ORKCiON, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1025 NO. 24 PRES TOPENS WORLD FAIR IN CHICAGO Women's Exposition Launched By President Coolidge Via the Radio Example Set in Public Office Stressed By Chief Executive Cabbages vs. Votes for Women. WASHINGTON, April 18. Presi dent Coolidge In a radio address de livered tody on the occasion of tfcc opening of the Women's World's fair in Chicago said an advantage to bo gained from government- econ omy and efficiency is the inspiration they provide for pursuit of such methods In business and in the home. "If the people," nsserted the pres ident, "In tho daily management of their modest domestic affairs, note that the great interests of theja gov ernments and of their semi-public Institutions are dealt with in a spirit .of laxity and a mood of carelessness, they find little inspiration to apply better methods in the management of their own concerns. The great business operations which are con stantly under the public eye ought to bo handled so as to make them an example in sound proceedure. "The importance of -sound busi ness methods was never so great as it is today. It is particularly true placed on a basis of rigid economy, that government business should be "In our modern society, public and private savings are quickly trans mitted Into capital available for pro duction. . The increasod production . makes goods more, plentiful and therefore cheaper; and at the lower price level people can afford to con sume more. i- "The I'eal disaster to a modern community comes when easy and ill Jonsidored consumption prevents tho storing away of new capital to meet tho ever-Increasing demands." Mr. Coolidge commended sponsors of the fair - for placing their work! on a business basis by establishing a budget, with a result that all ex- senses were met before the doors were ready to ho opened- This 71-' nanclal accomplishment, he added, presents a "strong contrast to tho average project of Ifko character; supported in easy fashion out of public funds." "I know of nothing more cnlcu- j lated to promote tho pride of vigor-1 ous community life, tho sentiments of self-respecting nationalism, tho truest loyalty, to high traditions of! national character than these distinc-j five assemblies of tho people," the president said'. ! "If vo -could find means to bring all the people and groups of the people truly to know and under- stand each other, I am confident most of our social problems would have been started well on the way to solution. It Is not intolerance, so much as Ignorance that leads men and nations into antagonism." Pointing out the benefits to be gained from holding the fair' which opened today in Chicago,- Mr. Cool idge said "our country wants Its arts and scienco; Its commerco and agri culture; its production and transpor tation; its education and invention, not merely that they may bo used In the market aplce, the factory and tho field, but that they may all be translated into the home." "All of these efforts," he added, .''arc for broadening the outlook on life, for making better men and women; they all have the purpose to become effective forces at tho fire side. For long ages past men have gone forth into the world; more re cently they have been followed by women. Each are endowed with the same desire, each attempting to contribute to the satisfaction of tho universal longing of the human race to bring something better; home. The contribution that It can make to that high purpose, the success of this fair will be measured." ! Cnbhngo Brought Suffrage CHICAOO, April 18. (By Associ ated Trend.) More than seventy oc cupation of women are represented at the Women's World- Valr opening here today. Only one, needlework. 'Continued on Paire Six) "PRINCE" WHO ADMITS HE IS NEW YORK. Xprll 18.
