Up to today, six states have instructed their delegates for Coolidge—Virginia, Kentucky, Iowa South Carolina, Louisiana and Minnesota. By the end of this week four more states will have joined this list, the Coolidge managers claimed today. These are New Hampshire, Kansas, Colorado and Mississippi. The grand total of delegates' strength from these ten states is 184. The president will receive his first primary endorsement tomorrow in New Hampshire. Senator Hiram Johnson of California, the only avowed opponent of Coolidge, has not entered delegates in the state. All of the delegates have announced themselves for Coolidge save one—Senator Geo. H. Moses. Inasmuch as Senator Moses is accounted the original Coolidge man, there is little doubt of his position. The Coolidge managers are somewhat doubtful of South Dakota, where the primary comes March 25. Senator Johnson has been concentrating on the South Dakota fight and has been added to a large extent by Senator Norbeck. A victory for Johnson there would be the first real setback experienced by the Coolidge managers, and by the same token it would give the Johnson candidacy a pronounced boost in other primary states where the Californian has selected to give battle. The next 12 weeks are to be filled with political battle. New Hampshire leads off in the primary list tomorrow. North Dakota follows March 18. South Dakota on the 25th; Wisconsin votes on April 1, Michigan on April 7. Illinois and Nebraska on the eighth.

Nature maintains her own, very excellent medical service. Those who have not studied that service are her very poor assistants. Thomas Meighan Probably no screen star numbers among his acquaintance so many people in the public eye as Thomas Meighan. It is a tribute to the likeable personality of the handsome Paramount player that flapper and philosophers, governors and ball players, authors and concert singers are proud to number him among their friends. John McCormack, the singer, is a close friend of Meighan's. Tom would as soon wear orange on St. Patrick's Day as miss one of the New York McCormack concerts, when he is within commuting distance of it. At Pinehurst, N.C., recently during the governor's conference, attended by the chief executive of practically every state in the Union, Meighan, who was there for a rest, was sought out by the statesmen and treated them to a pre-release showing of his newest picture. The friendship of Meighan and George Ade is well known. This started when Tom was playing the masculine lead in Ade's stage comedy, "The College Widow." Incidentally it was during the run of this play that Meighan met Frances Ring, also a member of the cast and now Mrs. Meighan. The Meighan-Ade acquaintance has resulted in such popular pictures as "Our Leading Citizen," "Back Home and Broke," and "Woman-Proof." Another author-friend of Meighan is Booth Tarkington, considered by many to be America's foremost writer. For a long time she has been trying to induce yesterday from the company's Sausalito office, is believed today to be sailing the Pacific in a small fishing schooner.

Lister's wife is believed to have accompanied him. Tarkington to write an original story for him to play it on the screen. At last the famous author consented, with most gratifying results. The story is "Pled Piper Malone," a comedy-drama, with scenes laid at Oldport, Maine, near Tarkington's summer home. The plot deals with an attractive sailor-man and a girl and a bunch of cute kiddies. Lois Wilson is the girl. "Pled Piper Malone" will be shown at the California theatre two days, starting today.
