She asked BOSTON, too xxx and salespeople in smart shops said: "There is one SURE way to keep fine garments lovely" UMMER folk flitting from SUM cottages in Maine often stop in Boston to shop. Here they find lovely scarves of homespun and cashmere. Here on Boylston and Tremont Streets alone are more blouses than you would find in a day's shopping in another city-for tailored wear is popular in Boston. Characteristic of New England thrift is the exquisite quality which will wear gracefully through one season into the next. Characteristic, too, is the advice which the salespeople give you about caring for these fine garments "For safe cleansing, to keep colors and fabrics fresh use Ivory Soap," is the recommendation of salespeople in Boston's finest shops, just as it is elsewhere -in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. This fact was recently discovered by a young woman when she questioned them about the safest way to cleanse hosiery and sweaters and all kinds of feminine wearing apparel. הגה. In many cases, the salespeople had not been instructed to make official recommendations. But in their desire to be of genuine service and to give advice which their own experience and that of their customers had proved to be sound, they recommended Ivory, with absolute confidence. "Ivory," they said, "is as harmless as pure water itself." "You would do well if you always laundered your sheer hosiery in pure Ivory and lukewarm water," was said in one exclusive specialty shop. "Anything stronger than Ivory is likely to start the color in very sheer hose or any very fine fabrics." "For fine blouses, use Ivory Soap or Ivory Flakes. They are equally good-really the best thing you can use for delicate colors." (Large department store.) "There is nothing better than Ivory. It is the purest soap you can find and it is safe for fine silks. As a matter of fact, it is the one soap I can use on my face-it never irritates my skin." (Silk department of a large department store.) A conclusive test for a soap for delicate garments Ask yourself: "Would I use this soap on my face?" For today -when feminine wardrobes are chiefly of silk with here and there a scarf or sweater of fine wool, a frock of soft kasha or flannel -garments need as gentle care as do complexions. Ivory, of course, is so pure and mild that women have used it for generations for their complexions and doctors recommend it for babies' soft skin. So, in flake form or cake form -it is safe for any fabric or color that can stand the touch of pure water. PROCTER & GAMBLE FREE-This booklet of tested suggestions "What is silk? How and when to wash it. How to prevent streaks, 'bubbling', yellowing. How to make silk stockings wear twice as long. How to keep woolens soft and fluffy." A charming booklet, "The Care of Lovely Garments," gives tested suggestions on these and many other subjects. It is free.

Flakes SOAP JIVORY In writing to the above advertiser please mention The Outlook Volume 144 The Impossible Occurs P RESIDENT has COOLIDGE been interviewed. For once the White House spokesman, unofficial and indefinite, gave place to the President in his own proper person, speaking in his own way his own words. There are several remarkable things about this unprecedented occurrence. One is that, while it took place on a Friday at White Pine Camp in the Adirondacks, it was not printed in the newspapers until the following Thursday, five days after the President had returned to the routine of official life in Washington. Evidently, the interviewer took plenty of time to go over his "copy," and it is by no means unlikely that the interviewed had a look at it before it was released to the papers. The hot haste of the dailies was, for once, withstood. The man who has the distinction of obtaining the first interview with President Coolidge is Bruce Barton, editor and author, connected at one time or another with several prominent magazines. That the honor went to a Tennessean rather than to a New Englander is explicable on the ground that, after all, rural communities and rural characters of the two sections are not essentially different. There is, however, a more likely explanation. Mr. Barton is an Amherst man. Interviewing is a difficult art. It is an art falsely named. Its purpose is not an exchange of views between two men, but the bringing out by one man of the views of the other. Still, there is always the possibility that the product is more Er nearly true to name than it was meant میل to be. One can never be sure as to just how much of an interview is interviewed and how much interviewer. In this case, no one-not even Mr. Coolidge or Mr. Barton-can quite definitely know how much of it is Coolidge and how much Barton. As much as this, however, all of us may know: This interview is what an interview with Calvin Coolidge ought to be. It reveals what the American people have always believed of him. Whether that is the result of Barton's art or Coolidge's artlessness does not so October · , 1926 greatly matter. As a first interview, it was a success. The public will, no doubt, look forward to more like it. Perhaps just here is the place for the telling of a blunt truth. The public has never cared very much for the White House spokesman. It would care a Photograph by Wm. E. Thomas Bruce Barton great deal more for Calvin Coolidge as his own spokesman, even if the quotation marks were written by a much less artistic hand than that of Bruce Barton, even if they were written by such hands as those of the general run of Washington correspondents.. Perhaps it is not necessary to tell this truth. It may be that the President has found it out. Coolidge Confirms Himself PRESIDENT COOLIDGE is revealed, in Bruce Barton's interview, as decidedly a human person-such a person, in fact, as most people have always believed him to be, though they have never before been able to base their belief on intimate statements of his own. He believes that the world is growing, better. He likes Burns and Whittier better than any of the other poets because they are simpler, but he used to like Riley and Kipling, too, when he had Number 6 time to read them. He does not like sitting in a box at the theater; he had rather be down in the sixth or seventh row. He does not go horseback riding in Washington because he would have to fool away too much time changing clothes. He is a good party man, but he finds that the atmosphere of the White House is not conducive to partisan decisions. He does not find the work of the Presidency beyond the capacity of one man. But he gets tired of his work and wishes for something else, as all normal men do. He does not indulge in any drivel about the love of work. Indeed, he goes some way toward confirming the belief that the real work of the world is done by persons who want to get through and rest. He believes that his farmer father was a great man. He reveres the memories of the three good women whose influence he most directly felt in his boyhood. He believes that women, even if they look forward to public careers, should marry and bring up families. His attachments to his old home are as strong as ever. He feels that he must go back there as often as he can in order to keep in touch with the life of the people. He draws inspiration from the men and women among whom he was brought up. He is not worrying about what will become of him when he retires to private life. The old farm is his, and he believes that he can make a living on it for himself and his family. Calvin Coolidge is blessed in greater measure than most men. He has never had any trouble going to sleep. It used to be said that sound sleep and a clear conscience go together. Mr. Coolidge's. conscience may not be always clearwhat man's is?