Miss Riley is Queen
Presidents Summer
Kitchen in Country

Ipswich, Mass, July 2f.-H)-
Fried CLAIMS like mother made may
be part of the menu of President
Coolidges family with the advent of
Miss Ellen Riley as housekeeper.
While her duties are not directly
with the preparation of food, Miss
Riley, in twenty years residence in
Ipswich, has acquired an expert
knowledge of the preparation of
clans, for Ipswich is noted for its
dunes and it's clans. She has a
preference for the clans as prepared
by her mother.
Lover of Outdoors
Although her father, William J.
Riley, is secretary of the Ipswich
chamber of commerce, Miss Riley is
so averse to publicity that as soon
as she learned that she was likely
to receive the appointment as house
keeper for the Coolidge family, she
carefully hid her only photograph
and declined to tell reporters any
thing about herself.
Among her friends this unassum-
ing woman, who is tall, sturdily
built and has black hair and grey
eyes, is known as quiet, genial and
efficient, lover of the outdoors and
of animals and an accomplished
pianist and singer. Walking is her
principal recreation.
Trained as Dietitian
Miss Riley was trained for the
work of dietitian at the Women's
Educational and Industrial Union in
Boston. At different times during
the World War she was in charge
of government canteens and cafe
terias at Princeton and Hampton
Roads. For the last seven years
she has managed the employees res
taurant of r.. IL. Stearns and Com
pany, the Boston department store
with which Frank w. Stearns. close
friend of President Coolidge, is con-
nected.
She has always assisted in the
household work but has left most
of the cooking to her mother. She
has not had her hair bobbed. She
does not dance.
Keeps Old Hat
For years her favorite companion
on her hikes was an Irish terrier
which she had raised from a puppy.
''She was broken up when that
terrier died" said her father. "That
is, he didn't up and die. He was too
old and one day l took him along
with me and never brought him
back"
After her appointment was made
public one of her neighbors sug-
gested to her that probably she
would be getting a new hat.

laughing reply.

Fire Fighters Aided
BY Beavers Dam

st. Paul, July 26.-(P)- Because
water from beaver dam enabled
desperate forest rangers to extin-
guish stubborn forest fire. a new
and staunch friend has been added
to the beaver family's long list of
Minnesota admirers.
Ranger Mike Guthrie told how
after a two-day battle his crew had
subdued a three-mi long fire. with
the exception of a stretch along a
ravine, when the blaze showed signs
of again escaping control.
Noticing the dam a short distance
above the burning ravine the rang
ers ripped a hole in the embank-
ment and released torrent of
water that soon made history of the
fire.
The frightened family Of beavers
witnessed destruction of the para
disc which they had labored months
in building. But the fire fighters
had scarcely gone when the indus
trious little animals set to work to
repair the damage.
Now" Guthrie reported. "tha
beavers have patched their dam and
are none the loser for having lost
the supply of water. This co0ffrms
my belief that no beaver should be
taken except in most extreme
cases"
