PAGE TEN By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, March 2.—Calvin Coolidge goes out of office and the feature stories about him say he is a thanged Calvin, but it is difficult to see just wherein he is altered. As a matter of fact he seems to be just about the same Calvin who moved into the white house in 1923. He has had more effect. on the pres- idency, if anything, than the pres- idency has had on Calvin. He is just as sour, just as jolly, just as timid, just as brave, just as happy, just as glum, just as selfish, just as self- sacrificing, just as materialistic, as he ever was. And only five or six years older. * * He has taken his job seriously, up to the last moment, pursuing the ap- Pallingly even tenor of his ways with- out speeding up or slowing down Not too much significance should be at- tached to the fact that he took a walk in February without his over- coat. Such an escapade is nothing new in the life of Calvin Coolidge. Only a short time after he became president he enjoyed in all its ecstatic hilarity the experience of watching a girl turn flapjacks in the window of @ local restaurant. Undoubtedly he derived more genuine pleasure than if the girl had merely been turn- ing flipflops. They do say that the “great thange” in Calvin Coolidge was really tirst noticed by the acutely observant when he donned cowboy clothes pre- sented him by Boy Scouts in South Dakota, That meant, one reads, that he had decided to hold office no more And was setting about to emancipate himself from the repressive require- | ments of complete dignity. All sorts of explanations have been offered for the president's most un- ‘usual conduct upon that occasion, to make a hit wtih the west. the Boy Scouts. |been known to do that sort of thing, but the country roared with laughter. * * * Neither does the fact that Mr. things around Thanksgiving and Christmas time signify that the re- tiring president was then or is now planning to embark on a course of what might be called comparative whoopee. Given a gun and some clay pigeons, who wouldn't? In the expiring session of the seventieth congress, he accepted his defeats just as passively and silently as he did at the beginning of his ad- ministration. He was never the man to make a stirring, uncompromising fight against an unruly congress. Calvin Coolidge never rebelled against his fate and when his pet measures were ignored, his appoint- ments defeated or his vetoes overrid- den, that was that. At the last he was neither more thrifty nor more careless with public or personal monies than when he be- gan. He still talked economy and still ignored the fact that the coun- try wasn't getting it in the way it thought it was. His taste in appointments never improved or deteriorated. The ap- Ppointments were both good and bad up to the last moment. Now it is understood that Mr, Coolidge will write articles, which is ‘just what he did while he was vice president. He is a little older and much wealthier than when he succeeded Warren G. Harding. But otherwise he is our own Cal, uncontaminated and unaffected by experience in the world’s biggest job. “No, really, Harry, I'm all right tow,” Tony Tarver assured the young newspaperman, her hand on the knob of her own front door. They had crossed Serenity Boulevard in silence. “Forgive me if I don’t ask in. I'm really exhausted.” “I wish I'd broken Dick Talbot's classical nose for him tonight, when he barged into us with his threat to mash my own not-so-classical-probos- cis for me,” the reporter said with irrelevance. “I’m afraid the damage to his beauty would have to be quite gen- eral,” grinned Tony. “Aren't I an utter unmitigated fool, Harry? Just because his hair grows a certain way, and his eyebrows misbehave enchant- ingly and his mouth quirks, and his eyes...” She shrugged again and laughed ruefully, but beneath the Porch light her eyes were suddenly naked and pitiful. “Better marry him, Tony, poor kid, and get over it,” Harry Blaine ad- {night she startled him by laughing suddenly, this time a genuinely gay and friendly sound. “Poor Harry! The price he paid for being a chivalrous gentleman!” she gibed softly. “It’s all right, dear, I'm awfully glad, really,” she added obscurely. “Don’t think I’m sorry you've got over loving me. It’s Crystal now, isn’t it?” The flush became fiery, as Harry Blaine answered: “Yes, I think it must have been Crystal for quite a while, but I didn’t know it. And as usual, I’m too late. She's still in love with that Pablo chap—” “No, no!” Tony interrupted ve- hemently. “Couldn't you see tonight? Don’t you realize ?—Crystal is brand new. She's been born again. The old Crystal was infatuated with Pablo Mendoza, Harry, but the new Crystal isn’t in love with anyone yet. It's up to you, though I’m afraid you may find the field a little crowd- ed. I'll root for you, if you think I have any influence. Now run along— vised, taking her hands in his and kissing the cold little finger-tips. “Marry him!” Tony was fierccly scornful. “That’s just what I'll be eternally damned if I do—and I'm not swearing either, Harry! I'll never marry anybody because of the awful certainty that I'll ‘get over it’... Now, you may give me the kiss that Dick dared you to give me.” And +she offered him her lips, which were smiling faintly. She did not fail to see the quick flush on the reporter's cheeks, or the slight hesitation before he bent and brushed her lips in the briefest possible contact.
