United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.--Back
at his desk in the White House to-
day after three months vacation in
the Black Hills, President Coolidge
encountered a series of pressing
problems-the proposed special ses-
sion of the senate, appointment of
an ambassador to Mexico and al
governor general of the Philippines,
the new naval building program
and tax reduction.
Moreover, he found himself sud-
denly east in a swirl of politics over
his statement that he does not
choose to be a candidate for re -elec-
tion in 1923. Potential candidates
and a group of leaders are seeking
to ascertain what he meant by the
word choose. Without more clari.
fication many hesitate to get the
pre-nomination campaign under way.
The president intended to seek ex-
pert consultation on his executive
problems. He expected first to|
meet with Senator Curtiss, Repub-
lican, floor leader, to ascertain defi-
Eitelv if Curtis agrees that a special
senate session is desirable to get the
Ware Smith election contests out Of
the way before the regular Deeem
Der session.
To Keep Own Counsel
He wants to discuss with party
leaders the new appointments to be-
made and he wants to see all fac
tions involved in the naval building
and tax reduction situations. These
matters all will be discussed at
cabinet meeting tomorrow.
As for the furore in the capita
over his "choose' statement, he is
expected to keep his own counsel.

ITO STOCK OR
NOT TO STOCK"
IS QUESTION
BY United Press Lcns"d Wire

LOS ANGELES, Sept. l2.-Sun-
tanned feminine legs, barred of their
thin and transparent silk coverings,
supplanted the ''barefoot boy as
school vacations ended here today
while authorities debated the pro-
prietv of the mode.
Limbs Drowned by summer suns
joined the trek of some 325,000 Los
Angeles students into the marble
halls, where the little red school
house once stood, and the fashion
gave signs Of becoming permanent
institution.
TIE concern over bare legs began
during summer sessions at Holly
wood high school when authorities
there declared that girls could not
attend school unless they wore
stockings.
If the fashion is to appear with
out stockings. why then it is all
right for girls to go without them, -
Bruce a. Findlay, assistant superin-
tendcnt of school declared in answer
to the argument precipitated by the
action Of authorities i'll Hollywood.
The controversy extended to near
by cities and Santa Ana S board of
education decided that the girls
might appear sans stockings and "if
they want to, they may go barefoot
ed, too.'
The action at Hollywood high
school was not made by the board.
Until some move is made to bring
the board to a decision, the girls
NAV GO without stockings, Findlay
said.
The introduction of the new fad
has caused many girls to turn to
"kiddie sox, reaching only to
their ankles, protecting tender feet
from rough shoes.

De1gar's Ability
Is Big Question

Fans throughout the valley are
wondering just how much of a bat
tie Billy Delgar, Phoenix welter-
weight, will put up Wien he clashes
with Raymond McQuillan, the flashy
colored boy from Denver. The ma
jority are hoping that Delgar will
have something besides a desire
wher he hops through the ropes.
McQuillan has fought here three
times thus far this season and i'll
each bout lie has shown to great
advantage. He has won plenty of
admirers throughout the valley with
his ability to toss leather punches
at rivals but as yet Raymond hasn t
been pressed very hard.
Arriola gave McQuillan little
trouble in their first clash, the Cal
cXico youth flashing plenty Of speed
and managing to stick it through
six rounds but in their next battle
McQuillan stopped the encounter
early. In his other fight in the vel
ley McQullan was an easy winner.
That is why fans are hoping Del
gar has something to offer for they
are anxious to see Raymond given
a run for his money. If Delgar just
lives up to half the reputation he
has gained as welter about Phoe
nix, McQuillan will run into lots
of opposition.
Both boys are of the flat footed
type of scrapper and delight in
the game of mixing punches. Me
Quillan is Il bear at swapping blow
for blow because he usually works
his hands fast enough to get in two
while the other boy is Slipping
through with one.
In the scmi-final Ronald o Dell
of San Diego will meet Mark Pur-
roe of the Naval base. Purroc has
not been seen in action here be-
fore but he has done plenty of fight
ing. Among others he has battlcd
are Hickey Rosalcs, Johnny Lee and
Darrie BARRON. These arc his most
recent fights and he won two Of
them and lost the other on a close
decision to Darrion, rated among
the leaders in his class on the coast.
O'Dell, the speed king, may find
his hands full in the COB.
