A drive of thirty miles through the mountains brought them to the Coolidge summer home. Mr. Coolidge and Mrs. Coolidge had retired about an hour before the death messages were received. Ten minutes after the arrival of the newspaper men Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge came downstairs into the sitting room of the Coolidge home. Mr. Coolidge was dressed in a black sack suit and wore a black necktie. Mrs. Coolidge wore a black and white gown, white shoes and stockings. Mr. Coolitige was vbry pale and showed deep regret for President death. He seated hlmselfa>o**table.

In the meantime people were arriving from all directions. Mr. Coolidge, seeing the house becoming crowded, gave orders that an adjoining house be opened for u<e as press headquarters. Meanwhile, the new first lady of the land sat weeping softly and exclaiming In sympathy for the bereaved first lady in San Francisco. “WhM a blow—what a terrible blow to jwor Mrs. Harding.” she said. “She hud had such a heavy burden. in her own illness, to bear up under—and now this!” Finally Secretary te-isser returned with the press copies of the statements. and pushing back the old pliob-uniph album and the family Jtible on the center table.

Late* he won a seat in the state senate and was its president. Coolidge was lieutenant governor of Ma'-aeimsetts and in 1919 was elected to the governorship in the flrat campaign won by the Republican party in several years. He was governor for two years, it was during this term b< during bis term as governor that he first attained nation-wide prouiineoce. This was in connection with the policemen’s strike in Boston. He took firm control of the situation, ordered the state guard to patrol the street*, and kept down rioting, taking ths stand that law and order must be preserved. The strike was a complete failure. Following his action In this situation he was nicknamed “Law and order” Coolidge. He was mentioned as a possibility for the presidential nomination prior to the 1920 campaign, but he made a public announcement that he would not consider the nomination. His nomination and election to the vice presidency followed.

Old Three Toes Is Killed Off at Last

DENVER.— Old Three Toes is j dead. Os a wicked, ruthless, fearless disposition, last of her race in the country north of Thatcher, destroyer of calves and lambs; wary, elusive, shy of traps, she ; was finally caught iu a sjk-ciiii trap by Roy Spangler, federal hunter. With her death culminates one of : the most peculiar of romances of wild life— a romance in which she was the ! euticer of a collie dog. and he ulti-1 mately the fat her of a brood of curious half wolves, half dogs. For a number of years the fight in the country north of Thatcher has been going on. The Butler pasture, as the country is known, is a large stockgracing area extending from thirty miles east of Trinidad almost to Pueblo. Here the federal hunters cooperating with the Colorado state board of stock Inspection worked on the Job of eradicating the wolves. Finally, one wolf was left—Old Three Toes. In the days before she became so notorious she had had one tussle with a trap, and won It at the

Nm ■EW YORK. —A five-year-old younu'ster was literally “bawling ids head off” in the squad room of an East side police station. He was seated in a big armchair at the hmg. square table which is used by policemen in making out reports. Before him in tempting array were a Iwutle of milk, a box of crackers and a bright- oiored lollypop. Gathered about him was a sympathetic group of policemen, whom were fathers with “kids” of their own. and each of whom was vainly trying to quiet him. The desk lleutehant, a grizzled, gray-h aired grandfather, tried his hand at making friends. The five-year-old ceased his wailing and gazed wild-eyed and open-mouthed at his entertainer.

They were Paparone and j bis partner, Cozzi. Maybe it was the heat; maybe just an explosion of pent-up grief. Gallella rushed into the house and came out with a gun. The two men with the tub were just turning into 1014 Sholto street, two doors away. “You kill my Mik You say yon kill me!” Gallella shrieked. He fired. Paparone sank to the pavement and Cozzi fell forward over the sagging tub of cream. “And you. too!” Gallella shouted, raising his gun toward Cozzi. "You pay the money and Paparone goes free!” But the flivver squad’ from the detective bureau was Just passing. Detective Sergeant W. J.

