COOLIDGE FIGURES - IN COMING BATTLE Hoover Has Strong Baicking‘ From President’s Friends in Fighting Lowden. BY WILLIAM HARD. Lven if Calvin Coclidge is, by his own action, scratched from the presi- dential race, the first heat in tha Re- publican combat for the presidential nomination is going to be an outright contest of strength between: Coolidge forces and anti-Coolidge forces. The horses in that heat will be Herbert | Yioover and Frank O. Lowden. Till the winner of it is proclaimed, the other runnets in the 1928 Republican electoral classic will wear their ots. . his prospect took on the shape al- most of certainty yesterday, as specu- Jation regarding the consequences of {Calvin Coolidge’s announcement of last Tuesday was followed by actual inquiry. : The Lowden support not onl effort will have the of the bulk of Mr. | Coolidge enemies in the Mississippi v Northwest, but the support also of the Eastern mili- tant anti-Coolidge element, illus- trated by George Henry Payne, Republican tax commissioner of the city of New York, and organizer and promoter of the Anti-Third-Term League. The Hoover movemenyt will be supported and managed by such intimate and loyal friends of Mr, Coolidge as_ex-Senator Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin. Hoover Friends Regular. Mr. Hoover's political friends are Among them conspicu- ously, for example. is Claudius Hart Huston of Tennes man of nu- merous busin who in 1920 took a prominent part in mov- inz Tennessce to the north of the Mason and Dixon line by carrying it for the Republican national Harding- Coolidge ticket, and who subsequent- Jy was Assistant Secretary of Com- merce in the Harding-Coolidge ad- ministration. Many such “regulars” have noted with_anxie the intrepid activity of Mr. Lowden in carrying the banner of revolt outside his _ Northwestern prairie citadel into Montana, into Oregon, into Washington, into Arkan- sas, into Oklahoma, into New York. They are for Mr. Coolidge as well as for Mr. Hoover, and they realize that /the Lowden delegates in the Republi- can national convention of 192§, if dos and deadlock should develop in it, will never turn to Mr. Coolidge to revise his 12-word funeral oration over himself and to resume his leadership, break the deadlock and ‘re- unite the party.” Thus minded, they look about for an immediate active candidate who will stem the Lowden anti-Coolidge strength. Hold Several Unavailable. They do not see him in Mr. Dawes. Mr. Dawes has identified himself with the Lowden sort of farm-relief pro- gram and he lies behind the Lowden bulwarks whence, if Mr. Lowden is picked off by the enemy, he will lead a forlorn or triumphant anti-Coolidge sortie. & They do not see him in Mr. Long- worth. Mr. Longowrth has always been highly incisposed to run races for a wreath of dusty laurel. He be- came Republican floor leader and then ' Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives through smiling while his colleagues hastened to pin dust- Jess and unfatigued roses upon him. He will never run toward the White House, or walk. Nor is Mr. Hughes any ‘more avail- able for present ‘regular” needs. Planted on the firm rock of his law \practice in New York and recouping himself now for years of relative pov- lerty in the public service, he looks at jthe storms of politics and is deter- 'mined that if they ever engulf him |again they will have to do it to him not as a swimmer, but as a piece of ireluctant wreckage left on the White House porch by a flood beyond Noah's ‘or_Hoover's In these circumstances Mr. Hoover, possessed of relative youth, possessed jof a sufficient fortune, endowed with restless energy, carrying the colors of Anblemished loyalty to the Coolidge policies and to Mr. Coolidge, is the only instant hope against the Lowden and his friends are “rarin’ Just as soon as diplomatic ies are accomplished, there is no doubt that they will. This dges not mean that there is any conspiracy between Mr. Hoover and Mr. Coolidge for joint control of 1he next Republican convention. Mr. Hoover's backers regard Mr, Coolidge 2s being perfectly” sincere in his pro- claimed intention mot to run again. They nevertheless refuse to surrender the chance of having the power to *#draft” Mr. Coolidge in 1928; and the Joover delegates in the Republican 1928 convention, if a deadlock and a and an impending party defeat become visible, will be Coolidge delega Great Transformation. Thus, by one of the most astonish ing’ transformations in the history of politics, Mr, Hoo: who in 1920 did mnot know which party he would head toward, is mow'a Republican of Re- publicans and a regular of regulars. It has been a transformation very gradual bu: now thoroughly