GREEK BY BIRTH, AMERICAN BY CHOICE, IS GREAT BOOSTER _ FOR WORK DONE BY REDCROSS Gus, Greek by birth and Amert- can by choice, in one of Casper's best exponents of the work being done by the Community Chest or- ganizations, which are about to launch thelr annual drive for funds, Gus is no platform orator, but given a chance he can wax lyric on what. the Red Cross did for him. Gus was born in Athens. He came to America as an immigrant, in- tending to amass a fortune and re- turn to, his own, cou + He had been here only.a year the war of ways and his broken speech made it hard for him to get along. When the war ended Gus took the advico of the men at Washington and took up a home- stead in New Mexico as soon as he received his discharge. He proved up on it but soon found it could not support him. Thus Gys came to Casper and found work here. Being willing and industrious, he started out well. Then fate took a hand in the game again and Gus had to go to the hos- pital one dav iu a big hurry. Doc- tors found his condition required an immediate operation and careful nursing, and the Red Cross saw to it that Gus received this care. It costs money, however, to stay in a hospital and be operated on and when ~Gus completed his convales- cense, he‘was presented with a bill the total of which amounted to mere than We had earned in two years. ss Crushed by this calamity, Gus went to the Red Cross as a last re- sort, for his army service had taught him the Red Cross was his friend. a WASHINGTON—Definite revival of business of a volume partly to overcome recession of mid-summer has been noted by the federal re- serve board in the last six weeks al- though current production still is below the same period last year.

French secret service officials however, are convinced that the Spaniards arrested at Perpignan, Banyuls and Hendaye were concern- ed in a plot against the military dic- tatorship. In a statement to Le Matin, Vi- cente Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish nove‘ist, who recently declared his opposition to the Rivera regime, characterizes the present movement as “absurd and criminal—abstrd be- cause it has no chance to succeed, and criminal because it has caused useless lors of life, He adds that “It is the doing of a handful of anarchists who must not be confounded in any way with the republican movement,” The Red Cross got busy as usual, The hospital bill was guaranteed and Gus was found work that would not hurt him. He appeared at the Red Cross the following day with a great cake covered with frosting an inch thick, baked by himself to show his appreciation. His fear of being jailed because he could not pay was gone. ‘Today Gus is well on the road to- wards becoming a good citizen and an.asset to Casper.

ROBERT T. SMALL , (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) WASHINGTON, Novy. 10.—Prior to the election of last Tuesday, the country for some reason or another, had the impression that Calvin Coolidge didn’t know much about poli- tics. The country of fate, a President Coolidge is the longer than any man of his years now Calvin Coolidge hag run for polit- ical office just twenty times. And twenty times he has been elected. If any man in politics today can match or beat that record, let him come forward at this time or forever after hold -his peace. Certainly, there is no one to match a path of politica! fortune which has run all the way from city councilman of Northamp- ton, Mavs., to the presidency of the United States, without only about five ‘lean” years intervening from the lowest office to the highest. It might almost be said of the President that he hag won 21 times, for in college he entered a national contest for a gold medal offered by the Sons of the Revolution for the best essay on the “Principles for Which the Colonies Fought in the Revolutionary War." The contest was open to all colleges. Young Cool- ldge, of @mherst, carried off the prize. Within four years after his grad- uation, Coolidge had made his first politicnl bid and won his first po litical victory. He was kraduated in 1895. In 1899 he was in the city council of Northampton. Political victory number two came when he was olected aity solicitor in 1900 for two years, In 1904 came political victory number three—clerk of court, ‘Then the buddt: Politician, who had after great deliberation, tra’ Planted himself from Vermont to Massachusetts, soil, began to warm MRS.

Mr. Coolidge's victories have come in this manner: 1.—City counciiman, 1890, 2.—City solicitor, 1900, 3.—Clerk of courts, 1904, 4.—House of representatives, Massachusetts, 1906.

Mr. Coolidge never has made much fuss and feathers about his remark able political record, That is why ¢ has known so little con tcerning it. He long ago adopted the theory that silence was golden and there has been no one to say hin nay. Where other politicians would have been “pointing with pride,” “Si lent Cail” has merely gone ahead. sticking to the job, doing the day's work, and reaping the harvest. Lf he has lacked imagination as some of his opponents have said, he cer: tainly has not lacked the necessary essentials of success. bos Tal MARNE RIVER FLOODS PARIS PARIS, 10.—Inhabitants of the eastern suburbs of Paris, heavy | sufferers in the January re again undergoing a visitation of the waters, I) after persis Nov. floods, tent rains, hi welling for the last week, six feet yoster-| day, week. in cash and yalual SELECTION OF PARTY LEADER FOR NEU TERM PROBLEMATIC Coolidge Must Deter- mine on Senator Who Will Produce Greatest Solidarity in Repub- lican Ranks, \ » Mass., Nov. 10.— ral service: for United States tor Henry Cabot Lodge, who died at the Charies Gate hospital here late last night after a fight for life that surprised the doctors, will be held Wednesday at Christ church, Cambridge, probably at noon, it was decided by his family today as he will be buried in the Lodge family. lot at Mount Auburn cemetery, Bishop William Lawrence, who was 4 playmate and college mate Entries in the Vaffles day book toteied something like $9300. easily trims- of Senator Lodge, will officiate at the services, assisted by Rev.
