COOLIDGE AGAIN
 HAVINf VACATION
Settles Down After Week-End Of Conferences
ssl----.-ss--.ss-ss

Swampscott. Mass, July 13 Pl- President Coolidge settled down again today 10 the entoyment9ot his vacation after a week end devoted to conferences with Secretary Kel- logg on the Chinese and foreign debt situations.
 While the president apparently is not disturbed over recent develop ments in the far east, it was on- nounced by the secretary of state be- fore his departure late yesterday for Washington that the administration intended to insist on "a scrupulous observance of the obligations to China entered into at the Washing ton conterepce."
 The statement also was made by Secretary Kellogg that the United States was determined that the Chi nese government take adequate measures for the protection of for eigners and carry out her responsi- bilities under the treaty."
 Secretary Kellogg, who left here in company with Under Secretary of State Grew, did not enlarge on these observations but the indication was given that no time would be lost in carrying into effect the policy out lined.
 1 With preparations being made for the calling within three months of an international conference on Chi nese customs. as provided for under the nine-power treaty negotiated at the Washington conference, it was considered likely that activity so far as the American government was concerned would be centered in Washington Nlr. Coolidge will be kept informed of developments but details will be left to state depart ment officials, permitting the execu- tive to enjoy the rest and recreation he sought in coming to the seashore.
 The Chinese situation in such shape, so far as the Washington government is concerned, that Presi- dent Coolidge probably will not find occasion for further conferences at least for the present on the subject. He also has been informed by the secretary of state that settlement of foreign debts is progressing satis- factorily."
 A new angle to the Chinese situa- ton which awaits the presidents At- tention is an appeal made to him yesterday by the American federa- ton of labor. This petition asked that he help in obtaining for China the abolition Of extra-territorial rights nov exercised by foreign pow CTS in that country. It was contain cd in letter to the president from William Green. president of the fed eration.

THE HAPPY ESTATE By Alexander R, Morrison

Gee, but I'm glad I'm single
 like the way I live; My pay to some old ball and chain
 l do not have to give. If l wish to so out at night l do not have to have q fight; Nor do I creep in very light When l come back again Gee, but it Is a blessing
 To be so gay and free: I can go where l wish to go
 From New York to Farce. My home is where l hang my hat, l feed no chickens. dog or cat, I wipe my feet upon no mat Nor shovel coal or snow. Gee whiz, but ] am happy.
 No girl will capture me! ] plan to go right on through life
 As foot-loose as can be, I wear the latest classy clothes, Five-dollar ties. two-dollar hose; But were l married. goodness knows They'd all be on my wife

HERE IS SOMETHING TO
 WORRY ABOUT

At last, the champion pessimist' Not content with having predicted numerous earthquakes before they naturally occurred--last years ter TOT in Japan. the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, the earthquake in Turkey and supdry minor Eeis- mic disturbances --- pr. Milto" 4, Nobles, prophet Of earthquakes" again forewarns us, What will hap pen, perhaps in the lifetime of some persons now living will be cata- clysm that will submerge a third ef the earth's surface under the sea, he says, At the same time a new continent will arise, probably in the region Of the South Sea Islands.
 The doeful prognostication IS only partly amellorated by addenda- that the regions which will disap- pear into the sea will be Japan, China. parts of Southern Asia, northern Africa, most of Europe and a part of the Arctic lands. The United States apparently will re- main united.
 According 10 this direful prophe- cy, history will repeat itself, There appears to be evidence that there was large continent in the At lantic ocean, where the Sargasso sea at present is designated, The re- mains of pre- historic sea monsters i have been found in the heart of our continent, indicating to many that water once covered what is dry i land. These cataclysms happened before recorded historg begap-the 1 little span of history we know rep resents but a small portion of the earth's life. Geologists and scientists generally believe the surface of the earth has sufficiently cooled 10 keep the present land masses sitting tight; but Dr. Nobles doesn't agree. He declares that volcanic belts are honeycombed within the earth, that when Vesuvius erupts, Mt. Hecla, 2.So0 miles away in Iceland also blows off" and the lake level in the old orator of Mt. Wan in south western Asia Is lowered. And he points out that the recent earth tremors in Montana and California came about the same time, and he thinks they were caused by dis turbances in the same subterranean passa geways.
 Dr. Nobles is not alone in his distribution of geological pesslmism, however, although his colleagues about to be discussed base their de- ductions upon different premises. There are some geologists who point with alarm at the continual extrac- ton of petroleum from beneath the earths surface, declaring that bil- lions of barrels of fluid so taken will subtract necessary ballast from beneath the upper crust of the earth, and at some time there may be a huge cave-in.
 This old world seems in for much excitement in the years to come, Ii these prophets of evil are correct; but being Human, we hope they are deadly wrong. It is much nicer tc believe in the coming of a millennl- nm than in the coming of cata' clvms, We are thankful, however that these gentlemen do not predlc' anything more than ordinary earth nuakes in our time. If there Il truth in their claims, the telegraph worlds history will handle th' editors of a future period in the , calamities,

BICYCLE RIDING ON SIDEWALKS

: Boys who ride bicycles on the sidewalks are nuisance 10 pedes- trians, if not danger, especially when they push the pedals rapidly and perfunctorlly proclaim to startled pedestrians that they had . better get out Of the way in a hurry before getting hurt. 4 reader of the Herald wrote to the paper that conditions on Pleasant street have become nuisance and that it is high time the youthful riders were warned to cease.
 Bicycle riders, of course, are.in a peculiar predicament nowadays. Most Of them are boys, although there still are a few men who ride to and from work on bicycles To ride "wheels" IS entirely legal. but to operate them in many streets, where traffic is heavy, becomes an especially hazardous thing; to oper- ate them upon the sidewalks is against the law, Evidently a great many youngsters prefer to break the law rather than take chances on having their legs broken by auto mobiles in the streets
 But give the average youth an inch and he will take q mile. Many residents have no objection if a few youths operate bicycles upon the sidewalks in a careful and cautious manner, driving around pedestrians without giving them inconvenience But it is evident that just as soon as bicycles on sidewalks are tolrr- ated some of the riders immediately get the notion that they are more important upon the sidewalks than those who are waking thereon Wherever this occurs the practice can be quickly stopped by invoking the law. We should think that fl residents so afflicted telephone the police the department may be able to ind g spare man 10 watch fol youths who misuse the sidewalks
 Fewer bicycle riders have beer hurt by automobiles the past montl than has been the case in som" pre- ceding months Maybe his has beer due to the fact that recourse ha' been taken 10 the sal'ty of. the side. walks.
