BY JOHN !. DAILY.

The horse that Calvin Coolidge rode
each day in the seclusion of the White
House came back to Washington yes
terday and found stall in a health
club in the Woodward Building.
Although the club is exclusively for
men. and numbers among its men,
bership Secretary of Commerce Roper,
former Secretary of War Hurley
Royal Johnson, Robert Fleming of the
Riggs Bank and other notables, first
to get ride on the horse was petite
Marjorie Graves. She happens to be
friend of the owners of the club.
They "sneaked" her in a back way
when the athletically inclined mem
bers of the club we're not looking
and she rode the horse.
Frantic efforts had been made to
get Everett Sanders, secretary to the
late President Coolidge, to take the old
horse out on its first romp since COM
ing back to Washington, but Mr. San
ders could not be located. Mr. Hurley
was out Of town. So. too. were most
of the Republicans of bygone era
and the Democrats refused to mount
the steed
Anyway, the horse got away to a
good start and was put through his
PAGES. There are four different speeds
the canter, the trot, the gallop and
the pace.
When Calvin Coolidge first rode this
horse he got his signals mixed up,
punched the wrong buttons. and had
the mechanical horse going four ways
at once.
AS Everett Sanders remarked: "Mr,
Coolidge was sensitive about that
horse I never talked to him about it.

How a Motion Was Moved Westward

WHEN Americans spoke of the W "west" just l50 years ago they meant the quarter-million square miles of wilderness that stretched between the Great Lakes, the Mississippi on the west, and the Ohio river on the south.
 Originally this vast virgin area was claimed by four states on the basis of grants from the King of England or treaties with the In- dians. Virginia. Connecticut and Massachusetts, for exa mpl c, claimed the right to extend vest ward as far as possible, conceiv- ably to the Pacific, Connecticut clung to the 5000 square miles of the "Western Reserve" until 1900.
 On July 13, l7S7, harassed Congress passed the Ordinance of l787, for governing the Territory northwest of Ohio" It guaranteed religious freedom, right of trial by jury, public schools, and freedom from slavery. In December of that year Gen. Rufus Putnam started an expedition overland from Massachusetts, throu ugh Pennsylvania, down the Ohio to Fort Harmon. Here was estab- lished the outpost and town named for Marie Antoinettc, Marietta. In q year 10000 came to the new country. Today 25,000,000 live in this area and the nation has gone still farther westward.

 Now how on earth would know that?" retorted Sally irritably. If 1t comes to that, how do you know it?"
 You forget, little one, that was in the bond and stock business be- fore became half hotel proprietor Or the proprietor of half a hotel. It's well-knoWn fact. Our firm laid off Great Divide like poison" For moment Sally was silent.

 Tt does not become me to speak i'll of my greatest rival" said Kinks. But it looks as if friend Wilton, for reasons of his own, has slipped over fast one. I simply can't pie ture good house like Brown, Sher- lock recommending Great Divide"
 Sally pondered.
 T don't believe Wilton would do such thing" she said, at last.
 Well" said Kinks, there's one way to find out. If you went in and called Brown, Sherlock on the phone, you might get the real low down. You've just been going on what Wilton's been telling you"
 Sally stood silent for another moment. Then, suddenly, she turned on her heel. Presently Kinks heard her slam the screen door.
 He waited 10 minutes. When Sally came back her face was white and set.
 When get my hands on Will ! ton Ames," she said bitterly, I'm going to tear him into little pieces. Those brokers not only didn't rec ommend Great Divide. They told me distinctly that for year they've been advising their customers against buying it." Her blue eyes misted suddenly. "Oh, never heard of such a dirty trick. When he knew darn we'll how much want to keep this place."
 Kinks patted her shoulder gently.
 If you don't decide to marry those little pieces of Wilton," he said, you might remember that Parker is still around. And Parker is willin'."
 "Oh, go away" said Sally. That evening Sally went to her room after dinner. Kinks mooned yacantly about wrestling with the problem of how to raise $200. He ] finally wound up on the porch where he found Mir C. K. Titus sit ting alone. In sudden brust of confidence, he told him about their predicament.
 The quiet gentleman listened at- tentively.
 Well" he said, when Kinks was finished, its a grand place. Too bad you're going to have to lose 1t. I'm very sorry, young man. Very sorry. But now well. I'll just say good night"
 Kinks stared after him. "Huh?" he muttercd. That guy can sure toss other peoples troubles over his shoulder. Oh, gee, this is mess. Disposscssed at tomorrow. And Sally is going to be heart | broken"
 He spent a restless, futile night. When he came down next morning two people occupied the dining room.
