COOLIDGE RETURNS
BENEFITED BY TRIP
President Pleased With
Pittsburgh Reception-Com-
mended for Address.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Coolidge lost no time get
ting back to business upon his return
this morning from Pittsburgh, where
yesterday he delivered an important
address at the annual celebration OF
Founders day at Carnegie Institute.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
stepped from their special train al
Union Station at 7:3O o'clock this
morning. They appeared exceedingly
fresh and in splendid spirits and
smiled happily in return to the greet
ings from the few persons who were
gathered in the station concourse al
that early hour.
They motored Immediately to the
White House, where breakfast await
ed them. The Executive went directly
10 his Office following the meal, where
he found awaiting a large bundle ol
kilograms containing congratulations
upon his speech. He rushed through
these without comment and then
pushed his big armchair near the bay
window of his Office and spent the
next quarters OF an hour read
ing the morning newspapers. When
the office force arrived the President
pulled up to his desk and gave his
attention to the mass OF papers which
accumulated during his brief absence.
President Enjoyed Himself.
Mr. Coolidge remarked to some of
those with whom he discussed his
Pittsburgh trip that he enjoyed him
self fully and felt benefited by the
little break ii afforded in his Official
routine. He was touched by the
manner in which he and Mrs. Cool

OF Pittsburgh and the way in which
his speech, in which he declared with
pride that the great bulk of the
wealth Of America is being used TO
uplift humanity 10 a higher realm
ra ther than being used merely for
selfish indulgence and ostentatious
luxury, was so well received.
Comment was made by some in
discussing the Presidents speech that
1T was fortunate to select Pittsburgh.
one of the recognized industrial CEN
ters of Am erica, for the delivery of a
speech in which he was to emphasize
the spiritual advancement of the peo-
pie of this country as well as their
material development. Pittsburgh
takes pride in the fact that in its ac-
emulation of great wealth, princi-
pally through the medium of iron and
steel. it has done much in the matter
of advancing education, the arts and
science and the general spiritual well
fare of its citizens.
President Coolidge commented upon
this while paying a tribute to the
growth of this metropolis, but de-
clared at the same time that the
same commendable use of wealth and
prosperity is typical of the entire
country. 1t is evident from the fact
that the President has spoken of the
spiritual uplift in the country in sew
eral of his speeches during the past
year that he is anxious to bring the
people of this country to a greater
appreciation of this condition and at
the same time to bring the people of
other nations to realization that this
Nation in it's acquiring of dollars has
not neglected the finer things of
modern civilization.
