Mr. (Coolidge Ih Quite; Sat in ft ed c< <! By DAVID LAWRENCE <C**yri?M. IMS. It Tli? Paulsmith's, New York. July ? An overnight ride from the hu-| tnldlty of Washington and a Pres- 1 ideut of the fulled States Ih trtui- ' ported to the cool mountain] heights of the Adirondack*. He I comes eagerly, not because the 1 National capital has beeu unpleas ant this summer, for It has been J extraordinarily cool, but he seeks j change and seclusion. Take the trip with Mr. Cool*, idge on paper at least. There Is j no private car. It was economy! that was said to have first prompt ed the elimination of this Prexl- 1 dentlal luxury, but after riding on the train Tuesday plght this cor respondent suspects it was Cool idge foresight. Indeed, the Pennsylvania rail- j road Just furnished the same equipment which It usually has j ob its deluxe trains and because there were 65 people In the Presi dential party, the fares were suffi cient to make up a regular train with some of those new pullmaus, j observation lounge car and a din-i lug car adorned with yellow roses at each table, all due to Captain Charles E. McCullougli. custodian of Presidential trains for the Pennsylvania. "Why should Mr. Coolidge want > a private car? He has all the; privacy and comfort he could ; want. He might have had his. ^meals alone In a private car but Is It worth several thousands of dollars merely to accomplish a solitude that neither he nor Mrs. Coolidge enjoys anyhow? They ike to be with people. And after* .11, the whole train is private for It carries only the Presidential tarty. The cost? About fifty or sixty dollars for railroad and Pullman for each fare. And after dlunor Jack Connolly. who has known the President for ? many years and who now holds forth as the manager of Will Hays' office In Washington, provides n ftiovie for the entertainment of the Presidential party. It Is n com edy picture entitled "Behind the front" ? a burlesque of war pic tures. A screen is attached to the green curtain at the end of the ob servation car with seats grouped along the sides ? a miniature mo vie theater. And the train, rum bles along unable to Interfere with the pautomlne of the film Maybe It's a forerunner of what the Am erican people will demand ou de luxe trains on their trans-continen tal rides of the future. Bo It was not a trip in which there was anything special which the American traveling public cannot have nowadays. Yes. there Is one little concession to Presldentlsl prerogative. Hack in the observation csr sre two white collie dogs. They romp at will and bark back at the passing lo comotives with all the scorn which g Presidential canine has the right to exhibit on such occasions. The President beckons to the correspondent. He Invites a con versation. There Is none of that austerity which sometimes erases' old time Intimacies of official and correspondent. The President Is I looking forward to a real vaca tion. He Is thinking of the sev inteen hundred feet of elevation and hoping It will give him the benefits deserved after several months at sea level. He goes north unworrled by official cares. Things are going well with him. Ilefore he left Washington he told the assembled newspsper men what he thought shout achleve ments of Congrees. He hss not a word of erltlclam for the legisla tors. He feel* they have done a good Job. They have exhibited an Independence of spirit In consider ing legislation on Its merits rath er than from the viewpoint of a subservient body. And looking back on it, the President Is re minded that he did not have to veto a single piece of Importsnt general legislation. In a word Congress worked with him and , passed no bills thst he had to dls- ; approve. And with that record h*? la plainly satisfied. Re Mr Coolidge turns swsyj with characteristic assurance to a summer of rest with Intervsls of official business shesd.

Secretary Job has long had In mind a project to plant two rows of Japanese cherry trees along the (Seurge Washington Highway, a*, a means of beautifying It, and of giving it an individual appeal which would increase Its attrac tlvenoss for tourists. The highway Is a connecting link in the historic road through the Ureal Dismal Swamp from this city to Norf<*k. Today Mr. Job took up the mat- J ter with Dr. II. M. Curran. forester of the Stale Department of Agri culture. who was In the city on other business. Dr. Curran ap proved heartily of the idea, but suggested that it might be better to use three kinds of flowering trees, instead of only one. with al ternate periods of blossoming. In that way. he declared, one or an-i other species would be In flower' through virtually the entire spring Dr. Curran suggested tentative ly that dogwood, crepe myrtle and Japanese cherry trees be planted, alternately and in a double row parallelling the road. Thus. In declared. a magnificent avenue could be created at relatively small cost. Mr. Job Is planning in place the suggestion before the l-'ed?-ral lin-' reau of Forestry. In Washington. In the hope of obtaining (lovern ment.ald on It, as a memorial to the Father of Ills Country, for whom the road Is named, lie also expects to take it up with the chambers of commerce of Norfolk,! Portsmouth .-mil other Tidewater' Virginia communities. The Ororgc Washington High way runs beside the Dismal Swamp Canal, through ihe verv heart of the great morass. from I>epp Creek, Va . to South Mills Two thirds of th#? highway Is in Vir ; glnla. and the other third in North Carolina. Along the Newland Highway.! which connects this city with South Mills, a distance of about 11 , miles. Mr. Job would plant a dou ble row of pecan tree*. These lat- j ter trees necessarily would be | planted in privately owned fields and woodland*. he declarer, ex pressing the opinion that the own era of the land would he more In clined to take care of pecan trees than of a purely ornamental spe cles. since the pecans would have a distinct economic value by rea son of the nuts they produced. , OOTTOM MAItKKT New York.

Valuable Publicity From Two Specials Vuluahle advertising for Eliza !>? Ill City was Rained by the recent Potato l>ay editions of the dally nnd weekly newspapers here, ac cording to Secretary Job, of the Chamber of Commerce. Hotb The Daily Advance and the Indepen dent published specials, and Mr. Job mailed copies of them to Oov ernor McLean, Commissioner of Agriculture Oraham, and other Stale officials, an well an to the heads of various divisions In the Federal Department of Agricul ture. in Washington, nnd to oth ers interested In various parts of the country. "Those editions show that Kllz abeth City has two up-and-coming newspapers, both far above the av erage for a city of Its size." Mr. Job declared today, "and reflect ing credit both upon the newspa pers and the community, since the outsider must Judge a com munity largely by its newspapers." UNI) TWEI.Vrf IMIIHES IN SUBMARINE S-.">l New York, July 8. ? Divers who entered the battered hulk of the I'nlted Stater. Hiibmat iue S 51 to day reported that thero were about 12 bodies inside the ship. One body was seen wedged be hind the machinery in tho engine room and the others were report ed In the torpedo room. If the divers estimate Is correct It means that the bodies of 1 1t sailors were washed from the bulk by the wave while It lay oil the ocean bed off Mock Island aftei being sunk by the steamer City of Rome last September and probably will never lie recovered.
