Reorganization

Rumor with her thousand eyes and myriad tongues began to anticipate the workings of Calvin Coolidge's mind, the deeds of his hand.

"Relieved of the embarrassment,'' murmured the plumage of monster Rumor, "of an impending election, Calvin Coolidge will recast his cabinet. Secretary Hughes will be urged to stay--but probably will insist on retiring. Secretaries Mellon, Hoover, Stone will stay. Secretary Wilbur may be removed outward and upward. Secretaries Weeks, Work, New, Davis will go."

Perhaps. Perhaps.

Meanwhile, Secretary of Labor Davis has announced an itinerary on the business of gathering information on immigration that will take him to South America until about Christmas.

Mr. Coolidge let Rumor run.
