Touch Of Winter Blows Do1Dn On President At Old Home
Story or Pie For Breakfast In New England
 Homes Proves Only Myth

PLYMOUTH, Vt, Aug. 1S.-New England breakfast pie is just legend around the house of Col. John Coolidge, the Presidents father. There may be some Vermont homes where pie is a breakfast comestible, but not at Col. Johns house.
 A touch of winter blew down out of the north Monday and sent the thermom- eter toward a point where pie, if even it could be suitable for early morning consumption, might come into its own as substantial fuel on a cold day. The temperature was 45 degrees.
 The President arose at dawn and had his breakfast immediately and, all though substantial one, it was a pie less meal. The wind whistled through the trees and around the sharp gables of the Coolidge home. Colonel John brought load of wood from the shed and fired up the parlor stove, one of those deep-throated old contrivances that, once they get under way, howl right back at the wind and fill the room with comfortable rustic of warmth.
 After the morning chores were over the family scattered. The President called a White House motor and went down the road for half a mile to visit the ancestral home of the Coolidge's where four generations of them were born and died before Colonel John built the present house.
 Mrs. Coolidge, wearing a white dress and a heavy sweater, walked down to the cemetery to the grave of her son, Calvin, Jr., with fresh flowers gathered across the road from the Coolidge home,

DEFECTS CLAIMED
 IN PROCLAMATION
Attorney Fears New Code Not
 Properly Promulgated

GOODWATER, Ala, Aug. 1S.- (Special.) The governors proclamation designates the 17th day of August for the new code of Alabama to go into ef- feet, but does the proclamation itself place the code in effect? This question ha sarisen here, and John A. Darden, local attorney, declares that the procla- nation is defective and probably not sufficient to give the new code legal ef- feet.
 The proclamation by the governor designates the code as being approved or adopted by the general assemly of Alabama" whereas, he says, there is no such lawmaking body in Alabama and has not been since the adoption of the present constitution of the state. The codes were duly approved by the legislature of Alabama, and whether the defect pointed out will affect the va- lidity of the new codes is a question that it is claimed may arise later.

Up the road bit the President was wandering through the haunts of his boyhood. He looked through the old barn and paused moment to observe the giant maple trees he used to tap to get syrup for his flannel cakes. His ramble around the home-place might have continued for some time had not Representative Treadway, of Massa- chusettS, arrived with hay rakes for the Coolidges', father and son.
 Gets New Rake
 In front of Colonel Johns home, Treadway handed the rakes to the Pres ident and informed him that they were made of hickory. The long handles were turned few times in the Presi- dents hands. Then he looked at the toothed cross-beam.
 These aren't hickory they're ash" he said. Pointing to the teeth of the rakes he drawled, "they're hickory"
 Treadway was satisfied with the re- vised description but he insisted that they were good rakes, telling the Presi- dent that they were the work of. Mar shall w. Steadman, of Tyringham, Mass, fourth in line of rake makers.
 While the rakes were being presented movie cameras were ground and cameras clicked.
 The President seems rested by his respite from official duties and the humid air of Washington. Mrs. Cool idge looks we'll, though she is suffering from a slight cold. Major Coupal, the White House physician, makes daily visits to assure himself of his charges health.

DEATH CAUSED
 BY ANAESTHETICS
Ziegfeld FolIies Girl Was Model
 Actress

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-An overdose of anesthetic administered in an ope- ration for appendicitis three years ago, was responsible for the death of Miss Julia Warnock, model chorus girl of Zeigfeld's Follies, who was found dead Saturday in the bath tub of her apart ment in "Pomander Walk" according to members of her family. The over dose of anaesthetic, it is blieyed, left her heart weakened. The medical ex- aminer found death due to a heart att tack.
 Miss Warnock, who was known on the stage as Mary Julian, was a grad uate of the University of Kansas, and took postgraduate course in the Uni versity of Chicago, specializing in psy- chology. Representatives of Florenz Zeigfeld described her as model chorus girl, who never missed performance. She neither drank nor smoked, they as- serted:

The Birmingham post office is now in class c, there being two higher rating classes.
 Contemplates No Changes
 Bass, in an interview Monday with a representative of The Age Herald, stated that he contemplated no radical changes of system or personel in his de- pertinent when he takes office. He com mented fayorably on Smyer's adminis- tration, regretting only that he was to supersede 50 capable a man. His first action as postmaster, he said, will be the calling of conference of his de- pertinent heads to consider what im- provements, if any, shall be made.
 Bass's title until December will be *acting postmaster" it was stated Mon day. His appointment by Postmaster General New must be confirmed by the president and ratified by the senate. This procedure, however, is merely a formality, it was stated.
 Smyer, who practiced law before he became postmaster, has made no plans for the future, according to a statement made public Monday. He has under con sideration an extended vacation of sey- eral months, he said, before he thinks about business. He made no confirma- ton of rumors that he wilLseek another government position.

