By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. June 22.—President Coolidge was cited vesterday as an example of the value of parental training by his pastor, Rev. Dr. Jason Noble Plerce, pastor of the First Con- gregational Church of Washington. the President’s church, who preached at the Fifth Avenue Presbyteriun Chureh. Paying a tribute to President Cool- idge’s parents, who, he sald, reared him under the influence of a firm, consistent Christian home, the pastor credited that home intluence rather than heredity for developing the President Into “a man of absolute sincerity, genulne integrity and real genuineness.” The character of the President can- not be accounted for merely by the fact that he was brought up in a free country, attended a liberal college or had the opportunities and possibilities of growth, he said. ‘“These alone are not sufficient reasons. We must go back to the state in which he was to the home in which he was reared, to the influence of his Chris- tain father and of the abiding in- y | fluence of his sainted mother.” Cork, Ireland, plans to enlarge‘its water works, pave more streets aud build 200 new houses. inviting. and enamels; us at— 1334 N.

PAINT AND GLASS THE “FIGHTING PRIEST” MAY LEAVE POST Aftermath of Weehawken Rum Cases Thought Rea- son for His Leaving. By the Associated Press. WEEHAWKEN, N. J., June 22.— Doubt as to whether he would return after his vacation to his parish in Weehawken was expressed by Father Bennett at masses in St. Lawrence Roman Catholic Church. The “Fight- ing Priest” who flgured conspicuously as a State witness at the two trials of Weehawken rum defendants, made direct reference to the rum scandal, the two trials and their aftermath in his address. “Before I go,” he said, ‘I want you, my friends, and those of you who have worked against me, to know that in every action I took from the very beginning of this thing, with the exception of the last two, I had the ecclesiastical backing of my super- fors. Father Bennett intimated that “the last two" referred to were his plea last Sunday for the pravers of his congregation that the 12 rum de- fendants migh tain their liberties and his expression of pleasure at their acquittal Tuesday night. - Montreal, Canada, is considering erection of elevated tramways to re- lieve its traffic congestion. finishes ‘re- Phone M. 1703 Kelly Flexible Cord Ohe best tire made by the is formed by enclosing strips of braided wife loops of the cord fabric.

The bead is built in as an integral part of the carcass, making a stronger and yet less rigid construction which also makes possible the use of a flexible tread. The Flex- ible Cord is sturdier than the former Kelly Cord and at the same time is more pliable. To the car-owner this means a combina- tion of mileage and easy riding that hitherto never has been equalled, either by Kelly Tires, or so far as we know, by any others.
