Coolidge Speaks
 for Insurance in Radio Talk

New York, Oct 7-(UP)-For- mer President Calvin Coolidge, fn- surance company director. made a radio speech from his home in Northampton, Mass, last night, up- holding insurance as a sound in- vestment in times of depression.
 The former president quoted statistics showing the amount of money insurance companies paid out last year to policy holders;
 Do not borrow on your policies except as a last resort" he ad- vised. "because a policy loan puts a mortgage upon your contract. impairs its value. and dimfnishes the amount of protection to your beneficiaries."
 Coolidge's speech was part of a program broadcast over a national broadcasting company hookup by the New York Life Insurance Com pany, of which he is director.

"Who is missing, Harry" Cor rinne asked again. as her husband opened the small crumpled hand kerchief he had found by the tele- phone. Whose handkerchief did you find?"
 Tt has an S' in the corner" Harry answered. "AH S! I must have dropped 1t when went through the room.' Sarah said quickly.
 But I didn't know you were that near the telephone table, Miss Slade," the quick voice of the prose cutor told her. You said that you weren't"
 T wasn't" She threw her head high. But maybe someone kicked it over that way"
 Not likely" His voice was dry. ''No one has been playing drop the handkerchief or kick the handker- chief for the last hour."
 "It isn't Sarah's handkerchief" Harry explained. That call was to tell me that Sybil Lester has dis appeared"
 ''Disappeared!" They said 1t to- gether like chorus, every voice in the room contributing.
 "Got out of her room somehow and got away. There's a search for her. How she managed 1t nobody knows. She was too weak to go very far. But I have hunch she got too far as it was"
 New meaning sprang into the faces of the detectives. Orders were issued quickly. The trail was taken up. Everyone seemed to catch at the rag-tag and of a sudden chance that it was Sybil who had shot Cliff ford.
 The scouting party started. An hour passed. The girls, waiting fearfully, faces white and nerves quivering. under the sudden lashes that fortune was giving them, watched the clock and waited for the nightmare to end. A detective stood on guard. Harry and Jack had gone away to help.
 Finally Corrinne jumped up.
 "I'll go mad if I sit here another minute. I can see Clifford's face yet. And his syes. They didn't close when he fell. They seemed to stare so There's a penny on the floor yet from his pocket. Two of them. Don't they put pennies on dead mems eyes sometimes? They should be saved. I've got to get away
 So do l." Sarah spoke quickly, too. "Can we?"
 They'll acuse you of burying gun or something if we go out doors," Sue answered. If Sybil did the deed and who else would? she'll get out of 1t. She always does. The king can do no wrong. And the kings daughter is the princess!"
 T don't know about that this time" Sarah told her. Quite few thrones are topping over. Sybil may have to take her medicine"

had encouraged him at every op- portunity.
 She didn't know exactly what she wanted to do. Half the time she thought she would marry Tom my but he somehow always suc- ceeded in upsetting her when they were together. Then, angry with him, she could not say yes. It was a trying position for one who had never cultivated unselfishness and Irene was in maze of doubts.
 We'll, she thought, looking at Tommy over her soda, she could wait until Beryl actually went on the air" and then decide. Beryl might be a flop and then nome would be home once more.
 That would not be long away now. Beryl's debut was to take place in just a few days. And there was no danger in putting Tommy off. f&
 And so Tommy, led on by Irene in her uncertainty and rebuffed by her as a result of their clashing viewpoints. found himself in a maze, too.
 He did not notice that his Aunt Emma was looking far from well and he quite forgot to take any special notice of Beryls debut.
 It occurred on rainy night, thereby affording Irene an excuse to stay at home and listen in on the radio without admitting that

MT. ,Lacey,s business, like that of everyone else. had been slow. Mrs. Lacey hated to worry him with too frequent requests for money and yet, she found that dressing herself and three daughters called for mode than she thought she ought to spend. She devised economies and studied every expenditure.
 She found that it was economy to buy two pairs of stocking of the identical shade. Then if one stocking had run, a hole at ankle or heel, 1t was easy to replace 1t with one ifrom the reserve. pair. In working this scheme she had to rotate the wearing so that one pair had not had so many washings that the color or texture was changed. She found that 1t was economy to have two pairs of shoes and to wear one pair for a day or two and then change to other pair. Strange as it may seem, the leather lasted longer if given rests between wearings.
 In buying gloves she chose the washable kind. With textile gloves this was simple. But there were cer- tain points of technique to be ob- served in washing leather ones. Pig skin should be scrubbed both inside and out in mild soap suds and rinsed until every trace of soap is gone. Chamois gloves should be washed in mild soap suds and rinsed in wa ter in which there is slight soapiness.
 White leather bags could be
 cleansed. she found, by using art gum or spongy rubber erasers. When extremely soiled cream cleaner used for white kid gloves would do the trick.

group of young fellows John knows are going, and you think 1t would be nice for him to know so many people when he goes away. Again that is a good reason, but still not good enough.
 If possible, go and visit some of the places you have in mind. Or write to the deans of admission or the registrars of the different schools, and find out their trends of training, what they accent, what type of student will fit and who will not It is only fair if you want your boy or girl to be happy in his school life and to succeed in his work, fair to him and fair to the school. 4
 Have Social Ambitions
 There is one motive that governs the placing of so many girls now adays, and feel that must speak of it. Many mothers seem to be- come extremely ambitious for their daughters in a social way when it becomes to choosing a last school. Certainly we want our daughters to have nice friends and to make more. but I know of nothing more cruel than to place a girl in an environ ment with the dressing, spending, or general rate of living of the other girls. True. in many of our hest schools things are regulated so that there is no class distinction, but in some there is less effort made to re- duce the comparison. Will your daughter fit in such a school? Will she do her best work there?
 Be sure that she will be happy, that she will develop, and make |real friends instead of cardboard ones, wherever you send her. And place her where her natural choice of work will get it's greatest inspira- tion. ....

Be sure that the college or school you are choosing for your son or daughter this spring is suitable.
 One has to shop for schools just as he shops for anything else, and 1t seems strange that so many par- ents choose them for almost every reason but the right ones.
 Why do you want John to go to .Oakleaf? It is because Johns father or grandfather went there? I like the sentiment and it is fine reason. but not enough. Perhaps Oakleaf suited both the other men admira- ply. We'll say for instance that they were cut out for law and 1t. is well known. that 50 per cent of the stu dents there intend to be lawyers, or to go into something that needs the same foundation that law course needs.
 School Don't Want Misfits
 But if John is a born engineer, or thinks he wants to be a doctor. or if he Is creative and has a lean ing toward the arts, not only is Oak leaf not the right place for him but Oakleaf doesn't want him.

In every household, whether the housewife in her own cook or not. the Sunday dinner is more or less of a problem. The time-honored custom of an elaborate dinner on Sunday which still prevails in many sections of the country usually means that the cook is busier on the day of rest" than any other day in the week and the family is apt to over-eat.
