Your Problems
M@Mf94zI1;.
Gan One Love More Than Onceg

| Dear Miss Allen: Some time ago
your published a letter signed Ship
wrecked" in which the question was
asked whether love can come only
once in a lifetime.
A few years ago my answer TO
that would have been as You said.
"One can be truly in love only once. y
But now [ feel differently. / loved
my husband dearly and would still
love him were he living.
He had a close friend who. all
through my husbands long illness
was a great comfort because of the
sympathy and real help. Since my
husbands death he has helped me in
my troubles. The result is | am very
much in love with him.
Still, it occurs TO me, am I as much
in love as I think I am? Are We,
after all, so made that we are capable
of only one real love?
ONE IN DOUBT.
IL were you 1 would not allow
puzzling questions to. withhold me
from the happiness that love can
bring. The question for you to decide
provided your friend loves you and
has asked you to marry him-is
whether you love him.
If he has not asked you TO marry
him-and on this point your letter is
vague-put the whole problem of the
past away from you and try to think
of him and treat him as a good friend,
for this he has proved himself to be.
Winning Her Heart.
Dear Miss Allen: / am 25 and deep
ly in love with girl of 20. l have
asked her to go about with me. but
she says she's too young for that.
Can you tell me what would be the
hest way to make her see how much
care for her? ]. p.
All you can do Is accept and enjoy
as much of her companionship as she
accords you. Make no demands on
her time. Be patient. Prove your de-
votion in every unselflsh way. Try
to win the approval Of her father and
mother. Gradually your friends lk-
ing for you may deepen into love.
Sometimes it's far from easy to win
the one girl. but every bit of patient
effort Is worth while, is it not, with
such a hope to work toward? Good
luck to you. my friend.

PRESIDENTS SON
DIES AT CAPITOL
CALVIN COOLIDGE, JR., LOSES HIS
FIGHT OF FIVE DAYS WITH
DISEASE
FOUGHT DEATH BRAVELY
INFECTION DEVELOPED FROM
BROKEN BLISTER ON
RIGHT FOOT

Washington.-Calv Coolidge, Jr.
son of the President, died Monday
night, July Z, at Walter Reed hospital,
of blood poisoning.
The end came after the boy had bat
tied with the utmost bravery and for
ttude for five days against a disease
which had racked his body with pain
and sapped the reserve strength of his
frail constitution.
A sinking spell, the fourth he had
suffered in twenty-four hours, brought
oxygen and other restoratives, the
courage which had withstood crisis aft
er crisis and had beaten death off re-
peatedly, was unable to meet the at
tack. The collapse began at $50
o'clock and he gradually sank into eter-
nifty. He died at 10 80 o'clock.
Every resource of medical science
was brought into play in the vain eff
fort to save young Calvin's life. An
operation was performed on the left
leg to drain off the poison and blood
transfusions and oxygen were resorted
to in the later days of his illness.
The natural strength of boy of Is,
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 a
brave but always losing fight, he sue
cumbed.
One of the final complications and
the one which the physicians were un-
able to meet was the formation of gas
on the stomach. The organ was
washed out repeatedly in an effort to
put 1t in condition to retain nourish-
ment, but the effort was unsuccessful.
Young Calvin was removed to the
hospital and an operation revealed in
fammation of the bone marrow of the
left leg, where the infection first
localized in part A slight rally fol-
lowed, but his condition grew so seri-
Gus that blood TRANSMISSION and oxygen
administrations were resorted to.
Three sinking spells brought him to
the point of death. A slight rally
gave slight hope, but soon thereafter
he began again to lose ground and he
never rallied again.
The infection developed from a
broken blister on right foot sustained
during tennis match with his broth
er, John, on the White House courts.
At first, paying no attention to it, the
youth developed an alarming condl'
ton and physicians were summoned.
The poison, however, once started,
had spread so rapidly that medical
skill was without avail. A number OF
specialists were called to act with
White House physicians on the case
and n desperate fight for life was
made by the boy, who struggled In
great pain and with high fever.
President and Mrs. Coolidge bore up
bravely. Soon after the death they
went to the White House where the
elder brother, John, was awaiting
them.

THINGS
u N u AL
By T. T. MAXEY
NEW YORK'S OLDEST
CHURCH
o, 1924. Western Newspaper Union.)

st. Paul's church, which stands at
the northwest corner of Broadway
and Vesey street in Little Old New
York" is one of the three public build
ings erected before the days of the
Revolutionary war which have with
stood the ravages of progress in that
fast-changing city. The third church
to be built, 1t is the oldest church edi-
fee still standing on Manhattan island
TIE other two having passed into
history.
This venerable, yet exceedingly
well-preserved house of worship was
commenced In 1764 and first opened
for worship on October 80, 17G6. The
confagration some years later ruined
considerable portion of the city and
laid to waste buildings on all sides of
this religious home, but by reason Of
the fiatness of the roof which enabled
the firemen to mount 1t and extin-
guish the fires which were started by
brands blown from other buildings
falling on Its roof, st. Pauls escaped
with but little damage. A few years
later steeple was added.
The interior of this splendid ex-
ample of early-day church architec-
ture was fashioned after that of st.
ns-ln-the-Fields, London. The
building is lib feet long, 70 feet wide,
and its tall, old-fashioned spire is
made up of a series of differently
shaped sections stacked one on top of
the other.
In keeping with the majority of an
surrounded by a burial plot which, in
turn, is inclosed by a tall iron fence.
The grave of Francis Dring bears the
earliest inscription of all of those in
this yard-1767. Behind the chancel
within the church rest the remains of
Gen. Richard Montgomery, who lost
his life in the battle before Quebec in
1875.
A condition which at once raises
question in the mind of the looker-on
is the peculiar fact that this church
turns It's back on Broadway and faces
toward the Hudson river and the New
Jersey shore. 1t is explained that
this came about because of the fact
that at the time of its construction 1t
was believed that the territory be-
tween the church and the river prom
ised the greater development as the
future unfolded. 1t has come to pass,
however. that the reverse is true.
IN 17S9, a special service was held
In st. Pauls following the Inaugural
tion of George Washington as the first
president of the United States.

