COOLIDGE ARTICLE
BENEFITS HOOVER
Possible Counter Attack in
1882 Is Averted, Though
There Are Skeptics.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Politically speaking, an event Of no
small Importance to the Hoover admin
istration occurred last week, when CAL
vim Coolidge revealed in his magazine
article that he has no intention of re-
turning to public life.
It means that one of the most danger
Gus counter attacks which could have
been made on Mr.. HooverS political
future has been eliminated. Mr.. Cool
idge may or may not approve all that
Mr.. Hoover has done-no two men can
do things the same way In the preSi-
dency, anyhow-but whatever inner
thoughts or criticism the former Presi-
dent may have will not become the
nucleus Of an effort to wrest the nomi-
nation from Mr.. Hoover in 1882, and
split the Republican party, as happened
in 1912.
Important to Party.
This Is important not alone to Mr.
Hoover, but to the party as a whole, and
to members of Congress who might have
been drawn into such an internal cleav-
age. Aff1rmatively, 1t is helpful to the
President, because, for several weeks,
the name of Coolidge has been men,
toned so often in political discussions
that 1t has indicated possible can
didacy in 1882. And the moment any
considerable number Of people begin
talking about nominating some one else
or even suggesting that some one will
be a rival for the presidential nomina-
ton 1t weakenS the incumhents hold on
his own party.
Mr.. Coolidge's statement, therefore,
clears the air and leaves to Mr.. Hoover
the denomination field, unen1barraSsed
by a former President, who alone could
expect to WELD with former office hold
ers and political leaders an influence
comparable TO that of the titular leader
of the party.
Gratitude is expressed in administra-
ton quarters here that Mr.. Coolidge
sQuelched the movement on his behalf
so promptly, and that he did not allow
it to grow to such proportions that it
would have been difncult to repress at
later date.
Views Of Skeptics.
Incidentally, there are skeptics who
regard even the Coolidge utterance as
piece of politics. They insist Mr.. Cool
idge Is getting himself on record early.
and that he will not feel responsible for
any movement that might conceivably
develop to draft him for 1882, If the
party faces an emergency.
OO 1dI dS OCLlONAoUO dAC VIII
cerned, they would prefer Hoover to
Coolidge in 1882. They think their
chances Of success are better, and they
point out that If MFR. Coolidge were the
nominee he would run on his own rec
ord and the prosperity Of his era in
ONCE, whereas Mr.. Hoover Is compelled
to run on the record his administration
will have made between March, 1929,
and November, 1882, and will have to
face the ill-effectS, II any, that may
persist as o consequence Of the panic
of 1929.
From q political viewpoint, the Cool
idge announcement Il most significant.
It concentrates the stack on Mr.. Hoo
YER and it also concentrates the Hoover
strength within the Republican party as
the single leadership on which the vari-
Gus elements in the party must stake
their fortunes in the 1882 election.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by Drs Louis 3. Risch-

IT is. not possible for every
u family to afford an elabor-
ate nursery for the care Of
the new baby, yet certainly
every home should make an ef-
fort to set aside a room in which
the infant can sleep and be
taken care Of.
This Is very essential to a
child's health. A nursery there
fore, is far from being q luxury.
1t is almost indispensable.
Always have the nursery the
best ventilated and the sunniest
room available.
Remember that a child passes
about four-fifths Of its time in
a single room during its first
year and two-thirds Of its time
in that room during the first
two or three years.
Sunlight Is an absolute neces-
ity If a child Is to be kept
healthy. A sunny room con-
tains less humidity and less or
ganic matter than one in which
the light is diffused. Try al
ways to get a room with south
ern exposure for your baby.
Also keep the nursery clean
-spotleSsly clean.
No work should be done in a
nursery such as cooking or wash
ing or ironing. It is best, also,
If no plumbing exists which can
produce poisonous odors.
For the winter the open fire
Is by all odds the healthieSt.
This however, is not always pos
Sible. Steam heat is not the
best, but gas and oil stoves are
the worst inaSmuch as they use
UP so much Of the rooms sup
ply Of oxygen.
Always be sure to have plenty
Of fresh air so that the oxygen
supply will be kept up and the
room feel refreshing.
So far as the temperature Of
the room goes, the average
should be about 70 degrees
Farehnheit. 1t would be better,
however, to have it a little
lower, say 68, than higher.
1t is essential. therefore, that
every nursery room contain a
thermometer, not as an orna-
ment, but for use. Consult the
thermometer frequently as to
the temperature and do not
guess at it.
During the night for the first
few nights the temperature
should never be allowed to fall
below IS degrees. After the
child is more robust, during the
second year, it can stand q
night temperature of so and
during later years even one as
low as so.
Meyer allow draughts in the
nursery. Protect against these
with screens or, better, with
ventilators in the windows,
boards or glass placed across
the bottom.
Try by all means to keep the
nursery quiet so that the child
may be able to relax and sleep.
An infant sleeps many. many
hours and even If 1t sleeps with
