It now appears to be virtually certain
that President and Mrs. Coolidge viii
not return to Washington from Sapelo
Island, off the coast of Georgia, where
they are going to spend the Christmas
holidays, in time to hold the customary
New Year reception at the White
House.
While President Coolidge has not
stated officially that he proposes to
abandon this White House tradition by
prolonging his stay in the South be-
yond January /. he has given intima-
tions to those who have discussed the
subject within the past few days that
this is exactly what he intends to do.
Reports that he would do this have
caused members of his cabinet and
other high Government officials, who
because of their official connection with
the administration would have to be on
hand to participate in the reception, tc
seek enliehtenment. They have made
INQUIRIES at the White House as to the
propriety of their absenting themselves
from Washington on New Year day
This would not be possible If the Pres
ident were to be in washington and
the reception was to be held.
Precedents Recalled.
According to reliable White House
sources assurances have been given that
while the President is making no an-
nouncements, the chances of his re-
turning to the White House before New
Year day are very remote. Those max
ing inquiries have been given to under
stand that they may remove the recep-
ton from their calculations and con-
slider themselves free to do and 60 as
they please ON New Year day.
Moreover, intimates of the President
have gone to some pains to explain In
this connection that if the President
did abandon the White House custom,
which has been popular institution in
Adams, the first occupant of the. White
House, he would not be establishing a
precedent Reminders were given that
former Presidents have done away with
these receptions Woodrow Wilson was
mentioned as being the last one. 1t was
said that none was held during his two
terms. 1t was added, however, in the
Presidents behalf that Mr.. Coolidge is
very mindful of the popular interest in
these receptions, and that he realizes
what they mean, at least to the older
citizens of the National Capital, In the
way of tradition. Also, that he has
never missed holding New Year re-
ception during the more than five years
he has been an occupant of the White
House, and that both he and Mrs. Cool
idge have been deeply impressed and
have greatly enjoyed them.

The postgraduate courses, one lead
ing to the degree of master of law and
the other leading to the degree of mas
ter of patent law, will be instituted at

Miss Grace Duval predicted early en-
franchisement of the District in . pa
per. she read at the meeting OF the
Taney Law Club last week. Discussing
primarily the restriction Of Govern
ment employees from participation in
political activities, Miss Duval cited
the recent exodus of: men and women
to all parts of the United States to
cast votes in the cities of their legal
residence. She depiced the plight of
WaShingtonians who "are denied the
inherent right of voting and giving ut
terance to their political persuasions. "
She concluded her paper with the pre-
diction that the time can not be far
distant when citizens of the District
of Columbia will be accorded the right
of suffrage.

PRESIDENT UNLIKELY TO RETURN
m TIME TO HOLD RECEPTION
Trip to Sapelo Island May Cause Abandon.
ment of Annual New Year Day
Program. :r

and who are assisting in making the
arrangements for his Sapelo Island
trip feel very confident that he will not
be back at the White House before two
or three days after the first of the year.
The plans call for his departure either
late Christmas day or early the follow
ing morning. This would give him
more than full week of rest and rec
reation in the balmy climate of that
southern section of the east coast.
Howard E. Coffin, owner of the island,
who will be the Coolidges' host on this
occasion, will have several yachts OF
different sizes and speeds in readiness
for the pleasure of his distinguished
guests. It is thought quite likely that
the Presidents avowed interest in fish,
ing will tempt him to try his hand at
deep-sea fishing, despite the fact that
he has never shown any great fondness
for rough water. The island Is said to
be we'll stocked with deer, pheasants,
peacocks and other small game, and II
the cunning is not TO- the Presidents
liking he may journey to Mr.. Coffln's
game preserve In Camden County, Ga,
about so miles south Of Sapelo Island.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge are
known to be looking forward with keen
interest to the rest and change that
will be theirs in the warm rays OF the
Georgia sun. Mrs. Coolidge, who has
been visiting her mother, Mrs. Lemira
Goodhue, who has been seriously III at
a hospital in Northampton, Mass, for
nearly a year, will return to the White
House tomorrow. Upon her return she
will supervise the placing of the Christ
mas greens and other decorations about
the interior of the White House. Sew
eral Christmas trees have been de-
livered at the White House in her alb
sence and she no doubt will have these
placed in the blue room, as was done
last Christmas.
Son Not to Come Home.
John Coolidge, who Is employed in New
Haven, Conn, Is not coming home fos
Christmas, and Christmas morning at
the White House promises to be quiet
affair. However, the President and
Mrs Coolidge will exchange gifts as
usual and will have their many pres
ents opened and placed in separate piles
in the library on the second floor, as
has been their custom. It is their in
tention to attend services at the First
Conversational Church in the morning.
Christmas eve they will participate in
the exercises incident to the illumina-
ton of the community Christmas tree
in the reservation just east of the rear
grounds of the White House, and later
will participate in the carol singing In
front of the White House.
Hundreds of Christmas remembrances
already have reached the White House,
most of these being In the form of
greeting cards. Among the presents are

LONDON, April i2.-Englishmen
we're amused today over Henry Ford S

1t was announced that he would make
the first speech in his life, he spoke

Mr.. Ford was acclaimed at the dinner
given by the American Society by Alan

dor, as a man who had along certain
lines transformed methods of thinking.
Methods i'm Industry.

part of prosperity and has brought 10
our notice that industry is to be re
/. Ear6ed as a means of service, not Of
prosperity. II service is properly run

perhaps unique, and il is certainly one
In which we are Americans can justly
take pride"
: The Ambassador said the American
colony greeted the manufacturer sin
cerely and cordially. mot so much be-
cause Mr.. Ford has made innumerabls
motor cars. but because he typifieS that
combination Of idealiSm and hard. prac-
tical common. sense which we like to

Even walters lined thc walls to hear
what Mr.. Ford had to say. He rose and
said:
