James - R. Strong of New York city, president of the association, (made response and thanked Maj. Bell r his welcome to 'the delegates.! Mr. Strong urged the enlargement of the association and expressed th hope that the word _‘electragists’ would become as well known as the newly coined word “realtor.” Other Addresses in Program.

CHARGES OF WIFE Stanton C. Norman Says Another Man Is.Financing Di- vorce Suit. Stanton C. Norman, wealthy bfoker and clubman, has filed an answer to “ | the amended petition for an absolute ydivorce brought against him .by hi: wife, Adele C. Norman. He denie: the charges of misconduct and also {says It is not true that he parked {his car on upper 16th street in a isecluded‘place and there kissed and hugged another wéman, as alleged by his wife. Mr. Norman says he did not entice another woman to enter his home for immoral pur- poses. Norman asserts his wife is in love ; with another- man, who, he inti-, mates, is_alding her financially- to | secure a divorce. The husband says his wife often threatened to ‘“get another man,” and he declares his belief that she has carried out the alleged threat and. this party is fur- nishing funds for the employment of detectives. Attorney W. Gwynn Gar- diner represents the husband. Blaming the wanderlust for her { marital troubles, Mrs. Anna L. Camp- | { bell has filed a petition for a limited | divorce from Herbert M. Campbell, formerly an overseas soldier. The ! couple were married three days be- | fore the soldier sailed for France, and the wife assets that the roving dis- position has taken hold of him and he has left home sixteen times dur- in their short married lite. The last | time was June 7, since when she has | not heard from him, Mrs. Campbell asserts. Attorneys Richter and Fow- ler appear for the wife.

Thus, in two | terse phrases, the Presilent has writ- ten a pretty comprehensive platform | for himself—“Stability at home. No | adventures abroad.” i Owing to the Coolidge poli vities, the country is not the major, program to which the President is row devoting hlm-’ elf. Upon it he i in fact, con- centrating practically all of his time. | It partially explains why he reso- utely refuses to leave Washington | for speech-making purposedy Gets Leaders’ Views. Mr. Coolidge desires, in the interval | that. wae left to him between his | accesston and the assembling of | Congress, to acquaint himself, at first | hand, with the views of leaders of public opinion. Almost every day his secretaries are sending to promi- | nent men, and sometimes women, in all parts ‘of the country per-onal let- ' ters reading roughly like this: “The President is desirous of familiar- izing himself a possible moment with views and conditions prev- alent throughout the country. To that end he would like to avail himself of conferences with men of vision and ex- perience like yourself. I would be glad to know when you could conveniently come to Washington for that purpose. TUpon hearing from you, a definite ap- pointment will be arranged.” | Probably the number of outstanding citizens of all political complexions, sec- | tions, professions, éreeds and tiews | whom Mr. Coolidge has interviewed since | August 4 runs into hundreds. Ordina- | rily he assigns from five to flfteen min- | utes for conferences at his working desk | with men thus summoned for counsel. | On many_ occasions they 6 have been asked to have luncheon dinner at | the White House, when conversation is | of a more protracted and intimate na- | ture. These hospitalities are practicall; the only form of entertainment the | Coolidges have given since they entered the Executive Mansion.

Silemt About Interviews, Since time immemorial folks who" just “seen the President” have been fair game for the Washington repor- torial fraternity. Now, as a rule, they emerge so thoroughly .impregnated- with Mr. Coolidge’s desire to pre- serve silence that they automatically padlock their own lips, even in talk with their inttmates. Friend and foe alike, nevertheless, agree that the President is playing uncommonly shrewd politics in “keep- ing. the boys guessing.” By the lands are among the richest world. fhoxst e means, not, the neweraver.
