With the return of beer, the mgestro, America will gradually go back to the even tenor of pre- Volstead days. Hectic jazz will give place to the rousing, melodious drinking songs of yesteryear. Crooners, blues and lorch singers will have to find a new outlet for their doubtful talents, for the “hotcha” age will go and “prosit” will make the rafters ring. Composing, too, will be simplified, Dr. Riesenfeld says, for the creation of music always went hand in hand with liquid stimulus.

The body of Coolidge was taken from the family home at 8:30 o’clock to the Con- | gregational Church where it lay _in state until 10:30 o'clock. At that time the simple funeral services, last- ing half an hour, were held land at 11:30 o’cleck the fun- eral auto caravan started for Plymouth. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the private burial services took place. HEADS BOWED Northampton residents stood with bowed heads as the body moved from the home to the church. Hundreds of men and wom- en, and some children, filed through the church to look for the last time on the face of Coolidge as the body lay in state, amid a profusion of flowers. SOLDIER GUARD An armed soldier stood on either side of the bier. The street was thronged with people and there was a steady stream of those from all walks of life, young and |old, who filtered through the church doorway, solemn-fac- ed. Women dabbed at their eyes and some men were Vis- ibly griefstricken. President Hoover and his party arrived from Washington on a special train at 10 o'clock and im- mediately went to the chvrch. The short services were started at once, after Mrs, Coolidge, gowned black and unveiled, accompanied by her son John, was seated. After the benediction Mrs. Coolidge, with a firm step, left the church with her son and the President’s party (Connnuea on Page Two) | REQUESTS . F. .
