The Calvin Coolidiro'wriq, was inaugurated President ot the United Stntes Wednesday hnn been Interpreted, an alysed. -described and explored for the 'henefit of the American public as most : Presidents are untH it would seem that there is nothing new that could be said or told about, him. " Yet 'that is not the case with th equiet, la-, conic New Enirlahder. -V. . v The spotlight i has' beat ' fiercely upon him these last eighteen months while lie has sat in the White House: carrying on for his. lamented pred ecessor. Yet those'' who see him close up continually are getting new ''im pressions and sidelights. It is not that Coolldge in changing, for most of the talk about the "new Coolldge" is nonsense. It is rather that he is an entirelly different type from Presi dents of the last few generations. '' The old-fashioned down east Yan kee In whom simplicity, integrity, crannlness, caution and frugality are Ingrained, had . almost disappeared from public life, only to be brought, back In the person of Coolldge. Approaches Job Differently. Coolldge approaches tho Job of be ing. President fro ma different stand point than, any President in decades. It Is not a burden to him.. He "eats" it up, so to speak. He is a good de tail man. He is its' methodical as r. clock. He seldom gets ruffled. -, He 'purposely trims off all the frills and embroidery that he can In order to concentrate on the one thing of keep ing at the nctua business of the Pres idency. It is not the sort of thing that will ever make hltn -liked or loved. There will never be nn idola trous Coolldge following, such ' as would have Jumped into the ocean for Roosevelt or for Wilson, rtelntt Pres ident Is ton much of n matter of busi ness with Coolldge and lie is not suf ficiently gregarious, nor possessed of the social instinct, to draw' many in timates to him. But he can command the reBpect oli the many. It might he said that iho. man who became President in his own name Wednesday is frugal an deconbmical In every respect of worJ, of public funds, of time, of .recreation 'J'hio is the-, note tltut' TUns through every thing. ' His day starts about O'clock. He is up; 1 dressed and shaved in t. rather snappy fashion. He nearly al- ways gets in a half to an hour of cx ercife before breakfast. At' first it was In long walks about Washington. Now usually It is confined to KtroHIng about the White House grounds.' . ' A Thinker in Ills Walks There are some who .siv Coolldge. always Is thinking inlaw tut in these walks. Maybe so. His face docs not tell the answer. He Iris .1 good poker race ns rar as cono.ilinn lils thought I sconccrnetl. But it Is-not wasted on poker, for Coolldge ne'.vr indulges In the American Indoor iport. . : Breaklnst Is of frugii but subnte.n llal sort ham or bacon and tgs, sausages and cakes, fruits and coffee. The President takes two cups as u rule.,? He reads the morning papers, several bf them. He is at his office St 8:30 'O'clock or 9. Often he in nn the 'job "before the secretarial force Is settled, down to the day. Even on holidays he wanders over to the office and It no one else is around will .plunge into the mall himself, wading thrpugh letters in a hurry. Ho seems tdMike that sort of thing. Cooiidge always has a full morning. He econlniises on time and sees many persons. its getting to-be an old story or visitors who, hearing of the Coolldgesllence, come away remark- infc-he is not that sort at all that he talked heartily with them. That's often the case, depending upon his mood. It is generally true of silent men -that when they talk they are sorrtcwhttt garruloifs. In press con ferences with Washington correspon dents, at times Coolldge is short, In cisive and to' the point; on other oc casions he gets started on a subject nd talks on and on and on, almost -' in a monotone, going lnt tithe smallest SWEDISH CHAMPION' WHO BROKE BIS OWNi It ECO III) ' Arne Borg broke his own record for J. 000 feet at the swimming championships at St. Augustine.

It depends upon what mood he Is In. He Roen over all the papers in n case with ear and' caution. He taken his time in making up his mind and nobody can hurry him. so it Is with his speeches. The Bhort, crisp sen tences are not spontaneous. -' He spends hours, digesting in his mind hat he wants to say; he puts it down on paper, edits and rewrites what he has written, boiling it down; then he polishes, and shortens sentences for style. It may be & o'clock or .shortly thereafter. The day's work is done. Cooiidge goes out for his real walk. A secret service -man Is at his side; two follow him. The president strolls through the business streets of Wash ington. Ho walks with his head erect, looking straight ahead. Pnsser.sby often will stop and stare at the presi dential parly. The Stnr's correspondent has seen this over and over again, lie never has seen the president glance around, not once, nor look into a shop win dow or apparently take any Interest in the home-going crowds. Jle is out for a walk. An old fashionod trait comes to light hero. It it is at nil damp, he weurs rubbers and he wants those with him to wear them. He does not believe in taking chances on colds needlessly., if someune ad dresses him ns he pusses by he will reply with a ploa.sant greeting. Bui he never speaks on his walks, except when addresses, and seldom does he converse with the secret service, men who nccompany hm. . Doesn't Cart1! for -Golf ' In his exercise, Coolldge Is frugal In time. He does not play golf. He does not care for the game and it takes hours away from the White House. He does not go in for horseback rid ing although he has a fine stable. It is typical of i'uolidge that he should take the wooden mechanical horse that the country i smiled about. He discovered he could get all the bene fits of horseback tiding In three 10 mlnute tiries-un his mechanical steed sometime In the day; It gave him ull ihe advantage of riding except the fresh air and It saved time. Others may smile, but that will not Influence him In the slightest.' It might be said Cooiidge is more conscientious than effusive in enter taining. He approaches it ruther as a duty thun with the social instinct, livery social usage that Is expected by tradition of the president the state dinners and the public receptions he carries on well. Hut the remark that Is attributed to him that, the social affair he enjoyed most war, the one that he didn't have to attend, about hits ft, "whether the story is true or not. . . . With spoiety occupying such a large place in the scheme of things in Washington, the situation is eased much by the fact that Mrs. Cooiidge enjoys parties and functions and goes out as often as any president's wife, probably more .thun the average. She is extremely populur and there is rea son that she should he. The Cool idges never seek the theater for di version, although they did attend the opening of the opera season. Mr. Coolldge seldom misses a musicale. Trips on Potomac a Diversion The Mayflower Tvlth its woekend trips down the Potomac is the presi dent's favorite diversion. But, as with the much advertised White House breakfasts, it Ik a question just where the social and the political side of these affairs begin, and end. The senate had a good private chuckle this week over the switch of a cerr tain prominent democratic senator from tho south on the Warren con firmation fight. The senator discov ered that the president was entitled to have men of his choosing in the cabinet regardless of what the senate thought and was quite Indignant at the opposition of .his democratic col leagues. There was some umazement in view of the previous position of this senator until someone heard him telling a friend of tho "wonderful trip he and his wife had had down the Potomac on the Mayflower.' In short, Cooiidge stlckn somewhat to business -eyen In hiB social und recre ation hours. President Cooiidge will not be pop ular in Washington, where they see hi molose up. He 1s not even popular with his party associates In congress. Some of them like him. All of them respect him. But none of them loves him. He is hot that sort. Such Is the man, who Wednesday became president In his dwn right and name. New Bank for Newport. SALEM, Ore., March 6.
