Without dissenting vote, city
council refused to increase the rate of
gas to 90 cents a thousand cubic feet,
as proposed last week by Service Di-
rector Guy C.. Mitchell All nine
members of council were present and
all nine voted nay on the proposition
This took place at d special called
meeting Wednesday night. And the
action taken is to the everlasting
credit of the members of city council
and is being favorably commented
upon by big majority of the people.
The report of the committee in full
is to be found on this page of the
Press, and should be carefully read
by every well-meaning citizen AND
OTHERS. While the report is short,
it is right to the point, and it's few
words cover the whole gas situation.
In the report much food for thought
will be found by the readers.
The report makes no argument, pro
or con, of the benefits to the city to
be derived from the location of big
coke and gas plant in our midst that
will give employment to hundreds of
men, or as to the growth and ex-
pansion of the city as a result thereof
The report in simple NATTER fact
way points out that the city, under
the proposed contract for artificial
gas, can continue conducting it's gas
department-and at profit, assuring
the people that with reconditioning
of the gas mains, and with the price
to be paid for artificial gas under the
terms of the contract, the rates can
eventually be much lowered.
Enlightening Report
The report does not contain a jum-
BILE of confusing figures, such as has
been put before the people by the
daily papers and in literature scatter
ed over the city the past two weeks,
but is right down to "brass tacks"
and in such way that the average
person can understand what is what
in the gas situation of the city. The
public service committee of council is
to be much commended for the con-
else manner in which it submitted it's
recommendation against any increase
of the gas rates at the present time.
Be sure to read the report and study
it carefully and then know the gas
situation;
The committee states plainly that
it is unable at this time to find any
accurate figures upon which to base
the deficit of the gas department.
And no one else seems able to give
them. The amount of the deficit has
been given as all the way from Sic, 600
to more than $4,000. Those who
would continually harp upon the big

the camp he had Erwin Geyser, his

Next on the program is shaving.
Although John Mays, the colored
valet, is an expert barber, the Presi-
dent rarely calls upon him to do the
shaving He would rather attend to
this Job himself. He explains that
he is used to it, and besides, he
knows his face better than any one
else, and he doesn't want a barber
unless he is in great hurry, or when
He wants his hair cut.
Little time is wasted in getting
into his clothes. He is what is gem
orally referred to as neatly groomed
man, but clothes are of no great i'm
portance In his scheme of life.
Frequently. when on vacations, the
President goes collarless for his stroll
before breakfast. If the weather is
inclement he generally dons an old
blue sweater but never carries an UNI
brella.
President Coolidge very seldom
misses this stroll before breakfast.
He does, however, vary its length and
it's course. He looks upon this exer-
else in the open as essential to his
keeping in good health, and besides
lie affords Mrs. Coolidge time to do her
dressing preparatory to being on hand
when the breakfast hours O'clock
arrives.
Breakfast in the Coolidge household
is not a light or puny affair, and up
here in the camp, with the President
and Mrs. Coolidge out in the open a
greater part of the time, the meals
are even larger than ordinarily.
There is always meat of some kind.
The President prefers steak-and not
very well done either Fish has ap-
peared frequently on the breakfast
menus at the camp, and both the

his short daily strolls completely an
swered the requirements of physical
exercise in his case.
IF THIS angling business, for which
= Mr.. Coolidge appears to have de-
veloped liking, actually gets into his
blood, 1t is thought he will then make
some alterations in his daily schedule.

ing. For Galxin Coolidge to walk in

sensation in the Coolidge household.
If once he should remain away from a
meal without having given word. in
advance, it would, UP to this moment,
have been just as probable as his de-
claring war on Japan.
But there is hope. There is no
telling. He has held out from this
sort of thing for a lifetime, ard il he
should fall, he would fall good
and hard. The Coolidge household
schedule would be knocked to pieces.
In the meantime, everything runs
like clockwork.

vacation period depends on just how
firm a grasp this pike and pickerel
fishing obtains. There is no telling
how it is all going to end If the Presi.
dent becomes real fish fan.
Up to the present Mr.. Coolidge has
seen to it that he was on hand for
midday dinner. The hour, o'clock,
has not vet been changed. This meal
is no light lunch affair. There is al.
ways. some form of soup or consomme,
a relish, generally fowl and fish, a
salad, vegetables fresh fEom the gar.

dessert-the last mentioned consists
mostly Of pie-apple pie. On certain
days a, meat hash with apple sauce
as a side dish is served at this meal.
AS matter of fact, President and
Mrs. Coolidge are apple sauce addicts,
and plentiful supply graces the table
usually at other meals.
Mr.. Coolidge belongs to that large
army of American men who enjoy
or else smearing their. bread with a
generous coating of the sauce.

