COOL AND ́ CALM."
"AMERICA'S NEW PRESIDENT.
PRÁCTICAL IDEALIST,
COOLIDGE'S STRIKING PERSONALITY.
(Reuter's Service to the China MaR».
LONDON, August 3... Even Mr. Calvin Coolidge's-name was un- familiar to the great mass of Britons until his automatic succession to Mr. Harding was announced. The new President, 51 years of age, is a lawyer, He was President of the Senate from 1914 to 1915 and Governor of Massachusetts from 1919 to 1920 when he sprang into prominence by his new firm methods in handling the strike of Boston city police, dismissing the malcontents; calling out the militia, and enrolling special constables.
:
. Mr. Coolidge combines the possession of strong oratorical powers with astonishing taciturnity. He is a practical idealist, and is summed up as a strong silent man of remarkable canniness. These qualities justify his political associates' description of him as "cool and calm" in appearance. He is very tall, lean hatchet-faced and reddish haired.
