Butler of Massachu- setts is going about the job of be- ing Senator of the United States with the same thoroughness as to detail| that characterized his work as chair- man of the Re- publican national committes in the Coolidge cam- paign. Probably at the end of his legislative career Mr. Butler will be able to show a surplus.

He wanted to. run for the Senate this fall. In fact he was all set to go. Then President Harding died and Cal- vin Coolidge became President. This threw a new light on the eituation. Mr. Coolidge wanted to stay in the White Houss and he also wanted Butler to manage his campaign.

Correspondence of The Star and New York World LONDON, December 10.—With the approach of Christmas the police are working overtime rounding up the customary crop of absconding secre- taries and treasurers of “Santa Claus clubs,” or savings societies, so popu- lar among working class Britishers. There.are hundreds of tnousands of | such “slate clubs” all over Britain, to which subscribers contribute their weekly pence, or sometimes shillings. throughout the year for the purpose of having a lump sum to draw for Christmas—and midsummer-—festivi- ties. The amount of money saved in this manner runs into millions of pounds, but so careless is the average “slate club” membllr that every year numbers of treasurers are “missing” when the time comes to share out, usually a week or 10 days before Christmas, and there is gloom and poverty In many homes which had reckoned on jollification. Organizer s Trusted. Practically every factory, workshop dnd warehouse, many small and stores, have their ar club,” in which the organizer is blind- ly trusted with the savings of the members, usually without the slight- est attempt at control or supervision, and the result is that innumerable treasurers, mnot necessarily willfully dishonest, yleld to temptation. Many of them are allowed to go scot free, i not actually forgiven, by the mem- bers, who decide that It is not worth spending their own time conducting & prosecution for the relatively small sum embezzled, but a big crop is an- nually brought to justice and a pro- portion annually seek refuge in sul- cide. For the next few weelks every paper will dally have its sordid tragedy of “missing ‘slate club' secretary,” but the victims will start contributing to another club around New Year's day in the cheerful hope there wil be something for them next Christma. Some Clubs a Blessing. Some of these clubs are, of course conducted on strictly busin prin ciples and prove a blessing to the im- | nor- saloons provident type of worker who mally spends his wages in th One of the largest of these ls the Tabernacle Street (London) Club, which annually distributes more than £100,000 to poor eakt and north Lon- don subscribers. The treasurer of this institution annually places him- selt under voluntary day of the share-out money from the bank escort. Normally, however, no control over such clubs and car do nothing until the members request official action. The chief of police at ard has just issued his cus and draws the under police tomary fr e it is 1% out the authori- ties can do nothing afterward beyond attempting to effect arrests when a warrant is applied for The first of such warrants w too late, and point ap- plied for in the case of tte treasurer| of a south London bus drivers' club, as early as the end of November, the official being arrested on a honey- moon trip.
