COOLIDGE STAUDCH FOE IF: REDS

Editors Note: Governor Cool idge of Massachusetts has become a national figure almost overnight. By his unyielding stand against Bol- shevism, Sovietism, radicalism and revolution, and his faith in the gov ernment and devotion to law and order, Cal Coolidge has loomed up as a presidential possibility. The Daily Review sents it's correspondent, J. Herbert Duckworth, to Boston to give the readers of this paper an intimate look at this man)
 By J. H. DUCKWOTH.
 BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 1S.-Who is this Calvin Coolidge, recently re- elected governor of Massachusetts, and now talked of as presidential timber for 1920?
 What kind of a fellow is the man who smashed the Boston police strike?
 I have just left the state house, after having had talk with the gov ernor. Let me give my impressions of the man:

simmons. II was in prime condi- tion, no food having passed it's lips for several days with the excep- tion of yesterday, when it was fed two bottles of near-beer and three dougfmuts. Before the fight it was confined in a barrel, where it's cries of rage were easily distin- guishable above the roar of the street cars, while it's pointed claws. which had been filed to pin point with a bottle opener, tore at the woodwork of the stage floor as if the maddened animal was in- sane with the idea of getting at the dogs.
 The dogs were in good condition, with the exception of Red" Can nOn's bull, which had a bad cold and could not smell the badger, al- though it nearly broke it's tether in getting outside of a hamburger (Liberty) sandwich that John Two mey inadvertently brought to the scene of the conflict While the awed spectators watched the furi- ous antics of the other purp as it tugged at it's collar, anxious to put the badger where Gannon's pride was putting the hamburger. Mana ger French announced the referees of the nights festivities. Flushing like a schoolgirl while the plaudits of the spectators rained upon their ears. Frank LOughery and Johnnie Meyer, both doughty pugilists. stepped to the stage and were in- troduced. The rules of the sport were then explained to them, and then, with tense lips and a door die expression upon their manly faces, they divested themselves of their coats, took a scared look at the barrel beneath which the man. eating denizen of the Chiracahuas was safely hidden. and climbed upon a kitchen table, conveniently placed so that the badger could not bite their legs.

With straining eyes and tense muscles Loughery held the rope which was to pull the badger into view of the enraged canines. Beside him Johnnie Meyer stood, resolved to stick to the last, but with an eye to the nearest exit. A few seconds passed. Loughery's face became drawn with the strain. Slowly Manager French counted the magic number ''three."
 With a yank that came from ev- cry muscle in his powerful body, Loughery pulled the handle clean of the badger, and the fight was declared forfeited.
 He and Manager French are now on speaking terms again. Invention of silk plush for the man. ufacture of hats saved the beaver from

way through the Black River academy at Ludlow, Vt, and Amherst college. He then studied and practiced law in Northampton, Mass, where his home still is the lower part of a two-family house.
 He has been mayor of his town, member of the state house of repre- sentatives and the state senate, and was lieutenant governor for three years.
 Governor Coolidge is married and has two young boys at school.
 In Boston the governor lives in two modest rooms at the old Adams house. He takes his life rather seri- ously.
 He doesn't pose. He doesn't pre- tend to be what he isn't He is just as much at ease with a labor leader as he is with a capitalist Once in while he goes to a baseball or foot ball game, but never to the theater. His own thoughts are sufficient com pany for him. He is the Robinson Crusoe of Massachusetts politics.

What w;ls described afterwards as perhaps the fiercest, hottest and bloodiest badger fight in the his tory of Arizona and Douglas was staged last night at the Grand the ater under tue auspices of the Bis bee Athletic club, of which O. s. French is manager and Frank Loughery, the Philadelphia Bear cat, is matchmaker. More than two hundred men witnessed the terrible encounter, all women and children having been excluded be- cause of predictions which had been made con corning the battle. After the gore had been wiped from the stage and the other evi- dences of the battle had been cleared away, .Loughery was de- clared the winner by an almost unanimous vote

 We talked of the significance of the governors reelection and of the police strike which was ''the issue 9
 Three words tell the result of the election" said the governor, repeat ing his election night message. Massachusetts is American"
 "The result, 1 think, is welcome demonstration to all those people of the United States who believe that liberty can only be secured by obe- dience to law"
 But I started out to give a word picture of the man, not his political views.
 Governor Coolidge is fairly tall and thin-gaunt, but not emaciated. His hair is carrotty and sparse; his eyes are blue and kindly.
 He can smile, but the smile is very fleeting It quickly vanishes and he is calm again.
 The governor talked of American ism' and of Flaw and order' seri- ously, but with fervor. "As Massa- chusetts went so will the country go," he said to me with conviction. But there were DO flOurishes of speech. The governor did not act as though he were trying to sell me a patent medicine. His final words to me were:
 "The people of Massachusetts have justified America by listening to the truth and following it. Those who tried to capitalize the peoples sell

fishness have been disappointed. Have faith in Massachusetts. Have faith in this great republic"
 There are no funny stories to be told about Governor Coolidge The governor has no pastimes. He played golf once, but has no clubs At col lege his sporting activities, he told me, were confined to holding the stakes" His only real pastime is to get his breakfast in the morning, and then go to work.
 In many respects the governor looks like a typical Yankee of the movies. Tog him up in a. baggy dark suit and a squash hat and he would make an admirable "parson" in a Cape Cod screen drama.
 Calvin Coolidge was born at Ply mouth, Vt, on Independence day, 1872. He is of old New England stock. He worked on his fathers farm as a boy. His struggle for an education is the story of thousands of poor country boys. Ie worked his

The Gravity Test Discarded

The Governments Committee on Standard
cation of Petroleum Specifications stated in its
report: 1T will be noted that there are grav
ity limitations in the specifications for aviation
gasoline, nor in the specifications for motor
gasoline which are given later, for it has been
found that gravity is of little or no value in de-
termining the quality of gasoline" The stand

Boiling Points the Real Test

Gasoline is known to the refner as one men,
Der of the petroleum family. He distinguishes
each member of the family, not by gravity, but
by boiling points. Gravity is a Aeeting stand
ard of test, but boiling points are unchanging
in their value and always determine the quality
of the product. Knowing them the refiner can
keep his product uniform and reliable

Boiling Points Tell the Story

Boiling points determine the vaporizing and
combustive qualities of gasoline. They decide
the action of the gas developed from gasoline.
They are the only true measure of gasoline
value.
An ideal gasoline has boiling points in con-
tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too
many low boiling points, otherwise the loss in

What Is a Boiling Point?

A boiling point is the temperature at which
liquid will begin to boil or vaporize.
In distilling given quantity of gasoline the
refiner ascertains at what point each 10 per
cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap-
Grated or distilled. In this way he determines
what is known as the initial boiling point, as
well as all intervening boiling points in the
chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point.
