Cal Gags Press Meets

WASHINGTON, FP) Feb. e.
Disappointed in the amount of favor
able publicity resulting from his
twice-a-week press conferences,
President Coolidge has become so
sulky at recent ridicule in the press
that he has virtually abolished these
meetings. The immediate occasion of
his action was the publication of the
fact that, in referring to Secretary
Hoover, he had said President
Hoover" either by mistake or other
wise.
Henceforth, nothing said by Cool
idge in answer to written questions
submitted by correspondents at these
meetings is to be used as an item of
news. His remarks are not to be
published as being the views of the
President. Such, at least, is his

cRTHopEDIc NOTES

A few weeks ago a call was
printed in the columns of the
News-Record, asking for canned
fruit for the little children in the
0rthopedic Hospital in Seattle.
This call appeared in the Seattle
papers aud in those of nearby
towns, AT that time not a jar was
ON the shelves of the hospital
storeroom. Advice from the Treas
urer of the Hospital, Miss Olive
Kerry, states that 2500 quarts have
been sent in. 1t will take 5000
quarts to carry the children thru
the winter.
An Auxiliary has Just been
formed in Dcs MONIES of women
who pledge themselves to help car
ry on the work of the Hospital
The citizens of Seattle have raised
the money to build and equip the
Hospital including the new wing
recently opened but to maintain
the service that no needy child be
ever turned away for lack of
funds, it will be necessary for low
ers of little children everywhere,
all over the Northwest to help the
hospital regularly TO keep up the
income to meet the expenses. Therc
larc many men and women who can
afford five dollars a year for an
annual membership-there are
many lodges and clubs which
could afford the annual member
ship for an organization, $25. Sun
| day School children would be glad
once a year to help with self-deni-
al money, the little ones less for
tunatc than themselves. Those who
cannot give money may help in
other ways. Send cast-offs to be
sold at the Thrift shop Put up
one cnn at least, of Bartlett pears,
or a pint OF Jelly. Save the tlufoil
for the Melting Pot Say a good
word for the hospital. The parent
of a crippled child may hear you
and you may be the means OF
bringing relief
