Coolidge's Program President Coolidge hati another chance to demonstrate his capacity tor legislative accomplishment by securing enact ment of the program he outlined today, the principal points "Sing: 1. Incoino and Inheritance tax reduction. 2. Adherence to the 'World Court. 3. Keeping aviation subordinate to army and navy. 4. Curtailing shipping board powers. 5. Increased power to deal with coal strikes. 6. Encouragement ot cooperative marketing. 7. Greater observance ot prohibition and more vigorous forcomcnt. 8. Railroad consolidation and development of inland waterways. 9. Sale of Muscle Shoals. ' The test of Coolidge leadership will come on the world court proposal, on the aviation wrangle, on the shipping board quarrel and on prohibition. Despite the fact that he has a clear working majority in both houses of congress over any coalition of progressives and democrats, and there will be little opposition to the tax bill and other measures, it is by no means certain that he will succeed in forcing his wishes upon congress. The Coolidge record of accomplishments is not an inspir ing one. xaKe me list: Favored tho World's Court It was pigeon holed. Endorsed Mellon 's tax plan it was defeated.

An extend- Loves Greatest Gift By VIOLET DARE AN IMPORTANT STMI' An Mary enmo out of tho Inner office, after mnkini; flnul ammiio- menis wun Stanley Klnlce, tho girl who wna walUng for her exclaimed "You sot tho Job, tlidn't you? 1 wish I could afford to take it; ho aoenia liko such a nice man. Hut I knnw I couldn't livo on twenty dollais a week." "JIavo you over tried it- asked Alary. "Why, no, I haven't; I've nlwityn lived with my brother. But llvlnK in tho city Ls so hiKh. I'vo nlwayw henj-d that it coat a lot to live hero" "Well, let's go to lunch; there's a cafeteria downvat the corner. J noticed it an wo came in. "Wo could KO thefo and talk things over while we eatjwit'fl bo oarly that there won t bo a crowd yet," Mitry folt vory competent Indeed as alio encortcd her "now friend to tho cnfotorla nnd showed hor how . to gather up their lunchoon; tho othor nirl, Ihouph oldor than ho was, know so llttlo about city ways. She liked this Rlrl whose name, aho had learned, was Celia Stewart and wanted to do something for her, encourage her and help her to find work. They got amazingly well acquaint ed during that leisurely luncheon; found that they liked many of the name things, shared many Ideas. Mary insisted on celebrating her having found n Job by buying ice cream for thorn both for dessert; it waa as they wore eating Jt that an Inspiration enmo to her. "Sco here," ahe exclaimed "Listen to this. "Why shouldn't we live together, you and I havo a little place of our own? Oh, not an apartment; wo couldn't afford that now. But we could got two roomn somewhere, next each other, and then make sort of an apartment out of them." "VhV It would bo wonderful Celia'a eyes filled with tears of Joy. "I'vo wonderod what on earth I'd do, where I'd live and then you come along and suggest tho ery thing. Only I haven't got a Job yet, remember." "You'll get one," Mary told her confidently, "If I'd had your ex perience I'd go out to the Univer sity and boo It I couldn't got work there, or to nnn nt Mm t.i ii torlea or aomethlng. You belong IH U Iliaco 1 KO tllllt unt In o !....( nem offlco. Tell 'em you've spccial- u-.uu in scientirio work.

