
possible to get. over the mountains
into hosloval1ia with that storm
raging-and that the only sensible
thing for him to do was to bring
the plane back and make the flight
when the storm was over.
SEES MUCH OF CONTINENT
FROM AEROPLANE.
Miss Hicks reluctantly understood
and said that she would ny the
next day. But the next day was
Sunday, she was told and no flights
were permitted on Sundays. She
insisted that she must go to Prague
as quickly as possible, but there
was disposition to break this rule
until she presented some official
missives; which the pilot interp.
reted to mean that he could make
the flight on Sunday. However,
when the next day came the storm
was still murly over the noun.
tains and SO the flight had to be.
postponed until Monday, which put
Miss Hicks in Prague about the
same time as IL she had gone by
train.
Just before leaving Strassburg,
when she was given her hotel
check she discovered that she had

For there was her bill made out to
