PILGRIMAGE TO
 COOLIDGE CRAVE
 BY THERMOMETERS
Memorial Is Turned into Attack On New Deal
 By Republicans

Plymouth, Vt, Aug 3-(UP)- vermonters made pilgrimage to the grave of Calvin Coolidge today, 11th anniversary of his Rssumption of the presidency, ana, by word and pageantry called on the Amer- ican nation to defend it's constitu- ton as he did.
 A visible audience of many thousands that included the for- mer presidents widow, and radio listeners in the United States and Great Britain heard Congressman James M. Beck of Pennsylvania, principal speaker, assail the thew dear' and predict that "when the American people recover from the prostration of this unprecedented economic catastrophe, there will be a revival of the true spirit of con- stitutionalism."
 The same theme was stressed by other prominent republicans repre-. senting several states. Supplement- ing the speaking program there were concerts, drills and colorful pageants depicting the Spirit of '76", and exploits of the Green Mountain Boys, Ethan Allen Seth Warner, and Remember Baker.
 The setting for this 'rededica- tion of the constitution as it's re- publican sponsors called it, was a clearing across from sloping Ply mouth Notch cemetery, in a na- tural amphitheater formed by tree lined hills. Only a few hundred yards away was the white. ramb- ling homestead where Calvin Cool idge spent his boyhood and where, on news of President Harding's death he arose from bed early on the morning of August 3, 1928, to recite the presidents oath to his father by lamplight.

And this year they are legion
and smart as they can be.
I can't help being enthusiastic
about them for two reasons, first
because I love tailored clothes
so dearly, and secondly because
they are practical and I am
likewise an ardent admirer OF
clothes that you can wear long
time and happily.
So in speaking of tweed sports
coats, in calling them sports
clothes, we really mean those
coats that can be worn for town
informally of course) for coun-
try, and for sports events any
where.
Some Fur Used
The majority of the coats are
without fur trimming, though
some of the Smartest have flat
fur revers, or scarf ends of some
short-haired fur. Beaver or
nutria on brown tweed is smart,
and something like black cara
cul or gray krimmer may be
used on green, on black ana
white, and so on.
To my mind the SmarteSt
style is the regulation English
cut topcoat with wide reverS
and belted back. In fact I
bought one myself, complete
with separate skirt. But must
admit that I think they are go
ing to be seen on every side.
Such coats must be well cut and
well fitted, or they will look
rather cheap. Not that they must
be expensive, for some fine ones
are seen about town in medium
price ranges. Just be sure yours
is cut right in the first place.
then fitted we'll.
Big PlaidS Here
Other tweeds, corduroy too,
are made in styles a little less
tailored, and some are straight
line. The Harrises and similar
tweeds are cut straighter than
last year, it seems to me. Just
like a mans topcoat, vent in
the back and all. I've seen
good ones from $16.95 up.
Big plaids are a welcome re-
lief to some people, after so
much plain fabric, and small
checks and plaids. They are
made either strictly tailored, or
in versions with sleeve and col
lar detail that make them a

Snoppy Goats
Are Here

PARIS.-Even sports cos
tunes are quite luxurious.
Fabrics containing a mixture of
wool and slit cellulose film,
the latter often disposed in
Jarres as in the rough Marcas-
sin, are used by all the leading
dresSmakers.
Ensembles have often three
and sometimes four pieces, and
this gives a chance for clever
combinations. Ensembles are
very practical and warm for
winter days. Some have a
heavy Wrap-around top coat
or large cape. such as sponsored
by Rochas. worn over a three
quarter coat or hip jacket in
contrasting color with the skirt,
and completed by a blouse.
RochaS has obtained marvellous
color schemes with this sort
of ensemble by combining
shades OF soft green with pur-
plish tones, mixing plain mate
rials with Subdued checks, plain
wool with fabrics combining a
mixture of wool and slit cellu-
lose film. Another clever combi-
nation of colorS for sports cos
tunes in this house embodies
iron gray with vermilion red
and royal blues.
Goats are especially snappy
this season. Each dressmaker
seems to have a special idea
about their fastening. Some
have a diagonal effect in front:
some still carry a sort of lapel
buttoned down with plastic or
metal buttons. Other models
have a fur waistcoat and
sleeves, particularly in leopard
or Sealskin.

Those who know the latter
here are probably much sur
prised to learn of his flair

They know him, perhaps,
solely as Jimmie the banker.
At any rate, he has great

VERSION IN THE COCKTAIL LOUNGES OF WASHINGTON HOSTERE
MoyfIower Lounge Offers
Amusement
By BEAU McALLISTER

A jaunt to the Cocktail Lounge at the Mayflower
proves to us that the pleasant pastime of sitting
around at small tables and slipping refreshing
drinks to the accompaniment of soft music is
exceedingly popular-and that it is form of di-
version here to stay.
Drinking in this manner seems so much more
casual than it did in the old prohibition when so
many would "stock up" for fear of not getting alco
holic refreshments later. Now everyone has an

little different, though of course
they are never trimmed"
Nearly all the coats either
have a skirt with them, or the
store selling them can get you
a skirt to match, so that you
can have a stunning suit for
very little more. Sometimes
it's smart to buy a plaid or
checked skirt for a plain coat
or vice-versa. And of course
two skirts and several sweaters
or blouses gives you infinite
variety.

