President Coolidge has recently ffl-

nArily concerned with the operation

sfdering the quiet Of his mountain

the President Is deeply interested in
the preparation Of the budget esti.
mates for the next fiscal year, and he
has indicated that he wants to see
cUntinued economy in the making Of
the estimates. not only by the War
Department, but by all the depart
nlents OF the Government. He made
this plain in his recent address before
the meeting Of the business organtza-
ton Of the Government, and those
associated with him expect him per-
sonally to zee to it that this policy Is
carried out by those who are 10 pre-
pare and pass on the departmental
estimates. -
