(Copyright, 1928, by Star Co.) The News columns will sup ply you with fuets on the elec tion. r The mum thing is that pen pie really took the trouble to vote, something that compara tively few have done usually. It AVMulU have been more en couragini; had interest in pub lic questions aroused Ihe un usual interest, rather than questions aside from American government. Hut voting for any reason is welcome. Old A'ermout farmers thai knew "t'al" Coolidge," u little boy, helping his father with the farm chores, would have been untaxed to see that same "C'al" Tuesday gettiiif; out of a seven-car special train, tak ing him from the White House to the polls at Northampton, Mass. The President east his first vole in Northampton, was elected councilman there, long ago, and has been steadily in office ever since, nominated nineteen or twenty limes, never beaten. A record in politics as good as Cromwell's in war. Cromwell never lost a battle. The old farmers would ob serve with pleasure that being, President, with $7f,000 u year salary, a White House and a big yacht, have not spoiled Calvin Coolidge. Next March lie. will move from the Whit;1 House to Northampton and re sume life in a small house which '.he rents for $32.50 a month. Such a man is nut dependent on money. Hut the President could .save plenty of it. More than one law firm would be glad to guarantee him! three times his presidential salary. And he would not have to work hard. Perhaps the President c'hoosesj to wait awhile, look around, and possibly take u sec ond elective term in the White House, eight years, hence.

Except ing the Lincoln statue, none in "Chicago is erected to so noble and useful a num. - Dr. Leopold Htciglitz, of New York, able scientist and bril liant diagnostician, brother of Professor Julius Stieglilz who teaches chemistry nt Chicago University, says "Wo need a .