MAY ASK
 ADDITIONAL MEN
 ON POLICEFORCE
If Lacy Resolution Is Adopted, Stand Will
 Be Reversed

A resolution by J. D. Lacy, calling for immediate steps to increase the size of Birmingham's police department, was placed formally before the civil service board Monday night. Action was referred until the next meeting, when the full board will be present.
 This resolution, if adopted, would cause the board to reverse completely the position it assumed in it's last an nuaI report, when it asserted that "bet- ter trained men, not more men" was the paramount, need of the department. Moreover, the resolution is in line with the views of Police Commissioner w. B. Cloe, who persistently has urged the need of 50 or 100 additional men.
 Board members did not discuss Lacy's resolution, but its introduction at this time-just two weeks after the retire ment of John W. Altman as chairman of the board-was regarded as highly significant.
 Wilkinson Absent.
 Judge Horace Wilkinson, who sue ceeded Altman on the board, was not at the meeting. He is out of the city on a brief vacation. Wilkinson, who is slated for election as chairman, was declared to be in favor of more patrol men.
 Lacy's resolution, asks an early con- ference with Police Chief McDuff and the city commission to shape plans for augmenting the present force.
 "We will talk the situation over with Chief McDuff and get an idea of the departments needs," Lacy told reDorters. '9This conference will be held before the end of the month"
 When the proposal to increase the force reaches the city commission, Cloe will lead the fight for it, and ex- poets to have the support of the ma jority of his colleagues.
 Cloe and the service board had a lively tilt in January when the board submitted its annual report. This re- port denied the need of more men, and Cloe promptly attacked this attitude, saying the force was "ridiculously small"
 Subsequently, Cloe and Chairman Alt man had numerous exchanges over the proposal to establish a training school for department members, Clee contend ing this was not necessary and Altman contending it was the greatest need of the department.
 At its meeting Monday night, the board passed Mrs. EstelIe Dorman and Mrs. Mary l.. Stallings for positions as pOlicewomen. They will be called into service later. The board also approved three applications for special officers badges and one application for a posi- tion AS Dafrolman

SCRAMBLE IS SEEN

 chusetts federation which has endorsed La Toilette, Connecticut, through the influence of Ornborn seems likely to stick with Davis and Bryan.
 The refusal of the central trades and labor council of greater New York to join the conference for progressive political action to be held in New York Wednesday for the purpose of endors- ing the La Toilette ticket was a blow to the progressive campaign in New York. This defection probably was prompted partly by democratic influ- ence and partly by the feeling that the garment trades and the socialist la borites allied with Sidney Hillman are being allowed too much prominence in the La Toilette organization.
 Case In Illinois
 Offsetting this is the enthusiastic support which La Toilette is receiving from the Illinois state federation of labor. The refusal of state labor leaders there to support Davis may prove a de- cisive factor in the result in Illinois in November. Republicans are badly split and if Davis could count on the solid backing of labor, he might carry the state, despite the fact that Dawes claims Illinois as his residence.
 Republicans have never enjoyed much favor from organized labor. They direct their appeal more to unorganized work CTS and rely on full dinner pail talk rather than friendliness to organized leaders. This year the republicans lhave to live down the Daugherty injunction issued during the railroad shopmenssl strike and they have to overcome the antagonism aroused by the open shop activities of the Dawes minute men. Coolidge made little play to labor in his acceptance speech though he em- phasized that labor prospers when in- dustry prospers, and argued that labor ought to be thankful for the protec- tive tariff and protective immigration.
 Republicans are receiving some aid from T. V. O'Connor of the shipping board who was head of the Longshore- mems union for long time. But O'Con- nor has no influence among the regular A. F. of l., labor leaders. Likewise Secretary of Labor Davis is of little use to the republicans in this respect. He started life as an iron puddler but after he got into the banking business, organized labor marked him off its list. He has tremendous influence, how ever, through the Moose lodge which he built up.

 The democrats are late in getting to work, due largely to the circumstance that they got a surprise candidate and hence could not really organize until the candidate, himself surprised, should have decided who he wanted in the key places of campaign authority, while the republicans, whose course was arranged for them by fate, have been set for months. This also accounts for the present popularity of the republican pastime of making up tables of the states to show the certainty of Mir. Coolidges election. All you have to do is to assume that the Presidents popu- larity in New York and New England insures him those states that La Fol lette has nothing like the appeal he thinks he has in the middle west and northwest, and that the farmers will not follow him and the laboring men are democrats anyhow; that the op- position to Senator Stanley in Ken lucky means a democratic split there {; that Missouri is still so worked up over the convention defeat of McAdoo that it is just aching to drop into the hands of the republicans; that Cover nor Bryan has no pull in Nebraska, and that Hiram Johnson means to make no trouble in California-and q few more assumptions of the sort and you can almost demonstrate that if Davis carries Georgia he will be lucky.
