CALVIN COOLIDGE * First Speech to Congress Started Boom Which Won Him Republican Nomination for Presidency— Teapot Dome Scandal Breaks. TOE BIOGRAPHY OF A PRESIDENT*” ————

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS President Calvin Coolidife was bom July 4. 18'.';:, His early life was spent on a farr. Cooliffee attended Amherst and graduated with high honors. In 1905 he married Grace Goodhue, a school teacher. After passing the bar examination he entered politics and held many offices, including city councilman of Northampton. State Representative. State Senator. Lieutenant Governor and Governor. As Governor he helped settle the Boston police strike. He was nominated Vice President and elected in 1910. when President Harding died. Coolidge was sworn into office by his father. Colonel Coolidge. CHAPTER Till mHERE is no doubt but that the day when President Coolidge delivered his first address before the joint session of Congress, was the biggest one in his life, politically. The address was very well received. It was not a fiery address and did not bring the galleries to - tr.eir feet, nor did it cause any of the Senators and Representatives to do more than nod their heads approvingly. There is one thing about that first address which stands cut. That is the President's concisedefinite way of putting tilings. t Outlines Policies Among the measures be favored were: Tax reduction. He said the country wanted this measure to have the right-of-way over all others. Abolition of tax-exempt securities. World Court, but with restrictions. Prohibition enforcement. Strengthening of the Army and Navy. He said our national defense had been reduced to the danger point.

On these and many other point? Coolidge spoke definitely. There was no room to doubt where he stood. It was this address, more than any since, that started the Coolidge boom which resulted in his nomination in ! Cleveland on the first ballot this j year. ! Coolidge chose William M. Butler, ' national committeeman from Massa- | chusetts, to manage his pre-conven-tion fight. And when persons within the party, dissatisfied with Butler, protested, Coolidge refused to listen. Coolidge had now gathered the conservative element in. the party ! behind him. His next task was to j get the confidence of the farmers. His effort, apparently, was to put ! the burden of responsibility on the shoulders of the farmers themselves, ; and his method had evident effect. Pushes Tax Reduction Meanwhile Coolidge had an eye,on the budget. He approved the tax reduction plan of Secretary Mellon, and did all he could to help Director of the Budget Lord. It was just about this time in his work that an unexpected and unfortunate —from a Republican viewpoint—happening broke. The great oil scandal now is fairly familiar to the citizens of the country. It is unlikely any President ever had such a delicate situation to face. Coolidge faced It exactly ias he faced every other problem—- ! for a long time he kept silent. With many newspapers calling loudly for the scalps of Cabinet members for permitting the leasing of Teapot Dome to private interests, Coolidge kept mum and “Cal the Clam,” as his students at Amherst used to call him. watched and waited. Coolidge finally was forced to act. Two Cabinet members resigned—one probably voluntarily, the other at the urgent request of the chief executive in the interest of party harmony. One cannot say, but It is likely that Coolidge’s action did much 'o dull the scandal's edge. There is no question hut that ‘'oil” will be a campaign weapon up to the day of balloting, but the edge has been taken off. And the shrewdness of the man in the White House Is responsible. Sorrow Comes There is only one thing that serv"? in the case of a man of the Coolidge type, to give the public a better : picture of him. That, unfortunately. lis sorrow. And Coolidge was to ex ! perience it. During the summer of 1924, the ! CoolidgK'boys. John and Calvin Jr., i came to the White House for a short | stay. One day they were playing j tennis on the White House courts, j Calvin Jr. scraped his ankle. A ! blister formed. Septic poisoning set j in, and within a shockingly short j time, he died. It was a. severe blow to the President and his wife. Just how severe, the people never will know, for President Coolidge never has heJleved in parading personal affairs before the public. He prefers to swallow them in silence. Washington was in mourning on the day the funeral cortege set out for Vermont, to bury the hoy. The President made hut one request of the photographers; that they take no pictures showing the family about the grave. He felt that scene too sacred." and his request was heeded. Thereafter the sad face became sadder than ever. It seemed as though a few more lines had heen carved in it. But otherwise the President kept his sorrow away from the public. Only a black hand about his arm told the story of his suffering. (More Next Tssii®)

