international News Service.

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July A.
President Coolidge celebrated his
fifty-third birthday at the summer
White House here today and listened
to one of the old-fashioned grand
and glorious Fourths."
1t was his first in several years,
for the youth of Washington are
tied down sadly by safe and sane
legislation. Later he paid. his f1rst
visit to the summer executive
offices in Lynn.
From early dawn, Swampscott and
the environs of White Court took
on all the aspects Of g major en-
gagement of the late war.
Explosions doomed around the
presidential home.
Small boys with a seemingly un-
limited supply Of giant firecrackers
were sending skyward every NOV
able object they could find.
Unable to wait for night, they
had roman candles shooting in all
directions and pinwheels turning
on every fence.
President Coolidge observed his
own and the nations national day
by taking q cruise on his. yacht,
the Mayflower-the first he has
undertaken sine 9 arriving at
Swampscott nearly two weeks ago.
Also today's run took him out In
the open Atlantic for the first time
since his White House incum-
bency.
Decision to take advantage of
the presence here Of his big pleas
ure yacht came after the receipt
of a number OF invitations to at
tend Independence Day celebrations
hereabouts. -
Rather than differentiate between
any of them, he sought sanctuary
on MayfIower.
Boat. clubs Of the north shore
were out in force with every veA
sci bedecked in gala attire. When
the Mayflower steamed out of her
berth at Marblehead. she passed
Ibetween a long line of pleasure
craft weighted down with fags
ana bunting.
But one thing marred the occa.
sion for the President. It was just
q year ago today that his SON, Cal
YIN, developed the illness that re-
suited in his death three days later.
