New York, July I—The cotton omr

private advices of showers in Texas,
some of which fell in the drouthy sec
tion. The showers, however, were lijjht
and. according to some private advices,
if followed by dry hot weather are more
likely to do harm than good. There has

position either side with the report, due
tomorrow, and a holiday over the week

judging by the action of the market, the

Washington—With the Coolidges out'
qf the way, the White House is under
going its annual overhauling, to keep the
weather out when it turns cold enough
again so that Ha occupants ueed a little
shelter from the elements. Its chron
ically under repairs, but usually it’s dur
ing vacation that they’re undertaken on
a grand scale. The roof leaks, for one
thing, and if neglected much longer would
have let rain run through like a sieve.
The first floor rooms, to which the pub
lic is more or less admitted, are in such
shape that visitors would be in danger
soon, but for pending repairs, of stumb
ling over loose boards *r being bit by
falling plastering, as it- shucks off ceil
ings and walls.\
V• • *
The fact is, the W’hite House is ail
worn out. It ought to be practically
rebuilt, but that would cost too much,
so the policy is to stick on a temporary
patch here and cover it with paint, then
another one there, and keep at it until
the first patch gives out. when it’s time
to start in all over again.
By this process of constant tinkering
the old pile is kept looking reasonably
spruce but it’s a wreck underneath. Not
that there’s any danger of its actual i
collapse in a heap, with the presidential
family at the bottom. It's watched too
carefully for that. It’s a problem, how
ever, how long it can be from dis
integrating by degrees, when it reaches
a point where it consists of stuccy, putty,
libseed oil, white lead and nothing else.
* * *
Curiosity gnaws at Washington's vi
tals. Who cooked the Coolidge’s meals
over Sunday, just before they left for
Swampscott? Mrs. Julia Jengbloet, the
White House cook, departed Saturday for
the summer capital. The Coolidge’s didn't
go until Monday. That leaves at least
Heven meals unaccounted for—-luncheon
and dinner Saturday, breakfast, dinner
and supper Sunday, breakfast and lunch
eon Monday. Rumor has it that Mrs.
Cootidge put on an apron and did the
cooking herself. She has and she could.
The Coolidges spent many years without
a maid.
But the unromantic truth in this jn
stanceMs that the executive mansion's
entire kitchen personnel didn't go to
Swampscott when Mrs. Jcngbloet did.
Enough stayed behind to cook and serve.
Those final meals may have been a trifle
sketchy—it's noteworthy that the Cooi
idge’s had no company at any of them—,
but such as they were, there's high au
thority for the statement that they were
prepared by professional hands.
Another burning question—Why have
the Coolidges four coojis in about three
months? Careful proves
that there's no niysteflF as to two of
them. Mrs. .TongblqeCs still on the
jab and seem to be fSQng satisfaction.

Mrs. Mitlvey and Mrs. Jfcngbloet. How

brief? According to insiders, those two
cooks were to "fancy” fiifTresident Cool

a man of the world, call stand for some
frills on special occasions, but eating alone
with his family. vlanr tmff is whar he
craves. The two uofccdMipted-for cooks,
it seems, considered it beneath their art
to fhss over such plebian dishes as lie
insisted on. Whether they were fired
or quit- in disgpst is the Coolidge’s own
secrets They wofi't even tell who the
superceded ‘'mechanics” ..were, not wish
ing. it's explained, to make it harder for
them to get fresli jobs. But there's no
question that they retired, by request or
otherwise, fgr the White House service’s

coining »o clow together, have jolted the
Progressive group in Congress consider
ably.
Between now and the national legis
lature's next meeting some elective re
organizing must be done or the "Hoc”
will find itself materially weakened.
• * *
In the last Congress Progressive-ism
was pretty formidable.
Senators La Follette, Ladd. Lynn J.
Frazier and Smith W. Brookhart were
the nucleus. Senator George W. Nor
ris was of the group in everything ex
cept that he contrived to retain his Re
publican party standing—nominally.
Senators Henrik Shiputead and Mag
nus Johnson, Favmer-Laborites. were al
lies. Senators 0 William E. Borah and
James Couzens were Republican insur
gents much of the time.
Senators Hiram W. Johnson, Arthur
Capper and R. B. Howell were occasion
ally so —a little.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of course,
belonged to the “bloc” but didn't count
as a vote to the good against the admin
istration. inasmuch, as, a Democrat, he
was anti-administration anyway.
The same thing might be said of Ship
stead and Magnus Johnson; yet the ad
ministration did gain at the "bloc’s” ex-
Ipense by a “regular” Republican’s defeat
of Johnson at the last election.
Os the seven original dependable—La
Fcjiette, I,add, Frazier, Brookhart. Nor
ris, Shipstead and Magnus
three, then, are gontj, La Follette arid
Ladd by death, Johnson by defeat.
As a partial offset against the new
senator, Thomas Sehall’s victory over
Magnus Johnson, the independents are
able to count the retirement of the very
regular senator, Thomas Sterling, in
favor of W. H. McMaster—not an “ul
tra”-Progressive but as much so, say as
Borah and Couzens.
There remain La Follette's and Ladd's
seats to be filled.
La. Follette’s seems certain to be filled
by a man lie himself would have chosen
—his son, Ilob. Jr., from all indications.
Tlie Progressives are hopeful as to Ladd's
too.
So, however, are the “regular” Repub
licans. Ladd's state was “pro'’ the
present national administration at the
last election, which is what the “regu
lars" base their faith on. It was quite
progressively so. however, which is what
encourages the independents.
All in all, it looks as if Ladd's suc
cessor, if not an out-and-out insurgent,
like I .add himself, at least will fall, like
McMaster, in the Borah and Couzens
class.
It isn’t altogether a question, however,
of how'the Senate lines up next Decem
ber. There’s the future also to be looked
into—the latter half of President Oool
idge’s present term.
The administration is quite likely to
lcse some Senate seats to the Democrats
next year.
Republican members of the upper
house come up for re-election in Ari
zona. Kentucky. Maryland. Missouri and
Oklahoma. These states choose Demo
crats oftyner than they do- Republicans.
Other states in which sncc'-essors must
be chcsen to Republican solons are Ohio.
Illinois, Indiana. Nevada, New York,
I’tali and Washington, These are at
least doubtful.
It will be odd if out of this dozen of
Commonwealth, the Democrats don’t score
some gains and the Republicans suffer a
few losses.
So the administration can’t afford to
have much insurgency in its own ranks.
If it has, the same situation will pre
vail which has prevailed since the middle
Os President Harding's administration—
the insurgents will hold the balance of
power, and use it against the President.'
* * *
The Progressive “bloc"’ is a bit rattled
1 at the moment, yes. but to assume tliat
it’s done for, as the "regulars" have been
doing since La Follette, and still more
Since Ladd died, is premature until time’s
given to see how well the independents
rally.
