COOLIDGE INVITATION
POINTS TO ROMANCE
Gov. and Mrs. Trumbull, Parents
of Friend of Johns. to Visit
White House
BY the Associated Press


HARTFORD. Conn, January 27.-
Gov. John II. Trumbull and Mrs.
Trumbull will be the guests of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge in Washing
ton next week, after which they will
60 to Florida for a few weeks. The
governor and his wife will arrive at
the White House on Wednesday and
remain through the week end.
The invitation extended to the Trum-
bulls by the President recalls the
friendship which has sprung up be-
tween Miss Florence Trumbull. the gov
ernor's daughter and the President s
son John. Miss Trumbull is stu
dent at Mount Holyoke College, and
John Coolidge is attending Amherst
College, educational institutions less
than 10 miles apart.
The two met on a train which was
taking the Connecticut delegation to
to the inaugural exercises in Wash
ington last March. When the governor
learned that John Coolidge was a pas
senger on the train he invited the
young man to the compartment occu-
pied by the Trumbull family.
The Presidents son was guest at
the Trumbull home during the Easter
vacation last year.

THE alimony law is unsatisfactory, -
said she, because it applies to the
wealthy classes of our society. The
proletarian is hardly able to support
himself and cannot support a divorced
wife and children. Receiving alimony
from a former husband also humili-
ates the woman. 1t would be better to
establish an insurance fund for moth
ers and children, supported by a pro-
gressive tax upon workmen. The state
then would be able to pay collective
alimony only to mothers with depend
ent children"

"The world needs food and Texas

led all states last year, but the sur

they must have a market to sell. BY

ket." 7 - Chaplin declared.
The soil of Texas is infinitely bet
ter suited TO the growth of products
that are canned and preserved for the

The growers of California have sue

"The sandy land section Of Texas
