Herbert Hoover of California takes the oath of office aa President of the United States on March 4, Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts will become a member of one of the exclusive organizations in the world. At no time In its history has It had more than Bye members and that occurred only once, In 1862. Since then there have never been more than two members In this club at any 4 one time and since Wilson's deatti on February S, 1924, It has had only one, William Howard Taft. For this organization, a very Important one, even though It Is small In of the membership. Is the unofficial United States club." Just what Calvin Coolldge will do when he club" was unknown at joins tfoe the time this article was written, although It tnaj be announced by the lime it appears In print. When that question came up some time ago, be Is said to have remarked that he was "just going to whittle," which may have been the New England way of saying that he was going to spend leisurely vacation efore taking up any other occupation. There has been talk of his resuming his law practice in Northampton, Mass.; tnlk of his joining a New York law firm and also talk of his becoming an important oftlclal In various business firms. If eventually he turns tr. politics there will be plenty of precedent. Three occupied important federal positions after they left the White House. John Qulncy Adams was elected to the United Stntes house of representatives. Andrew Johnson was elected to the United States senate. William Howard Taft became and Is now chief justice In the Supreme Court of the United States. Despite his historic "I do not choose," It Is even possible that he may decide sometime to put the tradition against the third term to a test and agalfi run for President. In this he again will have precedent irom his predecessors. Martin Van Buren was the first to attempt a come-bacBefore the New Yorker all the American Presidents had served their two terms save the two Adamses. Van Buren slipped miserably in his two attempts, falling despite strenuous efforts to get the nomination of 1844, and. In 184S. with the nomination falling to gather a single electoral vote. After hlra Fillmore tried with scarcely better success. General Grant was the first man to attempt to fill a third term, running well for the nomination on the first 30 ballots, but finnlly giving way to James A. Garfield. That was In 1S80. Cleveland was the only to regain the crown. Several before him tried to tarn the trick; Roosevelt exactly twenty years loter attempted the same thing. AH failed where Cleveland succeeded. For defeated In 1888 by Benjamin Harrison, Cleveland waged a campaign that found him on March 4, 1S93, riding to the Capitol. Cleveland was the only man to make this ride more than three times. In 18S5, he rode with the outgoing President Arthur; In 1889, he gave over the reins to the Incoming President Harrison; In 1803, he took them back from the same tnnn; in 185)7, he rode the trail for the Inst time, carrying with him the William McKlnley. Of the careers of the other William A.

Ulysses Simpson Grant, Intrepid soldier, laid down the task of the Presidency on March 4, 1877. With his wife and youngest son he made a tour of the world, returning In 1879. He was boomed for a tbird term in 1880, but popular sentiment proved too strong. In New against thisto course which- he moved, he became presiYork city, dent of the Mexican Southern railway and a special partner of the firm of Grant & Ward, but In 1884 this Arm failed, the former general suffering an acute financial loss. In 1885 congress restored him to the rank of general, giving him full pay on the retired list. To recoup his fortunes he began to write his memoirs, but a cancerous growth In the throat placed a painful handicap upon him and he died July 23, 1385, at the age of sixty-thre- e years, eemed about to break with France, the old ally of the United States, and spent some time reorganizing the army, which he had led so well In the strenuous years of the nation's birth.