Tretty for out; It would take us foi'tV-flvo Ililnntna tn tl.n marked Miirv. "Thnc. n rl- :ia I live. Maybe there's something nearer. Oh, aee hero, Celia two rooms with tho nxn nt iHtohon aultablo for married couple, four teen dollars a week. Running wa ter in one of tho rooms. Well, we area c a married couple, but If It's suitable for ono it will be for us, maybe. I'll tell you, I'll go and look at It, while you go on job hunt ing." "You're simply wonderful," Cel ia told hor, as they left the cafe teria. "I'm two years older than you aro, and I don't know half a much about getting around." Mary Inughed. It was delightful to havo aomeono thinking that ahe knew a lot nboutjiow to do things; her aunt had always said that sho twoa Just useless. Hut that waa bo cauae aho'd never had a chance to do thing, Mary told herself. There was no telling what she could do. oneo she got a chance. The rooms sho went to see were not very large, but there was a door between thorn, and ono had windows that overlooked a shady back yard. The windows of the othor looked out on the narrow passage between two houses. The furniture waa not vory attractive. Uut Mary told herself that they could put up cretonne curtains, and perhaps cover the chairs and tho couch tn the back room, that they would use as a living-room. "I'll take them," sho told the landlady, quite forgetting that ahe hud nnt vol Innliiwl nt ti. 1,1. i I or the bathroom which they would have to share with other tenants and which waa on the floor below. une went away nguring up ex penses In her mind. II er share of the rent would be seven dollars a week that would leave thirteen for other things. She had plenty of clothes, and her car fare would be only ten cents a day; she could walk to the office sometimes, If the weather was good; It was only about a mile and a half. 'I won't have much to spend on luxuries," she told herself, "but maybe I can get some extra typing to do evenings, on Celia's machine; she'd let me use It. And It will be such fun having my vory own home." There would be trouble when she told her aunt and uncle what she planned to do, she knew. In that she was not mistaken. She broke the news that evonlng after dinner. Her aunt started at her in amaze ment. - Why, Mary, what on earth would you go off and llvo somewhere else for?" she demanded. "When you ve got a good home here I don't see why on earth dou'd do that. In the first' place, you can't afford It and you can't be Bure of keeping tills new Job you've- got either. What'U you do it you lose It? You get your room and board here for just ten dollars a week It'll be mighty different when you have to do everything pn twenty dollars I'll toll you." 'I a' pose this Isn't good enough for you, since you've been going around with a rich man," Lulu broke in. "Pat Hamilton's been too much for you, with all his mon ey." "Mary " he aunt turned on her sharply. "Has he got anything to do with your wanting to go off and live by yournclf?" "Oh no, Auntie," Mary cried. If only hor aunt know how Hamilton had treated hort But it would be too humiliating to tell the truth. Ho's gone away and probably I'll novcr see him again. I just want to try living this other way, that's all. It'll be so much nearer my work, and well, I just want to do It." 'If you had any sense you d stay on here, and spend your 'money buying some pretty clathos, and when he comes back you'd land him," hor aunt told her. "The thing for a girl to do Is to marry and marry well just as soon as she can. You don't want to go on forever working in an office and be an old maid, do you?" Mary shook her head and left the room; It was Impossible to talk with her aunt. But she was as de termined ash she bad been that morning to move, and began to pack her things at once, Monday The New Ilomc. ' SAME ISSUES ADVOCATED BY COOLIDGE (Continued from Page One to produce nitrates primarily with power development Incidental, ho contended that the Muscle Shoals problem had "assumed a place all out ot proportion with Its real Im portance." "It probably does not represent in market value much more than a first-class battleship," he added, "yet It has been discussed in the Congress over a period of years and for months at a time." Prefacing his recommendations with a statement that "the country does not appear to require radical departures from the policies al ready adopted so much as it needs further extension of these policies and the improvement of details" and an appeal for continued vig ilance against extravagant govern mental expenditures, the Presi dent emphasized the need for fur ther roductlon and declarell ho approved "in principle" the bill drafted by the Ways and Means committee. Satisfied With Cuts "In so far as Income tax exemp tions are concerned," he continued, "It scorns to me the committee has gone as far as it Is safe to go and somewhat further than 1 should have gone." In a long discussion ot foreign relations Mr. Coolidge made these assertions: That the Locarano security agree monts represent the success of the policy of having European coun tries settle their own political prob lems without involving the United mates. That reduction of land arma ments not