complete. Once thought to be a weak-spirited “expatriate” and “internationalist,” Mr. Hoover has turned out to be one of the most resolute members of the American World War Debt Funding Commission in demanding that our European ex-allies pay at least a reasonable proportion of their debt to us, Once thought to be getting along with Hoover now has learned to he able 10 persuade the politiclans in the Senate and in the House of Repre- sentatives to enact every last one of the legislative measures proposed by him as Secretary of Commerce. The actual operating of political machinery has turned this “mugwumy” into a party man—and into a Coolidge man. When Mr. Coolidge announced he would not make him Secretary of State, Mr. Hoover's friends in private life throughout the country gave him & hailstorm of telegrams demanding that he resign. He did not resign from the Coolidge cabinet then: and he is not.going to resign from the potential Coolidge el ranks of next year. What we are about to see. before we see anything else in Republican presi- dential politics, is a duel between Mr. Lowden, striving to break the whole Coolidge strength forever, and Mr. Hoover, striving in the course of his own candidacy to conserve the Cool- rength intact for possible future use.

This new auxiliary, with Mrs. Faw- cett as its head, and affiliated with Potomac Post, plans to carry out an intensive line of work during the coming Fall and Winter with the fol- lowing committees appointed: Recruit- ing, investigating, relief, good and wel- fare and social. Mrs. Fawcett is actively engaged in organization work. During the World War she gave her time to social serv- ice volunteer work, arranging .outings and parties and preparing dinners for the =oldiers in the different hospitals.

Rrandon recently left the ecity. In line with a request from department headquarters, Willam J. Harrington, post quartermaster, was appointed as representative of this post to the de- partment transient relief committee. A special recruiting committee has been appointed by Comdr.Guillermain to make an effort to double the post membership by the last day of 1927. This committee will organize teams among the members of the post. The team securing the least number of recruits by that date will have to pre- pare and serve a buffet lunch toy the members of the highest teams. Everything is in readiness for the departure of the front line delega- tion to the National Encampment at Providence, R. 1., September 3.

Cootie Ernest Wiskstrand, assisted by the Flying Cooties Oliver and Inken- bill, had charge of the entertainment. Following the custom for former years, it is expected that the members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars who will attend the national encampment and who have not as yet affiliated with this fun-making outfit will do so at the two remaining meetings of the Cooties before entraining for Provi- dences The District of Columbia, with its corps of former professional enter- tainers, has been espgcially active at the encampments, Teports have been received from William Jennings, supreme aide-de- camp of Mafyland, that when the spe- clal train from this city reaches Baiti- more, Cooties from Perryville, Cum- berland, Annapolis and Baltimore will serenade the members of T.

The forget-me-not campaign of the Disabled American Veterans in this city will be launched October 15. At a special meeting of the execu- tive committee of the District of Co- lumbia Department last week this day was selected for the annual appeal for financial support for work among the war's disabled of Washington. Capt. Fred Kochli, state commander, was in- structed to immediately appoint a number of committees that will handle the flowers to be sold that day, to en- list woman sellers and to obtain in- dorsements that have always been available for the observance in the [past. Headquarters will be in the Munsey Building and each committee will be compelled to file weekly re- ports on the progress of the work as- signed to each group. Comdr. Kochli, Past Comdr. George Phillips and Adjt. George Tilghman will constitute the ways and means committee having general supervision over all plans. Notice has been sent to every one of the 500 members of the organiza- tion here of the necessity of success in the coming drive, due to the fact that upon returns from the campaign will depend the future of the lalson service in this city. For five years the major part of the proceeds of the Forget-me-not day has gono to the maintenance of a laison officer of the Disabled American Vet- crans in special quarters set aside for him at the regional office of the Veter- i au. Fully recognized under the Federal