WOBBLYWHEELS NEEDREPAIRING Practical Plan Outlined by Chicaj go Expert on Taking Proper Care of Auto. (By ERWIN GREER. President Greer College of Automotive Engineering. Chicago.) First, see that your wheels are rolling true, and keep them so. The tire an awheel that is Intermittently or con--1 tlnuously trying to run in a different ; direction from that of the car is sideI slipping more or less, thereby causing j unnecessary wear. Rear wheels are out of line intermittently if they wobble. To test for this, j Jack up one separately, carefully blocking the other three, run engine as slowly as possible with low gbar In. ' and watch the wheel, if It wobbles as a whole (hub included) the axle is i bent and should be taken out and | straightened at once; hut if hub rej voices evenly anti only the rim wobbles. then the wheel itself is distorted and must be re-trued. The cost of such re-trueing or new wheel will 'soon he repaid by the resulting increased tire and gasoline mileage. Test for Rear Wheel*. Rear wheels which do not wobble are seldom out of line with each other, but If the car Ims been in collision, or traversed extremely rough roads, it , wyuld be well to test for this as follows: Take a fairly stiff and straight board long enough to extend from the rear part of rear wheel to beyond the front of car. Hold one edge, at one end, against a rear wheel fire, touching both front and rear part of it ami as near the center of wheel as possible, the board pointing forward (having. If necessary, been cut away to clear front wheel) and touching the ground at that end. Get a friend to mark the ground where the edge touches it. Do the same at the other side of the car (being careful to use same, edge and end of board). Now measure between the marks thus made, and note. Push car back (or forward) one half turn of rear wheels and repeat on each as before (again using the same edge and lend); compare the two measurements and note the mean—they will vary if wheels have even the slightest wobble. Test for Front Wheels. On the majority of cars the front wheels have "undergather.” That is. they are closer together .where they touch the ground than at their upper edges, and where that is the case they should also have “foregather”: that Is. they should be nearer together (about inch) at their front than at their rear edges. Just why this is done is outside the scope of these notes, but the . foregather must be as nearly correct as possible if tire life Is to be considered. Jack up each in turn and spin to test for wobble. With board held at front wheels as given above for the rear ones, and pointing toward the . rear, turn steering wheel slightly to right or left until the distance from board to rear wheels Is the same on both sides of the ear. The wheels are j now set true for going straight ahead. Now us? board on front wheels exactly as already described for rear ones, marking on the ground ami measuring at both front and rear of car. If ‘ ten feet is the length of the board : from center of wheel to where it touches the ground, about twenty feet < will of coarse separate the front and rear marks, and the distance, in such case, between the roar marks should be about 1 % to 2 -Incites greater than at the front end. If correct, adjust by | lengthening or shortening the tie rod (that rod connecting the swivel arms of the wheels across the car.) TRUNK EQUIPMENT ON AUTOS i Being Featured More Than Ever Before. Either on Side or on Rear of Machine. , Accessories are being featured more this season than ever before. Many of the ears are selling equipped with trunks, either on the rear or side, n.ade of various materials to match the toning and style of the car. In many custom jobs, dress suit cases I and dress Loxes an- built into the side of the cars, thus doing away with the , having to wait for baggage at any time.

Toot, Listen, Toot Again. It is advisable before passing an Intersection of streets, says Motor Life, to signal, listen for a reply and then signal again. Some such plan — whichever seems feasible to the particular driver—should be instrumental in lessening the number of accidents that are the direct result of wrong horning. The driver, technically known as the “road hog,” js less likely to be the victim of a crossing accident of this sort because the other fellow is bound to hear hitn coming. But rise excessive hornrr js a general nuisance everywhere. He annoys the patrons of the theater, the church congregation, the patients in the hospital and a thousand and one persons who are perfectly well aware that he has a horn. The.v want him to use it; not abuse it at rlielr discomfort. He could be Just as safe at crossings—and could hog the right of way just as successfully—by trying the “short toot, listen and toot again” method.

BRAKE CHECKS HELP MAKE STREETS SAFE Inspections by Policie Are Excellent for Safety. The vigorous manner in which po,li» e departments all over the country are cheeking up automobile brakes Is good evidence of the important part that brakes play in the nation's safety. in many large cities and in hundreds of smaller ones, motorists are being stopped on the streets ami put through driving tests. If the test develops that the brakes do not grip evenly or quickly, the officer orders the driver to have them adjusted. If they function satisfactorily, the driver Is given a windshield sticker Certifying to the good condition of his brakes ami thus saving him the annoyance of another halt and another inspection. “These inspections are an excellent, thing,” said an automobile expert, “and should be made regularly and universally. The average man hate* to drive with poor brakes, but the average man is also very busy. However. the man who stops to consider what faulty brakes might result in, will realize that -the necessary few minutes in the service station are well spent. Good brakes protect lives. And it is certainly the duty of every motorist to make driving as safe as possible.” ANTI-GLARE SHIELD ON CARS Recent Invention Provides Side Illumination by Utilizing Rays From Headlights.

