LUCEY TELLS OF COOLIDGE TRAITS Shoemaker Relates Stories Concerning Acquaintance •With President —‘He Is Good Man,’

By JAMES LUCEY Shoemaker Friend of President Coolidge CLEVELAND, June 13.—Calvin Coolidge today is the same man he was when I knew' him thirty years ago in Northampton. I first met him in the second week of Octobeiin 1394, when he was a sophomore est Amherst. Robert Wier, who worked in a bookshop in Northampton, brought Coolidg to the same shop I work in today. .Tier later became superintendent of buildings at ’the Clark School for the Deaf and Dumb where Grace A. Goodhue was a teacher. Grace is now Mrs. Coolidge. Wier is now in Los Angeles. Coolidge was just as shy then as he is now, perhaps even more shy then. He would sit for hours in my shop and ask me my views about things and I would question him. Coolidge slways sat in a little chair in a quiet comer of my shop when he talked. A few months ago two women from down State called on me. They wanted to see the President’s shoemaker, they said. One of them was a school teacher. If she weighed a pound, sh;* weighed 300. She wanted to sit in the same chair that Coolidge sat • in. She pulled it out and sat down. The chair broke. The teacher’s hat went in one direction and she went in an- | other, but she thought it w as a good joke. I have had the chair repaired. Some people wonder why Coolidge is so popular if he is so shy and is not a good mixer. It Is all because he is such a good man. Let me tell a story that shows his fine character. Before Coolidge entered State politics he was connected with a Northampton bank. Coolidge took oV'*r a certain piece of property fr un the bank. But, because he was so kind to people, he made a poor landlord and did not collect enough rent. So this property became a liability to him. A friend of mine went to Coolidge and asked if he’d sell the property. Coolidge named a price. ‘‘l’ll take it.” said the man, “make out a deed and 1 11 pay you now.” Hut Coolidge was busy. “Come back in a few' days,” he said. The next day a wealthy man came to see Coolidge and asked if the property was for sale. 1 Coolidge said it was, and named a price $309 WATSON KILLED SANDERS’ DOOM AT CONVENTION

; Eastern States Were Ready to Support Congressman for Vice President, By C. A. RAND AIT , Times Stuff Correspondent , CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 13 Indiana’s failure to be represented J <jn Republican ticket for 1924 is due riaigeiy to Hoosjers themselves. Had not Senator Watson and Naj tional Committeeman Kealing stood | adamant against the nomination of I Everett Sanders, New York and j Pennsylvania were prepared to i throw 169 votes in a solid block to | the Terre Haute Congressman. Watson, much to* the surprise oi delegates, both from Indiana and other States, gave definite proof of the fact that he took his vice presidential race seriously, and was enj raged that the big bosses from other j States were prepared to shove him | out of the way and support a friend iof Harry New. Orrthe surface, all remained harmonious within the Hoosier delegation, but behind the friendly front put up by Watson, New ancUPeveridge, acquaintances of the famous trio detected, or at leasts ’thought j they detected, signs of irritation and disgust with the actions and attitudes of the others. The only thing counted on to keep this irritation hidden is the realization that a stiff campaign faces the Republican party. One of the real tragedies of the convention is the poor showing made by Senator Jim, himself. Had not the IClan been so open j in its indorsement Watson, many bdieve now that post-mortefns are bn order, might have fared much better. In that case it would not have been necessary for the bosses to seek out a relatively unknown Congressman to hold Indiana in line.

higher than the previous price. The man offered to buy it on the spot, but Coolidge told him to come back in a few days. Then he sdnt for the first purchaser. He told him what had happened. “John, you are a poor man,” he said. “You can’t afford to improve this place. Let me sell it to the other man and give you the S3OO difference. The man agreed and Coolidge gave him the S3OO. although the man had no option and no legal claim to the money. The man Mid that ha offered to pay Coolidge for drawing up the deed, hut that Coolidge refused to Rccept money for that, so lie put $lO in Coolldge’s overcoat pocket. If someone asks a favor of Coolidge, he first determines whether or not it should he granted. If he finds that the person is not asking too much, he will tell him that he will do the best he can. He never makes promises he can’t fulfill. Then, before the person expects it, he finds the favor done.

After arguments in the case of Benjamin Dubois of South Bend against the Knights of the Ku-Klux Klan, Judge Albert B. Anderson ruled out twenty-six of thirty-four interrogatories filed by the plaintiff. Money Also Secret The interrogatories ruled out also included one asking the total amount of money received by the Klan. The eight interrogatories remaining dealt with the location and malntainence of Klan offices and the question of w'hether the name of the plaintiff appeared on Klan records. The suit originally was brought by a number of residents of South Bend to compel their names to be stricken from the Klan roster. Later the list of plaintiffs was reduced after a series of pleadings had been filed and arguments heard. • Complaint Questions Iyvuders The plaintiff asked certain of the interrogatories he answered by Milton Elrod, former editor of the Fiery Cross; Walter Bossert, imperial representative of the Klan and grand dragon for Indiana, and D.

‘First AD’ For Sick Children

THE experienced mother is not alarmed when a child becomes sick. She knows that most of the ailments of childhood are tri'iing. If it seems serious she calls a doctor, but whether or not she calls him she gives, first of all, a good laxative medicine. The doctor would advise that anyway. It is his “first aid.” Such experienced mothers as Mrs. Everett E. Hunt of Belzoni, Okla., who has three children and never any sickness, and Mrs. F. B. Kuklenski of Prosser, Wash., always give Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin fit the first indication of sickness. Such timely doses have saved them much worry. The Meaning of "Good” All doctors agree that a thorough cleaning out of the bowels is of first importance for it removes dangerous intestinal poisons. They will also advise a“good laL 'tive,”and by"good”

they mean one that is effective and yet harmless. They know that there are physics that never should be given to children - calomel, which is mercury and loosens the teeth; phenolphthalein, a coal-tar drug that causes skin
