The old wood-colored Coolidge house in the edge of this village is to become a permanent and public exhibit of Green mountain home life as lived by generations of sturdy Vermonters since the Revolutionary war.

Almost every article in the collection of Coo'-j idge heirlooms is eloquent of the I which every member of the family contributed to the' making and mainte nance of the home. Collectively they tell the story of four generations of a cesslties shelter. of life food, clothing and Everything Home Made. Even most of the tools used In the In bora of the kitchen, the dairy, the sugar bush and the Holds were them-! selves "home made." The loom upon which the family cloth was woven, the "horse" upon which the shingles of the house were shaved, the "jolnt-j er" upon which boards were planed and the staves of sap buckets, tubs and barrels were "edged," the ancient "cradle" with which the grain was harvested all these and many other Implements were made In the home, Even the shapely ladder-back chairs and other articles of furniture were homemade and Coolldge-made. "Even In my day," declares Col.

John Coolidge, "about the only article of common use which we did not make ourselves were our boots and those were made In the home by an Itinerant ahoemaker who paid us an annual visit and set up his shop In a corner of the kitchen. And the hides from which he made our boots and shoes were taken from our own cattle. Plymouth had a tannery at an early date, so my great grandfather and grandfather were saved the unpleasant task of doing their own tanning hut I have little doubt that they would have done It If it had been an advantage In family economy to do so.

It closes the campaign with more than 14,000 members. Every stnte and territory of the United States Is represented in its membership a considerable number of members living in Alaska and Porto Rico. It has, through Its membership fees, collected about Slo.OOO. These funds hnve been largely expended in printing and mailing carefully prepared campaign literature to help In the election of President Coolidge.

Among the officials of this organization are some of the ablest men and political leaders of Vermont. While the Home Town Coolidg club has done novel and notable work as a Republican campaign organization, both in the enrollment of visitors at Plymouth and In sending Ita caravan across the country as a testimonial to the affection In which Calvin Coolidge is hpld by his own "bom folks," Its action In taking the required legal and financial steps to make "The Plymouth Home" a per manent public attraction to this quaint Green mountain village Is a I distinct achievement for which thousands of tourists will he grateful Id years to come. The home Itself and the treasures which it contains tell In the most vivid and graphic manner the conditions which have shaped the character and the destiny of Calvin Coolidge.

IS) he id Newcomer Is Welcomed in Hornet of Indians. Quito, Ecuador, S. A. The Shuara Indians, who Inhabit the unknown regions throughout the tributaries of tba npper Amazon river, are beyond doubt the largest and most powerful race left i South America today. Their head-reducing feasts, their far-reaching religious views, the fact that they never were conquered by the Incaa or the Spaniards, are bat a few of their characteristics that wonld take a book to write of In complete detail, writes Lester Slddle, In the New York Tribune.

These Indians have peculiar vlewi of matrimony. They marry for mora wives in order that they may have more boy babies. And also because the mors wives one husband has tha less work for each wife. Consequently, when a husband brings home a new wife there Is much rejoicing among the other wives, because, they say, she can help with the work. Tbe men never do any work In the garden! of yuca and bananas or tobacco.

Their duty is to light tha wars, carry oa the blood feuds and obtain game for -the household. And during all of my eight months among these Indians I never once saw an unhappy house hold. The several wives work In per fect harmdny. Strange Superstition. With a desire to obtain pictures, samples of bail and measurement of these Indians, one of their strangest superstitions was presented to me ta startling manner.

Tbe superstition that a camera Is some species of soul stealer or imposer of witchcraft came near upsetting my plans. I desired profile pictures, close-ups and even a bit of hair from each In order to use for comparison. Not only this, but I wanted body measurements of both men and women. I set about therefore to Inveigle my models, so to Into a good frame of mind with gifts of red beads, fish hooks, knives, cloth and other odds and ends. The work of photographing and measuring progressed satisfactorily, bat the wrong wrinkle in the whole affair came Just as I was attempting to cut off a lock from one of the Indian maidens.

As the girl did not seem to have any drastic objections, 1 started, shears In hand, measuring eft about a foot of the jet-black hair. The hair was more on the order of horse hair than that of a human bet Ing. It was coarse and grease- anl stiff. It delayed my intentions so lon that trouble really started. Raised a Howl.

I cannot recall Just how It all happened, but suddenly there arose a howl among the warriors. There had been revived In their minds an ancient superstition. In connection with witchcraft and sorcery, which had been practiced by their forefathers and which was somehow connected with a woman's lock of hair. The superstition waa to the effect that under the influence of a drug, the spirits had told a witch doctor of their tribe that one could impose witchcraft on a woman, or, as they call it, "pray her to death," if The sorcerer was able to steal a hair from his victim's bead. But they are extremists.

As soon as they learned that a camera would not kill them nor steal their souls, and that I was not Intending to "pray the woman to death," they broadcast the good news to other tribes by means of pounding rapidly on a big signal drum made out of a hollow log, and called a tandui or tundull. They need series of loud and dim blows, something on the order of onr dot and dash code. They were sble to relay message from family to family or from tribe to tribe through this code. In former times thla signal drum was need at all religious ceremonies. Today it Is used during surprise attacks from enemies of one tribe who wish ts signal te their allies for aid.

corporated. "This step has been taken," declares John G. Sargent, former attorney general of Vermont, who has-handled this matter for his Plymouth and Ludlow neighbors, "because It happens that in the attic and chambers of this old house a collection of the Implements of family existence used by earlier generations of Green mountain men and women more complete than Is to be found anywhere else In Vermont has lately been discovered. "I cannot deny that, at bottom, this step Is ii expression of the affection in which his own people hold President Coolklge, his father and all his fprebears. But I do deny that it In volves anything like an attempt to set up a Coolidge memorial or any as- sumption that the house and its fine i old treasures derive their historic value from the fact that they have been In the Coolidge family for four five generations.

Open to Public "This old home Is to be opened to the visiting public not as a Coolidge exhibit but as an exhibit of a typical Green mountain home, with all its simple furnishings and equipment intact and in the places which they occupied a hundred years ago. No man who is not a native of Plymouth and has not had years of intimate acquaintance with the Coolidge family can understand how impossible it would have been to obtain the old house and Its treasures for public use upon the presumption that the Coolidge ownership affords (ha basis of tbe historic value and Interest of this exhibit. The Coolldges are temperamentally debarred from entertaining any such presumption for aa Instant it would be abhorrent to them and any assumption of this sort would have put a quick and summary end to all negotiations." Quite another consideration un doubtedly had Its influence in making It possible for the Home-Town Coolldge club to obtain the ancient house and Its store of priceless treasures dating hack to Colonial days. This is the affection of President Coolidge for the place of his birth.
