HYATTSVILLE, Md., December 22.— With a view to rendering more efiicient gervice during the holidays, when, as a le, fires are' more numberous, Chief this | It now appears to be virtually certain that President and Mrs. Coolidge will not return to Washington from Sapelo Island, off the coast of Georgia, where they are going to spend the Christmas holidays, in time to hold the customary New VYear reception at the White House. While President Coolidge has not stated officially that he proposes to abandon this White House tradition by prolonging his stay in the South be- yond January 1, he has given intima- tions to those who have discussed the subject within the past few days that this is exactly what he intends to do. Reports that he would do this have caused members of cabinet and other_high Government officials, who because of their official connection with the administration would have to be on hand to participate in the reception, to seek enlightenment. They have made inquiries at the-White House as to the propriety of their absenting themselves from Washington on New - Year day. ‘This would not be possible if the Pres- ident were to be in Washington and the reception was to be held. Precedents Recalled. According to reliable White House sources assurances have been given that while the President is making no an- nouncements, the chances of his re- turning to the White House before New Year day are very remote. Those mak- ing inquiries have been given to under- stand that they may remove the recep- tion from their calculations and con- sider themselves free to do and go as they please on New Year day. Moreover, ‘intimates of the President have gone to some pains to ‘explain in this connection that if the President did abandon the White House custom, which has been a popular institution in the Capital since the days of John Adams, the first occupant of the White House, He,would nat be establishing a precedent. Reminders were given that former Presidents have done away with thy ngzmom. ‘Woodrow Wilson was mehtioned as being the last one. It was said that none was held during his two terms. It was added, however, in the President’s behalf that Mr. Coolidge is very mindful of the popular interest in these receptions, and that he realizes what they mean, at least to the older citizens of the National Capital, in the way of a tradition. Also, that he has never missed holding a New Year re- ception during the more than five years he has been an occupant of the White House, and that both he and Mrs. Cool- idge have been deeply impressed and have greatly .enjoyed them. May Try Fishing. But President Coolidge wants to have as long a stay in the South as is pos- siblé, and those associated with him 'PRESIDENT UNLIKELY TO RETURN IN TIME TO HOLD RECEPTION { Trip to Sapelo Island May Cause Abandon- New Year Day Program. and who are assisting in making the arrangements for his Sapelo Island trip feel very confident that he will not be back at the White House before two or three days after the first of the year. The plans call for his departure either late Christmas day or early the follow- ing morning. This would give him more than a full week of rest and rec- reation in the balmy climate of that southern section of the east coast. Howard E. Coffin, owner of the island, who will be the Coolidges' host on this occasion, will have several yachts of different sizes and speeds in readiness for the pleasure of his distinguished guests. It is thought quite likely that the President’s avowed interest in fish- ing will tempt him to try his hand at deep-sea fishing, despite the fact that he has never shown any great fondness for rough water. The island is said to be well stocked with deer, pheasants, peacocks and other small game, and if the gunning is not to the President’s liking he may journey to Mr. Coffin's game preserve in Camden County, Ga., about 50 miles south of Sapelo Island. The President and Mrs. Coolidge are known to be looking forward with keen interest to the rest and change that will be theirs in the warm rays of the Georgia sun. been visiting her mother, Mrs. Lemira Goodhue, who has been seriously ill at a hospital in Northampton, Mass., for nearly a year, will return to the White House tomorrow. Upon her return she will supervise the placing of the Christ- mas greens and other decorations about the interior of the White House. Sev- eral Christmas trees have been d livered at the White House in her ab- sence and she no doubt will have these E:tced in the blue room, as was done istmas. Son Not to Come Home. John Coolidge, who is employed in New Haven, Conn,, is not coming home for Christmas, and Christmas morning at the White House promises to be a quiet affair. However, the President and Mrs. ‘Coolidge will exchange gifts as usual and will have their many pres- ents opened and placed in separate piles in the library on the second floor, as has been their custom. It is their in< tentlon to attend services at the First Congregational Church in the morning. Christmas eve they will participate in the exercises incident to the-illumina- tion of the community Christmas tree in the reservation just east of the rear grounds of the White House, and later will participate in the carol singing in front of the White House. Hundreds of Christmas remembrances already have reached the White House, most of these being in the form of greeting cards. Among the presents are three turkeys.

Under the new plan, the four publications—the Uni- versity Hatchet, student weekly; the Ghost, college comic; the Wig, literary magazine, and the Cherry Tree, the annual, will be operated as a unit, so far as business matters are concerned. A system of joint Advertising .and sub- seription rates will be adopted. This business consolidation is ex- pected to strengthen all of the publi- cations by eliminating competition among them, and to contribute to a well rounded publications program, under which el(gl shall work for the good of all. Business managers of the publi- cations will work in close co-operation, with the general business manager of publications acting as facilitating agent. The publications council, which voted this important step, is composed of three representatives from each of the publications; the chairman of the board, the business manager and one other representative elected by the board. Representatives of the Uni- versity Hatchet on the publications council are: Herbert Angel, chairman; Frank Kreglow, business manager, and Alice Graham; of the Ghost, William Brawner, chairman; Willlam Dove Thompson, business manager, and Emily Pilkinton; of the Colonial Wig, Wanda Webb, chairman; James Wes- cott, business manager, and Miriam De Hass; of the Cherry Tree, Elbert.
