ing to prominent senator's wife
who told me that Mrs. Coolidge was
completing dog sweater when she
last spent a Sunday evening in the
White House.
Dogs Were So Cold
1.-THE poor dogs get so cold on the
Mayflower," the First Lady explained
to the Senator's wife.
There are two pianos in this family
living When she is not knit
ting of an evening, Mrs. Coolidge is
apt to be softly playing at the piano,
first asking the President of the
United States IL it will disturb him.
There are two pianos because Mrs.
Coolidge and her secretary, Miss Ran
dolph, often play duets at the end Of
a strenuous day of correspondence
and visiting delegates and afternoon
teas.
Chapters are told of life in that
upstairs room when there were two
Coolidge boys of vacation days when
the boys, home from school, stretched
out before the fireplace and talked
of school matters in low voice SO
as not to disturb the President.

One night, an official visitors re-
calls, they planned to get new room
mates when they returned to school.
Plans were completed, when the
President, supposedly lost in his
reading, briefly said:

to room together"
Mrs. Coolidge looked up in dis
tress; the boys wanted their new
roommates so badly!
20, Calvin" she said.
But that was all, and the Coolidge
boys went back to room. together.
There is an alcove off the big liv-
ing-room full of potted plants and
birds.
Mrs. Coolidge watches for new
buds on her begonias and Gala lilies
and geraniums as anxiously as any
small-town woman tends her fern.
And the birds are put to bed with
a cover over the cage just as Mrs,
Main Streets birds are sent to sleep
ea6h night.
They say the First Lady knits
the bird cage coveralls, too, and has
made an especially gay one for her
favorite bird, a linnet, which has the
coy little habits of midnight carol
ing. much to the Presidents distress.

CHICAGO, October 21.-The Cook
County death cell yawned for it's first
female inhabitant yesterday, but, true
to Illinois precedent, the execution was
stayed "a hours before the time set
for it. No woman ever has paid the
supreme penalty in this State.
Still iovial, but none the less pos

ferred death by the moose to a term
of life imprisonment or one of even 20
years, Mrs Catherine Cassler heard
Judge William V. Brothers grant her
a weeks respite.
Jokes With Jailers.
Nearer to forfeiture of her life for
murder than any other woman ever
approached in the State, Mrs. Cassler
displayed no emotion when her life
was saved and she joked about her
weight possibly breaking a morgue
slab if she had been hanged this
morning Her courtroom sensation,
she laughed. was one of hunger.
Her sex did not influence him, Judge
Brothers explained. He acted merely
because he believed every condemned
person was entitled to a review of the
case by the State Supreme Court, and
because Judge Philip l.. Sullivan who
sentenced her, was absent.
II am quite ready and willing to
die she said. NO man ever walked
to the gallows more courageously than
/ will"
Mrs. Cassler was convicted upon
the testimony of two confessed CO.
conspirators. Loren Patrick and Mrs.
Lillian Frazier, who now are serving
sentences of life Imprisonment.
Slain for Insurance.

was the actual slayer. He killed Lind.
strom, a man unknown to him, at the
request of Mrs. Cassler because she
had been good to him, Patrick testi-
fed.
In the courtroom yesterday was
Mrs. Cassler's 15-year-old son. Eddie.
She would prefer death to imprison-
ment only because she would prefer
that Eddie be able to say dead"
rather than lin JAIL" when asked
about his mother. The boy sought to
convince his mother that he would

Electron Gives Hint of
The Divine Creation

New York Feb % GE9 - Solu-
ton OF origin of the electron is
regarded by Michael l. Pupin, pro-
fessor of electro at CO.
lumbia university, as the only re-
naming mystery of electrical SCI
ence.
God only knows where, when
and how" electrons were created
DR.. Pupin said at the alumni din
ner of Polytechnic institute of
Brooklyn. last night. Having set
tied that question mystery vanishes
from electrical science and the rest
is easy"
When man discovered the cleo
irons, said DR.. Pupin, he discovered
the oldest and most efficient work
ers and the most law abiding
servants in the cosmic universe.
God created the electrons to be
his assistants in the creation of the
universe" DIR. Pupin asserted. 1T
is the service of the electron which
carries the human voice around the
terrestrial globe. 1t carries the
power from coal mines and noun
tain streams to our homes and
makes US comfortable it pulls our
subway trains"
