PRESIDENTS HAVE TROUBLES
WITH THEIR BHMB TSB
CoolMge Has New Cook. Third Change
In Last Three Months.
Washington, June 20.—President Cool
idge, like other householders, has been
having trouble with his cooks. i
The secret leaked out through appear
ance on the roster of those who will
accompany Mr. Coolidge to Swainpseott
of the name of Julia Jongbloet as the
President's cook. It developed that
Martha M. Mulvey, as cook extraordi
nary to Presidents sinee Roosevelt, has
retired, and three others, having served
the in the last three months.
Reasons for the changes are guarded
carefully. The White House kitchen is
said to be clean and airy and there
should be no difficulty from that source
in getting cooks to stay.
Mrs. Mulvey made a reputation for a
variety of dishes, depending on the lik
ing of the particular President. Under
Coolidge wheat cakes and sausages have
been the customary offering at the sena
torial breakfast. It is also understood
Mrs. Mulvey was proficient with sa't pork
and .allk gravy, which also pleases Presi
dent Coolidge’s palate.
There is a suggestion that White
House economy, which requires the
weighing out of all foods, may have a
bearing on the situation, and it is also
recalled that Mr. Coolidge had indiges
tion May 23rd.
The new cook, who has been at the
White House about a week, came with
recommendations from persons in New
York.

DROVE TIMID SUITOR
AWAY FROM ALTAR :
Did Not Want a Wife Who Had the ,
Grit to Throw Herself From Building ,

my the -/* .iwvhnnl Press I
Mexico City, June 20.—lues Vargas, a
sixteen-year-old senorita as determined
as she is romantic, recently served an
ultimatum on her parents to the effect
that, unless they gave their consent to
her marriage witli Isidro Covarubias
within ten minutes, she would throw her
self from the roof of the four-story apart
ment building in which the Vargas fam
ily lived. Whereupon she fled upstairs,
locked the door leading to the roof and
poised herself on a cornice overlooking
Neuvo Mexico street.
Ciriaca Vargas, the father, tore his
hair in desperation for a few seconds as
he reflected that his daughter had in
herited the firm character of her mother,
and the latter, he felt sure from past, ex
perience, would never recede from her
stand that Isidro, as a son-in-law, was
impossible. Then lie dashed to the near
est police station, only a block away, to
seek disinterested counsel.
A few hurried sentences explained the
situation to comisario. That official had
an inspiration. Next to the police sta
tion were the firemen. He called out
a hook and ladder company and the fire
laddies, all dressed up in huge helmets
and light blue uniforms, clanged to the
scene of the impending tragedy, unfurl

rived just about nine minutes and fifty
five seconds after Ines had issued her ul
timatum and was about to launch her
self into space. There ensued a lively
gaate of tag' between Ines on the roof
and the firemen, with their net, down in
the street, while a gathering crowd
cheered and Cfriaeo attacked the locked
door with an axe.
Just as the door gave way, Ines
thought she had outwitted the net hold
ers and jumped. By a supreme effort
and overturning a couple of urchins, the
firemen managed to interpose enough of
net between Ines and the pavemeent to
break her fall. But she achieved her
purpose, for the sight of her daughter
whirling through the air destroyed the
last of Mamma Vargas’ opposition. She
did not. however, win Isidro. That youth
faded from the scene after witnessing
his sweetheart’s leap. The papers quoted
him the next day as stating that he did
not think he possessed enough of the cave
man stuff to live happily with such a
woman ns Ines promised to become.

THE NORTH CAROLINA i
COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
Name Changed in 1019.—Plant Is Now
Worth About $3,000,000.
Greensboro, June 20.—The North Car
olina College for Women, formerly the
State Normal and Industrial College, was
established by an act of the genera! as
sembly in 1891. The change in name
was authorized by the 1919 general as
sembly. ,
In 1892 the institution began with
$30,000 donated by the city of Greens
boro and ten acres of land, given by R. i
8. Pullen. H. T. Gray, E. P. Wharton
am] others. The annual appropriation
from the state was SIO,OOO. In addi
tion to the slate appropriation and tui
tion fees, tile school received during the
first few years of its existence about
$3,000 annually from the Peabody fund
and for three years received $2,500 annu- •
ally from the general education board.
It also received about SII,OOO from the
faculty and students and a small amount
from George Fester Peabody, also a li- i
brary from Andrew Carnegie.
The plant is now worth nearly $3,-
000,000. The state appropriates an
nually a large fund for maintenance
and during the past four or five years
has authorized extensive improvements
and additions. The general assembly of
3923 appropriated $1,350,000 for perma
nent improvements at the North Caro
lina College for Women, in addition to ’
a substantial appropriation made by the
general assembly of 3921. while the gen- ‘
oral assembly of 1925 added $700,000 to' :
this.
In addition to its regular work of
training young women to be teachers and >
to take other places of responsibility,
during the winter months,. there is an
annual summer school conducted.
Two-thirds-of all students who enroll
at the North Carolina College for Women
and nine-tenths of the graduates, static- :
tics show, become teachers.
During the first thirty years of its i
existence the school enrolled more than i
12.000 young wAhen ns students. These ;
represented all of the 100 counties of <
North Carolina and .numerous adjoining i
states. Os these, more than 80 per
cent, received their early training in |
rural schools, one-third defrayed their i
own expenses and two-thirds, it is said,
would not have attended any North
Carolina college had it not been for the |:
opportunities offered by this one. |

F AIM AN AGAIN
TESTIFIES TODAY
Says He Preserved Typhoid
Germs in an Ice Box in His
School, and Gave Shepherd-
Three Tubes.
(By the Associated Press)
Chicago. June 20.—The defense in the
m. I). Shepherd trial continued its
case today by further attack on the tes
timony of Miss Isa belie Pope who await
ed with marriage license while million
aire Billy McClintock, foster sou of Shep
herd, died of typhoid fever.
F. B. Squibb, short hand reporter who
reported a portion of Miss Pope’s testi
many before the coroner’s jury, testified
the youug woman had not mentioned
‘ germs’’ or “study of germs.” On the
witness stand against Shepherd she said
the defendant had informed her he had '
studied "tyhpoid and germs.”
■ second defense witness was Walter
Smith, drug clerk, former electrical work
er and graduate of chiropractic from the
National i’niversity of Sciences, a school
conducted by C. C. Faiman, state witness
against Shepherd.
Through him the defense sought to show
that Faiman’s school never housed test
tubes housed with live germs.
Chicago, June 20. —Faiman testified
that from an ice box in bis school where
he had preserved typhoid germs for some
time, he gave Shepherd three test tubes
of them, learned later they were wanted
for tiie murder of Bilie McClintock and
aided the conspiracy by teaching Shep
herd how to use them.
Smith said there was an ice box at
Faiman’s school, but denied it had ever
contained germs in test tubes.
Faiman testified the germs were obtain- ,
ed by him from the laboratory of the
Chicago Health Department by merely
asking an attendant for them, no recqrd
being made of the transaction.

Selling was promoted by relatively '

October selling up to 23.24 and the gen
