NEW HAVEN, Conn., October 19.— The famed “Coolidge economy” is being practiced in the household of the most talked-of bride and groom in the coun- try—Mr. and Mrs. John Coolidge, who, having completed their honeymoon, have settled down to the day-to-day business of keeping house here. Although the daughter of the gover- nor of Connecticut admits she knows little about cooking, grocery buying, budgets and other details of homemak- ing, her first week's activities, marked by quantity buying and bargain hunt- ing, indicate that the economy made famous by the former President of the United States has been accepted by his son and daughtér-in-law. Buys Supplies for Week. ‘The bargains of the New Haven chain stores attracted Mrs. Coolidge on her trip to stock her kitchen. Like many other * New Haven housewives, Mrs. Coolidge strolled from counter to coun- ter picking out the specials and taking pro- visions were purchased in quantities ‘The Coolidge 'kitchen in the four- room ment here is a model of modern efficiency.

Daughter-in-Law of Former President THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, OC’i‘OBER 20, 1929—PART ONR AND BRIDE COOLIDGE. Buying Foodstuffs Mrs. Coolidge is firm in her belief that she and her husband should live on what they earn, but she has not yet had the opportunity to find out just how much it is going to cost to operate their household, and therefore she does not :sel capable of budgeting their expendi- ures. S Mrs. Coolidge is her own housekeeper, cook and mald, and in addition she drives her husband to and from his office four times a day. Which is a good-sized order for a young woman who until a few days ago never had done any housework. “Yes, I am determined to do all of my own work,” Mrs. Coolidge asserted smil- ingly. “It really would be silly to hire & servant to help take care of four Tooms. “And John helps me, you see. He can even cook a little—in fact, knows almost as much about it as I do—and he doesn't in the least mind rolling up his sleeves after dinner and helping me with the dishes. He also assists some with the other work, so we get along fine.” *Slarts All Over Again.” After washing the breakfast dishes, settling the -kitchen in order, making. the beds and dusting, Mrs. Coolitige be- gins preparations for lunch and then | drives to the office for her husband.

Every mail brings stacks of letters, some from people I have never seen, but who are | lkln: enough to wish John and me good | luck.” A glance around the apartment in- dicated that Mrs. Coolidge has found time to do a great deal of work, despite her other activities. The rooms have what New Englanders like to call a omey atmosphere. The apartment is richly and taste- fully furnished and decorated. The color scheme of the living room is rose and blue.

BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT. President Hoover's speech at Cincin- nati this week celebrating the comple- tion of the 40-year task of canalization of the Ohlo River for a 9-foot depth the year round is awaited by river in- terests in the hope he may see a fu- ture traffic justifying the expenditure | of about $150,000,000 on the river and its main tributaries, including the ‘Tennessee and Cumberland. Reports received here from the are: involved indicate that, except for the | ! Pittsburgh - West Virginia - Cincinnat! district, traffic has either declined, or has not made gains commensurate with the hopes of river intere: the following specific “bad spof ‘That the Cumberland River, 687 miles long and on which approximately $10,- 000,000 has been spent in providing locks, dams and other improvements, has only one small steamboat operating below Nashville to the point where the Cumberland empties into the Ohio River, a distance of 192 miles. No Through Traffic. For the distance of navigable water above Nashville, about 331 miles, con- | stantly diminishing _traffic with “no through traffic length of the river. That on the Tennessee River from Florence, Ala., to the point where it empties ‘into the Ohio River, at Pa- reported, the entire ducah, Ky., not more than two steam- | boats are reported running. Expendi- tures on this river for its full length of 639 miles $20,000,000. ‘That on the Ohio River from Louis- ville southwestward to where it empties into the Mississippi River at Cairo, IIl., there are sald to be no steamboats operating through service, and . none operating between Evansville and Pa- ducah, or between Paducah and Cairo. The canalization cost for the Ohio River itself is estimated at about $120,000,000. ‘The foregoing refers to steamboats of the regular type which carry freight and passengers. Barge lines are re- ported operating irregularly in the lower Ohio and occasionally or not at all in the tributaries mentioned. There is some tow-boat service, but this is re- ported dwindling on the lower Ohio and its tributaries. Mines Aid Navigation. In the Pittsburgh-West Cincinnati area, where coal and iron mines are clustered thickly, traffic has shown a gain and accounts for nearly half of the tonnage on the entire Ohio River. This is local, however. Passenger business, excluding ferry- ing of a local nature, has fallen off on all rivers to a small fraction of its one- time proportions. The general position of traffic on all inland waterways is said to be the same as in the Ohlo River Valley and its tributaries, with some local bright spots remaining. In view of these reports the attitude President Hoover will set forth this week will be especially awaited for what future he will prophecy for the water- ways as a whole. He will be able to cite the traffic increases locally. The development of barge lines for heavy commodities, particularly for farm products, has been predicted already by the President. This may prove to be the fulfillment of the hopes held for two generations that the steadily diminishing traffic on the rivers, con- | sidered as' whole, would be halted and an upturn take place. f Operation Goes On. . It is noted that the locks and dams on the rivers must be operated whether no boats running, a few, or many, and this with the repair and maintenance item requires several mil- lions of dollars annually of Federal expenditure. The reasons for the slump of steam- boat traffic are vai . The auto- mobile and good roads are credited with furnishing recently the most damaging competition. Towns along the rivers once only reached easlly by boat now can be reached on hard-surface roads | by trucks and busses, and at lower transportation costs than either boats or railroads can meet. On the Tennessee River it is reported that large cotton shipments which once went by boat now go by truck and trailers to the markets. Passenger bus- iness has left the boats for the speedier automobile and bus. The cutting out of most of the timber on the rivers had d boats handling it. Many bri motor being bullt over ti estimated at around | Virginia- | :l.cmwa the truck and bus competi- jon. Labor costs, have mounted for the steamboats. e old days when rousia- bouts were plentiful at low wages have gone. Now steamboats must compete for Jabor with higher-paying industries, the roustabouts will not work as long hours, they must be trbated better, and in other respects the cost of this item of operation has risen. These are some of the pessimistic | phases. With the guarantee of all-year- |round navigation it is considered pos- sible that private capital will be at- tracted to water transportation, espe- cially for bulk commodities such as coal, coke, iron ore, sand, gravel, stone, lumber, oil and farm products, includ- ing grain. Development of the rail-river ter- minal plan is another hopeful aspect.| Shipments already have come up from | the Gulf of Mexico by transference from | ship to barge of bananas, sugar and | other bulk commodities. Not on Regular Basis. This is not a regular or large busi- | | ness as yet. The Mississippi River in | Summer still gets so_low that barge | lines suspend. ~ One of the lines from | St. Louis to New Orleans had to suspend | s last Summer because of low water in the Mississippi. The issue here presented has nothing to do with the flood control program, n | Which must be undertaken without re- | gard to transportation, to save the country from periodic floods that cause loss of life and property. ‘Along the rivers there has been a strong demand for canalization, re- flected in Congress by a large bloc. The | canalization of the Ohio and its main tributaries virtually has been achieved. What is looked for now is a use of the rivers, on their entire lengths, that will meet the predictions upon which the large appropriations were made. PLAN FOR CHILDREN'S SANITARIUM IS TOPIC Monday Evening Club to Hear of Project Now Under ‘Way. Plans for a sanatarium here for tu- bercular children will be the subject of talks by Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, Maj. L. E. Atkins, Dr. Willlam C. Fowler ‘and Dr. Joseph Winthrop Peabody before the Monday Evening Club at the Y. W. C. A., Seventeenth and K streets tomorrow night, at 8 |o’clock. Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, chair- man of the program committee will preside. Dr. Prank W. Ballou is presi- dent of the club. Congress has passed a bill authoriz- ing the establishsment of such a hos- pital and has authorized expenditure of $500,000 for this purpose, the bill being sponsored jointly by Senator Capper, who is chairman of the Senate District committee, and Representative Gibson of Vermont of the House Dis- trict committee. Funds for the proj- ect, however, have not yet been made avallable. ‘Tomorrow night's program has for its object acquainting the Monday Evening Club with the status of the movement. The speakers in addition to Senator Capper, who introduced the bill in the Senate, are all members of the special committee which worked for the passage of the bill and all are au- thorities on District needs, Maj. Atkins being Assistant Engineer Commis- sioner of the District; Dr. Fowler, the District Health Officer, and Dr. Pea- body, the superintendent of the Tuber- culosis Hospital. The District has appointed a commit- tee headed by Maj. Atkins to prepare plans and specifications for a sana- tarfum and to decide upon a suitable location. Discussion from the floor will fol- low the talks of the regular speakers. |CITY CLUB TO PRESENT MINSTREL PRODUCTION Jack Mullane Rehearsing Cast for Show to Be Given Thurs- day Night.

