TRIP TO CAPITAL
They Seek Size of Presidents
Foot to Give Him
SlipperS.

II Brigadier General Sawyer will
kindly step up with a foot note on
President Harding, or point out where
one of the Presidents footprints may
be found in the sands of time, he will
nightly oblge two campfire girls.
These girls, living in Kingsbridge,
n. Y, naively state that they have a
surprise for the President. but that
they must know the size of his foot"
1--WE want to give him a pair Of
bedroom slippers" they finally ad-
mitted, after unavailing efforts to
locate the foot size without appealing
to the President himself. But it was
TO use, and today the White House
mail contained a letter from the girls,
in which they admit that I'VE feel
funny, but we've got to know the
size before we can Begin
The girls said they had tried to
give the President flowers when he
went to New York to speak at the un-
yelling of the Bolivar statue, but they
never got near him and the poor
| flowers would have died"
I'VE decided that the next time we
gave him something 1t would be
| something that would keep for
awhile and something that we had
made for him ourselves" they said.
we thought of a beaded collar bag
but mother always gives father collar
bags and he never uses them, so we
| struck that off our list. Then we
thought of giving him wood

men aren't always pleased about
! Finally. we decided on bedroom
slippers. because they're comfy and
soft and nice and everybody needs
bedroom slippers. These, we're goins
to make, are going to be very soft
and not too fancy, and President
Harding can take them with him
wherever he goes. He can just sir
them in his pocket, IL he's in a

new CABINET
/ CHAIR LOOMS
Officials See Department of
Education After White
House Conferences.

Chances for a Department of
Education, with a Cabinet officer
to be called the Secretary Of Edu-
cation, were deemed bright today
when officials at the Capitol
learned Of a conference to be held
today or tomorrow between Presi-
ednt Harding and Congressman S.
D. Fess,' with Brigadier General
Sawyer acting in an advisory ca
pacity. a.
WOULD MERGE ACTIVITIES.
II Is understood that the conference
between the President and the House
chairman on education will result in
the creation of tentative Depart
ment OF Social and Public Welfare,
the educational feature to be included
In the portfolio under an assistant
secretaryship. The new department
would combine four activities that are
now merged in other departments
with subsequent enlargement and
greater powers.
The bureaus, 1t is pointed out, will
be those Of veterans rehabilitation,
social welfare, public health. and ed
ucation. The last-named bureau will
b the same Organization now exist
ing, only transferred from the De-
partment Of the Interior. along lines
OF the Smith-Towner bill.
TOwNER BILL OPPOSED.
The opposition to the Smith
Towner bill in some sections has
caused this change instead of max
ing the whole department one of
education. and the new bureau will
function with increased powers, but
the Towner bill provisions will he
somewhat modified. Educational
work for teachers, for rural schools
especially. and Americanization prob
lens. will be its chief concern.
The Bureau Of Public Health will
60 over to the new department from
the Treasury Department, but will
occupy itself along the same general
lines as heretofore. with more initi-
ative and authority in Graduating
disease. N....
The Bureau of Social Welfare viii
look after industrial cripples and en-
deavor to work out q plan of indus
trial rehabilitation. Maternity pro-
lection will be afforded by it. 1t
will give its attention to proper
housing. and will act as an interme-
diary between agencies like the Red
Cross, the Knights of Columbus, and
the Boy Scouts, and the Government.
NEW DESIGNATIONS.
The Veterans Bureau will include
the War Risk Insurance Bureau, the
vocational ,traininS board for injured
service men, and the Pension Office.
as we'll as such functions of the Pub
lie Health Bureau as have heretofore
affected the ex-service man.
Instead of the heads of the four
divisions being called bureau chiefs
they will Re called assistant secre-
taries.
There seems to be a general ac-
ceptance of the plan already in WASH
ingtop, but the supporters of the
Smith-Towner bill, seeing their work
merged in the general scheme, are
fighting to have the department
named the Department of Education
and Public Welfare"
If the President approves this
week, the bill making the changes
will be introduced in the special ses-
sion of Congress.