Castellated nuts have away of tightening up between notches. If the nut is screwed upto the notch ahead it is too tight, while the notch back is too loose. This trouble can be cured by a careful filing of the face of the nut so that it can be screwed to the notch ahead.

Apply a small quantity of graphite over the surface of wire spokes and rims to keep them from rusting. • • • A bent front axle, no matter how slight, not only causes poor steering but will soon prematurely wear the tread of tttfth front tires. A car will invariably ride better over a rough road if the engine is constantly pulling it. Most drivers speed up and then apply the brakes when going over the rough places. '

Poultry Breeders Are Interested in Highways A farmer who lived six miles from town, over a mud road, was asked wi*y he didn’t keep more chickens, when the town in question offered a good market for eggs. He replied that he lived too far out, and had no automobile. “Six miles isn’t much more than a half-hour’s ride with your team," the inquirer said. “Half an hour in summer, and three hours iu winter,” replied the farmer. It may not seem as if the good roads movement affects the poultry business, but it has a big influence on the number of chickens kept. The poultry breeder who supplies eggs in quantity for private trade must make prompt deliveries. If a hotel orders a case of eggs at certain intervals, that case of eggs must get there or the farmer loses the trade. The criticism that fanners can’t be depended on and the packing houses can, has been one that can’t be refuted for farmers as a class. There are exceptions, but the farmers themselves admit that there are times when they are at the mercy of the roads. Winter eggs might be had, but why try for them in Jarge numbers when there is a«hance that they could not get them to town if they were laid? There is the question of cold, in winter. Chilled eggs are unfit for hatching; the farmer who has to sell eggs for hatching only during the season when he is not “three hours on the road,” would find his trade limited. Aside from the cold, there is also for hatching eggs the question of jolting the germ to an extent that weakens if not kills it. When the farmer lived upon the products of his own farm, the roads did not seriously affect him. Today they do. Poultry breeders are among our most up-to-date business men. Os course they are interested in the goud roads movement. Western Engineers on Economical Highways How to make the road home shorter by making it better was discussed by engineers from Kansas and adjoin- 4 ing states in the second annual road school held at the Kansas State Agricultural college recently. The work being done in loxya to determine fuel consumption on roads* of different kinds and different grades, showing how much saving in the cost of ga’soline can be effected by a change from a steep to a level grade, was explained. Approximately one-half the gasoline is used in the resistance within the car and one-half in tractive effort. On one road in lowa the cost of a change from earth to a hard surface will be paid in eight years, with, the saving of gasoline alone. On a certain other road, the speaker explained, the saving would not cover the cost within . any reasonable length bf time. Sixty-three types of road in Illinois was the subject of a discussion by an engineer from that state. Tests resulted in a new design of Illinois pavement. The cost of the experiments amounted to $189,000. The saving in construction of the new over the />ld design for the year 1922 was $1,01)0,000. Engineers are advocating no particular type of road except as local conditions and prospective traffic warrant, discussions In the school brought out. Engineers are trying, not to, make all » roads the best roads possible, but to make them the most economical roads, i all things considered, it was decided. Work Resumed on Many 1 Forest Road Projects (Prepared by the United Statee Department ot Agriculture-) With the opening of the forest road construction season .now at hand, the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture reports that there are 89 projects involving 717 miles of road upon which work is being resumed and a number of new projects for which contracts have been recently let. The projects upon which work is being resumed are distributed as follows ; State. Projects. Mileage.

Big Argument in Favor of Gravel for Highway One of the great arguments in favor of gravel for roads Is that it is jmssibla to drain and grade and surface a road with it with little or no interruption of traffic. The going may not always be flrst-class, but it is a lot better than the long and often almost Impossible detours necessary with concrete construction, lasting often two or even three seasons where a road is improved in small sections. Some Highway Figure*. The material to be used during the 1923 season in the repair, work undertaken by the state highway department of Pennsylvania will load 113 solid freight trains of 70 to 104 cars each. ■Pay for Good Road*.