The materials themselves are
sleek, never shaggy. There are
velvets. from silk to cotton, but
all as shiny as a freshly
brushed spaniel. You can find
them plain or printed as dizzily
As debutante cottons. They are
clipped or ribbed and some
have an antique look. Mohalr
is now mothproof, and syn
thetic horsehair is made IN
plaid for the first time here.
Cottons Everywhere
Cottons still look like any
thing but cotton. They look
like wool homespun or tweed
and are right up the American
revival alley. They come out as
chintzes and there is a mad
rush of cotton chenilles. Some
times this means chenille stripes
on net in enhancing glass cur
tain material. Linen chenille is
exciting, too, especially in a mod
ern room. There is rayon
mixed up somewhere in half
the cottons and in linen and
even velvet.
The news of damasks is that
there are more and more OF
them, These are not Italian
ate. They are bestrewn with
large flowers, willful and mod
ern, on open grounds. Some
times cotton, mercerlzed ana
shining.
Patterns Popular
Patterns are pretty grand.

century rooms. Then, OF
course, be it ever so humble,
home is not home without a
bit of Chinese. This does not
mean Chinese Modern, but
good old Manchu Chinese.
Modern designs are as you
like them, horizontal stripes
still outrageously smart, and
Roman stripes and plaidS. But
It is a sabbatical year for her
ringboneS, chevrons and even
diagonal stripes. They were so
tired.
Little laurel wreaths are re-
firing in confusion before bold
architectural designs, and so

ANDERSON DRILLS ] DEFENSE AGAINST
 FORWARD PASSES
Holy Cross Work Late for Catholic University
 Game Tomorrow

Worcester, Oct 12-Stressing de- fense against forward passes, the Holy Cross football squad worked well into darkness last night as the final preparation for the Catholic university game here tomorrow. Reported as big and strong. the Cardinals, packing plenty of weight and possessing an overhead attack capable of giving their opponents a busy afternoon, Dutch" Berg mans team probably will give the Crusaders a testing out here prior to the. Harvard game.
 Two Worcester Boys
 Dr Eddie Anderson, Crusader coach, in the past week has given his boys a thorough going over. He has worked on tackling, blocking and all three elevens have had plenty of action on the polishing off of their own attack. Bill La- jousky, guard, and Bill Adamai- tis, a back, Worcester boys, are with the Cardinals and booked to start for. Bergman's outfit. Local interest in the visiting team will center on these lads.
 Anderson drilled three elevens yesterday afternoon in dummy scrimmages against the Cardinal aerial attack. Joe Shekeetski, back field coach who secuted Catholic university. put on the Cardinal ar- tack with reserves. AS the long drill went on the Crusaders showed plenty of defense and held the re- serves to a standstill.
 Working against the Cardinal plays, Anderson used his probable starting eleven. He had Bill Ryan at center, Harvey and Lingua tackles, Luciano and Moran guards, Riccardi and Brogan ends, Kidd quarterback, Hobin left. Kuziora right, and Yablonski fullback. Paul Brogan has recovered from a slight knee injury and Anderson plans on starting him at right end.
 The Crusaders enjoyed a light practice session this morning. In the afternoon they will trek to Chestnut Hill to watch Boston col- lege and Fordham, as the guests of the Boston College Athletic as- sociation. The Cardinals. 33 strong, are scheduled to arrive i'll town this afternoon and are sched- dled to hold practice drill On Fitton field.

Vincent and Luddy Burke, or Joe Mal0neys manager were fruitless last night It is known, however, that among the incoming stars will be one of the leading kickers of New Eng land. The Tribes are aware of Pivits Pavlikovic's ability to boot the pikskin for Thomaston ana they plan to make certain the for- mer Fordham star will have an equal in the combat.
 Ray Foley Secured
 Completion of the assignments of officials took place last night with the appointment of Raymond Foley of Naugatuck as the umpire Eddie Hrat of Cheshire is to ref cree the game, and Chick Kelley local sports writer, is to be the linesman.

Silver-haired Bill Brown, fire- brand of New York state athletic commission, is ready to knock the polite leather pushers into a dras- tic right about-face.
 No More Waltzes
 No more of these eight and 10- round waltzes for guys who are trying to prove their right to a title fight in any division,'' says Com missioner Brown. And no more winning decisions for fellows who are about to be packed out of the ring on stretchers."
 From now on it's going to be a hard boiled, slam-bang business in which fighters must shoot the works.
 Two Good Proposals
 Accordingly on Tuesday he will propose at the commission meeting that CD all important" bouts-- not only title affairs must be fought over the 15-round route, and (2) condition of the boxers at the end of the fight must have an import ant part in determining the winner. No longer will the round by round scoring system be used alone.
