Washington, March a. Calvin
Coolidge goes out Of office and the
feature stories about him say he Is a
changed Calvin. but 1t is difficult to
see just wherein he is altered.
As a matter Of fact he seems To
be just about the same Calvin who
moved into the white house In 1923
He has had more effect on the pres
ldency. II anything, than the pres
ldency has had on Calvin. He is just
as sour. just as jolly. just as timid,
just as brave. just as happy. just as
glum. just as selfish, just rs self
sacrificing. Just as materialistic, as
he ever was
And only five or six years older.

He has taken his job seriously, up
to the last moment, pursuing the ap-
pallingly even tenor Of his ways with
out speeding up or slowing down Not
too much significance should be at
tached to the fact that he took a
walk In February without his over
coat. Such an escapade is nothing
new In the life of Calvin Coolidge
Only short time after he became
president he enjoyed in all its ecstatic
hilarity the experience Of watching a
girl turn flapjacks in the window
Of local restaurant. Undoubtedly
he derived more genuine pleasure
than II the girl had merely been turn
ing flipflops.
They do say that the great
change" in Calvin Coolidge was really
irst noticed by the acutely observant
when he donned cowboy clothes pre-
sented him by Boy Scouts in South
Dakota. That meant. one reads. that
he had decided to hold office no more
and was setting about to emancipate
himself from the repressive require
ments Of complete dignity.
All sorts OF explanations have been
Offered for the presidents most un-
usual conduct upon that occasion.

Mrs. Merritt was right.
Charles WAS having an af-

was just like other men.
Tears crept from Mary'S
eyes but her soft chin hard

them away. Charles would
discharge her Immediately
or she-she would leave him.
The doorbell rang. Mary

thought his cheerful "Good

took the letters he handed
her.
Idly she glanced at the
top one, noted the inscription
in the upper left hand corner,
"Ferris Brothers, Jewellers. -
She hadn't bought any
thing from Ferris Brothers
for ages. And Charles
hadn't said anything about
a recent purchase. Swiftly
she opened the envelope and
took out the bill it contained.

Silver-$75."
The words seemed to
dance before Mary,s eyes.
Here was proof. She almost
ran to the telephone.
When the connection was
made she spoke:
"This is Mrs Charles
Parker speaking. I have
just received a bill from You
for $75 for some silver. Will
you please look through your
books and tell me to whom
it was sent3"

Shelby Misguided
Regarding Feeling
Of Juror, He Says
Dismissal Of Hubbs From
Police Force, Which He
Approved, 9 Years Ago.

Assistant Supt. William S. Shelby
stated yesterday that he had been mis-
quoted as saying that he believed that
one of the grand jurors had unkindly
feelings toward him because he had
been discharged from the Police De-
partment nine years ago.
The grand juror questioned, William
B. Hubbs, SO, Of 219 H street, was a
member of the police force from Sep
TENDER 16, 1915, and was tried on
charge of conduct prejudical of the
good order and discipline of the de-
partment, on June 10, 1920. He was
found guilty and was ordered dismissed
from the department on July %, 1920.
The records of the Police Department
do not disclose what the nature Of
the conduct alleged was. but it is said
that the charge grew out of an attack
by Hubs on taxi driver.
Shelby said that at the time Of Hubbs'
dismissal he thought the proper action
had been taken by the Commissioners.
That was more than nine years ago,
however, the inspector added, and he
felt sure that neither Hubbs, nor any
other member of the grand jury had
acted in the present instance out of
any personal feeling.
