John Coolidge. despite the impress
| sion which has gained circulation to
the contrary, is the first Presidents
! son ever to have a Secret Service
guard. 1t was not until Mr.. Hard
! ing's advent into the White House
that the wife of a President had a
! regular guard assigned to her. Presi-
| dental wives before Mrs. Harding 8
brief reign were given Secret Service
protection only when they were ac-
companying their husbands. or upon
some especial occasion which demand
| ed such an arrangement. Mrs. Hard
| ing. who was a very active woman.
when well. liked the idea of guard
| all her own. Mrs. Coolidge has con-
| tinued the practice.
/ The law making appropria tions for
| the Secret Service division Of the
| Treasury Department was changed
to include the protection. not only Of
the President. but the members Of his
immediate family. In this way wives
and daughters and sons all have the
privilege Of official protection when
ever they desire It. Unlike his wife.
President Harding disliked the con-
stant surveillan nee Of his protectors
and resigned himself to it with no
little reluctance.
Among what may be called the
| modern Presidents there have been
| boys In the White House in only two
administrations prior to the present
one. They were the Roosevelt boys
and the Taft boys.
The Roosevelt boys. Theodore, Quen-
tin and Kermit. like their illustriOus
father had a bully time" in the
White House. They were all over the
place and even would go roller skat-
ing on the expensive copper roof.
There never at any time was a sug-
gestiOn of a guard for them. at home
or at school. They were taught the
manly art of self-defense by their
daddy. who loved the padded mitts
himself. They early became Junior
exponents of the strenuous life.
The Taft boys. Robert and Charley.
were Of two separate types. Robert
was a rather solemn and sedate boy;
Charley was full Of life and carefree.
Both went away to school during their
fathers administration. Neither was
ever guarded.
Having lost their younger son, CAT
win, ir, it is natural that Mr.. and
Mrs Coolidge should be perhaps over
solioitous about John, who is as manly
and as popular as any Of the boys who
preceded him In the Executive Man
sion. John always has been ex-
tremely popular with the younger set
in Washington during his school holi-
days. He is fond Of dancing. His
boy and girl friends are wondering

Chicago's Gangsters.

A few days ago, soon after fhe gang.
sterS of Chicago had staged another
ambuscade in which rival criminals
were killed and wounded, 1t was an
nounced that the bad men of that city
had buried the hatchet and concluded
a treaty of peace and would hence
forth "live and let live" each group
from interference with others. This
statement caused much concern to be
felt by the peaceable citizens Of Chi
cago, who have come to regard the
curity from raids and robberies and
murders. Quickly thereafter. however,
came an explosion which destroyed
one Of the gangmen, acting leader
awaiting trial for killing rival gun.
man. There was a brief sense of re.
lief. Had the gangsters broken their
truce and were they once again at
one another's throats? But no. Closer
examination of the affair disclosed the
fact that the ,atomiZed ruffian had
merely been hoist by his own petard"
as he was about to break into a store

aid the defense of his imprisoned chief.
He was just unlucky. or heavy handed
In his handling Of the soup"
Every time one of these tragedies oc-
ours 1t Is officially stated on behalf of
the Chicago police that the gangsters
are we'll known. BY some means or
other the police seem to know all the
intricacies of the inter-gang relation

their affiliations. And yet there is no
general raid upon them. There has
been no roundup Of the underworld
Of crime. The only determined prosecu-
tions are those conducted against the
gangsters who are implicated in as
saults upon other gangsters.
Chicago has lot of explanation to
make in this connection. Why is it
that these confirmed crooks are able

that the danger from it's careless or
