Receivers Violin
After Al Years
Swears Off Lending

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LAWRENCE, kas. -- Separated
for IL years from a violin, H. r.
Martin, curator of the Dyche Mu-
scum of the University of Kansas,
has recovered the long lost treas.
ure and vowed that never again
will he lend 1t, even to his best
friend.
In 1870 the instrument was pur-
chased by his father, William Mar
tin OF Nottingham, England, from
a miller who had owned 1t for 40
years previous to that time.
When III. T. Martin came to the
United States in 1886, he lent the
instrument to an old friend OF his
father, Harry Finder of Illinois.
He later lost touch with Finder
and efforts to regain the violin
were unavailing. He had almost
forgotten the matter when he re-
ceived letter recently from a
daughter of Finder. She told Mar
fin the violin was in the posses
kion of niece living in Washing
yten. He,wrote Immediately ana the
instrument canaf to him. .-..--.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
STATE, GAME LODGE, Near Rapid
City, s. Oak. June 23.--It's a real
honey sort of existence the Coolidges
are leading In their White House out
here in the West.
The intimate picture Of life at the
State Game Lodge, given today by
guests who have been honored by the
President and Mrs. Coolidge, appears
much like that OF great many other
well managed American homes.
A slight accident--the first on the
whole trip-happened to the First
Lady of the Land on the evening that
former Gov. and Mrs. Samuel E. Nc
keivie OF Nebraska were guests. That
evening, while fishing with the Presi.
dent, Mrs. Coolidge had snagged her
finger with fishhook in casting. II
was necessary to cut the hook out,
Mrs. McKelvie said. but this painful
experience didn't in the least affect
the Presidents wife as a gracious
hostess.
Trout Regular Dish.
Trout is becoming a regular dish at
the presidential table-mostly trout
that Mr.. Coolidge catches by his own
angling efforts. But it Is served in a
way new to this region. For dinner
on the evening the McKelvies were
guests the fish was baked and served
with cream sauce. For breakfast
1t was baked and served with butter
and lemon Juice. Out here trout gen.
orally Is fried in corn meal and break
fast bacon, but as yet the Coolidges
have not had it that way. &
People have been particularly con-
cerned about entertaining Mrs.
Coolidge. They have thought she
might become bored out in the hills.
It is learned. though, that she Is
fond of needlework and Is devoting
much time to crocheting a beautiful
lace bedspread. which will be left
in the White House when she leaves
as a spread for the Lincoln bed.
Each First Lady of the Land leaves
some piece for the martyred Presi-
dents room, and Mrs. Coolidge has
been working on the spread for many
months. .....
She Enjoys Reading.
Besides this she enjoys reading
Then there Is a big correspondence
to keep up, and in addition Mrs. Cool
idge is said to be very thorough
housekeeper. The servants are said
to think very highly of her because
of the helpful attention she pays to
their work. The meals at the Sum-
mer White House are reported to be
quite plain, but most appetiZing.
Dinner has consisted of fish. chicken,
mashed potatoes, a simple tomato
