WAY FOUND TO HALT AMERICAN COURT ENTRY to Oppose Expense Money of Commissioner. Bv United Prets ' WASHINGTON. March 19.—A plan has been conceived by many irreconcillables which may prevent American participation In the World Court of Justice. The move is prompted by the action of the council of the League of Nations In authorizing an Invitation to the United States to meet with the council next September and explain reservations which the United States Senate attached to the resolution for American adherence to the world court. Although the Invitation will be extended to President Coolidge direct, Senate parliamentarians agreed that he will have to seek authorization of Congress for an appropriation to let commissioners go to Geneva. This Would reopen the entire world court and League of Nations Issue and irreconciliables have agreed they will stage a bigger battle than they did before. Parliamentarians believe there is no way for the President to act except through authorization. t Unless the message for the approlatlon Is sent before June. Coness wop Id be in recess until December and no authorization for the funds could be sought. The irrenconciliables are planning to beat upon the court and league issues in the Italian debt settlement Which Chairman Smoot of the SenKite Finance Committee now says he Will call up Monday.

TRIES TO FIND WAY TO PAY )j. S. Demands Money of Adjutant General. With no extra appropriation for fils department, Adjt. Gen. William ft. Kershner was endeavoring today to find a way of paying the governfaent a $15,735.97 charge, pending Since War Department auditors tohecked the books of former Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith. In addition to Smith’s discrepancy In Federal funds, State examiners last year found him short $14,954.16 in his State funds.

Kershner said no disposition could be made of the Federal charge until after Smith’s trial, was bonded for $20,000, and ™ Is thought that some of the money can be recovered through this source. Immediate payment of the Federal sum was demanded of Kershner in a letter received a few days ago from the War Department.

LEARNING TRAFFIC RULES IS ADVISED

Spring Brings Added Worry for Police, Says New Inspector. Though most of Indianapolis residents are looking forward eagerly to Sunday when the sun crosses the equator at 3:02 a. m., and spring is officially ushered in, to traffic officers thoughts of the day are accompanied chiefly with feelings of apprehension and misgiving. Not tha.t the traffic cops dislike the balmy breezes of spring when they are swinging their “Stop and Go” right merrily at the street corners. And not that their fancies, like those of other mortals, might not turn when the trees are budding and the birds singing. But thd advent of spring starts the season of worries for those who keep the city traffic going smoothly. Many autos are due to be taken down from the jacks on which they have rested during the snowy, blustery months, to be filled with gas, water and oil, dusted off, polished, perhaps painted, and placed In service again during the next few weeks. Worries Multiply Traffic Inspector Harvey Bedford, recently appointed, understands as well t as do those under him that the worries of the traffic police multiply with the arrival of spring. After a close study of the situation, Bedford had made Iffs first official suggestions to the motoring public, as follows: Obtain a copy of the traffic rules. Don’t use them as a pocket reference but as a book of knowledge to be absorbed before the police get Into the case. Memorize Corners Memorize the corners where left turns are not permitted, and note the length of time for parking in congested areas. Map out shopping tours to avoid cruising about the downtown streets seeking a parking space, and practice backing, into parking spaces with your next door neighbor in the residence district so a useless blocking of the street in the shopping district will be avoided. Recently Bedford started a drive on motorists who use the street/ as a garage, in violation of the tenhour parking law. The fire department and police emergency squads have frequently complained about turning corners speedily and encountering a parked auto without a tall light. A drive on that violation is on. Keep Plates Clean Bedford advises license plates be kept clean, stop lights be put in w'orking order and drivers brush up on hand signals. Inspector Bedford believes he will be able to aid the motoring public by urging familiarity with traffic laws. No diiver likes to pay a fine but many are forced to because they are ignorant of the law. Traffic rules be obtained on application. Sergt. Earl Halstead and squad have been urged to watch speeders closely, now that the weather Is warmer.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MILLION’S NOT SO FAR AWAY, FIGURES SHOW Research Director Says City’s Growth Last Ten Years Has Been Great. If Indianapolis grows only as fast as its population has increased during the past ten years, it will require just thirty-four years to reach a million population, Prof. L. D. Edie, director of the Indiana University bureau of business research, said at a meeting of the Friday Club today at the Columbia Club. However, Edie said, the information affords no basis for smug complacency and self-satisfaction. Edie said Indianapolis grew at the rate of 3 per cent annually during the last ten years, and that out of the twenty-five largest cities in the United States, only four have gained as fast as this city. These are Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles and Rochester, N. Y. Present population of Indianapolis is estimated by the Indiana University Bureau at 375,000. "The four leading lines of manufacture in Indianapolis, ranked according to value of product, are, motor vehicles, including bodies and parts; slaughter and meat packing; foundry and machine shop products; and printing and publishing,," Edie said. “These four branches account for more than one-half of the total value of manufactured products of the city. The balance of the manufactures of the city are very widely diversified.” TO ABOLISH ARABIC Bv NBA Service ANGORA, Turkey.—The Nationalist government has decided to introduce the English or iAtin alphabet in place of the present cumbrous Arabic characters.

