Coolidge's Speeches
Invite Thought

the rare speeches that he makes President Coolidge
performs the most important of his many important
functions President. These speeches give direc-
ton public thought That will count more in the end
than all the laws and all the acts of the administration
Public thought is the basis and the background of
administrative acts.
His latest speech, calling for a religious revival fol-
lows closely on his great Omaha speech for religious
tolerance. 1t is the complement to the Omaha speech.
It. too is great speech sound speech, and, coming
from President Coolidge, it, too will bear fruit.
Among sef-caed intellectuas there will be dissent
from the Presidents statement that there is basis for
morality except that which comes from religion. Men
of sound intellect will give devout welcome to that state
ment 1t should and will check those whose vision Of
the spiritual is obscured by the whrng phantasmagora
of modern material progress, and who would if they
could lead this country into paths that always have led
and always will lead downward.
An unhappy dilemma seemed to face the American
people in the implications drawn from the famous
Scopes trial at Dayton last On the one hand
intolerance seemed to seek the imposition of kind Of
religion upon the States system of education On the
other rregion seemed striving to prove that the rea
onshp of man to God had place in institutions.
Perhaps neither implication exactly fair to Bryan
and 10 Darrow. But thoughtful people worrying
about it.
President Coolidges two speeches have solved this
dilemma Intolerance will have tough shedding after his
Omana speech IrreIgon VIII make scant progress III
the face of what he told the Council of the Congrega
tional church the other day.
He has given heart of hope to the vast of
Americans who ARE tolerant, who ARE religious. He
has speeded that current of real American Intellectual
ism which has been deeply concerned by the obvious
falling off in morality that has followed the abandon
ment of religion in many hearts.
When of President Coodge's unqueston-
able Amercanism sets forth the need of coupling moral
training with intellectual training if intellectual train
ing is not to be danger rather than benefit the ire
lgous deprived of of their strongest and of
their falsest arguments.

Figures Of Speech
"Hob Mob"

Probably we have all heard, and
used, the expression, ito hob mob"
It means to meet as cronies, or
pals. to associate on familiar
terms.
To be hob and mob together
meant, in the ancient use Of the
term, "to drink as cronies. to clink
glasses" In the old English houses
there was a hob at each corner Of
the hearth for heating the beer, or
holding what one wished to keep
hot. The name was derived from
the verb "Habban," TO hold. Tho
little round table set at the elbow
was called a mob; hence, to hob
now was to drink snugly and cozily
in the chimney corner, with the
beer hobbed, and a little mob table
set in the snuggery.
There is another old phrase, "to
drink hob or mob, or hob a mob"
which means to drink alternately to
each other.

TALKS TO MOTHERS
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner OF Health, New York City.

During the past month l have
tried to make clear to you the mean
ing Of a baby's cry. 1 have done
this because you must not look upon
crying as Of no significance. A
young baby has learned little of the
artful things which may be INDUCED
in when it grows up. In infancy
the child reacts naturally and nor
mally. Every one Of its perform
ances means something definite to
the trained observer.
II you have read this series OF
articles, you realize how much the
loving and alert mother can learn
from the cry of her baby. She is
in direct communication with its
sources of strength or weakness. The
cry tells her what is wrong and, in
most instances, what should be done
to remove the cause Of trouble.
The cry Of a healthy child is full
and clear. 1t is not muffled or SUBJ
dued. II is not a wall or a moan.
1t is an honest-to-goodness yell.
There is nothing modest or retir-
ing about a normal infant When
it is displeased or in pain 1t does
not hesitate TO vocalize its pro-
test.
When you and / weep, great tears
roll down our cheks and splash on
the floor. When a young infant
cries there are no tears. Not until
it is three or four months old do
real tears appear. The eyes may
appear moist, but there is no escape
Of fluid.
When the child grows older the
tears are observed. Above the age
of three or four months their abb
sencc is worthy an explanation.
After they have once made their ap-
pearance, if the child is sick and the
tears disappear, it is sign of scri-
GUS illness. You may be treasured
and confident that recovery Is on
the way when they reappear.
In certain diseases the child may
be very sick and yet cry but little.
For instance, in pneumonia or bron-
chitis, in any disease where the free
passage of air to the lungs is inter-
fered with, there may be little cry
ing, even IL there is a good deal OF
pain. The baby cannot stop breath
! ing long enough to cry-it requires

All men are born unequal.

All men are born unequal.
The equality of humans is limit
ed to one thing-time.
Henry Ford, President Coolidge
and the tramp asleep on the park
bench all have twenty-four hours to
use each day. no more and no less.
Every man has so many years to
live. some a few more than others,
but when the end approaches the
machine wears out and neither
power, fame nor wealth can add a
year.
The only equality is equality Of
time-time to work. time to strug-
gle. time to achieve.
No one will be held accountable
for not becoming president Of the
United States. but he is account
able for not making the best use
possible Of his time.
BENJAMIN Franklin used the
years of his life so well that from
a humble beginning he rose to be
one of the wealthiest and wisest
men of his age.

stuff Of life"

Bug Makes Good
By "The Spectator"

This is a new kind of success
shtory.
1t is the story of a bug that
made good.
During the past week several items
have appeared in the papers Civ
ing publicity TO a Woodworking,
humble minded little insect.
When it is out in polite society,
with its red coat and nine black but
tons all shined up, the learned ad-
dress it by the hyphenated, full
dress name of Coccinella Septem-
Punctuata.
Down in the orchard where It
does an honest days work it is
known as the Ladybug.
The ladybug began looking around
in this land of opportunity for an
opening years ago.
At first there seemed little bug
as small as it was could DO, no
matter bow ambitious it was.
Then it saw opportunity in the
orchards.
The little aphids or plant lice
were endangering the trees. 1t
started in 70 destroy them with all
its might.
For years il worked without re-
ceiving any recognition.
Then from time TO time little
items about its work began 10 drift
from the orchardist's journals. Once
in a while a kind word Of apprecia-
ton was voiced and then a few
folks began TO offer a helping hand.
And now after years Of toll this
humble little red bug holds the re-
spect and gratitude of orchsrdists
the world over.
In France ladybuss are held
Synonymous with good luck and
children are told not % ill'treat
them. The latest mascot in Paris is
an imitation lodybug mounted on a
stickpin.
A man in wenatchee, Washing
ton, is known as the "Ladybug
King Of the Northwest"
He goes into the Cascade Noun
tains each spring where the little
beetles hibernate and brings them
down to sell TO orchsrdists who
plant" one thousand Of them 10 the
acre.
He reports q shortage Of about
six million ladybugs this spring.
The demand for services is great
er than can be filled.
This shortage of humble little
bug is really felt because Il has
made itself useful. done one thing
well and has become indispensable.
Il has demonstrated the qualities
which bring success and reputation
the world over.
