Let State Enforce LalO,
Says President Coolidge

Westinghouse the great white am
phitheater at Arlington President Cool
idge delivered Memorial day address
which was in effect an appeal to those
now living to preserve and protect the
principles of government for which
the men and women buried on the
sloping hillsides all around him had
given their lives.
His appeal, delivered not only to his
hearers gathered at Arlington but by
radio to the whole people of the coun-
try, was for the preservation of the
principle of local self-government as
the basis of free nation, and he ex-
pressed regret at the tendency of the
states to evade responsibility by rely
ing on the national administration.
This way, he warned, leads to trouble.
Between the marble pillars of the
amphitheater great American flags
waved softly, in slanting lines of bril-
liant color. Before the President and
the little group of officials on the plat
form sat the veterans of our past wars
the handful Of white-haired men of
the G. A. R., who had charge of the
memorial services; the veterans of the
war with Spain and of the World war,
and as many of the American people
as had been able to find places within
the amphitheater.

nothing" Who would keep Klaas him

"Good-by, Roelf" She took the boys

to go. "Wait a minute. Wait a
minute" She had a few dollars--in
quarters, dimes, half dollars-perhaps
ten dollars in all-hidden away in a
canister on the shelf. She reached for
it. But when she came back with the
box in her hand he was gone.
