NAVAL FORMULA
 BEING STUDIED
U. s. and Britain Prepare Plans
 for Discussion

Washington. Aug. 2S, UP) - Great Britain's first definite pro- posal for a prospective formula over which the United States and the Ramsey Macdonald government might meet in a formal conference for further limitation of fighting craft was expected to be answered officially today by this government,
 President Hoover took the pro- posal under consideration yesterday at a three hour White House con- ference with Secretary of State Stimson, Secretary of Navy Adams and Under Secretary of State Cot ton.
 Neither the White House nor par tiCipants in the conference with the president would comment upon the project under discussion. But it was learned that although d reply to the British government had been decid- ed upon, the present exchange does not bring the two governments into such complete understanding as would justify exchanges touching upon a conference date.
 All previous reactions to the Hoover ''yardstick" formula have been presented by the British gov ernment in informal conversations with Ambassador Dawes in London. Yesterdays conference at the White House indicated, in the view of some officials, that following the major agreement between London and Washington upon naval parity Great Britain has presented, at least in general terms, her conceptions Of values to be applied in the yard. stick" formula which President Hoover has declared must be agreed upon before a formal call cen be considered.

The Once Over
MR. CoOLIDGE's NEW JOB
BY Il. I. PHILLIPS

Ex-President Coolidge has become an insurance
man. He has agreed to accept office as director
of the New York Life. This will mark the first time
in history that a man of few words has ever s
anywhere in the insurance business.
Of course, they've put Mr.. Coolidge where he won't
have to say much, but the mere selection of the
worlds outstanding Man of Silence may be signi-
ficant. 1t may mean that even the solicitors will
be less argumentative in the battle for new policy
holders.
Can you imagine Calvin Coolidge prolonging the
visit? Certainly not. The entire conversation would
be something like this:
Morning"
Morning"
Gould I interest you in a 2o-year endowment"
NO"
"a straight payment life?"
::Not at ALL"
Good day!"
Good day!"
None of the average insurance agents sales argu-
ment. No questions like, But, my dear man, have
you ever stopped to think what would happen to
your wife and family without adequate insurance."
or, Don't you think you owe it to your children
to take out another $25,OOO?"
And no Where will you be at 65?"
Probably thousands of insurance talks fail every
day because the agent doesn't know when to stop
talking.
That's where a man like Calvin Coolidge can be
of great service to the entire insurance business.
His very presence on the board Of one of the coun-
try's biggest life insurance companies should result
in an enormous conversation of natural gas.
Having accepted the nomination, Mr.. Coolidge will
be elected a director very soon. but it is still diff
ficult to believe that this is the job the former Presi-
rent had his eye on all last summer and fall. It
doesn't call for any glass ball, clay pigeon or turkey
shooting whatsoever.
