White Houseward' the star of Am
herst continues to take it's course.
Not counting either of those unofficial
habitues of the Executive Mansion,
Frank W. Stearns and Dwight W.
Morrow, there are now three sons OF
the Purple and White headquartered
there. Calvin Coolidge and his per
sonal secretary, Edward 7. Clark, are
two of them, and F. S. Crawford, just
appointed chief clerk, is the other.
That makes enough to give a consid-
cradle volume of sound to the Am
herst college yell, if anybody can con-
ceive of the President joining in any
thing so explosive. Mr.. Crawford was
graduated from Amherst in the class
of 1897. In addition to the academic
tie that binds him to Mr.. Coolidge,
the new chief clerk has had close
up Of Republican politics for many
to join the White House staff, Charles
D. Hilles. Republican national COM
mitteeman from New York, was
President Taft's secretary from 1911
to 1918. The Amherst bloc at Wash
ington includes Associate Justice Har-
Ian F. Stone.
Charles Warren. Democrat and
Washington lawyer - and therefore
not to be confused with Charles
Beecher Warren of Michigan, who fell
afoul Of the United States Senate last
March-is the author of the latest
treatise on Congress, the Constitu-
ton and the Supreme Court" Mr..
Warren's book, which is just off the
press, includes a brief description of
every case in which the Supreme
Court has held an act of Congress
tot a
description of the cases decided by the
court, whether on constitutional
grounds or otherwise, especially af-
fecting labor. This observer discovers
a worthy novelty about the Warren
opus. 1t is written in language
which, while exact, may be easily un-
derstood by every layman, as well as
by lawyers. The authors Supreme
Court in United States History" was
in 1922 awarded the Pulitzer prize
| for the best book on American his
tory produced that year.

] Blaiklock, J. P, recorder of Gran

has just embarked upon a 100000
building program. "Inasmuch as ours
| was the first temperance hospital in
/ the world,'' says Mr.. Blaiklock, land
the United States is the first country
in the world to outlaw the liquor traf-
| f1c, we feel that the American Ma
| ton might like to give the money to
| build the new memorial wing as a
permanent monument of friendship
| between our two peoples Among
| the innovations introduced by the
London Temperance Hospital from the
| hour of it's foundation in 1873 was the
| Punishment of all forms of alcohol

ease. The English jurists's son is the
