TEN MPERANCE,

The short session of Congress viii
begin in December. There are two
laws in regard to the liquor traffic
that Congress should pass at the
short session.
l. They should forbid the use OF
the mails to advertise alcoholic Ii
quors.
Alcoholic beverages are a detri.
ment to every community and indi.
vidual. The organizations which dis
pense these liquors are public
nuisances. The whole business breeds
crime, sin and disease, destroying
our people.
Why should not the government
prohibit advertising thru the mails
that which destroys our citizens and
their usefulness.
2. The short session should pro-
hIbit the liquor traffic in all terri
tory under the control of the Fed

mon decency demands that where
the federal government has control
it should prohibit that which is an
injury to its people.
These two measures require only
a majority vote to enact them in

the Hobson National prohibition bill
received a majority vote in the
House of Representatives.
Let Idaho Overwhelmingly adopt
Prohibition by voting
for the amendment in November.
Then every voter should communi-
cate to our representatives in Con-

adoption of the two propositions

URs. WILSON shook hands.

TRS. WILSON shook hands.
IO - That was the one outstanding
feature Of the .irst official White
House reception recently. 1t was not
the limp and listless style OF hand shake
which is at present considered good
form-it was the old.faHhioned. hearty
hand.shake OF our srandfathers' days.
All Washington fashionable society
was interested at the news; has Mrs.
Wilson set a new fashion,
1t has not been customary for the
Preadent's wife to shake hands on the
occasion OF public rece ptions. She merely
smiles and bows
In fact, the whole subject OF shaking
hands Is in q moro or less indefinite CON
dition in fashionable society. There are
many women OF good social position who
DO not shake hands II it can be avoided.
They maintain that a bow and smile
are sufficient greeting. If woman
makes no move toward extending her
hand It Is not good form TO force her into
action by extending a hand toward her.
But II situation arises where wom-
an finds hand extended she accepts the
advance, and perhaps fecbly extends
three ingers-just enough 10 save the
situation from embarrassment
OF course, President Wilson's bride
knows all this and had thought about It,
When she took her place at the head Of
the line Of the Cabinet ladies the other
evening she had decided exactly what
she was going to do. Whatever women
In fashionable society were doing or
whatever had been the habit OF other
mIstresses OF tho White House-Mrs.
Wilson decided to shake every hand that
wanted to be shaken. And she did so.
I The Job Mrs. Wilson undertook was
no small one. She was obliged, on the
no fewer than 1926 persons. She began
shaking hands at exactly $50 p. m,
when the first guest was introduced TO
her by the master Of ceremonies, Colonel
Harris. At precisely 12:45 a. m.-three-
quarters of an hour after midnight-she
stopped.
The task occupied Mrs. Wilson con.
hours, or 1916 minutes. I'm that length OF
time there are 11,7O0 seconds. Thus 1t
seems that the average time consumed
per hand.shake was about two and four
ffths seconds.
Mrs Wilson is a strong woman, physi-
cally, else she could hardly have with
stood such an ordeal. AS matter OF
fact, she was so little fatigued that next
morning she was up and out by 10
o'clock, paying an informal visit TO an
old friend.
Mrs. Wilson is not, and never has been,
: woman Of fashion. Accordingly, she

has no fashionable frills and Alterations
When she shakes hands she does not
hold her own Mt shoulder level and
waggle the other persons paw horizon
tally. Nor does she languidly extend two
or three fingers.
On the contrary. she shakes hands in
the old-fashioned sort OF way-not merely
Offering her own Imply, to be grasped,
but with a warm and hearty clasp. 1t is
cordial. old-fashioned hand.shake that
she giveH, meeting the party OF the sec.
ond part halfway, as 1t were.
Mrs. Wilson's hand-s4ake Is given at
the level OF her waist-a simple two I'D
and two down movement It occupies
not more than one second OF time-the
remaining one and four-flfth seconds
taccording to the time schedule OF the
other nights reception) being consumed
by the guest In advancing and bow
ing.
Mrs. Wilson'S right hand rose about
five inches and descended five inches;
it rose again five inches and fell five
inches. Then the grasping fingers re-
Taxed and the hand withdrew to her side
The hand-shake was over
Mrs. Wilson's hand travelled a dis.
lance of twenty inches. up and down, at
each hand.shake. She shook 1926 lands
Her hand, therefore, travelled $3.50
inches, or nearly mile and quarter
during the evening.
It might seem that Mrs. Wilson's man.
ner OF shaking hands was of no imag-
Unable Importance. But such a view of
the case would be a mistake. For the
Presidents wife is always the leader Of
fashion at the national capital, and
whatever she does whether she wishes
it or mott Is widely copied and imi-
tated.
That Mrs. Wilson will continue to
shake hands at White House receptions
is by no means to be taken for granted
Indeed, the chances are that she will fall
back upon the traditional custom, and be
content with bow and smile. In the
recent instance there was a special rea.
son for making an exception.
This reason lay in the fact that the re.
ception was to all intents and purposes
a wedding reception. The Presidents

to make them go further, but the effort
was fruitless. and hundreds OF people

This was not the new Mrs Wilson's
fault. She had Entrusted the matter to
other and supposedly more experienced
hands. But 1t has not been customary
since the time of President Hayes to
offer any refreshments at White House
receptions, and no data were available
on which to reckon the quantity Of re.
