HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, June 4.—July 4 may take on a new significance in our national life after this year. To date, our histories record July 4 as chiefly notable because it marks the anniversary of the sign ing of the Declaration cf Indepen dence back in ’76. Future historians, however, may feel impelled to add to this that it is also the anniversary of the birth of Calvin Coolidge, twenty-ninth presi dent of the United Stales, should Coolidge run true to his lucky stars and be returned to the White House for another historic four years. Failing this , July 4 may find still another claim to commemoration in the meeting at Cleveland, 0., on that date, this year, of the “Con ference for Progressive Political Action.” It is at this conference that any really aggressive program for inde pendent or third party activity will be developed. Here, after Republi cans and Democrats have picked their candidates and written their platforms, Robert Marion La Fol lette of Wisconsin and his followers will determine on the course they are to pursue. • * » Will July 4, 1924, take place alongside July 4, 1776, as a mile stone in American history as a re sult of the Cleveland conference? Should a La Follette candidacy be decided on at that time and should such candidacy catch public favor even to the extent of deadlocking the election of both old party candi dates, the train of events which could conceivably follow might do more to shape the future of this govenment than anything which has happened since the original July 4-h Declaration. That La Follette will lead an inde pendent ticket, in an attempt to elect a progressive group which will hold the balance of power in the next Congress and put the choice for president in the balance, is .now ac cepted here as certain. His letter of May 27, washing his hands of the Farmer-Labor conven tion June 17, in which communistic elements have gained a footing, and his challenge to both old parties that “a long-suffering and righteously indignant people will find in the coming campaign effective means, independent of both these old par ties, to take back control of their government,” is taken as indicating his willingness to lead the fight. • * • Offsetting July 4 as a date for the Coolidge and La Follette followers to conjure with, Democrats present that of June 24, when the'New York gathering convenes as one of favor able and hopeful portent.

THERE’S no reason why you should spend needless time and energy in the kitchen fretting with the cooking when you can pre . pare so easily the many delicious dishes with self-rising flour.
