MRS COOLIDGE SPREADS CHEER
AMONG CHILDREN IN HOSPITAL
First Lady's Smiles and Flowers Bring
Much Joy to Little Patients, Who Well
come Her to institution.

\ panorama Of sick childhood. with
its anguish and it's smiles. its pathos
and it's native comedy, was unfolded
to the First Lady of the Land yester-
day afternoon when Childrens hos
plIattl, at Thirteenth and V streets
northwest, opened wide its doors to
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge.
Into this retreat of ailing children
the President wife, on her annual
Christmas visit, brought armloads OF
pink and red carnations from the
White House greenhouses to leave two
in each chubby little hand or on each
little white crib. And as she went
from ward to ward she scattered not
only flowers but sunshine with her
ready smile and her motherly interest
in each of the 102 little patients.
Arriving at the hospital about )
O'Clock, Mrs. Coolidge was welcomed
officially by Mrs. Frederick II. Brooke,
president of the board of lady visitors
and Mrs. Walter Stilson Hutchins'
member of the board. In addition to
these leaders in the hospital WORK
and Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, VINO
is chairman of the committee planning
the Charity Ball TO be given January
8 at the Willard Hotel. Mrs. Coolidge
was also accompanied on her visit by
officers of the board of lady visitors
and chairmen of committees OF the
board, the superintendent of the hos
pital, Miss Matte Gibson, and super
intendent of nurses, Miss Mary Car
mody.
Two rows of student nurses were
lined up to geet Mrs. Coolidge in the
hallway, attired In their crisp blue ano
white uniforms.
Brings Smiles to Children.
With the exception of "a few young
STEERS who We're in pain or fretful, Mrs
Coolidge was successful in bringing
smiles. One little tot, however. Ii
months old, Russell Robertson, whom
she picked up in her arms, screamed
and cried in great excitement unit
she had put him down. Mrs. Coolidge
remembered Russell from her visit last
year and spoke Familiarity to the little
! fellow.
Helen Andrews was another Of The
children remembered by Mrs. Coolidge
from a prior visit. She was pleased
when one of the little tots was askec
by one of the party, do you know
who this lady is?" to hear the re
Spouse, Yes. You are the wife of the

the stairs on the second floor. When
Mrs. Coolidge came from the elevator
he broke into q broad smile and was
greeted by her with great enthusiasm.
The distinguished visitor went to all
parts of the hospital, even peeped into
the isolated wards, where q few cases
of diphtheria are confined. She saw
the five little incubator babies in q
room divided into cubicles. where the
temperature was kept at 80 degrees.
The tiniest incubator baby weighed
two pounds.
But 1t was in the colored wards
where one of the most pathetic Incl:
dents occurred. One of the little girls,
who will never be able to swallow, but
has to be fed artificially through q
only hold a piece of candy in her
mouth.

Honey" said Mrs. Coolidge, Elf
had known that, / would have brought

explained, as the little brown face fell
In disappointment, that the little girl
could never swallow and would never
be able to enjoy this privilege Of all
other childhood joys.
Everywhere she went Mrs. Coolidge
found the babies bathed. freshly dress.
ed and fed their o'clock meal.
Among those in whom Mrs. Coolidge
showed much interest was Buddy

disposal of his candidates campaign
over 100000. These sums, in cash
and notes, were ascertained by your
committee from the reluctant testi-
mony of Grundy and William +. Fol

Fisher Republican citizens campaign
committee.
Then comes O detailed state Of
the Ware Beidleman expenditures, as

penditures of Beidleman committee.

Representative Ware testified" con-
tined the report, that his personal
expenditure of ST., 436, which amounts
to per cent OF the total expended in
the interest OF his candidacy, was en-
tirely spent for campaign letters. At
his estimate of 6Aa cents as the aver

THE largest reported items of ex-
penditures In each of the senatorial
primary candidates behalf was for
alleged publicity" letter writing,
newspaper and billboard advertising,
public speakers and the like.
1.-THE next largest item was for
watchers. This item will be covered
in a separate section of this report.
Money Not Accounted For"
1.-THE committee is reluctant to
characterize the testimony of wit
neSseS. 1t feels, however, compelled
to say that a number of the witnesses
who admitted they had turned over to
the Ware campaign committee various
large sums of money failed to salts
factorily account for the possession
of these moneys or the sources from
which the moneys were derived. In
other instances. witnesses claimed to
have carried large sums of money in
their pockets or to have had large
sums of money in safe deposit boxes.
and did not give TO the committee
convincing statements as to the
sources from which these moneys
were received or why they were thus
carried or kept. In other instances,
the alleged contributions were out of
all proportion to the income or flnan-
cial worth of these alleged con-
tributors. The testimony must be read
| to be fully appreciated. Only a few
| brief excerpts are herein set forth.
1.-THE largest individual contributor
to the Ware campaign appears from
| the testimony to be Robert M. Green.
