In its application it gives ■I us more completely a goverliment of | laws and not of men.” I Coolidge rates the social functions I of the White House as being almost I as important as sessions of Congress I or Supreme Court terms. The year's I schedule is as fixed as are the rules I governing the precedence of personI ages. The season opens with an offiI cial dinner for the Cabinet, following I which are the Diplomatic reception. I the Diplomatic dinner, the Judicial reI ception, the Supreme Court dinner, the I Congress reception, the Speaker's dinII ner, and at the end of the year, the I Army and Navy reception. From 50 to I 90 guests attend the dinners and the I Invitation list for receptions often r,i ach 3,500, says Coolidge- In addition to the White House events, the President and his wife go out to 12 official dinners, beginning with the VicePresident; then the 10 members of the Cabinet and the Speaker of the House °f Representatives. Coolidge declares that his only personal social functions were his wheat-cake and maple syrup ! “rcakfasts, from which all discussion °f Political affairs was barred No other outside invitations can be accepted. While the President has supervision over all these functions,” the further chief executive concludes, "the ■ ®ost effective way to deal with them ' s to provide a capable mistress of the i white House. I have often been coin- ■ Pbniented on the choice which 1 i fade 25 years ago. These functions s *ore so much in the hands of Mrs Coolidge that oftentimes I did not 1 httow what guests were to be present until I met them in the Blue Room Just before going in to dinner."

WOMAN TEACHES FOR 50 YEARS Waymore, INeb. June 20— (UP)~ Fifty years as a teacher in Nebraska schools is the record Miss Anna Smith Batten rang up at the close of the present school year. For 39 years Miss Batten has taught in the Wymote schools during which period she has had no substitute teacher. Only twice in 39 years has she been absent from her school. Miss Batten began teaching school in Pawnee county, when thatxectlon of the country was sparsely settled and was a real pioneer country. Tracks were being laid for the Burlington railioad that year to connect the east with the west. As a teacher in the youngish settled country she had her troubles. Bothered by the cursing of laborers in the railway construction camps as they passed the school house, Miss Batten held a camp meeting. Soon afterward, the men passed the school house singing gospel songs, she recalled. Miss Batten will begin her 51st year next fall “I expect to teach a long time yet" she predicted. — o — TEN BEST SELLERS Fiction 1. Young Mrs. Greeley. By Booth Tarkington. 2.