-but he has, in the discharge of his duties, "an abiding faith in a divine power which is working for the good of humanity." One of Our Ex-Presidents PRESIDENT COOLIDGE is quoted in the Barton interview as saying that, when he is tempted to do more work than a man ought to do, he remembers that there is only one former President alive. He obviously refers to Mr. Taft. Just as obviously, he overlooks Colonel House. We fear that the President's political enemies will accuse him of conniving with Sentor Carter Glass to cast doubt upon the status of the erstwhile silent gentleman as a past President of the Republic. Mr. Coolidge came back to an almost deserted Washington, so far as official personages are concerned. Mr. Glass is the only Senator who remained practically all summer in the capital. And he was not there officially, though he was working mainly with official documents. Senator Glass is writing a book on Woodrow Wilson. It is said that Mr. Glass's understanding of almost everything is quite the opposite of Colonel House's understanding of the same thing. Glass knew Wilson at least as intimately as House knew him. He is more the writer than House. Indeed, he is master and past-master of the art of controversial writing. He has been a long time a public servant, but longer I still he has been an editorial writer. If he is undertaking to prove that Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States from 1913.to 1921, the claims of Colonel House will almost certainly suffer. It is hardly to be believed that Carter Glass is devoting the whole of his attention to correcting what he regards as errors in the House book. If he is attempting an account of Wilson's work as President, it ought to be a book superior, not only to the House account, but to the Daniels account, the Lawrence account, and other accounts extant. Few men are so well qualified as Carter Glass to write of Wilson, the President. enness. It declares that drunken driving increased in Massachusetts 544 per cent. more than automobiles and in New Jersey 480 per cent. It ascribes all these alleged evils to the Volstead Act. Almost simultaneously has come the announcement of a book by Irving Fisher called "Prohibition at Its Worst." He offers statistics on the other side. For example, he reports that computations made for him "from data of the Fingerprint Bureau, New York City Magistrates' Court, show a steady and pronounced decrease in the number of single-time offenders for drunkenness, from 20 per 10,000 population for the year 1914, to only 4 per 10,000 population for the year 1925." And he comments: "The startling fact stands out, of primary importance, that, even in New York City, prohibition has succeeded in weakening, if not breaking, the chain of tradition by which the alcohol habit has, for ages, been handed down from each generation to the next." Similarly, Professor Fisher examines statistics from 626 cities and towns in the United States which go to prove to his satisfaction 1. That there has been a very substantial reduction in arrests for drunkenness and 2. A still greater reduction in drunkenness. What is even more to the point is that these and other statistics that Professor Fisher cites are in correction of the statistics set forth by Stanley Shirk, Research Director of the Moderation League. Professor Fisher, who is Professor of Economics at Yale University, pays a tribute to the courage and honesty of the gentlemen composing the Moderation League, but suggests that the Research Director of the Moderation League "is a lawyer who evidently needs statistical training." Ford Practices as He Preaches hibition. It represents the "next gen- ON eration" as drinking "as never before." It cites statistics to show that drunkenness in over five hundred cities increased almost twice as fast in 1925 as it did in 1924. It declares that relatively the "dry States"-that is, the States that had a dry law before the Eighteenth Amendment-"are now in worse condition, as compared with 1914, than are wet States." It cites certain cities specifically to show the increase in drunk NE of the bottom-rock principles laid down in Henry Ford's writings about industry is this: "The only way to get the best product is to pay a high price for a high grade of human service, and to see to it that through management you get that service." In extension of what Mr. Ford has already done in this direction, the announcement came from him officially near the end of September that hereafter the Ford workweek will be a five-day week. The pay for a week's work is to remain as it isthat is, a Ford worker who now gets $30 a week for six days' work (and that is practically the minimum) will continue to draw his $30 and will have both Saturday and Sunday free. Eight hours will continue to be a day's work, without overtime. While the change will come gradually, it is now a permanent policy, to put into complete effect as fast as the adjustment of the vast departments will permit. In fact, it is already installed in some sections. Mr. Ford understands human nature. Men will be more energetic, will put more brain work into their toil, will see to it that things are pushed along, .if they are cheered by good pay and the prospect of time for pleasure and home. This is what has made Saturday a general half-holiday (and in summer-time largely a whole holiday) without any perceptible slacking of industry. Ford believes that improved machinery and wholesale methods make the long work-day of the past a bygone practice. Canoe Defeats Auto TH Mr. HOSE who have feared that the canoe would be driven by the motor car from its last unspoiled labyrinth of lakes and streams may rest easy. The watery wilderness of Superior National Forest is not to be cut to pieces by motor highways. Secretary of Agriculture Jardine has announced the policy of the Department concerning roads in Superior. There will always be at least a thousand square miles in the area containing the best of the lakes and canoe routes in which there will be no roads. In the rest of the forest some roads will be constructed, but only such as, "in connection with water routes and logging railroads, will enable the Forest Service to protect the Forest adequately from fire." The main road to be constructed covers a stretch of seven miles, from Ely to Fernberg Lookout. A hundred and fifty thousand acres of National Forest land is dependent upon Fernberg for protection facilities, and the Secretary believes that a road to that point is essential. He has disapproved the projects for roads from Fernberg Lookout to Gunflint Lake and from Gunflint to Seagull Lake as not necessary to the protection of the Forest. He believes that the road to Fernberg will not impair the big |
