Arkansas economically is sound, despite a combination of disasters in j the last three years, a United Press: survey indicated today. Figures reveal extensive Increases In the volume of business for January and the first half of February, as compared with the same period in 1930. March will inaugurate the begin- j ntng of the planting season, ma-i terially decreasing the number of! unemployed. rhe hundreds of persons in Arkansas dependent on the Red Cross and other organziations for assistance belong to the bottom strata, including the tenant farmer, | share cropper and Negro, who, for the most part, exist on the bare necessities of life, and, even in times ol prosperity, receive slight consideration as potential buyers. About $15,000,000 will be expended by the state highway department during 1931 in pushing toward completion one of the most extensive road building programs ever undertaken by a. southern state. The state banking department reported fifty-nine of the institutions closed during the last two months of 1930 have resumed business and ! are operating on a much improved financial basis.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COOLIDCE DSES PRIVATE EXIT TO DODGEJISITORS Emergency Door Is Located Just Behind His Desk in Law Office. By Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Calvin Coolidge, who now keeps regular office hours in the law office of Coolidge & Hemenway in the Masonic black of Northampton, Mass., has installed an emergency exit behind his oak desk, so that he can evade any too eager visitors or get out into the hall in an emergency, while his secretary in the front office is explaining and apologizing. The ex-President’s device foxavoiding inquisitive sightseers is revealed by Bruce Barton in a description of the Coolidges’ home life at Northampton, published by the American magazine. "The Masonic block of Northampton is on Main street, near the railroad station, says Barton. “It is a substantial brick building four stories high. The square, old-fash-ioned elevator runs during the week, but not on Saturday afternoons nor Sundays; and its week-day performance is deliberate enough so that the average individual with business to transact on the second floor uses the stairs. They have been well worn by many feet. “At the top of the stall's and around to the left is the gia-ss door marked ‘Coolidge and Hemenway, Law Office, Walk In.’ "The office originally was two rooms, but since the return from Washington of a former partner, three other rooms have been added. "Entering the principal door, you find yourself in a little outer office where Mr. Beatty, private secretary, meets and deals with the constant' stream of folks who want to invite Mr. Coolidge to speak, or ask him to endorse something, or who will be satisfied if they and their aunt from Muskegon, who is 89, can just be allowed to peek in and see him at his desk—‘She will remember it all the rest of her life.’ Beyond this are two rooms In which stenographers are typing ‘No’ in courteous language. Next is Mr. Hemenway’s office, where he sat when they started, and continued to sit while his partner went down to Washington for a while, and continues to sit now. "Separated by a thin partition

from Mr. Hemenway’s office is Mr. Coolidge’s own room. A plain flattop desk of shiny oak is set across one corner. On it are newspapers, reports of business statistical organizations, letters and a few books. "On the walls are decorations such as might be found in any
