MRS. COOLIDGE FINDS USEFUL FURNITURE IN
 WHITE HOUSE ATTIC

WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr BOA program for renovation of the White House this spring affords Mrs. Cool idge her first real opportunity to doll the executive mansion up to her tastes
 Congress has appropriated $50,000 for the repair of the house, but most of this will be spent in renovating the decorations and furnishings, and practically all of the work will be done on the first floor in the semi public rooms.
 While Mrs. Coolidge will have the choice of materials. it is believed she will follow custom and retain the standards in colors and designs es- abolished for these rooms by Mrs. Roosevelt.
 Operations in the beginning will be centered on the Green Room, which succumbed to the flirtations of the sun several years ago and faded to a jaded brown. The Red and Blue Rooms are in comparatively good condition and slight changes will be made in them Some upholstering will be done, and the rugs changed.
 Other funds will be expended on modernizing the elevator, remodeling the plumbing and vacuum cleaner system, painting the floors and re- placed rugs in many rooms, including the Presidents study.
 Mrs. Coolidge already is rivaling her husbands fame for economy. Practically no new furniture has been bought by her, but recently she wis ited the White House store house and resurrected two pieces which had been discarded. One was a table, inset with brass diagonal pieces, one of which was missing. This piece was restored, and Mrs. Coolidge has been complimented several times by visitors on the result.
 She also picked up in the store house an old fashioned Comfortable chair, bearing a tag which identified it as President Jackson's shair." It is now in the Presidents study.

BECUILED BY RADIO
 ENGLAND MAY LOSE
 LOVE FOR LITERATURE
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Apr. 30.-Lured by the relative ease of listening to the radio and watching moving pictures, con- pared to reading a book, people to- day are threatened with the loss of their taste for literature, according to Sir Frederick Kenyon, librarian at the British museum. The will to take the necessary trouble to ac- quire knowledge seems to be on the wane, Sir Frederick ayers; the hab- it of continuous and concentrated at- tention is being lost, or is not being formed, and there is danger lest the faculty of it be atrophied by disuse.
 The ordinary newspaper reader for some time past has collected much of his information from headlines and pictures, and in the evenings, instead of reading a book, he will listen to the radio or amuse himself. with a photograph, declares Sir Frederic, pointing out also that it is less trouble to look at a picture or listen to the radio than to read an article or settle down to a serious book. "The direct appeal through the eye and ear," he says, threat ems to supersede the indirect ap- proach to the intelligence through he written word.
 T do not want to appear too pes simistic, or to depict the next gener- alton as sitting with it's eyes glued to films and it's ears strapped to head phones, and as having lost the knowledge of how to read a book. There are more people now who read. A small minority of these read good books, and that small minority may be actually larger than the total reading public of century ago. But the constant danger to the superfi- ciality involved in the omnipresent appeals to eye and ear. Many men and women who had some acuuaint- ance with literature in their youth lose the habit through carelessness. or the pressure of work, and in mid dle life they find that the taste is gone and cannot be recovered"
 The trustees of the British muse um, Sir Frederic announced, have been endeavoring for some time, to use photography in the form of lan- tern slides and sets of picture post cards to promote and assist the study