BEGIN HERE TODAY Robert Koran, newspaper rorre apondent. accompanies the Theodore Roosevelt expedition into Africa in 1909. They arrive at Mombassa. the "jrtaeway to British East Africa." and then make the long railroad journey to their camp in the Kamecrowded Kapiti Plains After a wonderfully successful shooting trip in the Sotik country, she expedition camps 'or more hunting at a farm calied Saigai Sai. After several other trips they invade the Guaso Nyero elephant country and meet with some more good sport. The Roosevelt* are given royal receptions at Njoro and Entebbe. Now the expedition arrives at Nimule on the long journey through Uganda, the Congo and the Sudan to Egypt. Koran learns that Roosevelt s arrival at Gon dokoro will be postponed because o' a newly planned elephant hunt. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOR\ CHAPTER XXIX Roosevelt at Gondokoro |r-pi IHE Roosevelt expedition, • I headed by Colonel Roosevelt i J and Kermit, arrived at Gondokoro on the early morning of Feb. 17. All the residents of this little outpost on the bords of Uganda and the Sudan had assembled on the outskirts of the station at the point where the Roosevelts would enter the village. The first to arrive was Kermit, and he was quickly followed by Hearns. They joined us to wait for the arrival of Colonel Roosevelt and the big safari. Suddenly, from the distance, came the music of a bugle and drum band, playing, alternately, British and Belgian bugle marches. And then the long string of porters came round a bend -in the road. At their head marched a porter, carrying the large American flag that had accompanied the expedition for the past eleven months. Immediately- behind them walked Colonel Roosevelt and Loring. Everybody cheered as they recognized him. They had marched in from Chief Kiriba’s village, a distance of sixteen miles, since 3 o'clock in the morning. Immediately'' behind Colonel Roosevelt came Chief Kiriba, who was dressed in a khaki suit, the sun helmet and sun glasses that I had given h'rn, and blue puttees Every now and again he would turn round and. urge his baud to play mere

vigorously and 'ouder In honor of the “Kingiya Amerik.” It appeared that Chief Kiriba had insisted on playing the colonel into '.ondokoro, for the whole distance >f sixteen miles, despite the protests of Colonel Roosevelt who wished to dioot as he traveled mt i G mdokoro. she hand, however, rendered any ;ame shooting entirely out of 'he question. Behind the colonel trailed along he mules, tent hoys, cooks, saises, -tun bearer*, Salim the headman and iis porters with their loads, and all he other impediments of an African afari. That endless stream into londokoro continued for a space of hiee h >urs. Cunninghame and 1 teller were the very last to arrive. I took Colonel Roosevelt and Kori.:it down to the ‘ Dal,’’ where Captain Middleton was introduced to them and told how he had been sent up to bring them down to Khartoum ■;y the Sudan government. Above the “Dal” :i uttered the Stars and Stripes; while in the stern floated the Sudan llag, and in the how the Egyptian Khedival flag. Truly was this an international yacht! After lunch was over, Kermit and Coring distinguished themselves by a most heroic attempt to rescue a drowning porter. It seemed that, while playing on the barge alongside, of the “Dal,” one of the porters had pushed another into the Nile. Unfortunately this man could not swim, and he had already sunk twice before Kermit and Loring saw what had happened. There was a large crowd of natives on the bank, but they made no attempt to rescue the man. Before Kermit could get to the side of the “Dal” and dive in, the man had gone down a third time. Kermit dived repeatedly into the swift-flowing river in the hope of finding the man's body and saving him; but the current travels here at the rate of four miles an hour and all his gallant attempts to save the man proved univailing. Loring gave Kermit yeoman assistance, and both of them were absolutely indifferent to the danger of the current and the numerous crocodiles.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The day after Colonel Roosevelt had taken up his quarters on the Dal, he received two official callers Captain Banquet, the Belgian com mandant of (.ado, and Major Owen, the governor of the Mongalla prov ince of the Sudan, both came in their own steamers to offer a wel come to the ex-President on behalf of their respective governments. That night Colonel Roosevelt ga,ve a dinner on hoard the "Dal” to celebrate the end of the expedition, for this was virtually the conclusion of it. Yet at the dinner table, he announced that while Cunninghame was busy with the packing of the trophies, Kermit and himself were going to go back to Rejaf in the Lndo Enclave and try to get a group if giant eland. This was to he the first and last hunt on a large scale that father and son would undertake together without the assistance of an oldtimer to handle their porters for them. Kermit had learned quite a lot of Kiswahilt and was going to act as guide, hunter, photographer, manager and generally undertake all of Cunningham’s and Heller’s duties. Next morning all the loads were taken down to the “Dal,” and after lunch the steamer headed up stream for Rejaf. The following day Cunningharne returned on the Dal, having seen that. Colonel and Kermit had got away safely from Rejaf. He was now free to devote himself to the packing of trophies and to the arrangements for the paying off of the porters and their return to Kampala. The naturalists had been taking a well-earned rest and had not as yet got seriously to work on their specimens. It took Cunninghame six whole days, working many hours a day and with my help, to arrange satisfactorily for the breaking up of that small army *of porters. There were 400 porters, the mules, the personal servants, cooks, skinners and so on to pay off and feed for their long journey back to Kampala .and even Nairobi. In the intervals of this work Cunninghame and I were selling off all the stores and tents that were no longer required. Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit, together with their small safari, returned to Gondokoro on the afternoon of Feb. 26. CHAPTER XXX Into the Sudan From Gondokoro Shortly after Colonel Roosevelt’s arrival in Gondokoro from Rejaf, he was called upon to say good-by to his large following of native servants and porters. They left the same day for Kampala and Nairobi to leturn to their homes. As they started forth from

