He smokes cigar after cigar, talks freely to one or another man whom he knows 1 but gener ally becomes uncommunicative in a group. He likes fast walks and keeps his head down as a rule. His hair Is getting thinner and grayer. - He will be fifty-seven August 10 and Is In his third year aj pre sident of the United States. "Mr. President" has a person ality somewhat different from that of the Herbert Hoover who directed Belgian relief during the war and "was secretary of com merce in the Harding and Cooi ldge cabinets.

At times like this, the steady tapping of a foot or scratching on a pad which he does while talk ing at his desk does not come.
