MASH NOTES FLOOD
 WHITE HOUSE MAIL
Sent to John Coolidge, But
 CenSOrS Get Elm First

By J. HERBERT DUCEWORTH Exclusive Dispatch, Copyright, 1926
 Washington, Sept. 2S (EFS)- The number of mash letters written by admiring, romantic and ambitious young females in all parts of the United States 10 John Coolidge has reached such alarming proportions that President Coolidge has felt obliged to invoke the aid of censors to weed out this part of his sons incoming correspondence.
 All mail addressed to John Cool idgo. Jr.. at the White House is now being opened, and all com munications that come under the designation of mash notes" are promptly consigned to the waste pa per basket. Letters sent to young Coolidges school are attended to by the secret service.
 President Coolidge would like a i little economy practiced by the hopeful females who send these perfumed missives, often accom- panied by photographs Of the writ CT, to his son. He considers it not only a waste of note paper, ink, pen points and sachet powder to write these silly notes to his son, but also an imposition on the employees of the post office department to have their orderly routine useless ly taxed by handling this trash. John Angry At First
 This tampering with the mail is not being done because the presi- dent has any fear that his son is likely to be ensnared by any con- spring napper. Young Coolidge is a particularly sensible young man. He is much more interested in box ing than betting. The presidents sole idea in interfering with the lih- erty of his son in this manner is that he may not have his time wasted by being obliged to read hundreds of unsolicited love letters daily.
 John Coolidge. + is understood was at first highly indignant at this parental restriction Of his free dom. He felt he was old enough 10 be trusted 10 take care Of his own letters.
 A quiet explanatory talk from dad. however. convinced the boy that his good sense was not being questioned, and that the censor ship was imposed for an cmincntly practical reason, to wit, 10 save the precious time that would be r,nprofitably spent in merely open ing the letters, let alone in reading the contents.
 Young Coolidge saw the point, and said that it was all o, K. with him.

 The question was transmitted to Everett Sanders, secretary to the president.
