The Coolidge Week

P: The President took off his shoes, extended first his right foot, then his left. "Wonderful feet... size 8 ... almost perfect for walking purposes . . . indicative of a cool, steady life," said Dr. Peter Kahler, Manhattan orthopedist, who measured the presidential feet and took orders for presidential footwear. Flappers, he added, might well be proud of feet like Mrs. Coolidge's, also "almost perfect," size 4 1/2. Dr. Kahler's grandfather made size 14 shoes for President Lincoln.

P: The President let it be known that he will make four speeches before leaving for his summer vacation: on April 25 in Manhattan to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the United Press Association; on May 17 in Washington before the American Medical Association; on May 30 at the Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate Memorial Day; on June 11 in Washington before the business organization of the Federal Government. C Barren Collier, booster, seller of streetcar advertising, had luncheon with President Coolidge, informed him that a survey of 3,500 U. S. cities pointed to business prosperity. The first six months of 1927, said Mr. Collier, should yield as large profits as the corresponding record-breaking period of 1926.

P: The executive order which reinstated Mrs. Bessie H. Smith in the Federal service in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was signed: "For charity. Calvin Coolidge." Twenty years ago, Mrs. Smith worked for the Government. Then she married. Recently her husband died, and she asked for her old job to support her four children and her mother.
