SANTA'S PACK Ry Mary Graham Bonner


 The sleigh carried them rapidly ', up to the part of the world where they had been before when the Little Black Clock had taken them to see Santa Claus. And there he was, all wrapped up in a great red coat with sash tied around it, red stocking cap on his head and packs and packs of presents, but one pack which was quite the most enormous of all.
 The reindeer were waiting and ready.
 We mustn't delay him this eve ming" said the Little Black Clock. wen simply watch him as he starts off"
 Peggy was quite certain she saw the white rabbit near the top of tho pack-the one she had wanted, and John was quite sure that he saw the Indian suit sticking out of a paper package.
 But they didn't say word. They stood up in their own sleigh and watched Santa Claus packing every thing into his. And then he was off
 Never had they believed reindeer could travel so quickly Never had they believed reindeer could look so gay and joyous and delighted at the prospect of any trip.
 Never had they believed Santa Claus could carry so much with him.
 Oh, such toys and toys and toys as he had. Presents were sticking out from all parts of the sleigh. They had never seen anything like it.
 Come now! Come now, my fine reindeerT shouted Santa Claus.
 Its Christmas Eve. The chil dren will all be up early tomor- row morning"
 And the bells jingled in the frosty, beautiful, cold air as Santa Claus dashed off on his wonderful yearly trip.

Restoring Japan's Currency.
(NeW York Times

Had it not been for the devastating effects of the great earthquake of 1923, Japan would doubt
 less have restored her currency to gold basis be- fore this. AS it is the opening of a credit of S50000000 in London and New York just an nounced, coincident with the removal of the ban on the exportation of gold means that Japan is
 taking the final steps to reestabish her currency lon the pre-war basis.
 She is the last of the Allies to do so. Those
 familiar with the financial and industrial depres- sons through which she has passed during the last decade are surprised not so much that she should have been slow that she should so
 soon have been able to effect this desired restora- tion. Few countries so badly hit by the postwar deflation as was Japan. The earthquake destroyed property valued in billions of dollars This is to make no mention of the toll of lives by the subsequent fires in Yokohama and Tokio Con-

THE EX-pREsIDENT PROBLEM AGAIN.

The Washington ear IS sensative-partcularly so when politics are involved It catches rumors quick ly be the breathing behind them never so gentle And the Washington mind readily associates pontical rlmors with known half-known facts ana soon all tongues wag. The latest in Washington IS that former President Coolidge is being urged to enter the lists against President Hoover for the Repuo- I;can Presidential nomination in 1892. The following special dispatch from the Washington bureau of the politically wise New York World is significant;
 Political circles were buzzing today with report that President Hoover and Chairman Huston of the Republican National Com mittee are doing their utmost to induce Calvin Coolidge to run for the Senate next year in Massachusetts.
 Three varying motives are alleged to be in the background: l. To get rid of ex- Gov Alvan T. Fuller a candidate. 2 To unite the G. O. P in the Bay State which went to Smith last fall 3. To keep MT Coolidge from being candidate for the Presidency in 1882.
 The report probably would have had t- tie notice had it not been circulated from Republican source regarded informed Various Republican leaders said they had heard it and most of them disbelieved 1t could have any substance
 Massachusetts politics a subject of deep and continuing concern to the party managers and many rumors are the suit The latest tale is plausibly linked to Senator Gillett's recent announcement he would retire. His announcement, it is inferred was part of the scheme to clear the path for MT Coolidge.
 Months ago soundings taken in the Bay State and party managers concluded that MT. Coolidge could not be lured into the race. He said to have his eye a certain lucrative position in private busi- ness.
 It has never been any secret that the relations between MT. Hoover and MT. Cool idge have been cool to the point of frosti- and that various Hoover leaders see what is referred to here the spectre of Calvin Coolidge" lowering over the White House.
 The fact that MT. Coolidge gave dinner to group of Massachusetts newspaper men last week at which there were cigars and other ostensible confessions of candidacy served to give fresh alarm to the Hoover managers.
 This is not the first time the eX-Presdent prob. lem has caused less commotion and worry to the Republican Party. It began with Gen. Grant who being re-nominated in 1880 It came forth furiously when the unique Theodore Roosevelt was an ex-President
 The Democrats have had but recent real ex-Presdent problenl-that of Cleveland. They set tied it by nominating and electng him again after a lapse of four years. But then the Democrats have had only two Presidents since the Republicans perplexng ex-President situation before the Civi War when Martin Van Buren was a Presidential candidate for about twenty years He was elected in 1886, nominated and defeated in 1840 an active candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1844

No H0rSeShOeS
Endurance Pilots Want
Bad Luck Tokens for
Friday, 18th.

