PRESIDENT PROUD OF U. . PROGRESS Nation on Upgrade Morally and Socially, He Feels, in Fourth Year in Office. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staff Correspondent of The Star. WHITE PINE CAMP, N. Y., Au- gust 3.—President Coolidge feels that this country is not only prosperous and basically sound in every way, but that the Nation is steadily improving morally and socially. He thinks there is every reason for the people of the United States to feel happy and se- cure, as well as proud. These expressions came from the President’s spokesman today in re- calling that he is entering upon his fourth year as President. In the opinion of the President, the results of the past three years since he became President speak for them- selves In reality there need be no public reminders or the making of noise. However, the President in a happy vein and through his old friend, the spokesman, to recount some of the things that have been accomplished within three years of which he is proud and which he considers the outstanding features of his administration. Basic Confidence Sought. The main_effort during this time has been to create conditions under ch business and industry, by ad- lering to sound practices, could de- velop and thrive. Many details have ibuted to this end, but the es sentlal factor, in the mind of the Pres- ident, is the result as it now is en- joyed by the country. The official spokesman emphatically indicated that the coming years will witness rigid adherence to the principles upon which the Coolidge administration has proceeded thus far. Nor have the economic and mate- rial factors been the only ones to re- cord gains since August 3, 1923, be- cause the President belleves that progress also has been made in educa- tional and moral standards, though these are steps so dependent upon the economic status of the Nation that they couldn’t well go on without ma- terial prosperity. It is true, in the view of Mr. Cool- Idge, that there have been some crimes of violence, but they have not been so numerous nor so widespread as in cor- responding periods after other great wars. The President believes that matters in this direction also are on the mend. Wages Held at High Point. The cutstanding factors during the past three years are the reduction in commodity prices, unaccompanied by a wage reduction, but, on the other hand, actually going forward with some wage increases. While there has not been as much noise over what the administration has done or under- taken as at timés in past, Mr. Coolidge feels that a survey of results justifies the conclusion that the methods adopted have been fairly effective. Three years ago the reparations problem was unsolved, the French still were in the Ruhr and the debt refund- ing, considered by the President as the greatest international financial trans- actions in recorded history, had not been made. The country nominally was “on the outs” with Mexico; taxes were high, there was turmoil and un- rest. In a remarkably short space of time, judging by the standards by which “these things are measured, & vast, scarcely realizable change has been effected. Reparation$ Issue Met. The reparations muddle, thanks to the suggestions of former Secretary went on WEIRD SUPERSTITIONS OF CURES PERSIST IN EDUCATED AMERICA Tying of Pork About Throat, Concoctions of Bugs and Weeds, Painting Them Strong, and Other Practices Cited. iated Press. YORK, August 3.-Medical superstition, almost as old as civiliza. tion itself, still s in America deapite the ad jence, and in some cases constitutes a real menace. Racial superstitions of sons of toll and medical “notions”” of men of leis ure, combined with the middleman’s faith in cults and bottled cures, hold back the health of today, the City Health Commissioner and Physicians of Bellevue Hospital told the Associ- ated Press. “Superstitions with regam to com- municable diseases are a menace to- day,”™ said Dr. Louis I. Harris, health commissioner. ‘It is less picturesque but more dangerous for a parent to prescribe the thumping of the spine of his child, ill with diphtheria, in- stedld of the use of antitoxin, than it THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1926. Babies’ Eyes to Make chestnut in’ rheumatism.” Among the amusing superstitions vecalled by Dr. Harris are the use of the bread and butter poultice for boils, the tying-of a piece of pork about a sore throat, and the many weird Chi- nese mixtures made of bugs, herbs, weeds and small animals. “Babies of Assyrian mothers come in with their eyes heavily ringed with a thick black substance like graphite,” said Dr. J. E. Sutton, Pediatrician of Eellevue. “On inquiry, they tell us that it is a mysterious mineral that is obtainable only in Beirut.