THE afternoons are uneventful at

dent and Mrs. Coolidge. with the two
white collies they brought with
them, go for stroll about the
grounds, always ending up at the
boathouse two or three hundred feet
away from the main cabins Of the
camp. There they stand or sit for
some time, looking off at the lake and
the wondrous beauties about them

seem to enjoy the quiet, and the
murmur of the trees, almost every
where around them, appears to he
music they cherish.
There is no question about Presi-
dent Coolidge having selected a beau
tiful spot for his rest and recreation.
This lake country, with its dense
forests, the smell of balsam in the
air, and the difference in the tenn
perature. appeals to them. Already
they are beginning to show tie
benefits of their visit. Their brief
vacations have been either in the
hills of Vermont or by the sea, but
these mountain lakes and the great,
silent forests are something new to
them. So natural and wild and
varied is the scene about them that
they never grow tired of looking out
upon it. In answer To inquiries about
how they liked the country, they have
replied that they are charmed They
add that they will never become
lonely in the midst of this wilder
ness solitude.
Several times when the couples

the bOathouse, the camp guide has
been called upon to take them for

speed motor boat belonging to the
camp Several times the President
has been padded about in one of
the several canoes of the camp. OF
late, he has been using one of the
larger of these canoes for his trolling
in the lake.
AS O'Clock approaches, the Presi-
dent is generally found heading for
the couch in the living cabin, and
then follows his nap of an hours

in Plymouth Notch. He was very
much elated at his first days luck,
and several times during the after
noon talked angling with Oscar Otis,
his native guide, and Col. Ed. Starting
of the secret service. both of whom
are thirty-third degree fishermen and
sportsmen. @
1t always has been a trait of Calvin
Coolidge to do we'll anything he at
tempted. It is the same with his
fishing. He has taken it very seri-
ously, and he makes 1t plain that he
wants quickly to graduate from the
freshman class and to be able to hold
his own with the best of them. To
perfect his skill and to become better
acquainted with the rod and reel, he
went to a remote end of the lake front
of the camp. where he tdled away
an hour or so practicing casting and
reeling. AS might be imagined, his
patience was remarkable.
The following day it rained hard
and the air was cold, but he attired
himself in slicker and again went at
his casting practice. To get at this
early he hurried along his after
breakfast smoke and his newspaper
reading, and when his stenographer
appeared for duty, the President told
him to go to the little room in the
living cabin, being used as the Presi-
dents den and office. to wait. 1t was
with reluctance that Mr.. COOLIDGE
turned his attention to the affairs Of
the Nation.
Probably for the first time since he
has been President such a. thing has
happened. With him II, was always

fundamental ideals in his makeup,
are showing signs of faltering. Just

Y WIEN President Coolidge was

NN upon his arrival at his
camp in the Adirondack
Mountains, at what hours
he desired his meals served during his
vacation. lie replied briefly, but with
out hesitation, Just the same as back
in Washington"
The President added that he knew
of no good reason why there should
he any change just because he was in
the mountains and because he was
supposed to be on a vacation. Since
then the Coolidge routine, so far as.
rising and retiring and eating meals
are concerned, has not been altered.
Although the President is known to
be a poor hand at changing his per-
sonal customs, it WAS thought by some
who came to the mountains with him
that he might make "A few alterations.
But thus far the only change noted is
that he is giving just wee bit more
thought to play, such as fishing and
boating, and a little less time to work
and reading. This change, while
really revolutionary, is only gradual,
but it gives much promise.

Timber up. One not go familiar with
the Coolidge habits Mould think this
should be easy to bring about. but
those who have been close to the
President know differently.
In the first place Mr. Coolidge has
very little play in him. He is one of
those who have never learned to play.
The President smilinglg remarked,
only the other day, that before coming
to Washington as V;cA President
and later as President he was al
ways too poor to play, and when he
had reached point Where he could
afford it he could not spare the time.
Moreover, the President has never
associated a vacation with play. 1t
always has been to him brief rest
from his daily laborS: change OF
scenery and change C air. He is
the authority for this himself Before
leaving Washington Fog his vacation

that if the White House were located
permanently in the Adirondack Noun
tains, he probably would come to-
Washington for his vacation:
Nevertheless, those with the Presi-
dent are hoping the play symptoms he
IS showing, although only slight for
the present, will develop. Probably

so limited and the days slip along
so quickly he tries hard to steal this
sleep hour for his work and reading.
He starts off bravely and with a real
determination, but invariably his
eyes are soon batting and showing
signs of drowsiness, his head drops
forward and the President is asleep
in his chair. Some one is always
nearby quietly to remove his book
or papers from his limp hand, and
the word is passed along that he is
asleep and is not to be disturbed.
Mr.. Coolidge enjoys these maps.
He is accustomed to them. They
are not new with his arrival at the
camp. They are a part of his daily
routine back at the White House,
and his daily schedule of engage
ments is arranged accordingly.
He is a firm believer in a short
nap being of great benefit to busy
man, who must face daily tasks of
great magnitude. He attributes much
of his good health to this.
One would think that he would
not be ready for bed at an early
hour after having an hours nap in
the afternoon, but the President
rarely remains up later than 10
o'clock. Once or twice since COM
ing to the camp he has broken his

The radio and Mrs. Coolidge's piano
playing, both of which he had been
enjoying, are said to have been re-

what one would describe as a music
lover, but Mrs. Coolidge'S playing
of the old pieces he knows so well
never fails to please and entertain
him.
Mrs Coolidge is an accomplished
pianist and seldom needs coaxing to
