he is alive and can be returned to
his own land, what a thrilling tale

A COMMON ERROR

Is there any word in the En-
glish language which is more often
mispronounced than January?
February, as we shall be aware a
few weeks hence, is a formidable
competitor for the dubious honor.
For some reason or other, most
people delight in putting a I'VE
into the names of the two months.
They say Januwary and Febru-
wary. Perhaps this mispronuncia-
ton has always been as common as
it is now but it seems to be more
in evidence this year than ever be-
tore.

CALVIN COOLIDGE

AAL Win SOOL1DoI
The place of Calvin Coolidge in
American history is as secure as
the granite hills of New England.
No American of his time was
more true to the tradition of the
rigidly honest, shrewd, far seeing,
courageous and competent pioneer
spirit that carved the Republic
from the wilderness. He rose
from the soil to the Presidency by
slow and sure steps. His whole
lifetime was one of devotion to the
work in hand.
There are few more amazing
chapters in American history than
the career of this remarkable son
of New England. There was none
of the glamor of the popular lead
er about him. He never courted
applause nor dazzled the multi
tude. He had few of the gifts that
mark the genius. And yet, he ap-
pealed to the hearts of the people
to a greater degree than any A
merican since Lincoln.
The secret of his success was a
simple one-character.
This quiet, serene, silent New
Highlander relied on the simple viz
tues of his Vermont heritage for
guidance. He brought to the
Presidency the plain common SEN
Sc, the desire for orderly living,
the prudence and the sagacity in
finance, the love of the soil and
the passion for even-handed jus
tice that we like to believe is typi-
4caLof New England. .
In the turmoil that followed
the World War the coming of
Calvin Coolidge to the Presidency
was like a great healing spirit. A
merica needed to be reminded of
the things it had forgotten amid
he rush and clamor of a changing
world. As no other man could,
Calvin Coolidge restored the coun-
try to a realization that there still
Aexisted the old traditions which
had built a great nation
And, yet, he conducted no cru
SADIE. He issued no ringing call to
arms. He did not dramatic him.
self as the popular leader. He was
just himself-the calm, efficient,
resolute administrator, indifferent
alike to praise or blame, doing the
days work in the spirit Of faith
full service to the American peo-
pie.
He put aside ambition when he
considered his work done. No one
doubts that he could have been tri-
umphantly reelected in 1928 to
complete a record Of service great
er than any American President
Not even Washington was surer
of the endorsement of a grateful
public.
When he, with such quiet dig
nifty, slipped into private life, he
had won the complete trust and
confidence of the American people.
Gould any man have a finer cpl
taph?
A simple man-but a great one,
He will live in history as in life
an example of American charac-
ter at it's finest.

FOOD INDEX OFF
THIRD MONTH

December was the third con-
secutIve month in which deflation-
ary forces ruled the commodity
markets. On January /, 1888, the
wholesale commodity price index,
compiled by Bradstreet'S Weekly
stood at $6.79O6, IA per cent below
its December / figure.
Coming on top Of declines of
4.3 per cent during october and
IL per cent in November, this lat
est drop has now wiped out over
four-fifthS of the gain registered
between the first of June and the
first of October. Thus by only a
very small margin was the index
restrained from entering the new
year at new depression low.
Price changes among LOG COM
modities, 96 of which are included
in the index, were nearly identical
with the preceding month. There
were 18 increases, 81 declines and
81 remained unchanged. During
November corresponding figures
were 20, 80 and Sc, respectively.
Of the 13 groups into which the
index is divided, four advanced,
seven declined, and two remained
stationary. Two each among the
advances and the declines, how
ever, were Of insignificant proper
tions. Fruits made the largest
gains, 8.4 per cent, and the mis-
cellaneous group rose 3.6 per cent.
Hides and leather lead the de-
clines with a drop of 8.5 per cent.

Loss FOR STEEL
S150,000,000

In estimating production of iron
and steel in 1882 at 13,500,00O
tons, Robert P. Lamont, president
of the American Iron & Steel
Institute, put operating loss at
$15O,00O,O0O for the industry.
Work at the mills averaged 19
per cent of capacity.
The 1882 tonnage is the small
est for which records are avail
able, being little more than half
Of the Is, 5,945 sol tons produced in
1881 and one-third of the 40,669,-
4S3 tons reported in 1880. En-
phaSizing that there must be a
large accumulation of deferred
buying, Lamont stated:
"WhiIe no definite signs Of
recovery have yet appeared,
there is good reason to believe
the Steel-cOnsuming industries
can hardly fail to purchase as
much steel in 1888 as in 1892"

National Capital Open Event
Shift Is Sought By Kenwood
AS New Golf Loop Is Planned

MINOR tournament circuit
~ which will include Washington,
~ Philadelphia and either Balti-
more or Richmond. with at
least trio of open golf events, is being
planned this Winter by the powers that
handle professional tournament play.
Kenwood Golf and Country Club, tired
of taking it on the chin to give Wash
ington q golfing holiday in November,
when weather conditions are uncertain,
is going to hold out for a May date
next year, provided one can be obtained
which does not conflict with the Sec
tional qualifying rounds for the ma
tional open and with plans for the in
vas!on of Britain by small group Of
American professionals. Kenwood also
does not want to conflict with any Of
the local amateur tournaments.
If Kenwood can get a satisfactory
date in May-and the decision is UP to
the Professional Golf Association Tour
naMent Bureau-the local club prob
ably will raise the ante for its event
to $4,000 and will ask the boys to play
72 holes for 1t. Heretofore the National
Capital open has been 54-hole tour
nament.
It is fairly definite now that Llanerch,
in Philadelphia, will stage tourney
next Spring, with Denny Shute, their
British open champion. playing for the
benefit of the home folks and dear old
