NEW YORK. April 22.-President
Coolidge today dedicated himself to
the task Of restoring America to its
lost or forgotten ideals
He made the keynote Of his coming
campaign for the presidency and the
platform on which his administration
is TO be built II he is reelected. the
law Of service" both domestically
and internationally.
The President in an address to
several hundred newspaper editors at
tending the luncheon here OF the As.
sociated Press epitomized his platform
in these words:
"One of the pre-eminent require
ments Of our country at the present
time is TO establish and emphasize in
the public mind this law OF service
The danger Of America is not in the
direction of the failure TO retain its
economic position. but in the direction
of the failure to maintain it's ideals"
Touches on Oil Scandals
Around that thought Mr.. Coolidge
built up a complete program. both
domestic and foreign, OF legislation
and policy, which he made clear he
will attempt to carry out II elected.
To Mr.. Coolidge this law OF serv-
ice" is not a sentimental phrase He
said emphaticslly it was mot to be
confounded with a weak and imprac.
teal sentimentalism And then to
illustrate his meaning. he applied his
idea OF service to the questions Of
taxation. governmental economy, the
uprooting of iniquity In high places
as disclosed by the scandal inves-
legations and TO Americas foreign re-
lations.

Coolidge said their genesis lay in the

i WILL GO FREE,' SAYS
SLAYER IN HAPPY MOOD
Has Packed His Things
Preparatory to Leaving
Asylum and Plans to Go
Abroad for Rest With Aged
Mother.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, April odds
were freely offered today that Harry
K Thaw will be adjudged a sane nan
before nightfall-
A verdict favorable to Thaw by the
jury. hearing his petition for freedom
from the asylum that has held him
seven years, was anticipated.
Developments Of the past twenty
four hours within ana without the
courtroom led to extreme confidence
on Harry's part.
''I'H be free before tonight" the
slayer Of Stanford White said jubilant-
ly. He plans to make his peace with
the New York authorities who want
him in connection with the beating OF
r srick Gump, Jr., in that city in
1917, and then he will be off for Paris
and a peaceful Indian summer with
his aged mother.
The climax OF the trial came when
William J. Gray, counsel for Evelyn
Nesbit, addressed the jury after the
State had concluded with a demand
that Thaw be found still insane.

Gray.
Almost at the last minute, il was un-
derstood an offer of settlement was
made to Evelyn Nesbit which would
have caused her virtual withdrawal.
But the offer was refused and Gray
began a slashing speech 70 the jury
demanding that Thaw be kept in Kirk
brides.
Gray threw out hint Of bribery and
Thaw. who had packed his things
preparatory to leaving the asylum. and
who had smiled and laughed through
out the summation by Dickson, sat
up and eyed the lawyer grimly. The
fiery eloquence of the lawyer was be
Teved all that stood between him and
freedom and it was possibly for this
reason that the unsatisfactory offer
To Evelyn Nesbit was made.

EIectrfhes Court

Gray began by showing that not one
lay witness called by counsel for
Thsw. had said they thought Thaw
sane. He said the questions asked
them had been cleverly framed so that
they answered that they had seen
nothing in Thaw's speech or actions
to indicate that he was OF unsound
mind"
Gray electrified the courtroom with
his f1re-in contrast to dispassionate
representation Of their cases by Dick
fson and Judge Patterson, Thaw's law
yers.
Miss Nesbit's attorney tore to pieces
the testimony of many of the lay wit
nesses. showing they had no op-
portunity fairly to judge tThaw's
sanity
What made those jurors that found
him insane In 1917 change their
mind?" demanded Gray.
What is there about the Thaw
family that makes people change their
minds?"
Thaw had lost little Of his cheer
fulness and was perspiring freely His
mother sat near him, tanning herself
vigorously.

There are unmistakable marks of

same again-at least so far as the
shape of his trouser legs is concerned,
the contour of his soft felt hat, or
the color of his collar. Too bad
there wasn't a princess along with
as much genuine pep and magnetism
as the prince. We might have eX-
perienced some interesting develop

But the princes visit was not with
out some influence in the matter of
women's clothes. And merchants
here and there tried to take ad-
vantage of bit of free advertising
by Offering coats of the sort of fabric
used by the prince or something of
that sort. One clever milliner went
so far as to make use of the crest
of three plumes, invariably associ-
ated with a Prince of Wales. which
we are told was first adopted and
worn by the Black Prince goodness
knows how many hundred years ago

as the Prince of Wales of today
but prince who never lived to rule

Some one ought some day to write
a history Of the ostrich plume. From
early times men have hunted this
giant bird for his feathers and have
used them for their own adornment.
In England and France men seem
once to have appropriated the entire
supply. The knight in armor did not
feel completely dressed without
plume or so bowing and bobbing from
the top of his helmet, and there was
one period they used to wear an
enormous bunch of them at thesback
of the helmet so that they fell and
foated backward and downward
nearly to the knights waist.
But now the ostrich is the exclu-
sive property of women, and the ap-
peal of this graceful plumage is as
strong as ever it was. All the great

He looked until his eyes ached At

met like the letter V. Peter wondered
if his old friend Honker was leading

met. Every year since he could re-
