y. A" OFM'AINS r? . t I m a Geo. Elle. John Mills and Chas. Dilworth, Repre- senting Sam Kantor, Only Ones There. Because of President Harding's death or the heat. only three men. representing Main street property owners. put in an appearance at the Royal James inn last night for the meeting called by Geo. 1’. Ella to dis- cuss plans for widening .of Main street. Besides Mr. Elle. John Mills of the Norwaik Supply Co.. wes present and Charles H. Dilworth was there to represent Samuel Kantor. Mr. Ella. a man who is always will- ing to co-opernte in any public im- provement. had called the meeting to learn if there was any feasible way to widen the street . without great cost to property owners or to the general public. He visited many of the property owners and they declared the movement was a good one and that they would attend. However. the only'ones to show an interest were John Mills. Samuel Kantor and Charles Dilworih. "Perhaps the heat kept them away." said Mr. Elle smi‘ling'ly. It is to the credit of John Mills to relate that while he was not in rav- or of spending any large sum in the widening he was willing to do what _he could if any plan was offered whereby the work could be pushed along at a small cost. l'nless the property owners become more active soon Main street ‘will remain as it is for many years. "It is a shame that Norwnlk people do not take enough intern in a city improvement to turn out at a get together meeting and discuss the proposition. Even if they are op- posed to the improvement, they should at least show that they are alive. alert and taking the afla'irs of the city to heart by appearing at the meetings." This is the opinion of Robert H. Sodem. a. newcomer to the city. and proprietor of the Corrugated Box Works. which was recently estab- lished here. The opinion was ex- pressed in the lobby of the Royal Jams hotel last night. . St. Paul‘s Church , Rev. Louis B. Howell. rector Tenth Sunday after Trinity. 7:30 a. in.

Ho 4 The farm horse is on the best of terms with the Coolidge; (By Pacific & Atlantic) Mrs. Coolidge (Co'inucd from Page 1.) it was learned they are nursing an ambition to own a Ford. Mrs. Coolidge admitted the accusa- tion with a smile. “i have been 'tnlking it up.‘ " she said. “i should not wonder if some day. as soon .15 we can afford it. We really might own one." . Incidentally, it might be mentioned here that the Coolidgos aren't weal- thy. They aren‘t even w :ll -to—llo. and their desire to "keep all their bills paid up" has not only caused them to forego pretentious living,- but over. to attempt it. Mrs. John l’i. litnderson. a wealthy “'nshington woman. recently offered to present to the Government a palatial house on Sixteenth street for the use of Vice Presidents. but the generosity of the prospective donor was suspended when Mr. Coolidge demand it was impossible to maintain such a resi. d-znce on 812,000 a year. After that the Coolidgcs went on living quietly and economically at the New Willard Lire. Cotlidge is a college woman. She was low at Burlington.

She is. of course. a good 'cook. a woman whose interest is in her hus- band and two growing boys and who has never kept servants has to be: but. it seems. she isn't lucky with he:- biscuits, and her husband slyly teases her about it. Not long‘ 'e'ge..whe:i a newspaper woman called at North- ampton to interview Mrs. Coolidg". the Vice President said to the writer: "Go right ahead and talk to her. She'll be glad to see you and make you feel right at home. Tell her to make you some biscuits." And he added that "somehow or other. for some reason or other Mrs. Coolidge has no luck when it comes to making biscuits." Mrs. Coolidge. despite the fact that she doesn't take an interest in soelal affairs. has been a successful hoatess at such affairs as they‘ve given in the Capital and her friends believe she will be just as successful as the "First Lady of the Land" as she has been as the "Second Lady of the Land."

Aug. 3.—~The trag- cdy of President Harding‘s passing today turned the thoughts of Mrs. Harding's close friends back to a day before the Hardings came. to the “'hite House when. scanning with troubled eyes the days which were to come. the President's \vit‘c proph- eticnlly remarked: “I would have preferred to remain a. Senator's wife. I foresee tragedy.” For it was as the wife of a strug- gling editor that Mrs. Harding .llnd found her supreme happiness. and which likewise had been hers as the helpmate of the Ohio Senator. and she did not wish to inmeril it to be- come mistres of the “’hite House and the First Lady of the Land. VV’ork- ing side by side with him. Mrs. Hard- ing had proved to be perhaps the greatest single factor in the success of Warren G. Harding. first as an ed- itor of “The Marion Star." and later as a leader in Ohio politics. in pur- suit of which he later became United States Senator from his home State svas to lead him to the Presidency. , And all through those exciting days, as the Star struggled upward. it was Mrs. Harding who stood by with a fine seahand abiding faith in its ul- timate success as well as the success of her husband. ' She knew all the thrills and disappointments of the small city editor and publisher. Mrs. Harding was the daughter of Harion's richest man—Amos Kling. fro mwhom she inherited a large amount of common-sense and busi- ness acumen. which Editor- Herding greatly admired and often praised. All the thousand and one details of the publication of a. newspaper, Mrs. Harding made here. thus freeing Ed- i'tor Harding from them so that he could give his time to strictly editorial work. She took charge of the cir— culation department. answered tele- phone calls from disgruntled .sub- scribers when they complained of carrier ser'vice. stepped now and then into the business office to help out. and uplifted to a spirit of industry the town's mischievous boys who came to "The Star' after school after- noons to deliver papers for pocket money. ‘ They tell a story in Marion of one of these youths who rigged up the those days. vim Raiding acted with character. end anally ...- .~Mlls.-llllllllllc, WiFE ANB'PARTNER ‘ BIG FACTOR lN HUSBAND’S succrss Shared Attainments and Disappointments of His Career 4-Her Prophesy of Tragedy in White House Re- called Now'by Friends s lilo chastlscmcni. which. she said, her son had more than earned. When Mr. Harding entered Ohio politics. Mrs. Harding entered into the contests with the same earnest- ness as her husband. constantly giv- ing him the benefit of her counsel and always being a big winner of votes. When Mr. Harding became Senator Mrs. Harding became socially active in the Senatorial set. and. like the. wives of all members of Congress. maintained a siren; influence Over her husband. Mrs. Harding. how- ever. vigorously opposed the employ- ment of this influence where a vote in the. Senate was involved. Always operating on the theory that Mr. Harding was Senator. .and not she. she never once sought to influence his judgment. in any measure of national importance. ‘ , ,After his nomination for the Presi- dency, Mrs. Harding's helpfulness tn- creased with the importance of the honor bestowed upon her husband. At Marion, during the “front porch" campaign. Mrs. Harding was constant- ly active, helpinthe President with his mail and assisting in the welcom-’ ing of friends. many thousands of whom made pilgrimages to Marion to see the candidate. In order to lessen the burden from the President's shoulders during. the campaign days. Mrs. Harding added to her on. but it was done with that same cheerful spirit of the helpfulness that has characterized all the days of their married life. When Mrs. Harding went to the White House in March. 1921. she was responsible for the first official lot of the Harding Administration— 0 op— ening of disguise of the White House grounds so that the American people might have easy access to the home of their President. This one act. prompted by Mrs. Harding'l‘fovo‘ot the American people, was in line with the desires of both the President and his devoted wife—to be just plain toil: whom anybody could meet; . Mrs. Harding continued to share with the President the tasks that fall to-the mécutm.

On all other occasions. whether it he metal business that required Mr. Bardfis presence, or pleasure Jan-ts, Harding has been a member of the party to share with the President the tasks he always centronted of meeting the people and responding to the de- mands that the people make upon their Chief Executive.
