LINCOLN ONCE
APOLOGIZED TO HIM
Swampscott, Sept. 8.—President
Coolidge today is in the best physi-
cal shape pf his 25 months of in-
cumbency in the White House.
The eleven weeks in which he has
been at the North Shore here have
built him up to a point which phy-
sicians regard as almost remarka-
ble for a man of his age—53 years.
Major J. P. Coupal and Lieut.
Commander Joel T. Boone, the phy-
sicians who safeguarded the presi-
dent’s health, are moat ■ satisfied
with the manner in which Mr. Coo-
lidge has reacted to his summer

HUNDREDS FIGHTING TENNES-
SEE FIRES
Johnson City, Tenn., Sept. 7.
Several hundred men, including
Rangers and volunteers, Monday
were engaged in fighting a aeries of
roaring fires on the famed Unaka
Forest territory, which are raging
over a territory 40 miles In width
fom near Johnson City in the Pop-
lar Valley section of North Caro
lina. They already have destroyed
scores of mountain homes and sent
hundreds scurrying into the open
spaces for safety.
Calls for additional volunteers to
help check the fires have been sent
out and scores of laborers in this
section are reported to have given
up thsir holiday celebrotinns and
answered the call.
Caldwell, Ohio, Sept. 6.—Salvag
ing of wreckage of the Shenandoah
was begun here today by officers of
the United States navy under di
reetjon of Commander Jacob H.
Klein, of the Lakehurst, N. J., naval
air port.
Armed with blue prints of the ill-
fated Shenandoah, which fell in
widely separated sections near here
early Thursday morning, the com-
mander and other members of the
board of investigation visited the
wreckage near Ava, marked certain
portions to be salvaged and set men
to work with saws and axes to pro-
cure the desired pieces.
The salvaged parts will be crated
and sent to Lakehurst. They will be
used, Commander Klein said, more
for study In planning future dirigi-
bles than in determining the cause
of the accident.
The board of investigation has not
“swerved in the least in its belief
that the crash was inevitable in the
face of the storm that was encoun
tered, it was indicated by its mem-
bers.
Admiral <?. W. Dyson, who has
been conducting a separate inquiry
at the behest of Curtis D. Wilbur,
secretary of the navy, left Caldwell
this afternoon for Washington. He
will report personally to Secretary
Wilbur tomorrow or Tuesday.
Admiral Dyson declared that he
would not be justified In making
any statement here but indicated
that his views of the cause of the
disaster were in accord with those
of the board of Investigation head
ed by Commander Klein.
Commander S. M. Kraus, Who ar-
rived Friday with Commander
Klein,.^eft for Lakehurst with Ad-
miral Dyson. Besides Commander
Klein there remain in Caldwell
Commander Nelson and the paymas-
ter sent from Lakehurst.
Commander Klein asked Lake-
hurst for two lieutenants to assist
him. They are expected to arrive to-
morrow to help carry on the work.
“The board of investigation will con-
tinue 'its inquiry for several days at
least, Commander Klein said.
When the work of salvaging is
completed, he said, bids will be re-
ceived for junking the remainder of
the chip’s debris. Several dealers, it
was learned, have already* spoken
for junking rights but formal bids
will be necessary.
All of the investigators treated
statements of Colonel Wm. E. Mitch-
ell, charging incompetency of aeron-
autic officials, with disdain and
apathy. They refused to make any
reply other than that Colonel Mitch-
ell was wrong.
Oakland, Calif., Sept. 8.—John
G. Crouch, 88, believes he is the
only person who ever received an
apology from Abraham Lincoln.
Crouch was born on a farm in
Rochester, Sangamon county, eight
miles from Springfield, 111. As a
youngster he often went to the cap-
ital with the farm help to dispose
of produce. On one occasion he en
tered the stable on Lincoln’s prop-
erty and was leaving, when Lincoln
arrived and searched his pockets,
saying fathat eggri had disappeared
from the place.
A week later the Crouch boy was
told by his father to visit Lincoln’s
law office. This he did.
‘You are Davis Crouch’s son,
said the future emancipator. “I
wrongfully suspected you of steal-
ing eggs and I want you to forgive
me.”
Crouch lived in Sangamon county
fifty years and saw Lincoln many
times. He often sold apples to Mrs.
Lincoln. On May 4, 1865, Crouch
viewed the body of the assassinated
president.
IN THE CITY OF THE DEAD
Jim Lowry, one of the ablest
writers in Texas and editor of the
Honey Grove Signal, contributeJAthe
following beautiful tribute to the
life of William Jennings Bryan, and
incidentally discusses a few of the
great men of the country who lived
contemporaneously with Mr. Bryan
“The .recent death of the great
Commoner, William J. Bryan, teach

OF HEALTH ISSUES
. WEEKLY LETTER
MISSION THEATRE
Approximately 6 3-4 per cent of
all babes born in Texas during 1924
exclusibe of still births, died before
reaching the age of one year, ac-
cording to statistics compiled by the
bureau of vital statistics of the state
board -of health. At this rate, 67
babies out of every 1,000 born, died
under the age of one year. Of the
number of babies dying, 56 per cent
were white, 31 per cent Mexicans
and 13 per cent negroes.
By contrast, statistics show that
New York City, with its heat,, dust
und crowded quarters, has 68 babies
out of every 1,000 and in South Car-
year of age. The highest death rate
of babies of this age where statis-
tics are available, are those of New
Mexico and South Carolina. The
death rate in New Merieo being 132
out of every 1,000 and in Couth Car
olino, 122 out of every 1,000. Ore
has the lowest rate of all the
states, being credited with only 51
deaths out of every 1,000 born.
“That Texas should have almost
as high a death rate of bpbies under
one year of age as New York City,
is due,’ according to Dr. H. O. Sap-
pington, state health officer, “ to
several causes, among which are:
lack of proper milk sanitation ordi-
nances in a large number of cities;
lack of knowledge of parents along
the line of practical health protec-
tive measures; the small number of
health clinics ip the state; and lack
of medical attention in the sparsely
settled sections of the state. While

Houston, Texas, Seift 8.—The
Retail Credit Men's National Asso-
ciation is sponsoring a “Pay Your
Bills Promptly Week." Leopold L.
'Meyer of Houston, vice-president of
the association and chairman of the
committee on, “Pay Your Bills
Week,” announces the plan of pro-
cedure.
“In every community in tha Unit-
ed States' in which there is an or
ganized retail credit men's associa-
tion or retail merchants’ aasoi nation,
there will be published in ana of the
leading newspapers a series Of four
advertisements to appear on alter-
nate days beginning with Sunday,
October 26. The same advertise-
ments will appear simultaneously in
all the newspapers selected for that
purpose. In the larger cities full
page advertisements are contemplat-
ed.
“On the night preceding the ap-
pearance of the first advertisement,
talks will be made over the radio
by prominent credit men throughout
the country, vividly enlarging upon
the thought behind the idea.”
In Houston, however, Mr. Myer
said, the campaign will be enlarged
For thirty days 22 billboards will
carry the “Pay Your Bills Prompt-
ly” message and an illuminated car,
attractively decorated, will play the
main streets for a week, the car em-
blazoned with the same inscription
“Exceptional results are antici-
pated, not only from the Houston
' campaign, but from the nation-wide
campaign,” Mr. Myer said