Friday the thirteenth, black
cats, broken mirrors, spilled salt
and al other bad luck" supersti-
tons will be defed by Lieutenants
Walter R. Peck and Lawrence
Genaro, pilots of the Indianapolis
Flamingo endurance plane, on the
start of their flight, according to
present plans.
Major H. Leroy Muller, fight
manager, today decided the fiers
should practice refuelings for sew
eral days and Friday, Sept. 10,
tentatively has been set for the
take-off.
IF we can start on Friday, we
might as we'll defy all the other
superstitious omens," Muller said.
Accordingly, Muller is seeking a
dozen or more black cats the
blacker the better to turn loose in
front of the plane at the take-off,
a number of mirrors for Peck and
Genaro to break before they leave
the ground, and ladders for them
to walk under as they enter their
plane at Hoosier airport.
The pilots will get out Of bed
on the wrong side the morning of
the take-off and will spill some
salt on the hangar floor.
AS a GROWING touch, they will
light three cigarets from one
match just before entering the
plane, and will look backward as
they take off.
Maybe all these bad luck signs
will counteract each other and
give us enough good luck to break
the present 420-hour sustained
flight record" the pilots unused.
Nearly three hours was spent
Monday in practicing refueling
maneuvering, practice ceasing
when the Douglass refueling plan
ran out of gas and made a safe
forced landing.

PRODUCTION OF
GRAPES TO HIT
NORMAL LEVEL
Growers, Government Strive
to Keep Product From
'LeggerS.
BY GEORGE d. CRTSSEY
limited Press staff Cnrresnnnhent

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-After
years of complications due to pro-
hibition, with panic and prosperity
alternating, indications are that the
business of producing grapes will
strike normal level this season.
Roughly, CALIFORNIA; 639, 927 acres
OF vineyards will yield 1871 900 tons
of grapes and raisins this year
giving the growers approximately
$40, 100000.
The acreage is the smallest since
1925 and the tonnage likewise is less
than in recent years. More grapes
and raisins, for instance, were raised
in 1922, and in ali succeeding years
since that date, with the exception
of the short crop season of 1924.
Your Own Policemen
One bothersome phase of the "red
ink" problem has been removed.
When grape grower speaks of "red
ink" he refers to the loss side of
ledgers, which record that the price
received was less than shipping
costs.
But the "red ink" wine problem
in which the prohibition bureau is
interested still remains-and for the
first time responsibility is on the
shoulders of the raisin men.
BE your own policeman" said Dr.
J. G. Doran, federal prohibition
commissioner, when he visited the
great grape growing region of the
sunny San Joaquin valley, not long
ago.

Aid was pledged by cooperative
organizations to keep the grape and

UPSET CRUISER
SLASH PROJECT
Hoover'S Dream of Naval
Reduction MenaCed by
MaCDonaId's Stand.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Presi-
dent Hoover'S dream Of naval re-
duction in the cruiser class. appeared
to be fading today, as discussion Of
Premier MacDonald's estimate of
British needs continued.
Unless Macdonald can be per-
suaded to go against his admiralty,
the most likely result Of the nego-
tiations in progress between London
and Washington will. be limitation
of cruiser strength, instead of re-
duction.
Application Of the reduction prin-
ciple advanced by Mr.. Hoover in his
Memorial day speech at Arlington
national cemetery would be re-
stricted to capital ships and possibly
submarines if the cruiser problem
were found to be insoluble along
these lines.
To Appeal to England
An effort will be made to salvage
the Presidents cruiser reduction
program by appealing to MacDon-
aid, the United Press understands,
but the tight-lipped reticence OF per-
sons actually on the inside of the
negotiations indicates doubt as to
the outcome. Policies of humanity
and economy entered into the naval
reduction program as stated by MI.

Secretary of State Stimson.

He added the authorized and con-

Great Britain has not been able 10
scale her cruiser requirements down
to a, point at which the United
States could abandon any large por-

abandoning even the senolance Oh

Mr.. Hoover's advisers do not pc

agreements which did not leave the
United States and Great Britain
about equal in cruiser strength.
Failure to achieve actual cruiser
reduction would be Disappointing TO
the administration, but not fatal TO
the entire naval project. Reduc-

But there is an end to what gov

Pilots Cause Most
Howard produced statistics to
SHOW most air accidents are due to
errors of pilots, rather than to poor
ships. During the last six months
OF 1923 nearly SO per cent Of air
accidents were attributed by the ae-
romantics buraeu to human failure
as compared with 16 per cent blamed
on faulty power plants and 5 per
cent on structural weakness OF

Now we are working on the per-
sonal element, the pilot. On Sept.
