Pleasant, indeed, are times which
permit of such serenity and accom-
modations on the part of our chief
executive.
Not every President has felt he
could take such a long and distant
vacation, and not one has deigned
to go through such an arduous Sc

Mr.. Coolidge not only finds him
self blessed with prosperity, but
with a set of advisers who seem
able and willing to shoulder most
of his burdens.
Smoot is ready to tell the people
what they can expect by way of a

Russia; marines and bombing

to a tragic conclusion; and British
statesmen are prepared to tell us

the President worry?

He should not, and apparently he
does not, except over the question
of being available if the country
sets up spontaneous clamor which
it may not be able to refrain from
doing because of the influence OF

We are beholding the evolvment
of a most unique campaign.
Presidential candidates have in

from innumerable rostrums and by
remaining in stern isolation on their

no instance where one has sought

"EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE"

EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURE"
Whether the air feels warm or
cold depends upon three things
temperature, humidity and air.
movement. Various combinations OF
these three elements give the same
sensation of warmth and comfort.
and their combined effects are meas
ured in terms of effective temper
ature."
This new method of measuring at
mospheric comfort has been devised
at the Research Laboratory Of tho
American Society of Heating and
Ventilating Engineers, in Pittsburgh.
The way 1t was worked out is thus
described in a current technical
journal.
Subjects were placed first in an
aforementioned chamber, where the
air was still and saturated with
moisture; /. e., 100 per GERS rela-
tive humidity. In a similar chamber
adjoining higher Temperatures ena
lower huinidities and various de-
grees of air motion could be MAIN
tanned; and the subjects passed back
and forth from the first to the sec
ond chamber, adjustments of the
air conditions being made in the
second until the subjects reported
an equal degree of comfort in both.
The dry-bulb temperature, wet-bulb
temperature and air motion in the
second were then said to represent
an effective temperature equal to
the actual temperature in the first
chamber"
In like manner, the temperature
of the original chamber was varied
through a wide range, and similar
comparisons were made with condi-
tons in the second chamber, until
a complete scale of effective tenn
peratures was obtained. These can
be expressed by means Of suitable
diagrams.
The effective temperature found
to be best in still air for the average
human being at rest and normally
clothed is 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

Coolidge of the Movies

Meanwhile, Calvin Coolidge con-
tinues to angle, and failing to hook
fish, has himself photographed for
the delectation of an overly credu-
lous public.
Whether available as presi-
Dental candidate, he has
made himself available for the
movies in a dozen different styles.
Anxious citizens, laboring for a bet
ter understanding of the problems
of their country and striving to
vote right with painful conscien-
tiousness can now see Mr.. Coolidge
riding a hayrake, rugged up in a
sombrero and chaps, or posing as a
fisherman on the banks of a West
ern creek, as they prefer. Out of
the medley, they should receive con-
vincing entertainment.
Not every age and generation
have been blessed with such clean
cut expositions. The incisive rea-
soning of Theodore Roosevelt, the
clean-cut logic of Woodrow Wilson,
and the sonorous oratory Of War
rem G. Harding become pale and in
sipid beside these pictures of CAL
vim Coolidge.
Never in the country's history,
perhaps, have the people been fur
nished with such brilliant elucida-
tons of the problems of the day.
A hayrake, a cowboy hat and a
new fishing rod-think of what an
education they afford the honest,
Woodworking citizens if he will
only take time to analyze them.
Calvin Coolidge can play farmer,
broncho buster and fisherman with
out even looking the part, which
proves that the third term is no
issue.

poor movie vehicle and more so,
when the talent of a man like Sills
is completely wasted on such poor
material. 1 have been impatient
when heroes Of stories have been
sent to prison when they are entire
ly innocent and everybody in the
audience knows it. 1t seems evcry-
one in the world is wise to the inno-
cence of the hero, but the author.
And so Stills goes to a fever camp,
prison situated in a most un-
healthy country. He suffers and
suffers, only to come out Of the
camp dolled up in warm weather
white pants and other similar mate
rial in order that he may claim the
girl he loves.
The only thing Of any real interest
in this movie is when part of the
diamond mine gives way and mud
starts to flow in, trapping the hero
and the heroine. OF course they
both finally escape.
I ask you in all kindness, If you
enjoy this movie and do not agree
with me that Sills' talents are

CINCINNATI, o., July 25-If you
would see this town to the best
possible advantage, approach it
from the upriver on a bright sum-
mer morning, with the slightest film
of fog playing over the yellow bosom
of the Ohio, above which glorious
green hills rise on either hand, while
the newly risen sun comes back at
you from a thousand scintillating
windows.
They call it the Rome of America
not only because its dwellings and
parks have overlooked seven hills,
but because it fronts on a stream
which resembles Father Tiber in
color at least.
Besides this borrowed distinction,
Cincinnati is justly famous for the
good music it still makes and the
good beer it once produced. for its
large percentage of native-born, for
its commodious houses set far back
from the street in spacious grounds.
and for the fact that Alice Roosevelt
married one Of its leading citizens.

