PRESIDENT AND MRS.
TAFT TO LEAD MARCH

WASHINGTON, March 4.
President and Mrs. Taft.
will make their first official
appearance at a social func-
tion tonight, whe nthey will
lead the grand march at the
inaugural ball. For months
society of the capital. and for
NAT matter, Of many other
Dities, has been in a pleasur-
Able state of excitement over
The inaugural hop, and the
amount of money that will be
represented in gowns and
Jewels on the floor of the
great pension building when
the Marine band assemblies
the dancers would buy or
build a railroad.
Dazzling Prospect.
1t is the only time in four years
that the plain American citizen
and citizeness has an opportunity
to meet the president and his wife
on the floor. of a ball room, and
with this dazzling prospect in view
1t is small wonder that there are
generally twice as many tickets
sold as there is room for ticket
holders. The crush is conse-
quentIy often nothing short of
brutal, and those who attend gen.
orally leave breathing vows of
"never again."
Mrs. Taft's Gown.
Following is an accurate
description of the gown Mrs.
Taft will wear at ball: Filmy
white chiffon, heavily em-
broidered with goldenrod de-
sign in silver, draped over
rich white satin, with full
court train; also embroidered
with the same design in sill
yer, point lace trimmings at
top of bodice; sleeves also of
lace.
Miss Helen Taft will wear
simple girlish frock of white
mouselin de sole with pale
blue ribbons.
Tickets IS Each.
Tickets to the ball sell for $5l
each, and supper is served forI
$3.50 in addition. The ball isl
the money-getting end of the in
auguration. 1t is the place where|
the Washington merchant gets his
inaugural subscription back, andI
It may be said to the credit oil
the quadrennial dance that 1t has
never yet been found wanting.
A Bower of Beauty.
The Pension building is the
largest brick structure in the
world.
For the accommodation of the
dancers-and the Washington
merchants-the huge lower floor
is cleared of its desks and files,
its documents and its chairs; the
clerks are given q weeks holiday;
and force of decorators, florists
and electricians swoop down upon
1t and convert its barrenness into
a bower of beauty for this annual
occasion.
For "Plain People,"
The famous Marine band comes
In it's scarlet and white uniforms,
and is stationed in a bower Of
palms at one end of the hall; the
president and his wife make the
round of the building accompa-
MED by the escort of honor repre-
senting all the states; q receptionl
Is then held by the president in|
order to allow a few hundred of
the few thousand to shake his|
hand; and then the "plain people,
go IL, and dance, II they can find
room to move their feet.

AIaska's Wonderful Climate

Many people are possessed with the idea that Alaska is not good place for homes and some go to the extreme of saying that, because of tine almost constant rains, good health is not pos sibIe. Let such read the following article which we take from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
 In the current numb Der of the Army and Navy Register there appears personal letter from Maj. Charles E. Woodruff, of the army medical corps upon the subject of Alaska, which will be read with considerable interest by all those who have seen Maj. Wood ruff's various monographs on the sub- iect of climatic influences on the health of the white races. 1t will be remembered that Mag Woodrutf's theory, which ie seems abundautly able to bolster up with the recorded facts, is that the tropics are not suita- ble places of abode for the white races, particularly the blonde races; while the climate of the North, particularly those northern regions where there Is considerable precipitation, where the skies are often clouded, and the sun light is neither abundant HOT strong is particular favorable to the blonde type; that in such climate the white races flourish best, grow the largest mental and physical stature, and are more nearly free from the neurotlc diseases apparently peculiar to modern civilization.
 His letter on Alaska is largely along these familiar lines. He asserts that Alaska is bound to be the home of 8 mighty and numerous people. EXpe- rience has shown it to have the health jest climate in the world. They can raise healthier and better children there than in any other part of the country. He suggests that the big northern, stolid, strong man, raised under the cool shades of Alaska's clouds and rain, may repeat the history of Scotland.