law, this man acts as free attorney for veterans, their wives and children in the preparation and pres- entation of claims for hospitalization, compensation, insurance and all other benefits of the bureau to which dis- abled former service men and their dependents are entitled. In addition, i its each of the four Government hospitals of the city, Mount Alto, Walter Reed, Navy and St. Elizabeth's, where veterans are patient This drive of the Disabled American Veterans here for funds to support the liaison service, that has brought r lief to hundreds of destitute veteran: has always been indorsed hy the Pres dent, the director of the Veterans’ Bu- reau, the District Commissioners and various patriotic societies that are fa- miliar with the worls of the organized disabled among their comrades. During his visit here last week, for the first time since his election at the recent convention at El Pas8, Natlonal Comdr. Willilam E. Tate of the Dis- abled American Veterans held a series of conferences with Director Frank T, Hines and all the assistant directors of the Veterans’ Bureau on different problems concerning the relief of the disabled. Comdr. Tate said he found the direc- tor in agreement that every possible effort should be made to speed comple- tion of the hospital-construction pro- gram, particularly as it concerned pro- viding facilities for mental and ner- vous cases. Comdr. Tate explained that, based upon long and personal experience in studying claims, he felt the Veterans’ Bureau has not been making adequate awards to men suffering from wounds. While he thinks that other classes of the disabled are fully entitled to what they are receiving, he went strong on record in favor of a revision of the compensation table so far as it con cerns the men who actually fell on the battle line. Acting upon the of the Disabled American Veteran: leader, Gen. Hines has instructed committee to make whole section of ‘the rating schedule covering the battle casualties who are now beneficiaries of the bureau. Comdr. Tate went from here to New York to visit the Disabled American Veterans' officials and inspect the hos- pitals in that section. His visit here was ended by a dinner at the Army Club, which was attended by all department and chapter officlals of the District, and which was pre- sided over by State Comdr. Kochli. recommendation a Under a concession granted by rall- roads covering all parts of the United States except the New England terri- tory, and which became effective July 1, any man or woman hospitalized in a Veterans' Bureau hospital and who leaves on officlal furlough is entitled to a half-rate fare for traveling. How- ever, this does not include any institu- tion outside of the bureau hospitals in which a veteran may be receiving treatment. To overcome the discrimination against veterans who are patients at Walter Reed, St. Elizabeth's and Navy Hospita's and similar institutions in any part of the country outside of the bureau system, the Disabled American Veterans are backing a movement to have the reduction cover all bureay beneficiaries regardless of where they he_patients. . In case the railroads do not volun- tarily make this change in the tariff rates, the Disabled American Veterans intend to initiate legislation at the coming session of Congress to over- come the objections that have already been recelved from Walter Reed and other station Comdr. Tate announced he would attend the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at Provi- dence next month, but would not make_ the trip to Paris for the Ameri- can Legion meeting. However, he will designate a ranking Disabled American Veterans official to carry the greetings of the disabled to the Paris convention, American Legion. The Victory Post, No. 4, Army Kitchen, to be composed of members of the American Legion Post of that name, will be the only club of this character among the veterans of this city. Members of the post will attend the next meeting Tuesday, when the club will be formally organized. Of- |cers for the club will be elected and installed. It is expected that after the installa- tion of the officers the K. P. will ap- point a judge, prosecuting attorney and one.or two defnding lawyers, ail {of whom will be given suitable club names, inasmuch as next to the initia- tion, the mock court-martials will be the feature of the meetings. | . The ninth annual convention of the | American Leglon will be held in Paris, France, beginning September 19 and jending September 24. The business s2ssions of the convention will be held iin the Palace Trocadero, Headquar- {ters of Forty and Eight, the play and | honor society of the Leglon, will be in the Palais d’Orsay.

