COOLIDGE IS GLAD
 HIS TERM IS OVER
Welcomes End Of His Responsi'
 bilitieS as President

Washington. Feb. .6 R)-As the time approaches for President Cool idge to relinguish his office. he has a feeling of regret at a necessary ln- terruption to many pleasant per- sonal associations, but at the same time he feels relieved that the end of his responsibilities as president Is at hand.
 With Mrs Coolidge. the chief ex- ccutive is to be host at dinner to the members of the cabinet and their wives on Saturday night and will en- tertain Mr. and Mrs. Hoover Senator Curtis and his sister. Mrs. Gam, similarly on Sunday evening.
 Mr. Coolidge expects to en train for Northampton shortly after the inauguration ceremonies at the capital. without returning to the White House. Although it has been customary for the retiring president to return to the White House with the new chief executive after the in- auguration exercises. the practice has been disregarded in several cases and the president feels that there IS no precedent making it binding upon him.
 Mr. Coolidge has made no further arrangements regarding his activi- ties after leaving the presidency. AL though he has been approached by representatives of several neWspa- per and magazine syndicates with a view to obtaining his services as all author, the executive has entered into no definite agreement with any of them.

AD vALOREM RATE
 CHANCE ADVOCATED
WNstod Mn You'd Blse Them
 ou hmdican Valuation

Washington. Feb. :6 R-A recom- mendation that ad valorem tariff rates be based on American valua- ton instead of foreign declared values was made to the house ways and means committee today by H. B. R. Scheel. vice president of the Botany Worsted Mills of Passaic. N. J.
 Appearing at resumption Of hearings on the administrative pro- visions of the tariff law, Scheel op- posed using foreign valuation in any form and urged that where Ameri- can values on articles generally com- parable with foreign are not ascer- tainable, the American selling price of tAs imported article be used as rate 6Ase.
 Scheel said it had been difficult to obtain foreign costs and almost im- possible to confirm foreign values for assessment of ad valorem duties. Such a system, he said, had led to international friction and worked to the disadvantage of American manu- lecturers.
 Foreign Values Vary
 Foreign values vary greatly, he said, adding that the lower the wages and other elements of cost abroad, the lower the duty and pro- lection for domestic mills. High cost woolen fabrics, he said. suffer most from such cost variations.
 Representative Cramton, republl- can, Michigan, urged exemption from the 50 per cent duty on cost Of re- pairs to American vessels in foreign ports when such repairs are made with American labor and materials. Such duty is now applicable unless the repairs are of an emergency na- ture.
 Many ships repaired in Canada opposite Port Huron. Michigan, with domestic labor and materials, nd should be exempt from the repair duty

Then we read in his magazine that We should read about the con- troversy on salacious literature ana to read his magazine for clean liter ature. He cashed in on his speech. I think 1t h very unethical.
 Before we have any more speak ers we should ask why they want to speak to us for nothing. Some speakers have nothing to say, and say nothing in as many words as possible"
 Some one objected to the term "phoney minister" to which Mir. voeel replied, Well. understand he was deposed."
 President Quigley defended MT. Cleveland's address, emphaticaily. The things he spoke of and the things he stood for are the things the Lions club should stand for at any time. The Lions club has not
 
 drive out of New Britain this dirty, } rotten literature. It is not litera- ture-it is just plain rot. Whatever his motive may be, if we can get the authorities to drive them out we are amply compensated.
 MT. vogel explained that he was not attacking the man, he was criti- cising the motive.
 F, c. Teich, vice president, said Mir. Vogel should not criticize all speakers, since he has not been pres- ent when some very good speakers have appeared. He mentioned sev- cral speakers with whom the club members in general were greatly pleased and who. he said, were very good, mentioning the astronomer. a Boy Scout official from New York and a speaker on anthracite coal, who have appeared at different times. He said Rev. Mir. Cleveland came highly recommended.
 Mir. Bannan, who is chairman Of the board of police commissioners, said: II am inclined to side with Lion Lou (VogeD. The purpose of Mir. Cleveland's talk was all right, but ofttimes when we advertise a situation of that kind, we advertise the matter we are trying to do away with. The talk given here has help ed to increase the demand for that type of literature"
 Do II made plea for more cooperation between the club members and the speakers committee. He called at tention to the fact that good speak CTS are not always available and that other civic clubs were facing the same problem.
 Secretary O'Brien reported: "The speaker next week is Sam Cohen. 1 don't know anything about him." He said the club has not lost ground in the so-called controversy. He said the speakers committee had arrang- ed for some one else, but did not follow up the invitation so that the Saturday before the meeting in question, no speaker was scheduled. He, as secretary, was forced to get d speaker. He said he had heard Mir. Cleveland speak on Elihu Bur rift and found him a very eloquent speaker. He invited him to speak at the Lions club. MT. Cleveland asked me what to speak of, and l answered Lincoln and Literature. A laugh followed MT. O'Brien's la conic statement: He did"
 Past President P. F. King ad- vised against letting the mistaken impression get out and into the

newspapers that there was any wholesale condemnation of speak ers. He said the club owed . debt of courtesy to men who gave their time and their labors to como and speak.
 Past President Harry c. Brown objected to the newspaper men pres ent taking cognizance of the discus sion. saying they were present to re- port the speakers only. MT. Ban nan said he guessed the newspaper men present would use good judg- ment, to which a newspaper man explained that they were there on duty to report the meeting. and 1t was up to the men who spoke to use good judgment.
 Considerable semi-humorous criti- cism of newspapers followed. To night the papers will carry captions saying Lions Roast Cleveland laughingly commented Colonel w.. w. Bullen, also a past president.
 Mir. Bannan advised the members to use discretion in referring to speakers"
 MT. Vogel offered a resolution that henceforth reporters be required to make a pledge at the door that they will submit their copy for censor ship before submitting it to their newspapers His resolution was greeted with more laughter. King Gillette, national organizer, spoke on the installation Of a new Lions club in Plainville this evening. He advised the members to submit all their problems to Lions 1nternation- al and their troubles would vanish.
 He recommended more music and more singing It was the first meet ing the club has had without a mu- sical program this year.
