SABLOTSKY WOULD END
 STREET NAME MIDDLE
Will Ask Council to Act on Confusion Now
 Existing

A check-up of the city's streets ito be followed by elimination of in names and changes wherever there is similarity like 1y 10 create confusion. will be recom- mended to the common council at the next meeting by Councilman Samuel Sablotsky.
 The sixth ward representative feels the matter is of such import ance as to make it advisable to make changes without delay. In explanation he points to the possi- bility of fire apparatus being des- patched to the wrong end of the city when eXcitable persons fail to give complete information before hang ing up telephones; difficulties in de- livery of mail. and inconvenience and confusion on the part of visit ors.
 While he appreciates the possi- bility that many will dislike having changes made in the names of streets on which they have resided or owned property for several years, Councilman Sablotsky believes the added protection and convenience that will ultimately be theirs will offset this objection.
 Discussing his proposed check-up today, Councilman Sablotsky point ed to the following groups of sim liar street names:
 Beach street and Beech street; two Bond streets; Blake road and Blake court; Burritt street and Bur ritt court; Corbin avenue and Cor bin place; Chapman street and Chapman court; Daly avenue and Daly street: Dix avenue and Dix street; Dover road and Dover street; Dwight street and Dwight court; Err. win street, Erwin court and Erwin place; Franklin street and Franklin square; two Florence streets; Grove street and Grove Hill; Highland street and Highland terrace; Lake street, Lake court and Lake boule- yard; Lasalle street and Lasalle court: Lincoln street and Lincoln court; Park street, Park place, Park boulevard and Park terrace: Pearl court and Pearl street; Seymour avenue and Seymour street; Stan ley court. Stanley place and Stan ley street; Washington place and Washington street.
 If the city approves Sablotsky's plan he will urge that the city plan commission or board of public works be vested with power to refuse pro- perty developers the privilege of naming a new street with the same name as that of an existing street or with a similar name.

PRESIDENT URGES
 SYMPATHETIC VIEW
Asks American Tourists tO Make
 Allowances in Europe
ALWAYS CAN COME HOME
Says If Americans Do Not Like Things Abroad They Can Come Back and Spend Money Here Talks of Business Too.

Paul Smiths, N. Y, July 27 Up- President Coolidge hopes that Americans abroad will make all lowances for conditions in the foreign countries they are visiting and will not indulge in any un- warranted criticisms or any re- criminations.
 Makes Position Clear
 The position of the president was made clear in the matter at the executive offices today, without, however, any direct reference being made to the demonstrations that have occurred against American tourists in France.
 Doubt was expressed in behalf of the president whether too much attention need be paid to the situa- tion that has been reflected in recent press reports from Europe. The desire of the United States, he said. was to maintain friendly relations with all countries and the belief was expressed that the attitude of irresponsible persons of the United States or foreign countries should not be treated too seriously.
 It Is necessary, it was added. for Americans abroad to realize at this time that people of some countries are in a different situation and it should be the part of Americans to view their difficulties with sympathy.
 Some American tourists. it was said, are of a somewhat bumptious nature and if that type obtains some education and discovers that there are other people in the world who are entitled to some consideration, not much harm will be done.
 Always Can Return
 If the more responsible type of American finds things abroad un- satisfactory, it Is asserted, there is always the remedy for them to come and spend their money here.
 Talks of Business
 Business conditions of the country are more than meeting expectations, in the opinion of President Coolidge.
 It had been thought, it was said In behalf of Mir. Coolidge. at the ex- ecu.ive offices today but there might be something of slowing down in industry this .jear but this has not materlalized with the first
