Some forty-odd years ago a little sandy-haired boy named Calvin Coolidge went through all the thrills of a boy seeing his first circus. This same person, now President of the United States, went to the circus again yesterday and experienced the sensation of seeing such a form of entertainment for the first time as the ruler of the nation. On the first occasion the boy Coolidge was accompanied by his father and grandfather, and although the circus was a one-ring affair, he was delighted. Yesterday he was accompanied by his wife and a num- ber of secret service and newspaper men, and all eyes were turned upon him as he started across the sawdust under the big top. - Bands played gayly and crowds arose and cheered and waved. The presidential party was given a rousing ovation, and Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge smilingly acknowl- edged the tribute before taking their seats. ‘There was no doubting the fact that President and Mrs. Coolidge fully en- joyed themselves. It would be difficult to pick out from all the varied form of entertainment just what pleased Mr. Coolidge the most, but, judging, from his expression and the enthusiasm displayed when he applauded, it might be taken Spring Clothes for Men, Women and Children CREDIT Moderate Prices H.

Nor did they partake of any of the pink lemonade. nor any of the other things offered for sale by the loud-voiced salesmen who piled their wares continually. This was the first time President Coolidge had been to a circus for a number of years. When he closed his office yesterday to take the after- noon. off he was enthusiastic. Not only was he to See a circus again, but it was the first real holiday he has had since becoming President.