(rondokoro, they cheered themselves hoarse and sang songs in prai-.e >f the Bwana Mkubwa, Kingi ya Amerik (The big chief, the king oi America). That night Colonel Roosevelt asked Haddnn and myself to dine on hoard the "Dal,” Kermit had go? the ship's cook to remove his heard and cut his hair, and he appeared at dinner looking unusually spiel; and span. Colonel Roosevelt was r. fine form, and told us about his hunt after the giant eland. He spoke most warmly of Kermit, and of his excellent management of the “safari” and his wonderful powers of endurance in tracking. "Kermit runs in the mid-ils., heat,” he asserted, proudly, “aftei his quarry when trailing them down, and never seems to tire. Once he is on the track of a beast ho wants, he will not let it alone until he lias killed it.” Consider what the two Roosevelts had achieved. Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit had shot close on 500 large mammals between them, including three giant elands, two bongo, eleven white rhino, one sit.* tunga, seventeen lions, eleven elephants, ten buffalo, ton ordinary rhino, eight hippos, nine giraffe, three sable antelopes, three leopard, seven cheetah and a great number of antelope and gazelle, and other animals too numerous to count. Kermit, as I think I have already stated, was a boy in a thousand. He took to the life of a hunter as if he had been horn one. He was a most likeable companion, and ever ready for a playful joke or some daring feat. Few boys, receiving such attention and such feteing. could have come through the ordeal upspoiled; but Kermit did so. He was just the same happy-go-lucky Kermit at the end of the long expedition as the one who had gone to Africa a year previously, but he had filled out and had more purpose in life. I cannot bestow higher praise on him than to say he was ai ways just as modest and silent about his own great achievements in the field as he was expert in hunting; and that is saying a very great deal On Feb. 28, the “Dal” started off down stream for the Sudan, it having been arranged that the Roosevelts should do a. little shooting in the Sudan and then reach Khartoum on March 15.

Rosevelt and Miss Ethel Roosevelt (Mrs. Derby) were to meet them. The ehtire population of GondoiOro, or rather those who were not oo ill, crowded on the banks of the Nile to wish him bon voyage. As the “Dal" drew away into midstream and slowly turned its bow oward the country of the Sudan, a guard-of-honor of the Uganda police presented arms and the bugler sounded the royal salute. THE END. Wayne Carson of Logansport did in acrobatic act on the back end of in interurhan. He lost his grip and fell out of the car. breaking his leg. He was a star athlete.

NERVOUS &HALF-SICK WOMEN Relieved by Taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound These Three Letters Prove It
