—™ By ALLENE SUMNER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Dec. 15.—A lot of people in Washington are going to regret the departure of President Coolidge from the White House next March 4, but none will regret it more than the capital’s small army of newspaper and movie reel photog- raphers. For Mr. Coolidge is regarded by them as one of the best of “subjects” —while they think President-elect Hoover is about the worst. Mr., Coolidge doesn’t mind being photographed; Mr. Hoover does. Mr. Coolidge is willing to pose in almost any way requested; Mr. Hoover isn’t. One learns a lot about big men from the fellows whose job it is to photograph them on all sorts of oceasions and under all kinds of} conditions and circumstances. They come to know them well. “Yeah, Coolidge is okeh,” one of | the picture hounds will tell you. “He always sees to it that every one of us gets our pictures. Sometimes several of the boys are late and they'll come running up just after the pose is finished. The president will wait for them and do the hand- shaking stuff all over again. He never leaves but what he turns around and smiles: ‘Well, boys— got all you want?’” But Hoover's entirely different, according to these fellows. They have known him as food adminis- trator, secretary of commerce, flood relief director and many of them were with him in Belgium. And they call him the hardest man in Washington to photoraph. An outstanding complaint seems to be that Mr. Hoover, when being photographed, dislikes to remove his hat, always prefers to look the lens full in the face and utterly refuses to button his famous double-breasted coats. “He should know better than to wear double-breasteds, a big fellow like him,” said one of the camera- men. “And if he must, he ought to keep ’em buttoned—but he won't.” And, to prove this point, he drew forth a file of Hoover pictures. All were in the double-breasted coat and the doubled-breasted coat was open to the breeze, regardless of the weather. .* Another difference—from the cam- eramen’s standpoint—is that Mr. Coolidge is willing to wear clothes that make good pictures, and Mr. Hoover isn’t. For instance, when he goes trapshooting he dresses as a trapshooter should dress. But with Mr. Hoover, regardless of the occasion, it’s nearly always the slouch hat and the double-breast- ed coat. Once, in the west last sum- mer, the boys got a picture of him in fishing togs—and half of them wanted to frame it, right then and there. ee j_INNEW YORK | New York, Dec. 15.—In a world that spins a bit hectically at times these days, a faint suggestion of the lavender and old lace that once was still clings to The Little Church Around the Corner. Caught, as it is, in the midst of a city that sprouts even faster than a lanky lad in his ’teens, the “little church” is variously an oasis and an incongruity. It suggests quiet and rest in the midst of noise and dis- turbance. It suggests the quaint ‘and the pastoral where all is ur- ban and mechanical. Its tiny lawn, its little pathways, its simple color- ing and charming architecture are exaggerated by the harsh contrasts about it. It does not seem to cry against its surroundings; rather it le..ves the passer-by to stage his own revolt. oe And there is about it, too, the ghost of such romances as are pic- tured inscinema fade-outs . . . ro- z.ances that run through wild- flowered meadows; romances that meet at country cross roads and go contentedly on t> the grave; ro- mances that defy the city’s clamor and sing in soft voices in the face of the city’s roar; romances clad in dimity and in short skirts as well— but romances that brewed of the same ingredients whatever their geography or their nature. The Little Church Around the Corner is a place to make one senti- mental; a place to kick off the so- phisticated armor that one dons to ward off the blows of metropolitan life; a place to come upon at sun- lown when the racket and clamor is becoming a faint echo. ee Walking thus at sundown it is not uncommon to see old couples walking along the paths and through the gates and into the church doors. They come from cver the earth... ™men and women who found this the end of mance trail. They come by the day, by the week, by the month and by the year. Bhcy come for their anniversaries and they come to water the fading flowers of love. Lam told that hundreds of couples make this their yearly pilgrimage. And now and then one comes alone ».. an old man or a young man... an old woman or a young woman ai And wen ghey some, alone y pause hesitatingly at the gate «». and look about in blurred con- fusion at finding themselves alone + +.» Sometimes they cannot force their way through the doors, but turn away with tear-dimmed eyes «+. and sometimes they sink into ry ny and collapse sobbing. e church attendants are accus- tomed to every sort of emotional demonstration. Years have brought before their eyes such dramas as they cannot describe. | One night, I was told, a girl start- ed for the river. She had planned to wed in this church, as have so many hundred others, but the man had disappeared a few nights be- fore the wedding. She had waited arid waited . ind then, in a burst of " out to end . But, she passed the fore morning she had sobbed out her | yy, and night someone may wander in from the muddled world outside for a moment of peace and self-con- templation. For, by tradition and appearance, the “little church” inspires a confi- dence and trust. GILBERT SWAN. (Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.) DISHEARTENED GIRL SUICIDES ‘There Is No One Left Since the Family Is Gone,’ Girl’s Note Says New York, Dee. 15.— (AP) — Loneliness and fear of illness were believed by police today to have caused Miss Leila Kerr, 35 years old, student flyer, to shoot herself to death in her suite in the Hotel Ambassador. A note, found in the pocket of a coat, read: “T have suffered a stroke ... there is no one left since the family is gone and my brother died... He died in the war... .” Her brother, Walter, was killed in the world war and her father, moth- er and a sister died several years ago. She was the sole survivor of the family. Flying was her recreation, police said, and she had twice crossed the continent in airplanes. A student’s flying certificate dated last July was found among her effects. 7 Miss Kerr had not been seen about the hotel since late Thursday. When the manager, Theodore Kroll, en- tered her suite with a pass key last night, he found the body on a hed, clad in an afternoon frock. Near her was a silver-handled pistol and a box of cartridges. There was a pale wound in the right side of her ead, (By the Associated Press) SATURDAY Senate rules committee meets.
