OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From National Editorial Association
(Snecial To Chrnniclel


Washington, September 22-With
the President re-established in the
White House Washington takes on
its normal aspects. The return of the
Chief Executive directly after the
smoke of primary battles has clear
ed away brings troubles to his door.
In addition to his multitude of du-
ties as head of the nation he is ex-
pected to be an arbiter and peace
maker in partisan squabbles. Cool
idge renews his official life in Wash
ington, after vacation period, with
out happy prospects. Fortunately he
is so constituted as not to be great
ly disturbed over the problems of
state and party which confronts
him.
1t is not necessary to offer an
apology for Presidents, regardless of
their party affiliations, to say that
they are generally held responsible
for the defeat of certain candidates
at the primaries and elections. There
are candidates for Office who attempt
to overcome their own shortcomings
by espousing certain fixed policies
of the Chief Executive, and infer
that their defeat be a reputation of
the nominal party leader. This was
true with Wilson as it is with Cool
idge. Politics makes strange bed
fellows.
One of the important subjects un-
der discussion in Washington today
is the possibility of coalitions in
Congress. These alliances are ex-
pected as an outgrowth of the bitter
ness developed in the primaries. 1t

NOUGLAS W. ORR, profess
~ sional adviser in a recent
contest of the Architectural
Club of New Haven says: "It was
the hope of the Club to stimulate
the interest in better designs for
small homes, particularly those
built of firesafe materials. The
merits of houses built of fireproof
materials are now generally recog-
nized, but the public seems some
what dubious as to the possibili-
ties in their treatment. 1t was in
tended to try to interest architects
to attack this problem so that the
possibilities of good architectural
design of homes built of portland
cement concrete might be i'm
pressed upon the home building
public"
A. Story Granger, New Haven,
Conn, won second prize for the
above design. The house shows
the English influence and is built
of concrete masonry covered with
portland cement stucco. A hedge
enclosure gives I delightful finish
ing touch to che grounds.
The floor plan reveals the care

knows the housewife of today
wants every modern convenience
which comes within the range of
modest means.

realize, in the face of such display, that he
actually has Travelled at all.
This, of course, signifies that the dis
tribution of great number of products
has become well-nigh universal. Distribu-
ton is matter of large concern to us all
yet it does not mean merely the placing Of
goods on sale in many stores. Goods may
stagnate in stores; they will gather dust
and become unsaleable if the ultimate
does not consume. Distribu-
tiol implies the moving of goods from the
stores. 1t is a process of motion, of flow,
and it is the constant circulation of goods
and money through producers, distribu-
tors and consumers that brings prosperity.

pride in an article which he deems worth