INAUGURATED SON PRESIDENT (Continued From Page One) will never be known, for father and son alike placed a great value on silence. Hung Out Family Wash It was characteristic of John Coolidge, and revealing of his plain and unassuming ways, that if the ceremony gripped the imagination of the public it did not grip his own. For the world often looked in upon him in his simple Vermont farm house and found him, the father of the President of the United States, engaged in such homely tasks as sawing wood and hanging out the family wash. The story of John Coolidge is the plain story of a plain, Inconspicuous man. Most of his life he was an obscure figure, and fame did not claim him until he was 78, by which time. It is conceivable, he was too “sot” in his ways to alter hta mode of living. His story is best told in relation to the career of his famous son. Colonel Coolidge was 80. He was bom at Plymouth, Vt., March 31, 1845. Tills picturesque father of a President his early education In

the public schools of Plymouth and later attended the Black River Academy at Ludlow, Vt., twelve miles from the Coolidge home at Plymouth. He was later to become a trustee of this academy, to which he sent his son. and from which also graduated John Garibaldi Sargent, destined to be appointed attorneygeneral of the United States by that son. On attaining his majority. Colonel Coolidge went into mercantile business, conected with which was the Plymouth postoffice. For fortynine years he served as assistant postmaster. Had Two Children On May 6,. 1868, he married Victoria Moore of Plymouth, and on July 4, 1872, a son, John Calvin Coolidge, was born. Three years later, on April 15, 1875, a daughter, Abigail Grace Coolidge, was born. The son later became President of the United States. The daughter died at the age of 15. Colonel Coolldge’s first wife died at the age of 39, on March 14, 1886. Six years later, on Sept. 9, 1891, he married. Carrie A. Brown of Plymouth. In 1920. Colonel Coolidge’s second wife died. Thereafter, he maintained the Coolidge homestead by the aid of a housekeeper. Was a Baptist During his life as a farmer, following the death of his father In 1878, Colonel Coolidge was active In local and State affairs, and at various times represented his community as school director, sheriff, tax collector, road commissioner, representative to the general court and as the State Senator. In private life h . served as vice president of the Ludlow Savings and Trust Company and trustee of the Black River Academy. Politically he was a Republican. His religious preference was Baptist. The title ‘Colonel” dated from 1900, when for two years he served on the staff of Governor William W. Sdckney of Vermont. The Boy Calx In The boy Calvin early learned the rigors of New England farming. He followed his father through the

fields and got the feel of th* plow. Asa tiny shaver, It was one of his chores to bring In the wood, and It is related that be climbed out ot bed at midnight on one occasion and scrambled out to get the wood he had forgotten. John Coolidge always said that “you only had to tell Calvin a thing once." The boy was frail and did not go In for games, yet he split wood without a protest and studied diligently. He entered Amherst College In 1890, six months after his sister’s death. Illness cause his withdrawal, but he re-entered the following fall, and was graduted In 1895. Calvin asked his father’s advice concerning taking up the law, and the elder Coolidge told him to go ahead, and so the father saw him admitted to the bar in 1897 and elected to the Northampton (Mass.) council In 1899, his first political office. Son Married in 1905 Various minor political posts came Calvin’s way, and In 1906 he married Grace Goodhue. There followed a term in the Massachusetts assembly, and in 1910 he was elected mayor of Northampton. The father must have had an Inkling by this time that his son was destined for greatness. Nothing, apparently, could stand in his way, and, following a term in the State Senate, he climbed to the lieutenantgovernorship. , John Coolidge was present When Calvin was inaugurated Governor of in 1916. This office was the turning point in the son’s career, for the Boston police strike made him a national figure, and two years ahead of the Republican convention of 1920, men were talking of him as “presidential timber.’’ But Warren Harding was not to be denied. A landslide ensued, and the next night "Wallace MaoCamant of Oregon placed Calvin Coolidge in nomination for the vice presidency. The elder Coolidge probably never dreamed that his son would go any higher. He told a reporter once that he hadn’t raised his boy to be President. It was very likely beyond his wildest dreams: nevertheless, when an automobile dashed up to his door
