Although slightly less than? six feet in height. h;i carried his 21 It j pounds without any hint of obesity and his unusually broad and high "kwehead and heavy. ^puare jaw rounded out an impression of force' and distinction. Contrasting sharply with his almost silver-grey hair were markedly thick black eye brows, which almost masked a pair of calm, grey eyes. In repose his face Cook oil the aspect of severity so often seen in his photographs, but when be talked or listened the lints were broken by a Like His Fellowm+a Mr Harding was both a Rood conversationalist and a good listener and he loved to rub gibows with people. His first official order was that the gates of the W hite House grounds be thrown open and at the start he received visitors at almost any hour of the day. This took up so much of his time, however that the establishment of a fixed hour for this purpose was decided upon. Each day after he had cleared his desk and was ready for luncheon, he received groups of visitors in the executive offices, shaking hands and exchanging a smile arid a word with each individual. Whatever else historians may say | of him, there probably will be little! dispirce that few chief executives < came to office in peace rime facing i problems more complex in their na-! lure or greater in number.
