Sons

Last week many a smart son of a smart father came under the public eye:

John Coolidge, who could not greet his parents when they passed through Burlington, Vt., because he was busily engaged in economics classes at the University of Vermont.

Paul Mellon, whose father guided him through Rome and pointed out "the glory that was. . . ." Paul had recently emerged from his Freshman year at Yale, where he was awarded a prize for "excellence in English composition" and was also elected to the Yale Daily News.

Warren F. Pershing, who enrolled as a buck private in the military training camp at Fort Snelling, Minn. The General swelled with pride.

Harvey S. Firestone Jr. (son of the tire-potentate), who called on President Coolidge at White Pine Camp, told him what ought to be done for the rubber industry in the Philippines.

Roger Wolfe Kahn (son of the art-loving banker), who plays the saxaphone, owns ten jazz orchestras, bought Giro's night club.

John M. Parker Jr. son of the onetime Governor of Louisiana, who won the National Tarpon Rodeo at Pass Christian, Miss., with a 6 ft. 3 in.. 108-lb. catch.

Hillyer H. Straton (son of loud-speaking Roach Straton), who heard "the trumpet call of God's messengers," was ordained a Baptist minister.

Dwight Filly Davis Jr., who received a "Louisville Slugger" ball bat autographed by Babe Ruth, because he was judged the best soldier-athlete at the Citizens Military Training Camp at Plattsburg, N. Y.
