Taft a Scientist
In Shaking Hands;
He Beats EN- to II

President Taft shakes hands scientific
ally, and for that reason Is able to 20
through with reception similar to the
one today without III results to his
right hand. n fact. ,neariy all public
men use the same system OF hand
shaking.
The idea is to beat the other fellow
to the grip and get him by the finger
tips. thus making 1t impossible for him
to crush any bones In his enthusiasm.
Shaking hands with the President OF
the United States is an event In the
lives of many people. and because of
that fact they think II is necessary to
give a real hearty shake. but President
Taft quickly grasps such individuals by
the fingers.
