Some time ago a story appeared in
a Washington newspaper asserting that
the Coolidge health wasn't SO good,
and that this was why he wouldn't
allow himself to be re-nominated.
Without saying SO, the story inferred
that Mr.. Coolidge might be a tuber-
culosis victim. The president, one
hears, was mad clear through and
showed it. That story was absurd and
SO have many others been which limited
at poor presidential health, which ap-
pears to be as good as on the day
Mr.. Coolidge took over the White
House. Coupal once said he had the

Several delegations from large cities
came here to persuade the republican
national committee to hold the June
national convention in their bailiwicks
and impassioned pleas were made be-
fore the committee assembled. De-
troiters made the most dramatic ap-
peal but such speeches appear to gain
no more votes than so many speeches
on the floors of congress. Kansas City
won because of political considerations
and geography.
outside the convention hall, home
town boosters were happy to whisper
of the superior hqubr refreshments
which they could offer the conven-
ton. There was much talk of De-
troit's proximity to Windsor, Canada,
and one booklet distributed by Detroit
ers showed a picture illustrating this
inducement SO attractively that it was
torn out when an unfavorable reaction
from some of the dry committeewomen
was reported. San Francisco boosters
spoke up for their supply-in fact, sup
porters of all the other contending
cities insisted that their bootleggers
sold as good stuff as those of any other
community.
National Committeeman Crocker of
California, leading San Francisco'S val
liant effort, went even further, right
on the committee floor, in promising
interesting entertainment. He wound
up his appeal by saying:
eve can give you women, windows
and shopping"
At this point Crocker probably was
addressing the committeewomen, but
it didn't sound that way

WASHINGTON.-S of President
Coolidge's friends say that his definite
withdrawal as a possible candidate for

more independent than ever and free
from political moves. If he were to
be drafted next June and reelected,

would get the most efficient admin

Menus for the Family
BY SISTER MARY

BREAKFAST -, Baked winter
pears, cereal cooked with dates,
cream, crisp broiled bacon; toast,
milk, coffee.
LUNCHEON - Fruit cocktail,
Drowned rice, brown bread and
Jelly sandwiches, milk, tea.
DINNER-Roast spareribs, po-
tatoes baked with meat apple
sauce. creamed turnips, bran rolls,
pineapple cream, milk, coffee.
Odds and ends of fresh or
canned fruits can be used to ad-
vantage in fruit cocktails at the
beginning of meal as in the
luncheon menu. The principle of
combining two tart fruits and one
mild one is worth following-if
possible. Or marinate the fruits in
tart orange juice or lemon juice
A cocktail should always be tart
to whet the appetite.
Drowned Rice
One sweet green pepper, one on
ion, 4 tablespoons butter, cup
well washe drice, quart can to-
matoes, cup water, / teaspoon
salt, "A teaspoon cloves, u tea
spoon cinnamon, 1S teaspoon pep

Remove seeds and pith from
pepper and mince flesh very fine.
Peel and mince onion. Melt but
ter in a large shallow sauce pan
or spider. Add prepared onion
and pepper and rice well washed
and dried. Stir until thoroughly
mixed and each grain of rice coat
ed with butter. Cook until mix
ture is a golden brown. Rub to-
matoes through a coarse sieve to
remove seeds. Add water, sifted
tomato, salt, cloves, cinnamon
and pepper to rice mixture. Cook
slowly and uncovered until mix
ture is thick. Serve very hot on
a deep platter or shallow vege-
table dish. Tart tomatoes will be
improved by the addition of one

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
BAD NEWS from THE
BUG FRONT!

1 admit that I never before
Have been low or disturbed in my
mind
When I thought of the terrible war
We are waging with all insect kind
"We are holding our own with mos
quitoes," 1 said,
"We are screening them now from
our houses
No more will they hum round the
head of my bed
On their evil nocturnal carouses.
"The flies, which for ages were pests
A vicious and venomous horde
No longer are unbidden guests
At the average family board.
With screens at the windows and
screens at the doors
We feel that we're easily able
To bar them away from the markets
and storesA
And to hold them aloof from the
table"
But lately I've heard of a bug
A bug which is narrow and thin
Which a sinuous passage has dug
Into metals like brass, zinc and tin;
A bug whose unheard of and marvel
lous powers
Awaken the wisest to wonder
A creature which can, in very few
hours
Tear the solidest anvil asunder.
If this animal means the world ill
AS do gnats and mosquitoes and
flies
He shortly is destined to fill
Our souls with dismay and surprise.
Our great human race will be shortly
bereft
OF its long vaunted power and glory,
And in time there will never be one of
us left
To tell the grim terrible story
