MRS. COOLIDGE FINDS
USEFUL FURNITURE IN
WHITE HOUSE ATTIC
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 30.—A
program for renovation of the White
House this spring affords Mrs. Cool
idge her first real opportunity to doll
the executive mansion up to her
tastes.
Congress has appropriated $50,000
for the repair of the house, but most
of this will be spent in renovating
the decorations and furnishings, and
practically all of the work will be
done on the first floor in the semi
public rooms.
While Mrs. Coolidge will have the
choice of materials, it is believed she
■ will follow custom and retain the
i standards in colors and designs es
! tablished for these rooms by Mrs.
Roosevelt.
Operations in the beginning will be
centered on the Green Room, which
succumbed to the flirtations of the
sun several years ago and faded to a
jaded brown. The Red and Blue
Rooms are in comparatively good
condition and slight changes will be
made in them. Some upholstering
will be done, and the rugs changed.
Other funds will be expended on
modernizing the elevator, remodeling
the plumbing and vacuum cleaner
system, painting the floors and re
1 placed rugs in many rooms, including
the President’s study.
Mrs. cooncige already is rivaling
her husband’s fame for economy.
Practically no new furniture has been
bought by her, but recently she vis
ited the White House store house
and resurrected two pieces which had
been discarded. One was a table,
inset with brass diagonal pieces, one
of which was missing. This piece
was restored, and Mrs. Coolidge has
been complimented several times by
visitors on the result.
She also picked up in the store
house an old fashioned comfortable
chair, bearing a tag which identified
it as “President Jackson’s shair.” It
is now in the President’s study.
BEGUILED BY RADIO
ENGLAND MAY LOSE
LOVE FOR LITERATURE
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Apr. 30.—Lured by the
relative ease of listening to the radio
and watching moving pictures, com
pared to reading a book, people to
day are threatened with the loss of
their taste for literature, according
to Sir Frederick Kenyon, librarian
at the British museum. The will to
take the necessary trouble to ac
quire knowledge seems to be on the
wane, Sir Frederick avers; the hab
it of continuous and concentrated at
tention is being lost, or is not being
formed, and there is danger lest the
faculty of it be atrophied by disuse.
The ordinary newspaper reader for
some time past has collected much
of his information from headlines
and pictures, and in the evenings,
instead of reading a book, he will
listen to the radio or amuse himself,
with a phonograph, declares Sir
Frederic, pointing out also that it
is less trouble to look at a picture
or listen to the radio than to read
an article or settle down to a serious
book. “The direct appeal through
the eye and ear,” he says, “threat
ens to supersede the indirect ap
proach to the intelligence through
he written word.
“I do not want to appear too pes
simistic, or to depict the next gener
ation as sitting with its eyes glued
to films and its ears strapped to
head phones, and as having lost the
knowledge of how to read a book.
There are more people now who
read. A small minority of these read
good books, and that small minority
may be actually larger than the total
reading public of a century ago. But
the constant danger to the superfi
ciality involved in the omnipresent
appeals to eye and ear. Many men
and women who had some acquaint
ance with literature in their youth
lose the habit through carelessness,
or the pressure of work, and in mid
dle life they find that the taste is
gone and cannot be recovered.”
The trustees of the British muse
um, Sir Frederic announced, have
been endeavoring for some time to
use photography in the form of lan
tern slides and sets of picture post
cards to promote and assist the study
of British history on the theory that
the remedy for the new danger is
the better use of the new powers.
