SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, June 27.-
President and Mrs. Coolidge yester-
day took a sixty mile motor ride over
| the historic roadway of revolution
airy days which carried them through
Cambridge and the environs of Bos
| ton where the first guns of the revo-
luton sounded, ending at the Ar
| lington Cemetery at Watertown
where are buried the first Coolidges
and some ancestors of President Gar
| field.
Inspected Ancestors Graves.
They carefully inspected the tomb
stones of the CooIidges and Mrs.
Coolidge ordered some flowers sent
there tomorrow. Some of the marks
| on the stones in this ancient God $
acre were dimmed with age and both
the President and his wife at times
leaned on their knees to read the
inscriptions.
In the old graveyard the name
of Coolidge predominates. The orig
inal Coolidge to come to this coun-
try. whose farm was not far away
from where he now lies. is spelled
Colidge. Other spellings of the name
We're: Coolidge, Coolfig and Coolige
Some of the markers contained the
spelling used by the President The
teen different ways of spelling the
name. and 1t was not until more re-
cent times that his family adopted
Coolidge.
All the markers were made in Eng
land, the President thought, and are
of hard slate. Some of them contain
ed death heads and other cuttings
symbolic of death. The President
pointed out the differeit death heads
~ Il. l.
earlier ones were large and trifle
crude. while some of them were quite
small and more ornate.
Read Epitaphs.
The first grave visited by the Presi-
dent was that of his ancestor of 10
generations. John Coolig, and his wife
Mary. The inscription on the tomb
stone reads: John Colidg, SO years,
died the 7th of May. 1891"
The inscription on that Of his wife
reads: Here lyes Ye body of Mary
Colidg. wife of John Colidge, age SO.
died August %, 1891"
Another marker reads: Cap.
Thomas Coolige fell asleep II April.
1749. having served his country well
in the Office of Deacon, 66 years
Old
The most striking monument in the
DurSlnR RrOunQ Is a cOluHn erected TO
the memory of Joseph Coolidge. He
is not an ancestor of the President.
He was killed in the Battle of Lexing-
ton While explaining this. the Presi
dent pointed to a stone nearby, where
Edmund Rice of Sudbury is buried,
saying that the latter has three de
scendants who have lived in the White
House-Abigail Adams, wife of John
Adams: John Quincy Adams and Presi-
dent Coolidge himself.
Related to Rices.
The President is related to the Rices
on one side.
Leaving the cemetery. the trip took
the President to the Belmont Springs
Country Club. where he and Mrs.
Coolidge alighted and watched the
players a few minutes, and in doing
so they embarrassed one player so
greatly he missed an easy shot on
the green. The latter had bet on the
game and he plumbled something like
IA Damn" causing the President to
smile. During their tour through the
first floor of the clubhouse the Presi
dent purchased cigars for those ac-
companying him.

President was asked by one of the
party.

so as to be prepared for any emer-

lftical dope now that Vice President
Dawes and President Coolidge are
both in this section. Some Repub-
1icans In massachusetts, the former
Lodge followers. are saving that
Dawes will seek the Republican nomi-
nation for President in 1928. with the
support of the farmers and some of
the big interests.
Friends OF President Coolidge. while
not speaking with any authority. are
open in their assertion that President
Coolidge will not regard the short
period he served in the Harding ad.
ministration as a term, and may be
expected to go before the party con
vention as candidate for another
nomination. They prefaced this pre-
diction that he will go after another
term with the statement that his
course is entirely dependent upon the
state of business. If there is pros
perity. they declare he cannot be de
feated for the nomination. II there is
not. he is not expected to attempt to
break down the third term tradition.
Saving Of the peoples money and
returning it to them in reduced taxes
is the slogan which is going to help
President Coolidge in his efforts to get
another term. his friends here say.

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS
 ON WEST END GAS STATION
Board of Public Works Must Pass On Changes In Layout of
 Propcrty.

Although the state commissioner of motor vehicles refused to abide by the wishes of the local board of public works in tho matter of a gasoline station permit under which the Standard oil Co. may retail gasoline on the O'Connell site on West Main street, there are several changes that must be made at that plot before the station can become a reality. and unless the public works board approves tho station cannot be established.
 Since the public works board has emphatically refused to sanction a gasoline filling station there and it's officials appeared before the motor vehicle commissioner in an effort to have the permit rescinded, 1t will be interesting to follow the dictates of the board when application for the changes Is made
 To make possible a drive-in sta- tion, which is the only kind that can be- established under the per- init. at least one new driveway must be constructed. the sidewalk must be torn up and replaced and man. holes must be changed. The board of public works has control over driveways, sidewalks and man. holes and excepting with approval of the board. no alterations can be made.
 Application for these changes has not yet been made.

