Lillian nodded sagely.
She's just young and tempera-
mental enough for that" she COM

away from It,"
I nodded. II had quite a time to
make her see how futile such pro-
sceeding would be - how criminal

Now Mrs. Coyote had learned
that Old Man Coyote knew great

the task is plainly evident TO anyone

of the c. and A. company he has
been able to accomplish what at
first would seem impossible and Doug

by a neat, low cement curb, except
along the alley to the west, where
a white picket fence marks the
property limit. The grounds present
an unbroken lawn surface, except for
four newly planted palm trees in
the parking space at the front.
The old steep front roof surface
has been converted by placing
row of windows on the second floor
front. These windows open into
the staff living qarters and sun

later. The porch on the west side
of the main building has been
widened and the rooms adjoining
open on to it through French doors,
thus making it possible for all private
room patients beds to be moved out
of doors.
This has also permitted another
new feature, an inclined fire escape.
In the blight of the "L' of the
porch there has been constructed
a cement incline. Screened, hinged
panels open from the porch onto this
incline and in case of fire all the
patients in private rooms could be
moved out in their respective beds
and down this incline to the lawn
in less than Is minutes. One of
the most striking of the outside
changes is the exterior decoration,
the building now being equipped
with bright green roofing, white
woodwork and grey screen frames
with copper screening.
On entering the reception room
one finds another pleasing change,
for here the smooth walls are dme

with greenish grey granite inlaid

Calumet Hospital To
Be Opened to Public
For Inspection Today

The far sighted vision of local
physician, DR.. r. w. Adamson, and
the benevolence of the Calumet and
Arizona Mining company are re-
sponsible for the complete remodeling
Of the Calumet hospital into an
institution that may well be looked
on with pride by the city of Douglas.
The newly remodeled hospital will
be open for inspection tbday and
the citizens of the city and surround
ing community are invited to visit
the institution between the hours of
Q a. m. and p. m.
About 25 years ago there came
to the then young town of Douglas
young man with purpose and an
enthusiasm. This man came from
another copper producing center,
where he had been practicing his
profession, and his purpose was to
build hospital to take proper
medical care of the men employed
by the Calumet and Arizona Min
ing company. This man was DR..
F. T. Wright, and he proceeded at
once to the construction of his hos
pital and named it after the city
which he had just left in the north
ern part of Michigan-Calumet
At the time it was one of the
few large buildings in the new
town, which had sprung UP in the
valley overnight, like a colony of
mushrooms. Although it served a
most useful purpose in the commu-
nifty for a long time, as the town
grew and as the mesquite studded
plain gave way to broad paved streets
the hospital became less and less
an outstanding structure.
Finally came TIME when Dr.
Wright felt that he had served his
time in the ranks of his profession
and he retired. The company he had
been identified with so long decided
to make a slight change in the policy
and administration of it's medical
affairs.
Accordingly, on the first day of
October, 1925, the c. and A. company
purchased the old hospital from DR..
Wright and established DR. Adamsou
as his successor. To him was dele
gated the task of remodaling the
hospital with the idea Of bringing
the institution up to modern stand
ards.
DR.. Adamson was particularly well
equipped to do the work assigned to
him, having been working in the
institution with his private practice
for the past 90 years, and was thor

The president of the United States
is accustomed to taking walks of
an hour or more in the morning or
evening, accompanied only by a secret
service man.
friend once suggested to the
secret service man that inasmueh
as he was thus apparently closer
to the president than anyone else,
they must have many interesting
conversations during their saunters.
The secret service man admitted
as much. In fact, he and the pres
ident had had a very interesting
conversation on the preceding eve
ming, which he is said to have de-
scribed as follows:
The president came out and said.
"Goin' for walk
His escort started to don coat
and hat.
Pretty wet out, said the president.
Better put your rubbers on.
The secret service man said he
hardly believed he'd need them.
'Better put 'em on" said the presi-
dent, and the escort obeyed.
They walked for a half hour or so
lin silence.
Pretty wet" said the president
.T told you you'd need those rubbers.' -
Another half hour of silent travel
and they were back at the white
house.
"Good thing you wore your rub
bers,' said Mr.. Coolidge.
Mr.. Coolidge is a good listener
to such stories as are told to him.
His smile, while rare, is frank and
boyish
He has even been known to smile
, at a story that was risque.
A prominent and nationally known
official of an outlying state once
took a long automobile ride with
"Silent Cal" from one city to another.
! He had heard a great deal about
! the old, austere personality of this
sandy haired son of Vermont, and
being himself the exact antithesis
of this sort of personality figured
that he could best break the ice by
/ telling some of his pet Rabelaisian
yarns,
He told one after another for
almost the entire journey and was
rewarded by an occasional grin or
miniature laugh. But there were
no spasmodic howls except his own,
nor did Mr.. Coolidge once slap him
ON the knee and ask him to tell
another.
! No need to mention this official
/ by name. Women voters doubtless
! would defeat him in the next election
on the theory that he had held out
on them.
