Hemenway, who still keeps Coolidge S

had together We were talking about
what President Coolidge will do after
March A. OF all who know Calvin
Coolidge, his old partners hunch may
be worth as much as any. Hemenway
wouldn't bet on the return of the
President to his home city.
Hes been used to having things
done for him. Nobody's going TO do

home town. He isn't the President
here. He's just Cal Coolidge"
If he does decide to come back
here" Mr.. Hemenway ventures. he
won't let any one know It. He's just
as likely to come in some day after
March 4 and say. Well, here I am
back Where shall hang up my hat?'' -
Well, what is Calvin Coolidge going to
do next? This is anybodys guess and
everybody's gossip in the Presidents
home town.
Will he return after March 4 to the
half house at 81 Massasoit street, and
to the Main street law Office which has
carried his name on the door through
out his eight years in Washington? Is
Massachusetts to have Mr. Coolidge
back or is he now too big frog for the
rather small puddle where he began his
political career? Northampton rather
guesses he's too big frog or that it's
too small puddle.

on the door.
IT just never took 1t off" says Mr..
Hemeway. Not in 10 years has it
profited Mr.. Coolidge to have his .lame
on that obscure door, If indeed it ever
profited him much.
Early Days at Bar.

naturally Hemenway kept all he made.
He seems to have made as little as
Coolidge himself out of having the
Presidents name on his door. Nice old
ladies don't come in to get the Presi-
dents law Office to do their wills and
trusts. Nope" grins Hemenway. Only
strangers question him about the names
on his door and not many O: thsm.
Mr.. Hemenway has to appeal to "the
girl" Miss Mary f. Hayes. whether il
was 1912 or 1915 he came with Cool
idge. She thinks 1916 Hemenwav had
lived on the same street with Coolidge
and as student In an Office up the
street had handled what business came
TO Coolidge in hts legislative absences.
Finally Coolidge suggested Hemenvav v
move down with him. They had desks
In one little room, with two telephones
and one girl. There was a little back
room they used for consultations. Now
there are two girls and Hemenway's
son. Hemenway has pushed through
the wall to the tailor shop next door
to get space for private Office.
Future As to Politics.
Will Coolidge withdraw entirely from
politics? They are booming AL Smith

Northampton would not be quite a

CAVES. REVEAL OLD
!. INDIANS RELIGION
"a
Tao Ceremonies of Pueblo
/ City Dating to 1912 Ex-
Z planned by EthnoIogist.

Ancient and mysterious religious
ceremonies conducted with extreme
secrecy in subterranean chambers were
found this Summer by j. P. Harring-
ton Of the Bureau of American Ethno-
Iogy in an old pueblo city Of the Taos
Indians in New Mexico.
This pueblo town, located on an
eastern tributary creek OF the Rio
Grance about so miles north of Santa
Fe. has about 800 Indian inhabitants,
descendants of the largest-Statued and
most warlike Of the old pueblo tribes.
Above ground 1t has been invaded by a
colony of artists, attracted by the pic
4,Iresoueness of the country and OF the
native life.
The Indians. however. have centered
their ceremonial life below ground,
where it is safe from prylng eyes ana
Mr.. Harrington says, no consideration
whatever would induce them to admit
q stranger. This, he believes, is wise
provision, effective in keeping the old
customs intact.
Estufa For Each Clan.
These Subterranean chambers are
known as estufas, and there is one for
each of the seven Taos clans. They
are entered through hatchways at the
top from which project the tops of
long, primitive Indian ladders. In the
center of each eStufa is fireplace and
tnNy serve as cl0bhouSes for the men
when they are not in use for religious
ceremonies anG council meetings. thus
enabling the Indfsns to keep their So
cial life to themselves.
This pueblo, Mr.. Harrington says, is
the holy city of the tribe. Overlook
ing 1t on the northeast stands the
sacred mountain, Naxwalana, peak of
the Southern Rockies. The religion
of the people, he says, prevents any OF
them from leaving the pueblo perma-
nently, lest they be followed by bad luck
or death Throughout their customs
he finds a. curious resemblance to some
Chinese customs, particularly this de-
votion to the homeland.
Dates Back to 1912.
The present pueblo town replaces
the one found by Coronado in 1912
near the same site. This first town was
destroyed in the fighting between the
pueblo Indians and the Spanish
toward the close of the seventeenth
century, and the present buildings
were erected a few hundred feet away.
The town has two groups of pueblo
houses, north and south Of the creek.
Originally each was five stories high,

Miss Knaak May Have Burned
Herself Without Knowing,
Brain Specialist Says.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November l7.-Dr. James
Whitney Hall, brain specialist, today
announced that Miss Elfrieda Knaak,
former university student and book
agent, found fatally burned in the
basement of the Lake Bluff City Hall,
may have bee:l suffering from a form
of amnesia which would make it pos
sible for her to burn her hands and feet
without being conscious of what she
was doing.
DR.. Hall made the announcement
after examining the brain of the girl at
Rush Medical College of the University
of Chicago. Miss Knaak. found Oc-
tober 80 in the village hall with arms
and legs burned to the bone, insisted
before she died that she had thrust her
limbs into the basement furnace to at
tain spiritual purity.
A coroner's jury decided she had
committed suicide, but Lake County
authorities are looking for a more
plausible explanation than the one She
made

lived here on a legislators salary not
50 many years ago. He probably would
noC need to do any further work. but II
is scarcely compatible with his char
acter not to have job.
Few ex-PresidentS have found them
selves in a better way to meet the
problems of retirement to their own
satisfaction than Mr.. Coolidge No
longer the poor man he was when he
entered the White House. Not old
only 56-he may expect a longer span
than has generally been allotted ex-
Presidents.
May Take TO Writing.
1t has been predicted he would turn
to writing. When Roosevelt got O
dollar q word from the Outlook. that
was big news and big money. Cleveland,
pressed for cash, wrote hard for several
years to earn $4,000 Grant, forced to
slave to the week Of his death with
unaccustomed pen, to pay debts of
honor from his Wall Street debacle, had
bargained his memoirs away at $500
chapter till Mark Train intervened
to find him a market worth a fortune
to the generals estate.
In this modern day of great syndicates,
Mr. Coolidge might earn as much as
the aggregate literary harvest of all
Grants, Clevelands and Roosevelt's
output, with few articles. Has Mr..
Coolidge the flare for popular articles?
What sort of public could Coolidge COM
mand, outside the white light of the
presidency?

thus by surprise, Calvin Coolidge would
find his old Office ready for him. 1t Is