DAVIS WARNS OF
 ! ANTI ARMY TALK
Acting Secretary of War Hits at "Certain Religious Bodies"

Washington, April Warning against "ccrtain religious bodies, which have condemned national de- fense plans was sounded here today by Acting Secretary Davis of the War Department addressing a lunch- con of the council of chaplalns, which is meeting here to study the departments plans for religious in- struction in the army.
 Tn a sense 1t may be a natural reaction 10 narrowing experiences of tho World War;" Mr. Davis sail, but like every reaction it is likely 10 go to extremes.
 T am heartily in sympathy with any constructive effort that is intend ed to do away with the tragedy Of war. The church would be untrue to one of its greatest tcnets if it did not do it's utmost to bring about peace on earth but it will do more by promoting 'good will among men and by creating a sentiment which shall make it possible for q man to serve his country in the army with out feeling that by so doing he is acting disloyaliy towards the Master.
 Many a good cause has found its worst enemy among it's ill-advised friends. The church, like thr indi- vidual needs to be on its guard against emotional reaction"

HERR|OT NAMED CHAMBER LEADER
Fist Fights Feature Election of
 French Deputies
El The AssocIated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, April Performer Premier i Edouard Herriot was elected presi- dent of the chamber of deputies this evening. He received 27O votes. with but a single vote against him. the opposition abstaining from vot- ing.
 The members of the cartel, or group supporting the government, arose and cheered when the result was announced. The new president of the lower house bowed his thanks in return, and the chamber adjourned. He will preside over the session tomorrow.
 There was some good natured speculation aS 10 whether the ex- premier had voted for himself or whether he was the lone deputy who voted the other way. Fist fights occurred on the presi- dents rostrum of the chamber of .deputies this afternoon during bal ! loting. | When a member of.the opposition. Deputy Balanant, charged that "ten ! deputies voted twice." two socialists broke through the protection offered by the sergeant-at-arms. There was much wild swinging of arms, and one straight-arm punch staggered Balanant. whose friends mixed in making the fight general on tho ros- i trum.
 Suspension of the session was nec- essary before order could be restor- ed and when the proceedings were resumed the president proposed that Balanant be censured.

.SKYSCRAPER HAS
 ITS FAULTS, TOO
British Architect Tells Of Yari- OuS Views

New York. April .2,-Now Works skyscrapor are glorious though embarrassing" said pr, Raymond unwin. chief architect to the British ministry of health, addressing the international city and regional plan ming conference here today on the possibility of solving urban over crowding by system Of planned de- ccntralization.
 "Wo of other lands" said Dr. un- win, mostly content with fiyo or six stories, have watched with bated breath inc designing boldness of your architects and the structural audacity of your engineers in hand ling the problems which these great masses of buildings present. Some instinct, perhaps mere timidity, has held us back from copying"
 Dr. Cnwin asserted, however, that this overcrowding upward was even more short sighted than horizontal crowding, because the great increase of land values it brings makes the preservation Of open spaces and widening of streets difficult. In Eng land. he said, the decentralization cure has set in with great yigor, but 1t is in America that intelligent 2on- ing as the remedy has the widest support.
 Twentieth century means of trans portaton and power transmission, although they may for a time in crease congestion in cities, vii eventually make possible a new de- i standardization, Dr. Unwin said. "To- day the peasant on his farm can hear the presidents voice as well as if he were in the back of the hall, ,' { he said. Tomorrow he will watch his face while speaking"
 Dr. Unwin advocated the cstab- 1 lishment of suburbs which shall be i complete industrial and residential centers,
 Other speakers today were John | Nolen, city planner of CambridP Mass; Dr. R. Heiligenthal of Der. 1 lin. and C. B. Purdom, finance di- rector of Welwyn Garden City, Eng, land, whose paper dealt with inc success of the English experiment 1T making garden cities.

 He advised against bond issues with taxation on an ad vaIorem basis and asserted that "more than enough money is now being spent on high ways but is not being spent in the right way"
 He favored road fund disburse- ments through a more or less cen- tralized agency rather than through officials of the various states, who, he said, Generally have an eye for political benefit"

HITS AT FRATERNITIES
College Men Who Do Not Belong Said to Have Slightly Higher Scholarship Rating.

New Brunswick. N. J., April 22,- Non-fraternity men are more able students than fraternity members; the scholarship of athletes is slightly lower than Inc average of the un- dergraduate body: and members or the varsity football team are the poorcst students of all, according 10 figures made public today at Rutgers university.
 The average scholarship mark or fraternity men is 7S.S while non- fraternity members average 14.S, inc figures show. Football men average I'll. Baseball men average fourth among college athletes here with a mark of 78.7. The low mark ot football is blamed in part to the fact that it's basis includes figures taken during the football season as well as the remainder of the college years.