Uncle Sam Replies to Japan's Protest

vision does not differ greatly In Its
practical application or In its policy
from the gentlemen's agreement under
which the japanese government CO.
operated In preventing the emigration
of Japanese laborers to this country.
The only point of substantial differ
ence, he says, is that In the immlgra-
tion act congress has exercised Its pre-
rogative in defining by legislation the
control of immigration instead of leav-
ing 1t to international arrangements.
1t Is stated that while President
Coolidge would have preferred to con-
tinue the gentlemen's agreement and to
have entered into negotiations for such
notifications as might seem to be de-
sirable the American government does
not feel that II is limited to such an
international arrangement but that on
the contrary 1t always has reserved
the right of freedom with respect to
control of immigration.
Reviewing the history Of various ne
gotiations and treaties between the
United States and Japan. Secretary
Hughes shows that the United States
always has reserved the right to con-
troll immigration and that the Japa-
nese government has repeatedly recog-
nized this fact. II was with this dis
tinct understanding. It Is asserted. that
the treaty Of 1911 was concluded.

THE SKYSCRAPER CHURCH

In 1881, when Chicago was in its
swaddling clothes, the Methodists pur-
chased plot of ground in the down
town section of the town and built
their first" church center upon it.
BY the time 1856 rolled around, the
increased growth made the securing
of larger quarters an absolute neces-
sity. In the meantime, the business
part of the city had shaped itself
around the church and the value of
the church property had increased at
tremendously rapid rate. The Meth
odists might have sold out at a hand
some profit, but instead they decided
to retain their holdings and capital
lied the situation by combining re-
liglon and business after a new
fashion, producing a practical novelty.
They built building several stories
high, within which was a church, and
rented the ground floor and all other
space not used for church purposes,
for business purposes.
History has again repeated itself.
The attendance of 1922 had outgrown
the church of 1856. Their plot had
become the center of the cltys retail
business section. So again, the Meth
odjsts enlarged their quarters and in
duplicating their former plan on far
larger and far more grand scale, they
produced the tallest building in Chi
cago the most unusual church build
ing In America, and the highest
church building in all the world.
This magnificent skyscraper church
is so by 1872 feet and 21 stories (and
basement), or 260 feet high. The cor
ner is surmounted by an elaborate but
substantial spire which carries on"
296 feet farther-making the total
height of the structure $50 feet.
An elaborate entrance leads from
the street directly into a veritable
dream of house of worship" sur
rounded by shops and stores within.
This secluded church is modelled
somewhat after the style of the Eng
lish churches, elegant but simple, dig
nified, and in silent accord with the
creed of the church, with a seating
capacity of about 1900 persons and
containing an organ as fine in quality
and pleasing in tone as the experts of
the organ-builder's art could produce.
The original church Is said to have
cost $3.50. The new structure, Its
graceful spire dwarfing all other sky
scrapers in Chicago, cost about $5,-
100000, and the annual income from
the space rented for stores and offices
is fabulous one.

The National Banking System in Peril?

"The branch banking situation Is de-
veloping so rapidly that the refusal of
congress to consider this restrictive
measure is simply an invitation for an
extension of branch banking which
will be more troublesome to deal with
next December
This bill. the most important bank
ing bill since the passage of the fed
eral reserve act, is necessary to pre-
serve and more firmly establish the
benefits and advantages of that act.
National banks can exercise no powers
except those granted by congress. and
the purpose of this bill is to restore as
nearly as possible the equilibrium be-
tween the state and national banks
within the federal reserve system. The
bill will not place any disadvantage
upon the state banks, but Is In many
respects favorable to them.
"Since January 1, 1918, 173 national
banks, each with a capital of more
than 100000. gave up their national
and took out state charters and carried
with theYn total assets of nearly ST.
OO0,O00,00O This is about 10 per cent
of the total assets of the entire nation
al banking system. At this rate 1t
would not be many years before the
system itself would be destroyed and
the federal reserve system thereby left
with only state member banks, which
could withdraw at will"
The Colorado statesman., 1924-07-12

TORMAL reply to the protest OF
E the Japanese government against
the exclusion provision of the
new immigration law is made by
Secretary of State Hughes In note
to Masanao Hanihara, the Japanese
ambassador. recently made public.
Secretary Hughes expresses appre-
ciGtion for the voluntary cooperation
of the Japanese government in carry
ing out the gentlemens agreement of
I907-0S and states that under the cir
crmstances 1t Is proper that the jap
anese government should be considered
released MS from July 1, when the eX-
clusion provision of the immigration
net becomes effective. from any fur
ther obligation under the old agree
ment.
The secretary concludes his letter
by expressing the conviction that the
recognition of the right of each gov
ernment to legislate in control of Inn
migration should not derogate in any
degree from the mutual good will and
cordial friendship which have always
characterized the relations of the two
countries"
Secretary Hughes, after citing the
language of the sections which exempt
.ertain classes from the exclusion pro-
vision, states that when these excep-
uqns are taken into account the pro-
