THAT would have to be Mr..
l. Coolidge's position. 1t was the
mood of his entire administration.
In spite of the New England twang,
the austere life, and the Plymouth
Rock eountenance, Calvin Coolidge
was playboy President.
It is quite true that he thrust no
vine leaves in his hair and that he
came out of the White House with
a competence. Nor did he ever in
dulge in that popular political game
of "I1l match my private life with
yours-best two out Of three"
And yet James Pericles Walker
was a Small-time Charlie compared
to Calvin Coolidge in the matter
of jamborees. Mr.. Coolidge threw
the largest and the most expensive
party this land ever has known.
BY the most ironical coincidence,
it was frugal little New Englarder
who played the pipes of Pan while

Keeping Cool With Cal
THE language is not the language
i of Calvin Coolidge, but the
sentiments are. And the very fact
that everybody thought of him as
Cautious Cal made his singularly
bad counsel all the more potent.
Il guess I was little tirnid and
unpatriotic," said the Wall Street
gambler after hearing Calvin Cool
idge. 'Never sell America short.
Everything's going to three hun
dred."
In strictly personal sense, Calvin
Coolidge was only a kibitzer. but
the speculative mania had stirred
his blood, too. He liked to peek over
the shoulders of his countrymen and
hear the little ball click as it went
round and round.
And so he stood in Madison
Square Garden, SNUG, Sanctimonious
and little condescending toward
Herbert Hoover, the unfortunate in
the hair shirt. The New England
conscience of Calvin Coolidge is
quite clear.
After all, he didn't actually advise
anybody to gamble. All he said was.
Boys, you can't lose"

He asked Earl Miller, IT'S Lyon avenue,
Lyon Village, to summon police from
the Bethesda Substation of the Mont

In one of his many speeches, Waters
told the men arrangements had been
made for him to contact" Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the Democratic presidential
nominee, for the latter's views on the
bonus issue Waters said he would give
them verbatim report on Roosevelt's
reply.

yesterday morning to ask Congress not
to adjourn before passing bonus pay
ment bill, but found the legislators al
ready had left for the holiday. The
demonstration will be repeated at 9 am.

Some 10000 veterans camped on the
Capitol steps for four hours, chagrined
at the absence of the Senate and House,
