Coolidge Economy.


A little early perhaps, but if Cool
idge keeps on his present course the
Herald will join the first to say -four
years more" To date Coolidge econ
omy has lowered the federal income
taxes to about a fifth what they were
just following the war. In connection
with economy Coolidge says:
Il favor the policy of economy, not
because l wish to save money, but be-
cause l wis hto save people. The men
and women of this country who toll
are the ones who bear the cost of gov
eminent. Every dollar that we care
lessly waste means that their life will
be so much the more meager. Every
dollar that we prudently save means
that their life will be so much more
abundant"
The best part of the whole thing is
that the president practices what he
breaches. A good, safe, sane, silent
man.

CHAPTER XII

Though his eyes, like live Goals
glowered with sullen fire at the strip
of sand and rocks in front, his troub-
led brain paid perfunctory heed to his
task. The stern sense of duty, the in
grained force of long years of soldier
ly discipline and thought. compelled
him to watch and ward over his fort
ress, but he could not help asking
himself what would happen if Iris
were seriously wounded.
There was one enemy more potent
than these skulking Dyaks, a foe more
irresistible in might, more pitiless in
his strength, whose assaults would tax
to the utmost powers of resistance.
In another hour the sun would be
high i nthe heavens, pouring his ar
dent rays upon them and drying he
blood in their veins.

refreshing and effective as per-

for using it this way, particularly

1t was understood today that a

about twelve years in age. with a

DOVER, Aug 5.-Tens of thou

intrepid sportsman, whose attempt
to swim the English channel

Nearly IL Hours in Water
Colonel Freyburg had been in the
water swimming sixteen hours ana

attempt. His pilots had told him
he would have to remain in the
channel another four hours In order
to get ashore, even though he was
only a quarter of a mile off the

of the enthusiastic shouts Of his
countrymen gathered there.
After receiving this discouraging
information the gallant swimmer
renewed his battle with the waves,
but was driven back nearly mile.
1t was not until then that he

He was groggy and exhausted
and it would have been impossible
for him to continue against an ad'

northeast Of San Francisco, was
being sought by the police Of the
