WASHINGTON (NKA Special)
They blame this on Tom Mar
shall, tho Hoosior wag who nre
sidud over tho senate -during the
two' terms of WooUrow Wilson as
president. , j
"Mr. Coolidge," Marshall is re
ported to have observed, "has cer
tainly made a model president.
HUiting it more exactly, I should
say thut he has been a president
without a vice. But even he
won't bo uble to keep that up for
ever. He'll have one after ALurch
4. It'll be Charley Dawes."
Figure it out for yourself!
Speaking of the Dawses, capital;
society is wondering whether tho
wife of the vice president-to-be Is
overly . enthusiastic at tho pros
pect of four or more ''seusons" In
Washington.
To put it plainly. Mrj, Dawes
isn't fond of the fuss and feath
ers of Washington official society.
She has lived much in Washing
ton: first when Dawes was comp
troller of currency some 20-odd
years ago, luter when ho was di
rector or the budget,
On both of these occasions she
was able to follow her preference
of taking little or no part in the
cupital's soclul life, preferring to
confine her interests and activities
within a little circle . of close
friends. T, ...
As wife of a Vice president, 'iqw
ever, she inherits a sizable bur
den of social obligations that can
not easily bo shifted. In fact it
is suggested the social duties, de
volving upon Mrs. Dawes may be
as irksome to her as tho "figure
head" job of v. p. may be to her
naturally voluablo and aggressive
husband.

Tho document in which Mr. Su

WASHINGTON (By the Assort

unfortunate effect in tending U
promote naval competition.

Japan took the opposite view.