Because of his services with this elevator company Mr. Dougherty is said to have acquired an intimate knowledge of the city and of the local government. Mr. Dougherty has been a lifelong Republican and It is understood his appointment will be formally indorsed by the Republican state committee of the District, which duly accredited Republican organization is recognized officlally, but which made no recom- mendations for the Commissioner ship. Besides the civio and citizens’ or- ganizations of which he is a member, Mr. Dougherty belongs to the Board of Trade, the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, Columbia Country Club, is a member of the board of governors of the University Club and belongs to the Unitarian Church. He attends All Souls’ Unitarian Church | at Sixteenth and Harvard streets. Mr. Dougherty is married and has four children.. He resides at 3713 Jenifer street. Hughes, acting for the administration and to disinterested American partici- pation, was unraveled. The French, following in the wake of that, have left the heart of industrial Germany to function normally, practically all of, the allied debts have been funded and all but the French of the major agree- ments have been ratified; two tax cuts have been made, the national debt has been greatly reduced, economy has held sway and sound principles upon which industrial ‘and agricul- tural progress rest have been adhered to. The great economic questions which hung over the world when Mr. Coolidge became Chief Executive very largely have been solved, but even so, all that has been done has not injured absolutely universal pros- perity within the United States. This is a condition recognized by the President in making a survey of his vear's achievements as the head of the Nation. He feels that the Gov- ernment can't do any more than. to create conditions under which the va- rious interests will have a chance to go ahead. Sees Some Farm Distress. _ The country has recovered from the @eflation period, and while commodity prices are not lower than they were during the slump they are lower than in the war period. The President realizes there are parts of the West where full recovery has not been made, such as the Dakotas and Ne- ‘braska, due to crop failures. The tex- tile industry hasn’t been overly busy for some months past either, but there are signs of recovery. The metal and auto industries are in first-rate condi- tion, and the railroads, according to the advices he receives, are doing rec- ord business. Practically all have re- covered from the war strain, and their large purchasing power in carrying on ahd making extensions to care for the needs of the Nation is a great faghor ftself in the business situation. The important legislative enacts ments of the period, aside from taxes and appropriation measures, in the view of Mr. Coolidge, include the Watson-Parker railroad labor act, the Johnson immigration act, the treaty ratifications, including the decision to echere to the World Cours, and the debt agreement ratifications. The recession in stock market prices which caused the Wall street flurry last Winter and Spring was hezlthy, Mr. Coolidge believes, though the drop in prices largely hay been made up. Their levels, on the whole, ere not so high as last Winter, but that is not a matter which affects the sound business conditions of the country. Trade movements are large and_the output of plants, on the whole, is stupendous. Another_healthy factor is the sta- bility and balance that prevail in busi- ness circles, where there has been a tendency to adhere to sound principles and so far as possible, according to the President’s spokesman, to finance itself from its own resources.

The other causes were gunshot “vounds and asphyxiation, three each: raiflroad accidents, suicides. two each and one cach of g2l Was Notified Yesterday. It was intlmated at White Pine Camp today that Mr. Dougherty was notified yestarday by Secretary Clark that the President had decided to appoint him and that announcement to this effect would be made today. In this communication he was asked it he was in a position to be sworn in without delay and Mr. Dougherty's reply is understood to have been an assent. It was pointed out at the Presi- dent’s office that the latter was anx- ious to have Mr. Fenning’s successor on the job at the District Building by the time Mr. Fenning returned to Washington from his brief vaca- tion. When President Coolidge announced the appointment this morning, it was very evident from the expression on his face that he was happy that this task was over and that he felt that he Jwas making a good selection, dispatches stated. Although the general impression at the Executive Office was that this appointment is good one und that it is going to prove popular, it is known that Mr. Dougherty was by no means the President’s first choice. It was not until a few days ago that he was even considered seriously. This, however, may have been due ED CITY HEAD FENNING’S PLACE to reports received from the Presi- dent’s agents here that Mr. Dougher- ty was at first not in a receptive mood. One of the President's assqclates said today that it was only because of Mr. Dougherty’s intense interest in clvie matters and his pride in the Capital City that he allowed his name to bo considered for the commissioner. ship. Mr. Dougherty is widely known as a mechanical and electrical _engineer. He is a member of tne Washington Society of Engineers and the Wash- ington Institute of Technology. ‘While a delegate to the Federation of Citizens' Associations from the Chevy Chase Citizens' Association he was named a candidate to the Citi- zens' Advisory Council by the Chevy Chase body and was elected to the council at the April election. He was one of the ploneer advocates of the advisory council and served as a mem. ber of the committes which drafted plans for its organization. Probably no appointment to public office the President has made since he has been in the White House has cen him more study and concern than this one. Because of several situations the task of making a selec- tion was made unnecessarily difficult. Several men of the type being sought by the President declined to be con- sidered when they received iIndirect offers in the form of “feclers” from the President. Disliked Congress’ Attitude. These refusals are understood to have been due to a disinclination on the part of these availables to accept a position knowing that they might be subject to personal attacks and pil- loring on the part of certain members of Congress who have promised to continue their dssault upon the Dis- trict Building and those in charge of the administration of the affairs of the local government. Besides this, the President’s position was made more difficult because of his absence from the city, which fact made it necessary for him to conduct his negotiations through agents and not by means of personal interviews. ‘Added to this, the task was made still harder becauuse so'many men who were considered available mate- rial were away from Washington on vacations. Less than a week ago the President frankly admitted his predicament. He said he was finding the job.a hard one as well as an embarrassing one. However, he never lost hope and kept at the task until his efforts were re- warded by the acceptanec of Mr. Dougherty. NEW COLLEAGUES LAUD DOUGHERTY; WORK WELL KNOWN (Continued from First Page.)

