President Coolidge hopes that Amer
leans abroad will make allowances
for conditions in the foreign coun-
tries they are visiting and will not
indulge in. any unwarranted criticisms
or any recriminations.
The position Of the president was
made clear in the matter ut the exec.
utive offices today without, however
any direct reference being made TO
the demonstrations that have occur
red against American tourists in
Doubt was expressed in behalf oi
the president whether too much at
tention need be paid to the situa-
tion that has been reflected in recent
press reports from Europe. The de-
sire Of the United States, it was
said, was to maintain friendly rela-
tions with all countries.
The desire Of the United States, II
was said, was 10 maintain friendly
relations with all countries and tht
belief was expressed that the attitude
of irresponsible persons of the United

Houdini.

Probably the first thought in most
minds, stimulated by the news of the
death of Eric Weiss. far better known
throughout the world as Harry Hou-
DIM. the magician" is. did he ever
tell how he did his tricks?" Did he
carry the secret of his marvellous
power to the grave?
For Houdini, to use the name
which, in imitation of famous per-
former of earlier times. he adopted
when he became we'll known as an
adept at iegerdemain, was unQuestion-
ably one of the most mystifying men
who ever lived. He claimed no super
natural powers. In fact. he derided
the thought Of such powers. and dur
ing the later years Of his life he en-
gagged In a bitter controversy with the
believers in occult phenomena in pro-
test against what is broadly called
mediumship.
IIoudini's speciality was the mastery
over shackles and confinements of
all kinds. Beginning with the loosen.

period when he was a circus per.

Hines, head of the Veterans Bureau,
in making public the figures, expresses

Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge travel in a
private train on their trip home to
Northampton to vote at a total
cost Of the price of two round
trip tickets. They occupy a sump-
tuous private car for the price
of two lower berths. Private citizens
pay about 500 day rental for a pri-
vate car. plus 25 full fares for every
mile the car moves. AS for a private
train, the. cost runs into the thou
sands. The railroad travel bills of
other Presidents has been big. They
have been charged regular rates. But
Mr.. Coolidge started something when
he made his first journey as President
in a drawing room of regular train.
The railroads baked at the risks.
When they found he would not hire
a private train they wanted to donate
him one, but the law forbids that. So
they accomplished the same result by
indirection. The Presidents train on
the railroad reports appears as sepa.

club car are added without extra
charge.
Emerging from her long period of
mourning, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson made
her first official public appearance in
Washington, since the death of her
husband, when she was the guest of
honor at a reception rendered her by
the Women's National Democratic
Club. Ostensibly the reception was to
welcome Mrs. Wilson home after her
six-month European visit. But the
affair was generally taken to mark
her entrance as an active participant
in the political councils of the Demo
Gratis. 1t is not anticipated that she
will assume any official position, but
rather that she will WELD henceforth

The tendency to express titles and
functions by grouped initial letters
has never been carried in this country
to the extreme that was the case in
England during the Great War, when
practically every official organization
and military unit and auxiliary service
was popularity known by a string of
letters. Commissions, boards. special
services and volunteer organizations
bore these titles in the form of new
letters.

make a word for pronunciation, but
that stands as q symbol and Is still
often used to indicate those who
crossed the Atlantic to fight.
This tendency to condense the war
time titles and designations was some
what significant Of the urgency Of the
occasion. There was thought Of the
need of saving time. In England the
war was so close at hand and every
body was at such high pitch that these
short cuts expressed the intensity OF
the emergency. On this side that ten
sion was somewhat less in evidence,
and although some of the extraor-
binary official bodies that grew out of
the war had their letter names, as
rule there was little OF the alphabetic
abbreviation.

scope until he challenged the world to
devise a method Of restraint which he
could not solve. So far as known he
won every contest.
This remarkable person was always
n Snowman, an entertainer, and an in
defatigable and exceptionally success
full advertiser. He gained his great
prestige by the employment Of sensa-
tional feats performed in public. In
London he bested Scotland Yards
most skilled shacklers and thereby
won an engagement for six months
at the leading music hall Of that city.
He had developed the art Of adver-
Using to the highest pitch.
Although he wrote several books,
Houdini never actually told his secret.
Perhaps he could not formulate It.
Some will probably always believe that
despite his own demur he was gifted
with supernormal powers. Some will
hold that he was possessed of extraor.
binary qualities of bone and muscle.
Whatever the secret of his perform
ance, it left beholders gasping in
amazement. He did things that ac-
cording to all the laws Of nature ap-
parently could not be done. Yet he
did them. And now he is dead with

injury received in the course of per-
Torrance, sighted until it developed
into u deadly malady from which he
could not recover. The shackles of
death conquered him at last.

Mussolini Lives in Danger.

Benito Mussolini's followers in Italy
believe that he has a charmed life,
that he is protected from death at the
hands of an assassin by a providential
Intervention to preserve him for his
work of redeeming the country. There
is abundance of evidence that he is ia.
vored by fortune in this respect. On
four known occasions he has been
spared from death by the narrowest
Of margins, and two other attempts
upon his life are reported, though
they are not definitely established.
The latest attack upon him was com.
mitted yesterday at Bologna, where a
youth fired point blank at the "Duce,"
missing his body by the slightest frac-
ton Of an inch, slicing his outer gar.
ment. The assailant was Immediately
seized by mob Of frenzied people and
beaten and stabbed to death before
the guards could intervene.
On November S, 1925, Mussolini was
saved from death by q close margin.
Information had come to the authori.
ties that he was to be fired upon from
a balcony opposite that on which he
was to appear for a speech in Rome.
A few minutes before the time for his
appearance police raided a hotel room
and captured a man with a high
power rifle equipped with telescope
sights which he had trained upon the
place where Mussolini was to stand.
On April last q deranged English
woman fired at him as he was leaving
session of the Congress of Surgeons
in Rome, wounding him in the face.
On the 10th of September last bomb
was thrown at him as he was riding
in Rome, but it bounded off the thick
glass of the window and fell into the
street and exploded, Wounding num-
ber of bystanders. The assailant was
captured. Yesterdays was the fourth
attack within a year.
Circumstantial accounts of two
other attempts upon Mussolini's life
"eIc iii L SI1 ID All <API1, 1870.
One alleged that one of the royal
guards at the Chigi Palace had fired
at and missed the premier. who wrest-
ed the weapon from his assailant' S
hand and later caused him to be lib
Grated. The other tale was that In
driving back to Rome from the coun.
try Mussolini had taken the wheel to
relieve the chauffeur when shot was
fired, intended for the premier. but
killing the chauffeur. the assassin
escaping. No official veriflcation of
these attacks was ever made.
When. shortly after the attack upon
him by Miss Gibson, Mussolini went
to Tripoli, his closest friends tried to
dissuade him from making the trip,
in view Of the peril. He answered, II
have chosen Live in danger as the
slogan of my life" Assuredly he is

This young man represents a very
large number who are unaware Of the
great strides the United States has
made in putting its foreign offices
upon a high plane.
The Rogers act. which became ef-
fective in 1924. combined the work of
the diplomatic service and the consu.
lar service under the head of the