A large attendance CANAL PLAN HELD OF GREAT IMPORT St. Lawrence Development Seen as International in Traffic Aspect. This is the first of two articles pre- senting _an internationai viewpoint on the proposed great waterway which would enable ocean liners to_ply between Chicago_and Europe by the St. Lawrence route. R. kin, who prepared this study of the situation, is a London bar- Tister, widely recognized as an expert on Anglo-American and British inter-im- perial relations, particuiarly where these affect questions of commercial tranaport, BY R. C. HAWKIN. Special Dispatch to The Star. LONDON, October 19 (N.AN.A.).— President Hoover has for some years been urging a great waterway, large enough to enable ocean liners to reach Chicago from Europe by the St. Law- rence route. This is a far more daring project than the Panama Canal, be- cause it includes the extraction of & vast store of electric power for local industrial purposes. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and Toronto would become great ports, able to admit to their harbors 88 per cent of all ocean-going vessels which now call at North Amreican seaports. The economic relations and transport trade between Great Britain and the United States will be profoundly modi- fied if this enterprise is sanctioned, and N0 one can foresee or dares to say what the effects will be. The cost of construction will be, to some extent, met by the sale of 5,000,000 horsepower, which will be tumbling over the necessary dams, and, while the pessimists wonder who will buy the power, the optimists reply that America already uses 48,000,000 horse- power of electric power, so that the extra 5,000,000 horsepower should not be difficult to absorb. British Assistance. 1 want to show that President Hoover cannot complete this great work with- out the help of England and that it will be wise policy for England to help. Some confusion arose in 1926, in ‘Washington and elsewhere, regardin that exceedlnsly nebulous constitution: doctrine called “dominion status.” This status was accorded to the various com- ponent parts of the British common- wealth of nations during and after the war, and the definition of the imperial conference of 1917 gave Canada com- plete control over domestic matters, while reserving for imperial considera- tion matters of common imperial con- cern. In 1927 Mr. Hoover spoke at New Haven as Secretary of Commerce, and in that speech treated the St. Lawrence waterway as a matter domestic to the North American Continent, but the treaties of 1854 and 1871, which regu- lated navigation rights on the St. Law- rence, were between Great Britain and the United States, and the 1871 treaty terminated the Alabama controversy, so this is obviously not merely domestic, but a question of ‘“common imperial concern.” The commercial navigation rlyhu ac- crued to Canada by virtue of its con- nection with Great Britain, and there are many commercial rights belonging to British subjects generally which Canada could not alter—even if she de- sired to do so, which is unlikely. ‘This point is not only important far the British Isles: it concerns Newfound- land and the West Indies as well. Canada’s Interest. The reason why England leaves Can- ada to negotiate direct with the United States on this matter is because Can- ada is the local partner of the British commonwealth of nations in the North American Continent. She certainly negotiates for herself first, for she has the major interest in the business, but she also is a member of the partner- ‘ship which will consider and ratify her ['work. This position ought not to hinder, but to help the project, for England is pre- eminently a shipping country, and an enterprise which will improve the pros- pects of sea commerce cannot fail to attract attention at Westminster. England is told that, by means of this project, the farmers of the United States will be able to effect a saving of 8 cents a bushel in transporting their grain to England for European con- sumption. As England, regarding grain, is a free trade country, we assume that the British workman will be able to buy his bread somewhat cheaper as a re- sult of this shipwa; That is one up fl'fl :he scheme from the British point of v England 1. also told that the New England States d afortiori, Canada will be able to manufacture goods in competition with Europe, because they will have a great reservoir of cheap electrical power for industrial u: - LEETH BROTHERS & DUNLOP Decrease Tire Prices in Face of Advancing Market HE demand for Dunlop Tires since our price revision proves that the public prefers tires with-a NATIONAL REPUTATION FOR QUALITY rather than those made without the manufacturers name FOR mail order houses and chain stores.

This sounds like a reason why should oppose the scheme, manufacturers suffer. The point Yequires serious considera- tion, but I am convinced it is unsound, provided England plays M part in the business. As is, Wwe must remember that: (a) England could send her coal to ‘Toronto and Chicago at a price to com- pete favorably with local-coal, if onmly it could be landed direct from Cardiff without transshipment. (b) Half the amount spent will rep- resent the wages of those who dig t! canal, and this is surely an opening for the British working . It is one thing to send over miners to do farm work and quite another to send them to do their own kind of work on a definite job which would last three years. They would thereafter remain settled in a country which should become very l)rofiperou.! as the result of their own abor. In this way the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway by British work- men carried prosperity to Canas point which seems recently to h o8- caped attention of Canadian authori- ties when striking the names of 20,000 British subscribers off the stock reg- ister. England lest our Financial Problem. The real problem is finance. Who will pay for this mighty enterprise? Mr. Hoover's financial proposal was that the United States and Canada should constitute an international board, with authority to issue water- way bonds, guaranteed jointly by the United States and Canada. is would obvidusly place the whole prospect under the control of American financiers. and experience elsewhere indicates that under those mndditlons Etlnldl ‘would lay a very secondary part. ¢ ‘l'yhe nlmy'mflve plan would be to rec- ognize frankly that not only Canada. but Great Britain is deeply interested in the scheme. England and Canada, acting together, need not ask assistance from New York bankers. They can find 50 per cent of the money required, so the project will be on a 50-50 basis. England should stipulate that the electrical goods supplied and the work- manship of the Anglo-Canadian molety shall be British and that the interests of British and Canadian workers be not overlooked when freights are being fixed by the Anglo-American waterway authority. Quebec’s Claims. Part of the river is entirely in the Province of Quebec, and mucn inge- nuity will be required to satisfy King's French Canadian subjects on this matter, because they claim the right to develop electric power from the St. Lawrence for use in their own province, This is & matter which Great Britain will have to handle with care, because the relations between the Province of Quebec and the Dominion of Canada are regulated by the British constitu- tion granted to Canada in 1867, but there are numerous reasons why Eng- land is well placed to induce Quebec to accept President Hoover’s m’oPmtl. y North American News- (Copyright, 1929, by paper Alliance.) !