Felicitating O. H. Oldroyd, veteran collector of Lincolniana, on the oc- casion of his recent 85th birthday an- niversary, Representative Henry R.

By means of a device known as the signograph it is now possible to make 20 perfect signatures by signing the name once.

AGENTS IN FLORIDA BARRED FROM MAIL tand Companies of Miami and Fulford Named in Fraud Order. B By the Associated Press. The Florida Cities Finance Co., of Miami and Fulford, and the Southern States Realty Corporation, of Miami, and thelr officers and agents were debarred from use of malls today by a fraud order issued by Postmaster General New. They were charged with conducting a scheme for obtain- ing money through the mails by means of false and fradulent pre- tences. The Post Office Department's in- vestigation disclosed that the prime mover in_ the Florida Cities Finance Co., was M. C. Tebbetts. He has been held by the Federal grand jury for us- ing the malls to defraud in the opera- tlon of the Fulford-By-the-Sea scheme and Is now at liberty on bond. Early in 1922 Tebbetts secured an option on 557 acres of land near Ful- ford and organized the Finance Com- pany, capltalized at $1,000,000. Teb- | betts was made president and his wife secretary, Other pleces of acreage were added and the company now claims to own 2,800 acres and to_control in addition 700 acres more, Figures furnished by the company to postal inspectors make it appear that approximately $651,160 in cash and in stock has been paid toward the purchase price of the land and that there is still due on the The company conducted an exten. | sive selling campaign, and according | to figures furnished inspectors 5,085 | lots had been sold to 3,801 individuals up to the middle of February this year.

The total grose lot sales since 1922 amounted to| $10,692,180, and there were cancella- tions on lot sales amounting to 33.!529,310, or about one-third the gross sales. Improvements Overrated. Numerous misrepresentations of fact were made in the advertising and Iit- | erature of the company, the Post Of- | fice Department found. Advertise ments in July, 1925, represented that the development at Fulford-by-the. | Sea was $1,000,000 beyond promises, and that more than $1,000,000 had been expended on sidewalks, roads, | beautification, homes and business | blocks. The evidence produced in the | Post Office Department’s investigation | shows that total expenditures to De- cember 31, 1925, for Improvements ag- gregated $582,764.

Dahle- berg family at their Summer home on a lovely Rainy Lake island she will be more than surprised at the beauti- ful residence she will occupy during her stay. The Chicago millionaire has had 23 carpenters constructing a miniature castle similar to the old castles of Spain. The princess, a cousin of King Alfonso, arrived in New York Friday. After spending some time at the Chicago home of the Dahlebergs she and her score or more of attendants will come to International Falls by speclal train and then be taken to the island in the Dahleberg launch, which is receiving a special refitting. e “Walking Cows"” Profitable. Walking the cow is just parody on a_popular slang expression. It is actu- ally profitable to dairymen. It has been found by the Department of Agriculture that by walking a cow an average of 3 miles a day the but- ter fat content is increased noticeably in her milk supply, although no more milk will be given. It is apparent that, by making the cow walk more, she will eat more and assimilate the food she eats better, thus enriching the butter content of the milk.

PHILADELPHIA, August 3.—The mechanism by which the body keeps warm has received a new sclentific explanation. Dr. Charles E. de M.
