PRESIDENT HARDING
MAY YREADMESSAGE
Belief Prevalent President Will
Address Congress in'Person.
on Policies.

With the convening of the extraor-
binary session Of the new Sixty
seventh Congress only week away,
President Harding today faced the
busiest week he has had since en-
tering the White House month ago.
POLICIES TO BE WORKED OUT.
A veritable mountain OF matters de-
mand executive attention before Nhe
assembling of the new Congress. De-
cisions must be made this week as to
the precedence OF legislation which
Congress will be called on to con-
slider Immediately; policies must be
worked out, tentatively at least; a
number of appointments. including
diplomatic as well as domestic, must
be settled upon, and in addition to
all these. the President must get at
the writing of his first message to
Congress.
The press OF business. which the new
President has experienced in the
crowded month he has been In the
White House has precluded any at
tempt so far to actually get at the
construction of this first communica-
tion. The President has been able to
devote only brief amount OF time to
II, but II liz said that he already has
the major part OF II roughly outlined
i'm his mind, so that it's setting down
on paper will not take long once he
can find time to tackle the job.
MAY DELIVER MESSAGE.
While no formal announcement has
been made, 1t is expected that Pres
ident Harding will deliver his first
message in person, thus continuing
the practice inaugurated by Woodrow
Wilson. President Harding is Arm
believer in the potency Of the per-
sonal touch in his official dealings.
He feels that his message will get
across" better with members of the
House and Senate IL he can give II to
them face to face. rather than trust
it's delivery to the impersonsl atten-
tion OF reading clerk.
The Importance which Republican
leaders here attach to Harding's first
message can hardly be exaggerated.
They feel that not only will the ears
OF the whole country re turned to-
ward Washington next Monday to
hear the first authoritative outline OF
the new administrations policies. but
the eyes OF the world also will be
focused In this direction.
ne f1dTulHk Win
the question of foreign policies only
in broad, general terms. Foreign
nations are anticipating that the
Harding Congressional communication
may get down to brass tacks.
sUBJECT OF CONFERENCES.
It is a foregone conclusion, how
ever, that the major part of the first
message will be devoted to domestic
matters, particularly the big three"
taxation, tariff. and the railroads.
For the last four weeks these three
problems, with all their multitudin-
Gus side issues, have been the sub
jects OF protracted and continuous
conferences.
Out of these conferences, the Presi-
dent has been able to formulate,
roughly at least, a foundation on
which to build. The results of this
carpenter work are expected to be
revealed to the public one week from
today.

BUILDING CRAFTS LIKELY
TO ACCEPT WAGE CUT

CUMBERLAND, Md. April At is
considered probable that some of the
building crafts at least will accept a
reduction of wages at a meeting
called for next Wednesday to con-
slider readjustment. A building pro-
gram said to involve $4,000, 900 is be-
ing held up here because the con-
tractors claimed the present wages
could not be paid under existing con-
ditions. The proposed new scale, 1t is
stated. calls for 81 an hour for brick
layers. 30 cents for plumbers and cleo
tricians, and 75 cents for carpenters.
1t is understood the electrical
workers have indicated they will ac-
cept a reduction, effective May /, and
they will confer with the contractors
committee soon.

Teachers Discuss
County Unit Plan

Dallas, Or. Dec. 13.--The coun.
ty unit system was the principal
subject discussed Saturday at the
annual meeting OF the Polk coun.
ty school officers in the Dallas
court house,
j. A, Churchill, state superin-
tendent of schools, argued at
length in favor of the proposed
plan, holding that better adminis-
trative and education results will
be obtained if the county becomes
one big school district, in effect,
G. A. Peterson of the Valley View
district talked on the same sub
jeet, giving arguments both fer
and against the plan.
G. A. Peterson and c. l.. Starr,
the latter now from Portland but
an old county superintendent here,
took the opposite sides on the
question as to whom should be
permitted to take part in school
elections. Mr.. Peterson contend
ed that as the property owners pay
the cost of maintaining the schools
they should have the say. But
Mr.. Starr held that renters really
pay not only the taxes, but also
insurance, etc, and a profit to the
owner of the property, and has as
much right to participate in such
elections as the freeholders them
selves.

A woman shopper is more ea5iiy
''sold' than is man.
She is a better shopper. She
displays judgment.
Invariably she buys values,
rather than price tags. And, pro-
yided she is accorded the fair
measure of professional attention
that she demands, she makes the
transaction far more pleasurable
to the clerk than does the male.
Finally, contrary to the popular
belief, you don't have to show her
everything in the store. She knows
pretty well what she wants, and
she buys more freely than man.
Better Judgment Shown.
This from Salem clerks. You

"But a woman? Not much! She I
tells you she wishes to look at a

one. She examines it painstaking-
ly. She scrutinizes the button

she doesn't, at first, look at the
brand or the price mark. She prob
ably will ask to see some other
shirts and she will compare them
quality-with the IS one.
Then she will ask the price and
eventually will take the one she

That the average clerk who ex-
periences difficulty in selling"
women does so because he has the
wrong attitude toward her-be-
cause he assumes Detiigerent. un-
yielding mien-is the belief of this
salesman proprietor.
Women Buy More.
'You can't throw goods at a
woman shopper" he said. In that
way women are different from
men. If a man buys a collar he
names the 8size and brand he
wants and expects you to wrap it
up. Don't try that stuff on a
woman. She wants the collar dis
played, she wishes to know that

wears one like it, and then she's
