President and Mrs Coolidge
Are Hosts to Children
Of Washington

Washington, April 5.--tR)--Cares
Of state were thrust as far as possi-
BILE in the background ut the White
House today to permit President and
Mrs. Coolidge to az. us hosts to the
children of Washington at the annual
Easter egg rolling on the sioplng
lawns south Of the executive mansion.
Preparations had been carefully
made TO care for thousands Of the
little participants in the annual
games. the origin Of which seems
lost in obscurity.
The morning was reserved for
children not more than 10 years of
age, each family group being limited
to one adult to care for the youngs-
tiers. The customary invitation for
the afternoon, however, gave the
older folk chance to participate.
with a marine band concert arranged
to wind up the festivities.
Except during the world war, the
White House grounds have been Civ
en- over to the children annually for
the egg rolling for so years. Before
that, the children had their Easter
games on the steep slopes of the cap
itol grounds. So much damage was
done to the turf, however, that cpn-
gress in 1876 prohibited all use Of
these grounds for children's play.
President Grant thereupon issued
an invitation for the games to be
played at the White House, and his
successors have continued the Gus

The resolution also recommends

Favor Credit Bureau
There was considerable discussion
on the subpect of one banw notifying
others of fraud committed upon it
and also on the subject of a credit
bureau, all of which was covered in
the resolution adopted.
1t was explained that the idea of
the credit bureau was to prevent peO-
pie pyramiding loans in different
banks. 1t was argued that such a
system would not do injury to the
man with good credit, but it would
prevent a man with poor credit plac-
ing notes in various banks.
The plan talked over was to have
such a branch in Wilmington and
probably in Dover and Georgetown or
wherever there is a considerable
group of banks doing business. A
committee composed of John NJ. Men
dinhall of the Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Company of Whining
ton, H. Buckson of the Delaware

DEFORE the senate finance commit

the Mellon tax bill for discussion on
the floor Of that august body, the tidy
sum Of $50 million dollars was snugly
esconsced in the wallets Of those who
have never enough Of the coin, of the
realm to justify their worrying over
tax bills. MELONS plan saved them
that amount. Democrats and repub-
licans buried their respective hatchets
in the necks of those who have very
little more than their chains to lose.
The sham fight between these two
parties of capitalism was transformed
into a love feast when the question
Of saving money for the capitalists
was on the table.

ruling the roost at present. They
are class conscious and know what
they want. The great mass of work
