President Hoover is a muscular type, a men,
tal-muscular -alimentive type. He is creative
and executive-a man of action. Men of his
caliber give no thought to clothes SO long as
they are well pressed and clean. President
Hoover's clothes are coIorless and have no par
tcular individuality. But then very few of our
Presidents have been smart dreSsers. President
Wilson was one of the best, Notwithstanding the
fact that he was a phosphorus sulphur-calcum
type, which ordinarily does not care for clothes.

quite the opposite from the calcium man is
the Silicon man. He is usually tall and good
looking. The Prince of Wales is phosphorus

which other men gauge their style. He Is fond
of bright colors and introduces them in all his

Theodore Roosevelt and William Jennings
Bryan. In Paris In the Latin Quarter, you win
see many artists of this chemical type wear

Otto Kahn and Grover Whalen both extremely
