By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) ‘Washington, April 6—Few presi- dents have aroused such widespread interest in their future careers as Calvin Coolidge. For one thing, Mr. Coolidge him- self has not enlightened anyone and it is understood that he has as yet made no definite plans beyond his intention to contribute occasional magazine articles. He has turned down a number of Jobs, but it is not known whether he is still considering any attractive offer of a position. He has made it clear that he will not return to his old profession of law in Northampton. If he were to accept all the offers he has from publications and syn- dicates of all descriptions he would: be busy writing for the rest of his life. His only drawback might eventually be a shortage of subject material. ‘The question of what ought to be done about ex-presidents has always provided a source for argument. The supreme court offers a good berth, just as dignified as the presidency, but good lawyers are required for those jobs and not all presidents have been that. T. R.

Grover Cleveland was the first president to be voted back into the white house after being once voted out. Between his two terms begin- ning in 1885 and 1893, he practiced law in New York City and prepared as best he could for the next contest. He lived until 1908 at Princeton, N. J., after his final retirement, delivering lectures at the university and writ- ing many articles on national affairs. Benjamin Harrison also wrote, prac- ticed law and lectured on constitu- tional law after March 4, 1893. He wrote a book called “This Country of Ours” and served as an American member of both the peace conference after the Spanish-American war and of the International Board of Arbitra- tion. Chester A, Arthur died in little less than a year after retiring from the Presidency. Garfield who had pre- ceded him, was assassinated. Rutherford B. Hayes, who like Grant and Garfield had been a Civil War general, devoted his post-presi- j dential career to education and phil- anthropy. He was a strong advocate of prison reforms and manual train- ing. Grant Had Trouble Ulysses S. Grant, who was regarded for a time as a third-term candidate, had all sorts of trouble after he left the white house. He made a world tour during which he was honored and acclaimed everywhere. But then he entered business, which he knew little about, and suffered severe fi- nancial loss. He wrote memoirs in an effort to recoup and Congress voted him a general's pay for life. Andrew Johnson was nearly blotted out before he finished the rest of Abraham Lincoln's term. He stayed in politics and in 1875 was elected to the senate, where he died after a few months in his seat during which he made violent attacks on his old] enemies. In one way or another, most of the earlier presidents stayed in public life after leaving the white house. Senator Simeon Fess of Ohio has suggested that ex-presidents be made McKinley and Harding died in|‘ Office. ‘When Crystal descended to the liv- ing room that Saturday morning she * found Harry Blaine stretched out in the biggest arm chair, a pipe between his teeth, his gray eyes watching his hostess with quizzical amusement and admiration. Cherry was arranging hothouse flowers in a row of vases and bowls. At Crystal's “Good Morning!” Harry sprang to his feet and indi- cated his own chair with a grand flourish of his pipe. “The top of the morning to you, Crys! You're just in time to catch Cherry in the act of performing her heavy morning chores.” “I never get any credit for any- thing!” Cherry protested, with an air of deep injury. “I suppose you think this house keeps itself, Harry Blaine! If you only knew how I slave—” ,; “Just work your fingers to the bone, @on’t you, Cherry?” Harry chuckled. Well, I must say the results do you teredit. . .

Much work to do—baby to bathe, these ‘vases to distribute, luncheon table to lots of things,” she ED i work, I suppose you already have the thing sketched out?” “Roughly,” Harry admitted, draw- ing some folded sheets of “copy” Paper from his pocket. “Here's the main idea—” He was reading his notes, many explanatory interpolations, when the prolonged shrill of the tele- phone interrupted. They heard the clatter of Cherry's high heels on the stairs, then her high-pitched voice. The reporter had resumed his reading when an excited Cherry came run- ning into the room. “The oddest thing!” she gasped, but her eyes were sparkling with wicked glee. “You heard the phone, of course. . . Well, the call was for Dick Talbot!” “That is odd, of course!” Harry Blaine grinned. “Fancy old Dick get- ting a telephone call! Probably doesn’t happen more than once or ieaeg & year. Extremely odd, I calls “You needn't jeer!” Cherry scolded. “Just wait till I tell you—” “Better tell Dick, hadn't you?” Harry suggested. “It was a girl,” Cherry went on, sublimely impervious to reproof. “And she was crying, or had been, because her voice was all choky and gaspy. Like this: “Is—is Dick—I mean, is Mr. Dick Talbot there?’ And when I said, no, and that it was Mrs. Jon- 50n speaking, and I'd take a message, she said, ‘Oh! Please, please tell him to call Callie at the grocery store! You won't forget, will you, Mrs. Jon- son? The grocery store! Tell him it's terribly important. ”. Abruptly abandoning her imitation of a weak, frightened little voice, Cherry went i es if that isn’t odd, Ine! ‘The grocery store’! ‘Callie!’ ‘What has Dick Talbot been up to?” NEXT: More mystery about Dick.
