COOLIDGE ENJOYING
MUCH NEEDED REST
BY the Associated Press.

SWAMPSCOTT. Aug. 6. With
the summer more than half gone,
President Coolidge is taking advantage
of the opportunities here for rest aud
relaxation.
For the second consecutive day he
had an almost vacant engagement list
today. He is putting in his free hours
posing for portrait and enjoying the
freedom of White Court with its sea
view. Twice daily he goes over his
correspondence.
Walking always has comprised the
main form of diversion and exercise
for Mr.. Coolidge and while he finds
the roads hereabout somewhat crowd
cd, he gets in many minutes each day.
IL is quite likely that after going
TO Plymouth, for two or three days in
short time he will return here to
stay probably until early Septem-
ber