only Is of prime Import ance but a problem peculiarly Eur opean and in its practical aspects, and that "our country would look with particular gratitude upon any action which those countries might take to reduce their own military forces." That "the general policy of our country is for disarmament, and it ought not to hesitate to adopt any practical plan that might reason ably be expected to succeed. But it would not care to attend a con ference which from its location or constituency would in all probab ility prove futile." Urges World Court That American participation In the world Court would not mean in volvcment in the League of Na tions, but would "contribute great ly to the advancement of our Ideals." That debt settlements already negotiated "impose no undue bur-, den and are mutually beneficial" and that "every reasonable effort will bo made to secure agreements; for liquidation with the remaining; countries." ; Turning to domestic issues the! Prosident advocated a new enact-! mont of a selective service act forj mobilization of materials as well as men In emergencies. The report of the air board ought to be "reas suring," he declared, adding that, the departments of War, Navy and j Commerce, "should each bo pro vided with an additional assistant secretary, not necessarily with stat uory duties but who would be available under the direction ofj the secretary to give especial at tention to uir navigation." "We must have an air strength worthy of America," he said, "Pro vision should be made for two ad ditional brigadier generals for' the army air service. Temporary rank corresponding to their duties should be awarded to active flying officers in both army and navy." With reference to agriculture, tho president regarded its position as a whole Improved although many localities and individuals still are In a distressing condition. In his opinion farmers generally do not wish meddling by the govern ment or direct or Indirect price fixing "which would result from permitting the government to jop crate in the agricultural markets" and power should be given the De partment oC Agriculture to aid markotlng associations without un due regulation." In his analysis of the merchant marine problem, he took tho view that whllo elimination of the reg ional representation feature of the Shipping Board is not desirable, "it has become apparent that with out centralized executive action the management of this great business will flounder in incapacity and languish under a division of coun cil." Pointing out that the federal government has little to deal with; the situation in the coal industry. 1 he advocated authority for appoint' mont of temporary boards with au-J thority to call for witnesses and; documents, conciliate differences, j encourage arbitration and in case of threatened scarcity exorcise con trol over distribution. As for prohibition, the President Said: "Under the orderly processes of our fundamental institutions the Constitution was lately amended providing for national prohibition. The congress passed an act for Its enforcement; and similar acts have been provided by most of the states. It Is tho law of the land. It is the duty of all who come un der its jurisdiction to observe the spirit of that law, and it ia the duty of the Department ot Justice and the Tresury Department to enforce It. Action to prevent smug gling, illegal transportation in In terstate co mm tree, abuse in the use of permits, and existence of sources of supply for illegal traf fic Is almost entirely imposed upon the federal government. "Through treaties with forolgn governments and Increased activ ities of the Coast Guard, revenue agents, district attorneys, and en forcement agents effort Is being made to prevent these violations. But the Constitution also puts a concurrent duty on tho states. We need their active and energetic co operation, the vigilant action of their police, and tho jurisdiction of their courts to assist in enforce ment. I requost of the people ob servance, of the publlo officorB con tfnuing efforts for enforcement, and of tho Qongress favorable ac tion on the budget recommendation for the prosecution of this work." With reference to railroads he recommended authority for con solidations under the supervision of the Interstate Commorce Com mission, and. expressed gratifica tion that railroad employers and employes are In substantial agree ment us to legislation necessary to regulate and Improve their relation ship. Along with development of in land navigation, the President hold, should go every possible encourage ment for development of water power. He advocatod Investigation of expenditures and the success ot laws In Alaska to detcrmino wheth or too much monoy Is being spent for administration and urged in creased authority for tho Governor of the Philippines with a view to preparing the islands for "ultimate independence." He nlso expressed the view that tho time had come to consider civ il service classification of all post masters, collectors ot customs and Internal rovenue and prohibition agents, and advocated passage for the District of Columbia of a mother's pension law that would serve as a model to the states.
