PRINCESS BORN; NATION JOYFUL Sofia, Bulgaria, Jan. 13 (?) All Bulgaria was celebrating the birth of a princess this morning the first child of King Boris III and Queen Joanna.

U (tP) Presi dent Hoover is in excellent health as he prepares to enter private life after four strenuous years In the White House. Unlike many of his predecessors who left tho White House broken in health and in spirit, Mr. Hoover will stroll from the executive mansion on March 4 with a spring in his step and a smile on his face, his associates predicted today. Capt. Joel T. Boone, White House physician, attributed Mr. Hoover's excellent physical condition to his constant attention to exercise and diet. When the president entered the White House four years ago he weighed 210 pounds, far too much for a man of his five feet and 11 inches in height. Upon the advice of Captain Boone the president began his 7 a.m. "medicine ball cabinet" two days after his Inauguration. For half an hour daily he has tossed a heavy ball to a group of friends who gath ered back of the mansion. He also took long tramps at the Rapidan. Sometimes he rode horseback. Although his faco plainly shows the strain under which he has been, he hardly looks his 58 years. He now weighs between 176 and 178 pounds. 2 ST.
