ESTABLISHED 1873 _ PRESIDE _« SLENDER HOPE IS HELD FORTH FOR RECOVERY Remarkable Fight of Boy For Life About Only Favorable Condition Told PHYSICIANS. WATCH All Remain Close to Bedside at Hospital—President and Wife There Washington, July 7 (By the A. P.) --The last point of gravity was; reached this afternoon in the condi- tion of Calvin Coolidge Jr., son of the President, suffering from blood poisoning at Walter Reed army hos- pital. He was clinging to life with won- derful tenacity, but hope was about all that was held out for his re- covery. a All of his medical attendants were remaining close by and finding as chiefly marvellous the stamina the boy was exhibiting. Gas was said to be forming in the stomach, an additional evidence of the progress of infection, and making it impossible for him to take nutri- tion by the ordinary means. The President and Mrs, Coolidge were re- maining immediately at hand. Despite all of the unfavorable con- ditions, his bedside watchers and phy- siciarts still held to hope that he might recover by means of the deter- mined fight he is making for his life. ‘After a’ consultatiop of physicians early this afternoon President and Mrs. Coolidge decided to go to the White House for luncheon, indicating that the doctors felt that their pa- tient was not actually in a dying con- dition. «Washington, July -‘7.(By: the AcP.) —After a night during which the patient was said to have heen near i e te sinkiny death) in CHRES susererave cn’ wa utodiyawon theltinals injithe srells, Calvin Coolidge Jr., son o the President, was still fighting bravely for his life early today with his safe passage through the early morning hours giving slightly increased hope of his recovery. Tt ss announced shortly after 7 | o’clock this morning that the Presi- dent’s son was “somewhat more comfortable” after having passed, critical stage of his illness from; isceptic poisoning. One of the physicians who re- mained in attendance described his survival during the night as a “mir: acle” adding that he now had a bare fighting chance for recovery. The condition that gives greatest pro mise, he said, is that no vital or- gan has broken down in the strain. The physicfan confirmed reports that a blood transfusian had been resorted to, presumably about mid- night, and! said the boy had “reacted well to the transfusion” and other things that have been done to him. While it was started in one quar- ter that oxygen had been adminis- tered during the sinking spell early jans refused to com- phase of the case.

In a letter to the committee for the petitioners, Mr. Hall found the petitions, which were said to contain 20,100 names, insufficient for the following reasons: First, the proposed amendment seeks to amend a constitutional section relating to the debt limit of the state, and also amends and re-enacts various provisions of not mention all subjects included. “The line of, demarcation be- ‘tween a constitutional amend- is well defined,” the letter states, quoting a supreme court decision. The Secretary of State holds that purely legislative acts and con- stitutional amendments cannot be embraced in the same petition. The petitions were found to contain sufficient names, the count given by the secretary of state’s office being 20,912.

The mercury today was moving toward the high point of the season in Bismarck. Sunday the thermo- meter reached 86 degrees above zero here, the hottest point thus far in the summer.

Several points in the state reported temperatures around 85, with a hot sun beaming and no rain to relieve the temper- atures. The mercury also remained up to 62 here last night. There appeared to be no general rain in sight, although possibly. showers may fall tonight. Crops thus faf are ‘not suffering, and the hot weather is a big boon to the corn, and also in the ripen- ing of grain, according to farmers.

LEAGUE READY With Community and Civic Betterment Indianapolis, July 7.—Interest -in community and civic betterment among members of the American Legion is growing rapidly, accord- ing to Garland W. Powell, director of the Legion’s National American- ism commission, under whose direc- tion this phase of Legion work is being carried out. Mr. Powell’s statement was based on the hundreds of requésts which have been pouring into the Com- munity and Civic Betterment bureau, a division of the Americanism com- mission. “While we have many feports con- cerning posts which have already as- sumed some community responsibil- ity, it is surprising how many Le- gionnaires are planning campaigns for betterment of conditions about them,” Mr. Powell declared. Re- quests for direction along these lines are received daily, and indicate that constructive work for their neigh- is the principal aim of this group of ex-service men. ‘There is no intention on the part of the Legion to supplant any agen- cy engaged in work of this charac- ter, but to offer our broad member- ip as an agency equipped to align all community endeavor.” | Advice furnished by the bureau Will extend to every phase of com- munity de lopment and civic bet- ‘torment, Mr. Powell said.
