came back from the west in what
was for him a perfect riot of color,
but it didn't last long.
At the first post-vacation press
conference, as has been noted, Mr..
Coolidge blossomed out in darling,
light gray suit which gave him the
most collegiate appearance in the
entire assembly.
Since then, however, the president
has always appeared before us in the
same old black suit which he wore
before he went away. Or if it isn't
the same ssuit, it's exactly the same
color. Information is not available
as to whether the president sold the
pearl gray suit, stored it or gave it
to rummage sale.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE HIGHEST MOTIVES

My conscience used to make me quite
unhappy
NV soul was often stepped in
Stygian gloom
When now and then I took a wee
bit drappie
With friends who sat about the
locker room.
I held the sovereign edicts OF my
nation
/ ought to view with reverence and
Eschewing drinks which cause intoxi-
cation,
And which are interdicted by the
law.
For several years I could not take y
swallow
Of anything mere strong than
ginger ale,
But soul destroying outlines would
follow
For weeks and weeks together or
my trail.
I soon grew hollow eyed, and pale
and jaded,
Through many q night I did not
sleep a wink
Till by and by I almost was per-
suaded
Forever to abstain from all hard
drink.
But while I paused, in troubled
hesitation
Before to any pledge I set my. hand
1 learned the liquor law gives occU-
patton
To many thousand men throughout
the land
If now and then I did not hoist
a seidSl
Or look upon the wine when it is
red,
A number of these people might
be idle
And all their children crying out
for bread
So now my conscience is profoundly
quiet
Although the prohibition folks may
froWn
When some one says: "This stuff
is preWar, try itl''
I pour myself a shot and toss it
down.
It is not that the jolt my thirst
assuages,
: / only take it in. the mildest nips;
I want these people to receive good
wages
Endeavoring to keep it from my
lips.
