(AP) President Coolidge continues to receive numerous proposals and suggestions for an occupation after his retirement from office but he s yet has made no defin ite decision as to what he will do He tells those with propositions to offer that he is not in a posi tion to give them a positive an iwer until after. March 4. The imost recent nronosal to reach'! tb president Is that he write syndicated articles for news papers and magazines. Rumors that Mr. Coolidge was receiving affera of this kind have been given circulation within the last fort night, based upon the fact that he had been visited 1 by represents tlves of half a dozen organizations engaged In this field. , . Mission Kept Secret Upon leaving the White House hese representatives, however, consistently have declined to re- real their mission, and It only be ams known definitely today that ihelr purpose was to interest Mr, the full meeting- of the experts to day decided to add a Frenchman; an Italian and a Belgian to the subcommittee which was asked to try again. It was inferred from the fact that there was no American on the subcommittee that the United States delegation prefers the most directly interested parties to de cide these most important . ques tions of organisation. Owen D. Young and J. P. Mor gan are generally recognized here as interested only in the techni cal phases of the question. They are not involved In the political angles, which, however,- cannot be eliminated without difficulty. French Play Waiting Game The French thesis seems to be that the creditors of Germany have ne right to payments under the Dawes plan which were fixed by the first expert committee and that if any changes are to be; made In this the initiative must come from the debtor. The Ger mans on the other hand, seek to hold that having set forth in full detail the economic situation of the Reich. It is for the committee to draw its conclusions and to de cide what the Reich can pay and fix the annuities and total repar ations accordingly. This thesis meets a stubborn attitude cn the part' of the - Belgians who resist any Idea of decreasing their share of reparations and on the part of the Italians who declare that they are not getting enough under the present system. Coolidge in writing as a future ac tivity. At the same time it was learned that the president regards this work as an exceptionally fine field, but hesitates to. bind him self to the production of articles tn specified numbers and at spe cified times. -i . Some Writing Promised After he retires from the presi dency, Mr. Coolidge expects to write an occasional article dealing with his experiences in publie of fice : and with reminlscenses of notable occasions, but he prefers tbat these,, be undertaken at his leisure and completed, when he sees fit, with no thought for newspaper "deadlines." For some months, Mr. Coolidge has declined! to make any an nouncement as to what he plans to do after ho leaves office and it has been said that he will reach not decision until some time after March 4. The president believes as ehief executive of the nation he would be unjustified in enterlna- into an alliance with any outside interest as long as he Is in office.

Within three hours, she had a real part in the picture "The Loves of Sunya." Miss Bayard says: "I am told my selection was largely due to my perfect skin and lovely hair. I've really never taken much trouble with either. For my hair I use the simple method that most of the girls I know here In New York are so enthusiastic about. It's so easy. All you do is put a little Danderine on your brush each time you use It "This method is Just what a busy girl needs. It's so easy; and It keeps your hair and scalp so clean you' don't need to shampoo half so often. I am letting my harr grow and I find Danderine helps make it soft and easily man ageable. ' I can arrange it any way I want and it stays that way. All my friends are. complimenting me on the appearance of my hair, nowadays because Danderine has brought out all its natural cojor and made it so soft and lustrous." Danderine remo'ves the oily film from each strand and makes dull, stringy, hair gleamy, soft, easy to dress. It tones and refreshes the scalp; . helps overcome . dandruff.
