Health

"Doesn't he look well!" has become the stock remark of tourists who catch sight of President Coolidge in northwestern Wisconsin. Brown, brisk, he continued his vacation last week unirritated. He cast flies on the Brule River at all hours and put the largest fishes which unsuccessfully tried to eat the flies into the Cedar Lodge "live box," so that he could display them to visitors or eat them at pleasure. He kept his semiweekly office hours in the high school library at Superior, and made one unscheduled trip on which Mrs. Coolidge accompanied him. She sat quietly at the window while he signed some papers. She, too, was feeling altogether fit once more.

The President's health even included freedom from his annual rose fever. P:Cook Ernest Gilpin, who fries, broils, bakes the President's fish, was called to defend himself in Milwaukee against his wife's charges of cruelty and desertion. Cook Gilpin stayed at Brule, let the court fix a $12-per-week separation allowance.

P: Airplanes began to visit Brule from Superior, circling and dipping to show tourists the fishing President.

P: John Coolidge went to Superior one cay, played golf, went shopping, returned to the lodge with the following phonograph records: "Just Like a Melody Out of the Sky," "Louisiana," "Dixie Dan," "Golden Gate," "I Can't Do Without You," "Think of Me Thinking of You," "Beloved, I Wonder."

P: The death of Captain Emilio Carranza, "Mexico's Lindbergh" (see p. 16), affected President Coolidge deeply. He had met and lunched with Captain Carranza just before going up to Brule. International feelings-of-state were commingled. President Coolidge sent a long telegram of sympathy to President Calles of Mexico. To Mexican Ambassador Tellez at Washington he offered the U. S. S. Florida to carry the body home. Mexico acknowledged gratefully but declined the Florida.
