KNOWS INNER SOLES
OF THE PRESIDENTS
:. Sumner Pegs Shoes for
Celebrities at His Little
Shop Near White House.
By EDITH LOBERT.

When Longfellow wrote his little piece
about great men leaving footprints on
the sands of time he Neglected to men
ton a considerable factor in that par
ticular brand of footprinting.
Of course anything so prosaic as n
tight shoe or q rundown heel has no
place in a perfectly good poem. Any
journeyman poet person Will admit
that
Nevertheless, there's one man in
Washington VINO krcws tine shoe secrets
Of practically all the celebrities who
have been patting down our asphalt for
the Dast four Administrations.
He is F. Sumner. and you can find
him any day at his little shop at l72C
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, pegginS
away, determined to give John Smith
or any other OF the Plain People quito
as workmanlike q Job as if it were
the Presidents footgear.
The cobbler'S trade from time imme-
morial has been associated with philo-
sophie views of life, to say nothing of
the opportunities 1t offers for observa-
ton of human nature. And when that
human nature is of Presidential variety,
well, Sumner is true to all the tra-
ditions.
For twenty years, barring two spent

stuck to his last" His proximity to
the White House grounds first directed
the attention of the Presidential fam
lilies toward his modest little establish
ment, and his ability to please even
the Strenuous Roosevelt has kept mos
sengers chasing back and forth pretty
regularly ever since.
You see, / am a 'hold-oVer' from the
other Administrations. and so l got the
first job President Wilson gave out after
he came to Washington" he admitted
with a touch of pardonable pride as
1 watched him stitch on a half-sole. "It
was fixing up a pair of heels, and L
did the best job l knew how. Guess il
must have suited, for l didn't hear any
come e-baclCs.'
WAS that Wilson democracy, or did
the other President run down their
heels. too, just like US ordinary NOR
tals?' ] asked.
RooSevelts Hard On Shoes.
Did they?" he repeated. We'll. 1
guess they did! Why, the Roosevelts
sometimes spent as high as S15 a month
on just shoe repairs alone!"
Here he took down a battered ledger.

OF Miss Ethel appeared almost as
frequently as that Of her illustrious
parent Fourteen dollars and eighty

Charges Discrimination

was arrested on the charge of failing to

Raised Rates On Taft.

RalSeQ hdlcS Ou 4dIl.
"He had been messing around camp
fire again, and burned side of the
other shoe, so 1 had to fS that one
up. I also repaired some of his gun
cases.
When Taft's ponderous proportions
came 10 the White House Sumner was
compelled to raise his rates slightly.
'I hated to do it," he said, shipping at
his waxed thread. but shoe leather
costs money. and putting a pair Of heels
on President Tafts shoes was Just like
half -soling an ordinary pair. They were
thirteens at least, with broad toe, and
It took some real work to turn out his
repair jobs"
Sumner was a boot valet to the late
Archibald Butts, who perished IN the
Titanic disaster.
''I used to make all his riding boots,
and puttees and look after all his leath-
er equipment" he said. "and shouldn't
wonder If he was wearing one OF the
was drowned. I know that made him
complete outfit before he went
abroad"
Again the ledger came down. and
read the items entered under names IA
miliar to newspaper readers through
out the country. Strauss. Loeb, and
many of the Cabinet men were recorded
as valued customers of the little shop
just across the way from the White
House.
president Wilson's shoes are the
Iightest in weight of those OF any Of
the White House occupants. even IL
Roosevelt's were smaller" he went on
'I don't know whether there Is any
thing in Misunderstanding by the. way
one wears out shoes or not, bot I'd
take Mr.. Wilson to be a man who sets
his foot down like he means IL, even
II I'd never known anything about him.
He wears his heels off on the outside
corners and they say that's sign OF
determination"
According to Sumner, the Presidential
taste in shoes runs to blacks, having
broad sensible toes ana laces, with
Roosevelt's preference for tans the only
exception.
$50 prospecting for Presidential pegs
pays better than blazing Yukon trails,
does it?" i asked, as he turned INDUS
triously to his iron last.
''You bet il does he replied. VI was
