ECHOES OF COOLIDGE'S ec-
onomy program were heard in
the D. A. R. Congress which is meet
ing in the National Capital this week.
Washington still remembers the ex-
element which reigned over their
last annual convention when the
meeting became so disorderly that a
policeman was called in to quell the
disturbance The only discussion
which verged on the exciting so far,
posed increase in the annual dues.
There was strong opposition to the
amendment which contained this
provision, and it was defeated by
two-thirds vote on the general
grounds of economy. Chauncey
Depew recently stated that President
Coolidge had made economy
fashionable virtue" and he seems
to have plenty Of evidence to prove
it.
THE OPENING OF THE baseball
season here, when the Mats defeated
the Yankees, was an exciting day for
Washington baseball fans including
the President and Mrs. Coolidge.
The President is most enthusiastic
admirer Of this sport but spectators
were forced to admit that Mrs
Coolidge is more familiar with it.
Coolidge stood up in the Yankee half
of the seventh inning and none of
Mrs Coolidge's gestures to sit down
were of any avail Being of a
diplomatic turn of mind Secretary of
State Kellogg rose too, and slowly
the crowd joined them. That the
President really is interested in the
game was proven, though, when he
stopped during his regular evening
walk to watch the street score of
the game in Philadelphia the day
before the National Yankee contest

WHEN THE TRAINERS OF THE
Constitution put in the provision that
all cases against Ambassadors and
foreign ministers must originate in
the Supreme Court they did not
reckon on the Volstead Act. Senior
Joffre Bolivian diplomat benefited
from this immunity when his arrest
for carrying a bottle of alleged
intoxicants was prevented. The
young attache of the Bolivian
legation resented the questioning of
the policeman and got into fight
with him which resulted in injuries
to the policeman necessitating his
removal to a hospital The State
Department refused to comment on
