MAKES DEFINITION
Coolidge Explains Just What He Means By Terms "Progressive" and Also "ReactiOnary."

Washington, July 19.-Definition of the two commonly-used political la bels, progressive" and "reactionary' depends, in the opinion of President Coolidge, on the viewpoint of the per- son endeavoring to make the distinc- ton.
 MT. Coolidge's views as to the two terms were elicited yesterday by q caller who asked him to define the two words. In his reply he said 1t had become somewhat of a custom in the United States for every person to classify all who disagreed with him politically as a reactionary, and added it reminded him of the old definition of orthodoxy as "my-doxy" and heterodoxy as 'others-doxy."
 The president had engagements to- day for several conferences, none of a purely political nature, and proposed to board the Mayfower about mid- afternoon with Mrs. Coolidge, his son, John, and his father for the custom ary weekend cruise down the Po- tomac. The president has decided on these cruises as the only vacation he v.ilI take,

DON'T GET FAT
That Is, If You Would Be President. According to the Dope Of senator Royal Copeland.

New York, July 19.-"If you would be president of the United States don't get fat"
 United States Senator Royal s. Copeland of New York gave this ad- vice today to 5000 Boy Scouts in camp on Bear mountain. "Keep your waist line down." he told the scouts, for the day of the statesman with the 50-inch girdle is gone.
 "The reason is simple,' he con tinued. "The public now knows that men are not born fat and that obesity is due to being too indifferent to per sonal welfare to keep the waist line down. Logically voters think that if a man is too lazy to care for his own health, he will be too lazy to care for the public business. So if you would roll up big vote keep down your waist line"