When a dog bites a man, he
should promptly turn around,
pick up said dog and give the dog
good manly bite on the dogs
back.
And then the man should say to
the dog, well, how do you like
that?"
And for an answer, the dog will
start a retreat the second he can.
In other words that is what the dog
does in the movie comedy, Fire
man, Save My Child" after Wal
lace Berry bites the back Of the
dog.
The dog decided that he would
like TO frolic with Raymond Hatton
while Raymond and Wallace are
moving piano up seven flights Of
stairs in an apartment house.
So the dog makes a successful at
tack upon Raymond and Wallace
decides to give the dog some Of his
own medicine and does.
know what you want to ask me.
Your question is: Is Fireman, Save
My Child" as funny as Behind the
Front" and Were in the Navy
Now?"
To me, their latest comedy is
much funnier that the navy pic
ture and equals the great fun in
Behind the Front"
And yet it seems to me that it
is Hatton who is trailing after
Berry instead of leading the fun
procession. I will remember Fire
man, Save My Child because
Berry is in it and not because
these two funny men are teamed
together.
And yet in all of the big comedy
scenes, Wallace and Raymond are
both present. This movie is full of
one hokum comedy scene after an
other, especially after the beginning
Of the movie when Berry and Hat
ton are shown going to, school at
their present age. Trick photog-
raphy again turns 'em into Chill
dren" again. And the dear old
school teacher uses such endearing
expressions as you slob."
You remember that one of the
biggest laughs in Behind the
Front" was when Berry falls into
a mudhole. Well, the latest Berry
Hatton combination certainly has its
big splash.
1t happens when Berry refuses to
get off of his fire truck because
Berry refuses to step in mud. Hat
ton says something about Queen
Elizabeth" and spreads his coat over
the mud puddle. And when Berry
steps on the coat, he just sinks out
of sight.
am not going into detail about
the other fun in this movie because
I feel confident that you will agree
with me that this movie equals
Behind the Front" for laughs and
easily excels Were in the Navy

also rented Office from the bank. For five months
after the bank failed he did not pay mis- rent and
then sought to offset what he owed rent against
what the defunct bank owed him on account of his
deposit in it. He said the bank owed him money
fair way to settle the opposing claims would be to
set them off against each other. The bank receiver
contended that such an adjustment would give the
man who owed the rent an unwarranted. preference
over other depostors in the bank 1t would give him
dollar-for- dollar adjustment of rent against his
deposit when the deposit might ultimately have to
be adjusted on a much less favorable basis.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The United States District
Court of Oklahoma decided that such adjustment
could not be made. 1t said that the rent which the
man owed had accrued after the bank had failed,
and that consequently it could not be Offset ag~st
what the bank owed the man at the time i !. mt

Boosting LongWorth

Attorney-Gener Turner, of Ohio
came all the way from Columbus on
Saturday to bless the annual out
ing the Blaine Club with his
presence and to make political re-
marks which tickled local pride, even
if they were neither profound nor
original.
eff Calvin Coolidge should not be
able as our standard-bearer next
year," he said, I'VE have in Nick
Longworth an admirable candidate
for that high Office"
Such a sentiment finds favor with
Cincinnati folks, not only because
they like Nick Longworth, but be-
cause they recognize his wife as her
fathers own daughter.

1t is pleasant to tell you Paul Ire
maine has in his orchestra, Aristo-
Gratis Of Modern Music, a group of
young men who love to play. They
make up about the livest bunch of
players have seen in a long time.
Tremaine and his men have what
call original pep and they know
how to dress up certain musical
numbers with a brand of comedy
which lands solidly.
They are good on harmony and
their arrangements of various popu-
lar melodies are both new and
original. They inject pep and new
stunts that do not offend.
Tremaine goes at his act in a
manner which is individual, but he
never loses track Of harmony even
for novelty or comedy. Here is all

While I was present Tremaine and

are happy" And they win with
ease.
