X X +
TT Is this way Of looking at himself
that gives him his discipline of him.
Pself. Nature bestowed upon him no
physical exuberance. He has been
obliged to live and act through energy
nourished and projected by self-contro1.
When the self-control snaps there
an1erge, even at press conferences, little
fits Of nervous petulance that indicate
the cost at which the self-control has
been established. If ever man began
the conquering Of the world with the
conquering Of himself, 1t is Mr.. Coolidge.
He has conquered even that pride,
that assertive egotisrn, which is usually
the accompaniment Of self-conquest.
II is doubtful II ever, throughout his
whole stay in Washington, he has done
one thing or said one thing in order to
impress himself upon others. He went
through long period during which the
intelligentsia thought him, as it still
thinks him, dull, and during which the
political opposition thought him, as it
abundantly has ceased to think him,
feeble-witted.
Those were the days when the oppo-
sition, Republican as well as Demo-
cratic. rallied against all newspaper cor
respondents who credited Mr.. Coolidge
with a good allowance of brains. He
lived through those days without one
effort to seem different to anybody. It

He determined to turn aside to North
amDton to congratulate Mr.. Coolidge
on his spectacular reelection to the
governorship Of Massachusetts,. He
found him sitting alone in the library
Of his house reading newspaper. He
exclaimed to him:
THE newspapers are all booming you
for the presidency"
Mr.. Coolidge looked up and said only:
They won't be in a week"
Nor were they. It was not the presi-
dency; 1t was only the vice presidency
that Mr.. Coolidge could then get from
his party.
A few months ago q friend said to
him:
After you leave the White House you
should be the chief delegate OF the
United States to great international
gatherings. Your national career should
be topped by an international one. The
next administration should see to 1t
that this is DONE"
Mr.. Coolidge, as il scientifically re-
porting the political habits Of colony
Of bees and ants, responded in his SOL
emn manner:
Every new administration likes new
faces"
Then with his whimsicality. which is
drawn always from his realism, he
thought Of another point and smilingly
stated It. It was, And every admins
tration thinks--it thinks-it has new
policies"
He saw the obstacles, the natural and
Unreasonable obstacles to his friends
suggestion. He did not sit down to

tory. II we are to believe the radio en-.
gineers and electrical wizards of the
age, not many more inaugural pageants
win pass in review before people al
over the world will be able to sit ir
their homes and see them as well a:
hear them by means OF television.
Arrangements were made In 1925 for
thousands Of school children In various
parts Of the country to hear the inau-
guration address Of the President by
radio. Receivers and loud speakers were
installed In hundreds Of claSsrooms and
high school auditoriums so that the
students might be brought into close
contact with the important events
transpiring in Washington, d. @. This
year by the same arrangement school
children win be able to hear the entire
inaugural ceremony, and it Is believed
that In the not very distant future
they will be able to witness the pageant
On screens placed before them in their
classrooms.
Tonight an airplane Of the Army Air
Corps will fly over washington, drop q
fiashlght bomb Of millions Of candle
power and take photographs Of the city
Just SITTER dark on Inauguration eve
These pictures win be quickly devel-
oped, dropped ct the landing field, then
transmitted over telegraph wires to be
received In newspaper Offices within one
hour after the exposures are made
Readers across the continent will see
these views In their morning papers al
their breakfast tables on Inauguration
day.

top of their heads. Some even leap
out Of the water to lay their eggs on
the glass, and then moisten them with
their tails during the incubation period.
A group of Siainese and East Indian
fish blow bubble nests to put the eggs
In. In some varieties the father will
chase the mother away and teach his
progeny to swim. And many kinds
will eat their young as soon as they
appear unless they are separated.
What chance has the goldfish against
all this competition?
The answer is that not one member
Of his auriferous family was invited to
be present at the exhibition Of the
Aquarium Society last Fall. A tropical
fish trust has already been formed,
with Eastern headquarters In New Jer-
sey, Western branch in Ohio and
European connections--for In Europe
the tropical fish vogue is in full sway.
The Aquarium in New York City has
installed the nucleus of future col
lection which already looks like q
pushcart display Of neckties.
All in ell, 1t looks as though Mr..
Goldfish's existence henceforth IS going
to be that Of poor cousin. wsile the
reals aristocracy of the home tank Is
going to be divided among the many
little gay and strange immigrants from
the tropics.
