StirS He's Under Prying Eyes

PLYMOUTH NOTCH, VT, Sept,
l Q.N.SO Calvin Coolidge as a
private citizen appeared today to
be having as hard a time to en-
joy a quiet summer vacation as
he did in the Black Hills of South
Dakota and on Little's Point,
Swampscott, Mass, when he was
President.
Mecca For Tourists
The Coolidge homestead, nest
ling Snugly in this once peaceful,
short, narrow defile in the foot
hills of the Green Mountains, has
become the mecca for thousands
of tourists from all sections Of
the nation. That great summer
pastime of travellers, "gawking,"
is on in full tilt and the nations
former Chief Executive and his
wife are the objects.
Tall, lanky, sun-tanned, good
natured Herb" Moore, second
cousin to Mr.. Coolidge, has been
authorized by the States attor-
ney of Vermont to keep the sit
uation well in hand"
500 Automobiles Daily
Moore estimated today that at
least 500 automobiles roar up the
long pull from Echo Lake or up
the other side from BridgeWater
every week day, and that at least
1000 cars arrive every Sunday.
The ex-President, attempting to
enjoy summer vacation far
from the throng, steps out to his
rocker on the front porch-and
score of eyes of men, women
and children are Immediately
fastened upon him.
He shows Mrs. Coolidge the i'm
provement on the foundation of
the L of the homestaad-and
cameras begin clicking from every
direction.
