GOOLIDGE ENDS FIFTH YEAR AS GHIEF President Looks Forward With Joy to Prospect of Long Rest. BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD United Press Staff Correspondent CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Wis., Aug. I.—President Coolidge sat fishing from his canoe on the quiet Brule River today and contemplated with pleasure the twilight of his long political career. The day marked the end of his fifth and last year as chief executive. Calvin Coolidge’s political rise had been steady, but devoid of furore and stir, when he was inaugurated President of the United States on Aug. 2, 1923, His oath of office was administered in one of those simple and dramatic scenes which are the boast of American democracy. His father, the late Col. John Coolidge, a justice of the peace, awakened the Vice President, who was visiting his boyhood home, to tell him that President Warren G. Harding was dead. Oath From Father By the light of a,kerosent lamp on the Coolidge New England farm home, Calvin kissed a Bible that had been in the family for lyears, spoke his oath, and was President. The father, who administered the oath, did not live to witness his son’s retirement from the presidency. Today, those close to Mr. Coolidge insist he is pleased with the thought of his exit from political prominence. Secluded in his Wisconsin retreat, he is said to have found a suggestion of what play and relief from official life will bring. When the President arrived here June 15 he virtually was exhausted from his five years of official cares. He told Dr. Hubert Work, who visited him a month ago, that he never had been wearier than when he reached the Brule. Rests on Record Mr. Coolidge feels he can rest on the record of his Administration. He made it known to press representatives yesterday that his term in office was his contribution to Hoover’s campaign. * No indication of the President s plans for the future had been given. Rumors that he might became chairman of the board of the United States Steel Corporation, or that he might become president of Amherst College, his alma mater, all have found little substantiation here. Prisoner Kills Self Bn Time s Special WABASH, Ind., Aug. i.—Roy Krom, 41, farmer near Spikerville, committed suicide by swallowing poison here in the county jail, where he was held pending an inquiry as to his sanity.

Says Stomach Fine Eats Anything Now Found How to End His Gas and Indigestion. Backache Gone, Too. Friends of Victor Blanchette, 2036 Erie St., Bradley, 111., were recentlysurprised by his rapid recovery oi health. In explaining the matter. Mr. Blanchette says: “For a long time I suffered intensely from stomach trouble, backache and constipation. Food would not digest, and the gas and bloating and pains were almost unbearable. I was nervous, tired and worn out all the time. Night brought very little sleep. My back ached severely, and often my joints were stiff. I was losing weight and badly discouraged. when I read about Viuna and started taking it. I was never more surprised in my life than 1 was by the quick improvement in my condition. Today my digestion is perfect, without gas or pains. My backache is gone, joints are all right again, and I am sleeping soundly and gaining weight. Viuna gave me back my health after many other medicines had failed.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite aud digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you're not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

URGE HASTE IN CONSTRUCTION AT SHORTRIDGE Delays by Contractors Arouse Anger of School Board. Haste in completing new Shortridge high school will be urged of the contractor, H. R. Blagg & Cos., it was indicated Tuesday night, when school board members roundly criticised delay. “I am astounded at the apparent lack of effort to complete the building,” President Theodore F. Vonnegut said. “With ordinary pushing, the building would be ready for use this fall instead of next January.” Vonnegut said he had seen slates, blackboards and other inside equipment standing out in the rain for weeks at a time. “Progress up to a certain time seemed fairly rapid, but since has dropped,” Commissioner Charles W. Kern said. “I don’t see why the contractor would want to drag out construction. It seems to me he should use more men.” Consider School Sites The board received a resolution adopted by the Butler Fairview Civic Association, recommending purchase of a site at Fifty-Second St. and Capitol Ave., for anew grade school building. Several sites now are being considered. Business Director Albert F. Walsman was authorized to obtain options on sites for anew school, 80, in Broad Ripple, included in the proposed $600,000 bond issue. The board has under consideration a site comprising almost the entire block bounded by Sixty-Second and Sixty-Third Sts. and Bellefontaine and Cornell Aves., 200 by 350 feet, and offered at $25,240. Commissioner Kern urged immediate decision on the Butler-Fair-view site in order to start work on the new building this fall. Superintendent Charles F. Miller suggested two portable buildings be moved to the site, finally selected, before the opening of school Sept. 10. No Mention of Librarian Attorney Paul G. Davis appeared, representing patrons of old School 65, urging that the school be reopened. He said children of the district, now attending School 62, are forced to walk excessive distances. The board did not discuss appointment of a librarian to succeed Charles E. Rush, who attended his last board meeting Tuesday night. Rush was given a rising vote of appreciation for his work in the last eleven years when he presented his report. His report showed 113,027 home seaders, or 30 per cent of the city’s population, and placing Indianapolis fourth among the Nation’s cities in per capita readers. Total home circulation for the year was 2,230,128. Ten months’ leave of %bsence effective Sept. 15, was granted Miss Amy \yinslow, assistant librarian, for a special advanced course at Chicago University. Miss Genevieve W. Abrams was granted a three months’ leave for travel, effective Oct. 1. Refer Bids to Committees New Shortridge High School cafeteria epuipment and elevator bids

FEWER BANKS FAIUN I92B Farm Depression Not So Severe as Year Ago, By Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—National bank failures for the first six months of 1928 were but half as many as during the first six months of 1927. The assets of the banks which suspended last year were $35,234,806, whereas this year they were only $3,734,629. A study of the figures indicates agricultural depression, which was blamed for most failures last year is not as severe this year. lowa which heads the list of bank failures states this as well as last yeaj, but had six ne '—al bank suspensions in 1928 against seventeen last year. Minnesota, which had eleven last year, has had only three this year. National banks have failed in other States during 1928 as follows: Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah and West Virginia, Nebraska, each one; Illinois, 3: Kansas, 4; North Dakota, 3; Oklahoma, 2; South Carolina, 2, and Texas, 2. Reports to the Federal reserve board from State controllers show 235 suspensions to July 1, of State banks, mostly in agricultural States. No figures were given as to total liabilities at suspension. In this group of banks, 31 suspended in Nebraska, 27 in lowa, 17 in Minnesota, 19 in Missouri, 18 in Kansas, 16 in North Dakota, 19 in Florida, 13 in Arkansas and 14 in Indiana.

I.—Briefs which will have a vital bearing on the future course of the Government’s investigation of alleged unfair trade practices of the Aluminum Company of America are scheduled to oe filed with the Federal trade commission this week. They will contain protests of the corporation to attempts of commission officials to widen the scope of the inquiry by filing of amended complaints. A month ago, following refusal of various officers of the company to answer questions during a hearing at Pittsburgh, Judge Robert A. Healy, chief counsel of the commission, moved to amend the original complaint by including charges of other alleged unfair practices tending toward monopoly. The date of Sept. 24 has been fixed by the commission for oral arguments on Judge Healy’s motion, but the company has to file an early reply brief stating its exceptions.
