FOR H. E. COFFIN
Washington Reports Indicate En-
/. gineer May Be Secretary OF
Interior for Hoover.

Washington heard reports yesterday
that Howard E. Coffin of Detroit, en-
gineer and manufacturer. is likely to
be Secretary Of the Interior in the
cabinet of Herbert Hoover.
Mr.. Coffin is to be the host of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge on his estate at
Sapelo Island, Ga, during the Christ
mas holidays. It was said, however,
that this coming event has no con-
nection with the fact that he has al
ready been considered by President
elect Hoover for the post mentioned,
and will confer with Mr.. Hoover in
Florida. soon after the coming Presi-
dent has taken up pre-inauguration
headquarters at the end Of his South
American tour.
Mr.. CONN has served on several
Government assignments, including his
work as q dollar-a-year man during
the war, and later as member OF the
Presidents Aircraft Board in 1925,
when the charges of inefiiciency in
Government aircraft development by

man of the Aircraft Board of the United
States from N T 1917, to April, 1918.

SECOND INFLUENZA
WAVE SEEN LIKELY
Plans to Study Situation at
First Hand Begun by
Health Officials.
BY the Associated Press.


The possibility of a second and more
severe wave of influenza following the
present outbreak was discussed yester-
day by public health officials, who be-
gan considering plans for studying the
situation at first hand.
While their program was not COM
pleted, Federal authorities indicated
they would seek to add to their knowl-
edge of the disease through both labora-
tory and field studies.
THE percentage of cases in the
United States for the week ending De-
cember 49," 1t was said, was as great
as it was at the peak of the epidemic
of 1920" ...-
The studies under consideration would
be undertaken, they explained, in the
hope that the information gained would
prove helpful in combating second
wave.
StatisticianS completed a chart yes
terday showing that if the number of
cases for the week ending December
1900 per 100000 population-con-
tinued throughout the year, the annual
percentage of cases would be 10000
per 100000 population. They had no
indication, however, that the rate would
continue to increase.
Officers were still puzzled at the great
number of cases in this outbreak, and
the relatively negligible mortality. Re-
ports from 78 large cities showed LAS
deaths from influenza and 5,608 from
pneumonia during the period between
October % and December Is. There
were 5000 deaths from influenza and
pneumonia, it was stated, during the
1918 epidemic.

KING TAKES STEP
TOWARD RECOVERY
Only One Bulletin Will Be
Issued Today, Doctors
Announce.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 22.-King George
took another feeble step toward health
today and his doctors announced that
only one bulletin would be issued to-
morrow.
This will be the first occasion since
his illness became serious that only one
bulletin has been forthcoming on any
one day. It was taken as indication Of
an added degree Of confidence on the
part Of the physicians that though they
were unable to report any striking
progress, the royal patient continued to
hold his own.
The visits of the doctors today again
were comparatively short. The ultra
violet ray experts came as usual in the
evening to administer their light treat
fnent and all of the medical men de-
parted early except Sir Stanley Hewett,
who, as matter of precaution, contin-
ues to sleep at the palace. He, Lord
Dawson Of Penn and Sir Hugh Rigby,
the surgeon, signed the evening bulle-
tin, which said:
1.-THE King had a quiet day and there
No further bulletins win be issued until
Sunday evening"
Morning Bulletin Terse.
The morning bulletin. signed by the
same trio, was almost terse. It consist
ed of this single sentence:
1.-THE King had fair night and his
condition remains unchanged"
The confidence Of the physicians was
so impressive that in palace circles it
is said that a strong belief prevails that
should there be no further setback in
the next few days it is quite possible
that they will have Christmas gift for
the nation in the shape of an official
assurance, that the King is out Of
danger.
In any case, it now is evident that the
royal family, which will be completed by
the arrival Of the Duke of Gloucester
on Monday, will be able to celebrate the
day with q degree Of quiet confidence
which had seemed impossible only a
week ago. It will be, nevertheless, the
first Christmas for q decade which the
royal family has spent in London In
stead of at Sandringham.
Large Family Gathering.
It apears that the Queen does not
intend to issue a Christmas message to
the nation, but it Is understood that
her majesty has expressed privately her
desire that the country should not per-
NIT the illness of the King to interfere
in the slightest degree with the usual
Christmas obServanceS.
There will be an unusually large fam
lily gathering at Buckingham Palace on
the holiday. Celebrations will include
the presentation of the usual gifts and,
if the King still Is improving, Christ
mas tree. The dinner party will include
the Prince of Wales. the Duke and
Duchess of York. Princess Mary, the
Duke of Gloucester, Prince George and
the sisters of King George.
It is understood that his majesty now
is well enough to talk about domestic
affairs and has expressed his wishes
about gifts to the doctors, nurses and
others who have faithfully attended
him during his illness.

BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

In a ward of the Children's Hospital,
a little boy went happily from crib to
cot yesterday placing on the foot of each
a red poinsettia or garland OF bright
ly colored papers. He had made the
decorations during the long hours OF
convalescence. Some nurses were add
ing to the festive spirit, hanging bright
holly berries about the room. AS the
little boy with the poinsettias stopped
to place his tribute at the foot OF q
crib, the occupant, a baby not yet 8
years old, stood up and lisped excitedly,
''Santy's tumin'--he's tumin' thru the

It was no place for the cynic who
says there is no Santa Claus. In a far
corner, boy of 10 leaned diligently

With one full shopping day remain

have been one of the most prosperous
but difficult Christmas seasons the local
retail trade has experienced in recent
years.
Compared with earlier examples of
frantic shopping. managers of the
larger department stores seem agreed
that the old days of slam-bang Christ
mas buying are gone-probably never
to return.
For the styles are changing, too, in
the manner of holiday shopping.
The 1928 style Of Christmas shopper,
ever alert for something new and diff
ferent, made her appearance this sea-
