student Minister Somewhat Nervous While Preaching Before Pres.
 and Mrs. Coolidge Sunday.

Superior, Wis. Sept. 15 P-The smile of the first lady of the land was what helped Rolf Lium, stu dent pastor, overcome his nervous ness as he preached q sermon each Sunday in the little white church at Hermosa. with the president and his wife in the congregation.
 I.ium who is visiting here. said that each Sunday he was nervous as he mounted to the pulpit.
 Mrs. Coolidges smile every Sun day was a great help to me. No matter how often l preached when the president came 10 church, I all ways had 10 overcome a slight nerv- ousness and her wonderful smile steadied me"
 Lium related that other members of his congregation dipped q coin each Sunday to determine who would usher the president 10 his seat The first time the president came 10 church, Iium was so "flabbergast- ed" he left out the middle of his sermon, he said.

For months past the police have Gcalt harshlv with these minor criminals, and of late only two or three arrests of pickpocllcts week Lave been reported. Virtually all the resident professionals are well known to the police, and rather than take a chance on being arrest ed on suspicion before the crowds increase, they arc transferring their business to other cities.
 Early next week, however, large delegations of pickpockets from other big cities were expected to come here looking for easy money.
