Tonight the body of the youth,
whose death Monday cast shadow
over the White House and brought
the keenest sorrow to those who
have grown to know him as a
friend during the little time he had
been at home there, will be taken
by the Presidents family, now
broken for the first time, to his
boyhood home at Northampton,
Mass. There, amid old friends,
services will be held tomorrow at
the Edw, yards Congregational
Church of which Calvin was a
member. Later in the day he will
be laid to rest beside the grave of
the Presidents mother at Ply
mouth, Vermont.
Diplomats Present
Joining th64family in attendance
at the White House services today
were q few intimate friends, cabi-
net members, chiefs of diplomatic
missions, justices of the supreme
court and members of Congress
now in the city, and high officers
Of the army, navy and marine
corps.
To bear the body to its last rest
ing place, six marines, assigned to
the presidential yacht, Mayflower,
who with six bluejackets of the
yacht have served guard over the
bier in the East Room Of the White
House since yesterday, also will
proceed with the party under COM
mahd Of Lieut.. Edgar Allen Poe.
The President consented to the
military guard for his son when it
was chosen from among those on
the yacht who had become friends
of his son during weekend trips,
which were young Calvin's happiest
times here.

Whenever a city man goes driving
he heads straight for the country.
Lolling back contentedly, he is en-
chanted by the rolling hills which
drift off unfortunately until they melt
into the blue sky at the horizon;
lulled by the waving fields of grain,
like velvet seas, and caressed by the
cool shadows of the forests primevai.
Before his half-closed eyes float
visions of pure, rich milk, fresh eggs
every hour of the day: golden but
vegetables pulled from the cool,
black soil at their tenderest: slabs
of bacon smoked in Il smudge of
hickory: huge berries flooded with
real cream; luscious peaches picked
lust when ready to burst; cider,
sometime soft and more often hard
And down deep in his heart the
city man VOWS that some day-some
day, which he prays is not too far
distant-he will remove from that
cold formal artificial pile of brick
steel and concrete called city out
into the free wholesome genuineness
of the country.
On the other hand. when the
farmer comes to the city does he
envy us our stuffy. overfurnished
mats. Does lie ever WISH ne coulu
live in town and be tempted by
stupid concerts. silly ball games and
insipd theatricals? Docs he like to
eat in noisy. jazzv restaurants?
Does he ever look twice at those
painted city girls whose long waist
ed gowns accentuate their swaying
hips? Does he ever forget to take
the last interurban back to the rest
full peace and quiet of the country
You're doggonc right he does

Woman Professor Defends Co.. Edu
cation

The glory of the modern American
CO. educational college lies in the fact
that it substitutes college activities, "
with its training in human affairs, for
the wasteful leisure time excuses
whereby too many European students
still fail to get anything but a degree.
according to DR.. Jessica Peixotto,
professf of Social Economics at the
University of California, who writes
on the subject in The Forum.
In college activities powers for So
cial responsibility are quickened and
ripcncd. In co-educational colleges
these college activities give both
sexes the additional advantage of
training in straightforward relations
with each other. Strengthened by
the new outlook on life gained daily
in laboratory. library, and class room,
young men and women together Or
ganize committees on journalism. the
drama, music. athletics. debate. poll
tics. charitable erdeavor. club life,
devious relations with alumni and
with the outside world. Any campus
of a great educational college Is
an intricate web of associations
claiming brain power and loyalty
from each member OF many groups.
So is life. The pressing social need
is for men and for women thus
trained and trained together.
The discipline coeducation brings
comes to the hea!thiest and busiest of
both sexes almost without their
knowledge. Trained together, the old
Adam and Eve are like tt find new
paradise wherein they NAV perhaps

Size Of American Army Unworthy

The United States not only has
a smaller army than any other of the
seven leading nations of the world.
except Germany, but also fewer
soldiers in proportion to the number
OF people protected. Germany is dis
armed She is powerless as far as
national defense is concerned. The
diplomats at Versailles felt that an
army of 100000 would leave her de-
fenseless and powerless: yet the
military strength of the United
States is more nearly equal TO that
of Germany than of any other nation.
In proportion to populatin. We have
an even smaller army than Germany.

merchant at his desk pay taxes to

Even of the sum that is employed
