Ifew York.--Calvin Coolidge, who went into the office of President of the United States with the Idea that traveling on special trains was official pomp atid swank, Is now convinced that it is a necessity. Even if a President chooses to ride oc a regular train with other people, railroads cannot afford to permit it, Coolidge declares In his laOpst article In the American Magazine. "However much he may deplore It," says the former Chief Executive, "the President ceases to be an ordinary citizen. In order to function at all. he has to be surrounded with many safeguards. If these were removed for only a short time, he would be overwhelmed by the people who would surge in upon him. In traveling it would have been agreeable to me to use the regular trains which are open to the public I did so once or twice. But I found It made great difficulty for the railroads. They reported that It was unsafe because they could not take the necessary precautions." Run as Extra Section. The 'problem was solved, says the Ex-President, by running an extra section of a regular train for the exclusive use of the President and his party. Coolidge, however, seldom availed himself of a private car on the special train, which was always offered by the railroads. Only once, in his recollection, was the offer of a special car accepted and then because Mrs. Coolidge had been ill and needed extra comfort. Coolidge declares he was not given much to travel during hfs administration but the trips he made convinced him tint the government should own a private car for the use of the Presi* dent when he leaves the capital. "Ths pressure on him" is so great, the responsibilities are so heavy, that it is a wise public polity, In order to secure his best services, to provide him with qgch ample facilities that ITe wftl be relieved as far as possible from all physical Inconveniences," he declares. $n any Presidential trip much de- Is Involve^, CooUflgf continues. One or Two secret service men must "28 to Ulf end of the Journey several days ahead. His route of travel and every street and building he is to visit must be Inspect^- The secret service men also appro^fe tne ordgj of ceremonies and often, if the police force is inadequate, they arrange for addition* al military or naval forces to aid local authorities. The President's aides, other secret service men, some of the President's office force and house servants have to be taken along. Facilities must also be provided -for a large retinue of newspaper correspondents and cameramen. Yalte Precautions. Every switch that a Presidential train goes over must be spiked down. Every freight train that he passes is stopped and every passenger train slowed down to ten miles an hoijr. Speaking from the back end of trains is a lost practice with the coin* lng of thg loud spesftgr, Coolidge says, aiThlng: "It was never my practice to speak from rear platjonnSj The confusion is so great that few people could have heard and it does not Beem to me very dignified. When the President speaks, it ought to be an event. About the only time I spoke from a train was at Bennington, In September, 1928, where I express^ my affection for the people and the state £f Vermont. I found that the love I nad for the hills where I was born touched a responsive chord In the hearts of the whole nation." * CLASSIFIED > ADVERTISEMENTS COMERS AND GOERS OF A WEEK IN OUR OITTp * A« Seen Rv.

Through the philatelic agency of the post office department collectors bought $283,983.04 worth of stamps, an increase of more than $129,000 oyer 1928. . The stamps are in the hands of more than 1,000,000 collectors, and since It Is considered improbable that they ever will be used for postape, the post office department considers the purchases virtually deal1 profit • * • * The most popular stamp with collect- • ors has been the George Roger 01ark stamp, issued to commemorate; the surrender of Fort Sackville, Vincennes, Ind.

Brennan, thirty-three, right at the peak of his career as an Inventor. t When Brennan announced that he had perfected a working model of a motor car operated by springft without the use of gasoline, a local policeman resigned and a restauranteur sold his eating establishment to go laito business with the "genius." They were among the' complainant* who had Brennan arrested on a charge of larceny in connection with' money Invested in hi# rather visionary undertaking. It s«ems that the fuelless automobile he had In mind had not been quite perfected. • r , ... Outdoor advertising today has attained a new sphere of usefulness. Not only does the man on the ground read as he run*, but now wen the aviator may peruse as be feilots. To reach travelers In both elements at the same time, 'the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has erected the first air-earth bulletin board near Detroit, Michigan. The unusual feature of the sign Is that It is erected at a 45 degree angle. This angle makes It readable from both air and earth without distortion. Thq location is near the Ford airport, below a heavily traveled airway, and close to a main concrete highway and electric car line. From the road the sign presents an odd appearance which immediately attracts attention. The motorist, perhaps believing that the •ign has been partly blown over to ihis 4!5 degree angle by the wind, is " Quickly enlightened by the legend across the bottom which reads: •Tills 1h the first bulletin ever erectfd advertising to people who travel •air." From the air, the slgti W dearly read at a height of "700 fedt. Planes which Continually leave and arrive at the nearby Ford aflrpo'rt carry hundreds of passengers vrhfdb are attracted by the unusual sign. At the angle at which the 'sign is placed, It Is perfectly readable from the sky. The erection of this sign Is In line with the progressive aviation policy of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). First to recognize the value of air transportation for Industrial purposes by buying an airplane of its own, this company Is again first to recognize Its Importance by building a bulletin board which may be read from the air. The constantly Increasing number of air travelers forms a considerable reading public and a large potential market which Justifies the use of air advertising. This reading public of the sky the Standard Oil Oompany (Indiana) has reeog nlzed, and will continue to recog nlze from time to time by other air earth bulletins placed at strategic \ - •• Mr. and Mrs. George P.
