right for ~ equal rights amendment
to the constitution to do away with,
all legislation discriminating for OF
against women will be made during
the special session of congress BY
members Of tho national woman's
party.
Recalling that the woman's suf-

an extraordinary session OF congress
called BY President Wilson for con-
sideration Of the peace treaty and
the League Of Nations convention
Mabel Vernon. executive secretary Of
the party, observes:
"Of course this session is primar-
ily for farm relief and tariff, but we
feel that there will be plenty Of time
Tor consideration of this amendment

many women"
Are Approaching Senators
Branches of the woman's party in
every state are working through their
local organizations, she says, and are
approaching their senator's and rep

port for the proposition.
Vice President Curtis was q staunch
friend Of the amendment when he
was 9 member of the senate, intro

Cause Of the fire had as vet not been

BY FLORA G. ORR
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Pack-
ing, in large way, is going on in
two important houses in Washing
ton.
AS Mrs. Calvin Coolidge continues
with the social affairs which are
part of the duties Of a Presidents
wife up to the last minute. the
noise of the hammers can be heard
in the attic of the White House.
Packers are at work there, getting
ready the many personal posses
sions Of the Coolidges for shipment
10 Northampton.
In the Herbert Hoover home on
S street, packing also is going on.
1t is said to be absorbing many of
the waking hours of the future
mistress of the White House.
The Hoovers have declined all
social invitations since their return
here from South America, and have
had only close friends with them
for informal dinners, 1uncheons and
teas.
The influx of gifts for the Hoo
vers already has begun. On their
South American trip, while they
graciously declined as many things
as possible, they received such great
numbers of lovely presents that the
packing situation is even more
complicated than it otherwise would
be-
The Coolidges have several dogs
whose future soon must be decided.
They already have sent Boston

believed that President Coolidge's
favorite, a quiet little chow called
Tiny Tim, will be kept as a house

Song Hit Specialist.

VINCENT J. CoLLING, musical di-
rector Of the Charles Emerson
Cook production at the Belasco, is esti-
mated to have been responsible for the
success of some 200 song hits during his
association Of 20 weeks with the COM
pany. He Is described as the good
looking red-haired, freckle-faced chap In
the tuxedo" whom audiences at the Be-
lasco have seen directing the orchestra.
In addition to his directorial, activities
Mr.. Colling rehearses the vocal numbers
of the companys principals and chorus.
He Is said to work IL hours day;
for diversion he sits at the piano and
composes original pieces of his own.
Something like the plodding postman
who could think Of no more eXhliaratlng
fashion of spending his weekly holiday
than In going for a long walk.
Colling is still under 30. but he has
had wide and interesting musical
background. A number of years ago,
when he first went to musical producers
seeking a dictatorship, he was invari-
ably rejected as too young. He reSorted
to the time-honored subterfuge of grow
ing mustache and achieved the re-
quired dignity. At % he was the con-
ductor of 20-piece symphony orches-
ira which toured the country with the
film The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
Before that he had directed music
for The Birth of a Nation" and
was, for a number of seasons, the
musical director of mo, No. Nannette,"
and Fannie Brice's vaudeville tours. For
several years he worked with Irving
Berlin in New York.
Mr. Colling has written some so origi-
nal numbers for vaudeville acts now
touring the country.