C. AUGUST 7, 1927—PART 1. GIRL, AS OFFICIAL “SWEET TOOTH™ OF NATION, HAS TASK OF EATING SAMPLES OF ALL CANDY Miss Catharine R. Canbinc.' R Commerce Dept. Clerk, Tests All Exports. Tries Out Formulae Before American Products Are Placed on Market. A pretty Washington maid with tempting biushes and freckles holds the unique position of official “sweet tooth” of America. Miss Catharine R. Carabine, a clerk in the effice of the contectionary marketing specialist of the Depart- ment of Commerce, ts paid for eating candy. When the gallant country youth in Maine or lowa bashfully hands his best girl a sentimentally decorated box of chocolates it is prob- able that particular type of candy bas | met with Miss Carabine’s unqualified approval. She is the standard girl candy eater. Her finely cultivated sense of gusta- torial values in sweets is depended upon not only to determine what sort of chocolates the American damsel wants her admirers to buy for her, but what sort will appeal to the slant-eyed maid of Nippon, the fur- hooded Lapland beauty or the grass- skirted charmer of the southern seas. Tor girls are girls, the world over. Thelr tastes in candy are pretty much the same, and they all are eating the American-made product these days. Of course, there are differences—and it is for Miss Carabine to detect these differences and pass them through the sieve of youthful feminine psychology. The French girl, for example, wants her candy sweet—so sweet that a few pieces might give her American sister a pain in the “tummy.” Then there are peculiar tangs and flavors which appeal to the Chinese girl, and still othe which win the favor of the dark-skinned debutante of the African jungle. Tastes All Samples. Candy tasting does not constitute all—nor indeed the chief part—of Miss K 's position, But when Amer: ican manufacturers send in samples of their products she puts them to the Compared to her Is don't eat these formulae worked rded scientists in com- ries. They are inter- ested only in the finished product. In this respect she fills a_ver: need in the organization of a $1,000.- 000,000 American industry which is striving to become even greater. Miss Carabine admits that she is able to speak authoritatively only with respect to the tastes of girls of courting age. She has only indistinct memories of the tastes of very small girls with pennies to spend. And she entrancing | important | | | MISS CATHERINE R. CARABI is still more at a loss to estimate the | gustatorial psychology of the small boy—the bare-footed little fellow with ragged pants whose face is smeared with molasses and sugar. Some days Uncle Sam may have a job for such a small boy—doing noth- ing but eating candy. . The office of the candy marketing specialist is striving to develop and hold foreign markets for the Ameri- can manufacturer and is preaching a doctrine not only of consistent quality but of accurately estimating the wants of various peoples. . Fashions in candy fluctuate rapidly. The market is af- fected by numerous factors, many of which do not appear on the surface. Prohibition, as is well known, in- creased the demand for candy among drinkers who required something sweet to replace the stimulation for- merly supplied by alcohol. Candy Market Growing. But, allinall, the candy market is growing, both in the United States and d." American sweets are popular ywhere. The naked urchin of anganyika may be found sucking on an_American lollypop and the bolshe- cutioner in Etkatarinslav may seen slipping an American bon-bon through his whiskers to steady his nerves. ‘The market has developed, however, without much scientific di- vection. A national survey now is under way to determine just who buys American candy, just what kinds they buy and what sort of assistance is nreeded from Government agencies. Questionnaires are being forwarded to all American candy manufacturers. Frequently manufacturers write to the Department of Commerce asking assistance in placing their product on the toreign market. They are re- quested to send specimens. These are scientifically mined to make sure that they are up to a high standard. Then Miss Carabine es them to make sure that, re; of their chemical quality, they taste well. Then commercial attaches are requested to forward information as to possible markets and to find reliable native distributors for the American pro- ducts. The Department of Commerce, once it is satistied that the quality is high enough to do credit to Americ goods, stays with the manufacturer until his market is stabilized. Great Britain Best Market. The best foreign market for Amer- ndies is Great Britain, which ear hought mnearly 5,000,000 pounds. The little Territory of Porto Rico comes next. - The Porto Ricans Lought more than 3,000,000 pounds last year. Latin Americans scem to he great lovers of sweets and they depend on the United States for most of their imported supply. Last year Venezuela alone purchased 739,891 pounds and Panama was a close Sec- ond with slightly more than 700,000 pounds. China's purchases for 1926 were nearly 0,000 pounds. The candy market in the Far East is de- veloping very rapidly. And for all this enormous amount of sweets the guarantee of gustatorial excellence comes from Miss Carabine. She admits that she enjoys the job— but she doesn’t patronize the local candy stores after hours. laying of the corner stone of a great memorial at Chateau Thierry.
