Mr. Coolidge's Week

P: Republican leaders in both House and Senate visited the White House to discuss the progress of legislation. House leaders expressed to the President a hope that Congress would adjourn by June 1.

P: Mr. Coolidge stood up while a veteran of Foreign Wars pinned the first of this year's Buddy Poppies--sold for the relief of veterans--on his lapel.

P: Alberta Tichenor, Colorado school teacher, wrote to the President:

Dear Sir: A lion hunt is planned for the destruction of huge beasts that are prowling the mountains of South Platte Ca४n. One huge creature has driven away all the other game from the forests, and is killing sheep, deer and pigs near the homes. Lives of children attending sheep are unsafe. Even the dogs whine and hide when they get his spoor. The sport of tracking and killing such game is worthy of any of the men of the Capital. . . . We would like to see you and your friends enjoy this truly royal sport. . . . The cold wave we are having makes this a splendid time to catch the old fellow. One chased me half a mile one night, and parties of hunters have only succeeded in driving him quite close to the school.

Very respectfully, (Signed) ALBERTA TICHENOR, Grant Teacher.

P:President Coolidge nominated Irwin Boyle Laughlin, veteran of 20 years in the diplomatic service, to be Minister to Greece. The post at Athens has been vacant for nearly four years.

P: A committee, including a dozen boys, in charge of Boys' Week (April 27--May 3) called on the President to offer him its honorary Chairmanship. Said he: The boy is the father of the man. Remember that when you grow up you will be about the same kind of man as you were a boy. You don't need to rob yourself of boyhood, but you can take your pleasure in a manly way. I have two boys of my own. I tell them there are only two things necessary for boys--work hard and behave themselves. Do that and there won't be any doubt about the future of this country."

P:Howard Chandler Christy's new portrait of Mrs. Coolidge was shown at the White House. She is standing in the south grounds of the White House, with the fountain playing in the background. Around her shoulders blows a filmy white shawl. At her side is her snow white collie, Rob Roy, gazing up at her as she pats his head. To one who does no more than read the description, the picture seems like a Gainsborough.

P:"Tiger," Chief Executive of the cat family, and official tom cat of the White House, set out for parts unknown during a storm. WCAP, broadcasting from the Capital, announced the departure and requested all good citizens to urge the prodigal pussy to return.
