WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. U.P)-.
One of the permanent and most in =
scrutable mysteries of Washington
is why all Presidents seem to be
unpopular during their terms of
office here. They may be heroes to
the nation at large, but generally
speaking they are just something to
be endured for a few years SO far
as Washingtonians go. This is
probably the one city in the coun-
try where the Presidents picture on
a movie screen does not evoke ap-
plause.
President Hoover is no exception,
and it is interesting in his case to
note a certain nostalgia when peo-
pie recall the reign of Calvin Cool
idge, they comment with infrequen-
cy on Mr.. Coolidge's humor, con-
trasting him with Mr.. Hoover. And
as a matter of fact, some of the
Coolidge jokes in retrospect lool.
pretty good.
There was the time when someone
gave the White House female rae
coon named Rebecca. The event
was duly chronicled in the press
Then one day it appeared that Re-
becca craved male society. A robust
he raccoon was procured and intro
duced TO her. No name was an
nounced for him, SO the reporters
decided to call him Horace.
One day in press conference Cool
idge remarked in his dry nasal
twang;
"Yew boys have been writing quite
bit about this raccoon, and call
ing him Horace. His names not
Horace"
The boys" waited eXpectantly to
learn the correct name, but Cool
idge only preserved a solemn ex-
preston and said no more.

HARDING MOTHERS
CLUB WILL MEET

Friday afternoon, December 4, is
the date set for the meeting of the
Harding School Mothers club which
will open promptly at 2:30 o'clock
in the kindergarten room. AS many
items of business must be trans
acted all members are urged to be
on time.
An interesting program has been
arranged. Miss Edith Eicke, school
nurse, will talk on the needs of the
school child, and Mrs. Wooda Blesy
will present several of her students
in dance numbers.
The club announces that it has
received donations for its milk fund
from eight citizens having no con-
nection with the school. The gifts
have ranged from so cents to S25.
Since one dollar will take care of
milk for one child over a period of
four weeks, the gifts mean great
deal to the under-n -nourished chill
dren of the school. Since the in
stitution of the milk fund and the
purchasing of milk for the children,
many are showing results in gain
ing weight.
