WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
By FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Very few hours before President
Coolidge left washington for White
Pine Camp on July 8 one Of the most
influential men in the Republican
party was ct the White House. The
political situation past. present and
future-was canvassed. There was
entire franlness on both sides. What
was said was not intended for publiea-
ton, has not been divulged. and prob
ably never win be. But the visitor
came away with the distinct impress
sion that the President is candi-
date for reelection. 'Cal" did not
say DO. nineteen hundred and TWEEN.
ty-eight" was not discussed. directly
or Indirectly. Yet sometimes even
men as noncommittal, cautious and
incommunicative as Calvin Coolidge
convey an unmistakable inkling OF
what's in their mind. Occasionally
this results as much from what's not
said as from what 10 said. and from
Manners rather than matter.
That Is one sidelight on current con.
troyerSy over the Presidents tnten.
tons two years hence. Here's an.
other. One Of the four men who rank
an Mr.. Coolidge's bosom friends
Frank w. Stearns, Dwight w. Nor
row. william M. Butler and John
0aribQldi Sargent-was asked point
blank not long ago whether the Presi.
dent aSpiree TO succeed himself in 1873.
The exact words OF the reply were
these, 'If anybody In the world knows
d. a.
before ne Is actually ready to do It,
thar person knows the President a lot
better than / do" That led to an.
other inquiry Of the man sometimes
called ''Coolidge's Col. House" He
was asked II he thought the Presi-
dent had formed any conclusion about
another term. The answer was, Il
am perfectly certain he has not. be.
cause he never reaches decisions that
tar ahead"

ing Thief, thief, thief" and that sound was drawing nearer. There was nothing pleasant about Sammy's voice. It had an angry sound. Mock CT flew over to q hemlock tree and hid in the thickest part of it. Once more he screamed just like Sammy Jay. Rcddy Fox got behind the lit. tie brush heap near by and grinned. It was evident that Sammy Jay was losing a little more of his temper with every beat of his wing.
 Presently Sammy arrived, quite out of breath. He began 10 look about in every direction. The crest on his handsome head was standing ID. It was plain 10 see that Sammy had come to pick a fight. Thief. thief, thief" he screamed. Almost instantly there was q reply from q little clump of hemloCk trees. Over there flew Sammy. so angry that he could hardly scream. It was one thing for him 10 call anothcr per son a thief. and quite another thing to he called thief. What Sammy thought was that q strange Jay from far away had come to the Green Forest, and Sammy didn't want him thore. He intended to drive him away. and do it without any waste of time.
 Now, as Sammy ner toward that clump of hemlocI treps Mocker the Mocking Bird slipped out on the oth- CT side and into another very thick hemlock tree. So of course Sammy found no one. He screamed again, for his temper was quite lost by this time. Right away some one screamed back at him. Over to the next hem- lock tree flew Sammy, but already Mocker had slipped out of it and flown to another hemlock some dis tance away. There he screamed again, just like Sammy Jay. sam my was the most upset Blue Jay you ever saw. Yes. sir, he was so He was so angry that he didn't even notice Reddy Fox grinning up at him. Straight for that other tree flew Sammy, When he got there of course he found no one but Mr Mocker. Mocker was very innocent as he sat in the top of the tree,
 Where is that other Jay?" de- mandcd Sammy after he had looked all through the tree.
 "Is there another Javo" inquired Mocker innoccntlv. "T haven't seen one anywhere. He certainly isn't here" And this is all the satisfac. ton that Sammy Jay got.

 Hardly were the words out of Reddy's mouth when the cry Of Thief, thief, thief" rang out above him. and it was so exactly like Sammy Jays voice that before he thought Reddy looked 10 see if Sam Sammy hadn't arrived without being noticed. Sammy hadn't. but he would arrive soon, for they heard him cry
