Face to Face T. ’ With :r. Roy T. Carruthers ir Managing Director of the Waldorf-Astoria (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 10 At the Democratic National Con:s vention in New York. It was voted that Chairman Roy Carruthers was as 5 busy with his own Waldorf Conven- ® lion as Chairman Walsh at Madison 0 Square. All ot the enndidatea were d- domiciled In headquarters within lh<r walls of the Waldorf. The -rov.ds surged through the lobbies nlffbt and day and filled the marble staircase. Here the Committee on Res nut lor v met and the real preliminary battlci of the convention were fought. The managing director of the Waldorf. Roy Carruthers, was born in Ohio. He understands politics as a ' duck does water. .Moving quietly about in the corridors.

/ ROY T. CARRUTHERS says: "New York City is an American axis—as much a center of the country's activities as Paris is to France or London to England." delphi from Monticello to write the Declaration of Independence. The ball room built for the famous Brad-ley-Martin ball, the original Peacock Alley, the quiet secluded nooks for a chat and visit, covered every demand for a convention hotel. Across this |threshold guests have been welcomed. and conclusions on important i matters right here have determined government policies. The passing panorama of celebriIties made a good chair for observation In the lobby In the Waldorf durling theh evening equal to a ses. at the theatre. Dropping in at the Walldorf has been a habit establish-d and j continued in .New York for forty > ears. The information desk is a clearing house of "who's In town." "A national political convention In -New York mean* much to the ■metropolis. The hospitality of New I Yorkers is now understood to be just Illi* same as that of other folks. If .the people could only understand th--[real N'e w York, and New York could -understand the real folks who came to town, it would make a trip to New I York something more than a business iJaunt.

The

——i corridors were empty and quiet, while outside a crowd of anxious watchers, stood in the darkness with pale faces upturned toward the third floor, windows of the room where the pres> dent and the boy's mother stood at his bedside. E. T. Clark, the presi-| dent's personal secretary, was the fntermwliary between the sickroom and the newspapermen who were sending the news to the anxious world. At 7:55 he brought the word—the! boy "is dying." But for »*®rly three hours more young Calvin clung to ( life. Then at 10:33 Clark, his face ray with the fat-gue and sorrow of the long vigil he had kept at the el- ( how of his ch es appeared to nod his head and say "it's all over." A few minutes later the parents came down the hospital corridor.Nurses, doctors and orderlies stood by at military attention, their faces mute with sympathy. The president looked straight before him. his face drawn and pale, his lips compressed, but betraying no other sign of his grief. Mrs. (|oolklge leaned heavily on his arm, her head bowed. They entered the president's car and were followed by the white house automobile containing secret service men and members of the staff. The motor cars proceeded through the dark streets at a slow pace—like a funeral procession By the time they reached the downtown section newsboys were shouting extras announc Ing the death. Leaving their automobile, the presi- | dent and his wife walked slowly to the white house, Mrs. Coolidge supported by the president and 1. N. Hoover, chief white bouse usher. As they entered the mansion. Muir son John, met them. I Secret service men. secretaries, all the white bouse attaches today were bowed in personal grief as much a K in sympathy for the bereaved parents and brother. Calvin had been a particular favorite with all who had known him. The tall, somewhat frail boy had an engaging personality whi<b won friends. Throughout the last five days all had prayed he would win out. j The president moved about today as if in a daze. He was. unable, apparently to give vent to his sorrow which might obtain h m some measure of relief, he was at gr ps with hs agony. He was known to havecounted much upon his sons. Their training and character building was hl* first thought. Throughout the illness of Calvin.' the president conducted himself w'th the fortitude of his New Eng.and temperament. On the Fourth of July. < his own 52nd birthday, be del vered an address to the National Education I convention, with a rare courage that concealed the fact that his son was already dangc roualy ill. But after that he made hardly a pretense of working other than to attempt now and then to do something to occupy bis mind. i When the time came to begin the v gil at the hospital he was constantly near his son. sustain ng Mrs. Cool-1 idge and In-cp ring the boy to new effort*. Once on Saturday night watchers below saw his form silhouetted ngain«t the light window of the sickroom. He had just entered to see Calvin after an operation. He stood gazing down in a'Jence at the form of h it son. The blood poisoning from which; Calv n <1 <-d originated from r< blister which he wore on th* great t«»e es his right foot while playing tennis on the while house courts last Monday. H s t« nnls shoes were slightly large and he wore no socks. The bl ster broke and the way was opened to infection. In boyish fashion the lad paid no great attention to It. and even after I 'he spot became reddened and angry, attached no Importance to It. Thus neglected, the poison worked Its deadly way gradually Into the boy's system.

( While Jesus Christ was God, yet I,ls ' deity did not Interfere with Hfs de- ; velopment as a human being. Flic j processes of His physical, mental ami | spiritual growth were the same as ln > any normal human being. | 1. “Grew and Waxed Strong." It i was necessary for His body to develop. Ills brain, nerves aud muscles must not only attain unto their proper size . but must come to act together, become correlated. 2. "Filled With Wisdom." His train- i lug was largely In the hand* of Hl* mother. She was a Bible woman, a* | evinced by her song of praise when It ' was nnnoiuicfsl to her that God's favor i I was to come upon her. She was. there | fore, u suitable teacher. She, no doubt, - taught Him to commit Bible verses to - memory ami taught Him tin- great , stories of tl>e Ohl Testament from the , creation through the patriarchs and ' prophet*. S. "And the Grace of God Was I'poti 1 ; Him." Ry the grace of God doubtless , Is meant God's loving favor and tender i care. 11. Jesus Tarrying Behind st Jeru- | ealem (vv. 41-43). At the age of twelve years tl.e Jew I Isb child took HIS place as a worshlper in the temple. 11* was then considered “a child of th* law."
