WASHINGTON, July 31.—The
White House here in the absence of
President Coolidge is being deluged
with suggestions for his amusement
during his vacation.
Evidently feeling that Mr. Cool-
idge has been unable to find enough
to do at Swampscott where he is
spending the summer people write
advising him to seek recreation by
learning to play the saxophone, to
climb mountains or to do nothing.
Discussion of the President's vaca-
tion interested the capital almost
immediately after his departure. It
was stimulated by reports that he
was finding it difficult to occupy
his time.
Appeal For Suggestions
While this discussion was at its
height, the Washington Daily News,
a Scripps-IIoward newspaper ap-
pealed to its readers for suggestions
on how the President could derive
the most benefit and enjoyment fiom
his vacation inasmuch as he does not
play golf, tennis or swim. The News
received several hundred answers
to its appeal. Nearly all replies were
identical. They suggested that he
Groesbeck to announce that the caR' as'd° the affairs of the nation
municipal pool at Gresbeck is closed I an^ devote more time to outdoor rest
until further notice on account of ' an(' recreation.
BATHING POOL
OF GROESBECK
CLOSEDOWN
Water Shortage Given
as Reason for Step
by City Dads
Groesbeck's municipal swimming
pool has been closed tor the re-
mainder of the summer on account
of water shortage, according to a
statement by the city officials of
that city, who found that the pool
could not be maintained at the high
standard they had set with the water
available.
The pool will be opened should
the water situation improve. Other
facilities of the new popular park
are still open to the public.
The statement follows:
"The News is requested by the
mayor and city commissioners of
Awaf TTz® C£?3wds
the present di'outh and for the con-
servation of water which has n.ade
advisable this move. The city of
Groesbeck heretofore in a statement
pledged itself to constantly replenish
the pool with pure water and it is
j to fulfill this pledge that this step
is taken.
''The swimming pool will be open-
ed again as soon as the present un-
fortunte water shortage is alleviated.
"The park and its recreational fa-
cilities other than the pool will be
j kept open for the public and weekly
| dances at the municipal club house
will be continued."

They suggested long walks, Jish-
ing, horseback riding and reading. In
the main the President was u'ged
to give more attention to his health
than to government business.
Included among the replies vere
many unique suggestions. One man
suggested Mr. Coolidge learn to f lay
the saxohpone, while another insisted
that he should amuse himself with a,
violin and bow.
Told to "Ivid Himself"
A woman advanced the theorv that
the President could have an enjoy-
able time by "kidding hhpself along."
"First thing in the morning,'' she
wrote, "he should jump out of bed,
run to the mirror, smile broadly at
the man he sees there and say:
" 'Well Calvin, dear lad, we have
another wonderful day to live.
"That 'dear,' " this lady explained,
"will help him to love himself, a
sort of an assurance to himself that
he is doing the best he can. Then the
'lad' will make him feel young"
U. S. Vacation Impossible
Explaining that real vacation in
j I :'ae United States was "imposs.bie,"
i ; a postal card contributor appealc*^j
S I to the President to "get out of the
j country and do as he damn pleases."
j j "All the while he is in this un-
|; try," this writer said, "the hoo.-.gow
1 j will be staring him in the face."
]! "Go West Mr. President, go West,"
j ■ .vas the suggestion of a 13 year old
] '.ad. He insisted that Mr. Coo'idge
, j could reap valuable physical be"-.'fits
^ j by "climbing one of the mountains."
America is still undiscovered, still
waiting to be discovered—by you!
Away from the paved highways, e!eep
in the hidden solitudes—are shady
groves fragrant with the scent of
flowers—sun-drenched valleys—lazy
streams—or hurrying brooksas befit
your mood. Waiting to please you
with their untouched charms.
Take your Ford and venture forth
into the delights cf the unknown.
Leave the beaten path to others. Go
where you will—whether the road
is paved or not.
It :s the car of the true adventurer;
the car that no going—be it sand,
dirt or rocky road—can halt; the car
that will take you safely, certainly
and happily to where nature hides
her true loveliness.
