CAL’S NEXT JOB WHITTLIN’, SAYS NEW BIOGRAPHY Book Gives Picture of Chief Executive in His Younger Days. B’i United Press NEW YORK, May 18.—Cameron Rogers’ book, “The Legend of Calvin Coolidge,” published today by Doubleday, Doran & Cos., predicts that President Coolidge “undoubtedly will not run again,” and that instead of becoming a university president or an executive in a corporation, he "will “return to Plymouth Notch, as he has promised to whittle.” The book also contains an earlier and different picture of the President. When he was a young lawyer, the book says, practicing at Northampton, Mass., an occasional desire for diversion would pop into his head. Rogers then says, “Calvin would rise and quit his office and, with an alien warmth of anticipation in his heart, proceed to a beer garden. He would seat himself and order a seidel of Pilsener. Then he would eat two pretzels*, drink the seidel, and meditate. When the seidel was gone he would pay the shot and return to his work. The hour of dissipation was at an end.” The story also says that the primary stages of the Coolidge courtship of Grace Goodhue was dull because of Cal’s talk of his books and law. He finally approached her father. “What are you doing here,” he Was asked. "I’m here to marry Grace," was the answer. “Does she know about it?” came the query. “No, but she will,” Coolidge responded.

'GENTS’ DON’T SWEAR SAYS BUTLER HEAD Gives Talk to Courtesy Class at y. M. C. A, Profanity or vulgarity have no place in the vocabulary of a gentleman, former President Thomas C. Howe of Butler University told the courtesy class at‘the Y. M. C. A. Thursday night. The lecture was one of a series being given by various .speakers under “Y” auspices. The speaker recommended study of the classics as one of the best ways to learn how to speak and write excellent English. He also recommended many modern authors and pointed out that splendid work is being done in many fields of creative writing today. He condemned modern novels, however, for too much emphasis on sex appeal. START NEW APARTMENT Construction Begun on Delaware Street Building. Construction of Marleigh Apartments, 1434 N.

Denny, has been ordered by the Supreme Court until all briefs are filed. Denny and others fire opposing Arthur W. Brady, receiver for the Union Traction Company, who argue that by virtue of the company’s franchise independent busses have no right of competition over Muncie streets.
