strictly speaking, no one Herald

the subject must be selected from

the rules are grossly violated. mas

all fairness to Lindbergh we doubt
if he has ever heard of the Herald

making so much money now that he
doesn't have TO search diligently
over the classified ads for his bar
gains. That's the only connection
the judge can see connecting Lind

IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
(8y Stephen James,

Christmas in Washington is {
time of quiet celebration and good
cheer; New Years Eve is a mo
ment of revelry and high gaiety
Christmas is spent around the
hearth-side, on what passes for
the hearth-side in apartments and
row houses, but custom demands
that New Years Eve be spent
abroad, at hotels, restaurants and
supper clubs.
The government clerk whose
salary oftentimes will not warrant
the splurge. feels impelled to spend
half a months salary at a club
beyond his means. Those of af-
fluence seek the tinsel decorated
walls where music and gay lights
afford some compensation for the
excessive convert charge.
Street cal companies arrange
special schedules to carry the re-
vellers home in the early hours of
1927, while taxi cab stands do the
greatest business of the year. Off
cial Washington spends the even
ing at exclusive functions in homes
or rented ball rooms.

For the President and Mrs
Coolidge New Years Day is per
haps the most arduous of all the
364 that follow it. 1t is a day OF
constant reception, beginning at
II O'Clock in the morning with
those highest in estate and rank,
until the last humble constituent
of us passes in the late afternoon.
Often times the endurance of the
President is exhausted before the
line of visitors ends, and at such
times firm aides nounc that
the reception is over. Coolidge
has a great penchant for hand
shaking. however, and has grown
quite adept at it during his years
in Office. AS he grasps your hand
he also gives a gentle but percep-
tible tug across and in front of
him so that those in line have no
opportunity to pause for even the
briefest conversation. You tell
your lame to an aide and he pre-
sents you to the President.
The Coolidge program for New
Years Day is announced weeks
before hand. At II o'clock the
Cabinet members, the diplomatic
corps. and the directors of the
Budget and the Pan American
Union are received. They are al
lowed ten minutes to pass before
the President. Promptly at 11:1O
the Chief Justice and Associate
Justices and lesser luminaries of
the bench are received. Ten min

sentatives 7 presented.
