1t was the first time I had met her,
and only the second l had seen her
TO know her, though l have lived
here always and am acquainted with
the majority in public life. I found
her much better looking and even
more agreeable than l expected. She
has a very free and easy manner, and
yet has much dignity. She makes
you feel at home Immediately, and
acts as though she has known you
always. She had some special wor.i
of greeting for each guest; then
later stood and chatted in a veIy
friendly manner; answered all ques-
tions addressed to her and made
everyone have very good time, in
deed. She is some politician. too,
let me tell you. She said that day
that Medill Mccormick said that the
President was a statesman, but she
was a politician. And she is-and
then some.
Mrs. Harding looked very well
that day. The costume she had on
has been described in various ways,
but I'm sure l really know what
she wore. OF course others who
described her gown were sure they
were right, too-but then, as / say,
+ KNOW I'm right. 1t was a gray
crepe de chine with a large pattern
scattered over it of grey and dark
Alice blue flowers with a touch of
rose in them. The skirt was ac-
Gordon pleated and cut in sharp
points at the hem, from under which
barely peeped skirt of gray satin.
She wore gray satin oXfords. The
bodice had a vest Of white Georg-
ette crepe and a shawl collar Of
the same ending under a girdle of
grayish dark-blue changeable taf-
feta ribbon, which was tied in a
small bow in the back, A small
cluster of dark blue and gray f1ow-
ers was tucked under the ribbon
girdle in front. Around her neck
she wore the black silk and diamond
dog collar she always affects, while
around her neck and reaching be-
low the waist line was fat-beaded
neck ornament such as the soldiers
make, mostly of sparkling white
beads that appeared to be diamonds
at a short distance. 1t was very
effective. Just above the line, of
the vest the beads were caught with
brooch Of bowknot of black
enamel edged all around with tiny
diamonds. :.
MISS HARLAN

Mrs. Harding declared that day
that she hated clothes, and only
wore them because the law insist

PRESIDENT A STATESMAN.
FIRST LADY A POLITICIAN,

n GRs. HARDING continued to re-
M ceive callers last week, among
AV4 them being viviani.. The same
afternoon she gave a tea for the
newspaper women OF Washington,
all of whom lost their hearts to her.
Many Of them met her for the first
time at that nice little tea party.
The Washington herald., 1921-04-10

etc. I guess she does have anus
ing experiences of many sorts. Miss
Laura Harlan. her social secretary.
presided at the tea table. as she
generally does at the small tea par
ties at the White House, and was
as charming and delightful as she
always is. She is a charming per-
son and particularly well qualified
for her position. The Red Room,
where the guests were greeted by
Mrs. Harding, was just a bower Of
flowers. In fact, the whole first
floor of the Executive Mansion SEEM
ed to be abloom, for flowers were
everywhere. ...
Summer plans of President and
Mrs. Harding are still being dis
cussed and rumored. and now they"
have it that the Chief Executive will
revive a custom of the past and
spend at least part of the warm
weather in the roomy and comfort
able cottage at Soldiers Home, on
the edge of the city. President
Grant was the last occupant of the
White House, to spend any consid-
erable part of the summer there,
though President Hays and Presi-
dent Arthur remained THERE for
short periods. -s
President Cleveland started the
fashion of summer homes for the
Chief Magistrate, and he may also
be said to have been the pioneer Of
the villa life, which has developed
SO largly about Washington since
his day. The Capital City folks feel
bit aggrieved that every section
Of the country is trying to lure the
President away when he can be so
comfortable within its suburbs.
With Congress in session there
seems small chance for the Presi-
dent to do more than spend week
ends in a home at all remote, and
Mrs. Harding has never taken a
holiday unless her husband was
ready to take one, too.

Motors in United States.

Five billion passengers, or nearly
four times the 1.234,OOO,0OO revenue
passengers Of the steam railroads,
were carried by automobiles In the
United States, last year. Motor trucks
hauled 1900 million tons of freight.
or nearly half the 1854 million tons
carried by rail lines. Growth Of the
automobile business has not been COM
petitiye with the railroads, however.
Much Of it is directly tributary, as
inwbringing passengers from farm to
train and in suburban service to cities.
The 1920 motor car passenger figures
represent an increase of 400 million
owe the preceding year, and the rail-
roads showed a gain Of 60 million rev.

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER SlRES
Since Movement Was Started There
Have Bsen Many Animals and
Fowls Enrolled.

Recent figures on the enrolment OF
animals and poultry In the better
sires-better stock" campaign, which
is being supervised by the United
States department Of agriculture, show
tEat since the movement was started
IN October, 1919, there have been 174.-
1914 animals and 264,945 chickens or
other poultry enrolled. During this
time 1878 certificates Of membership
in the campaign have been issued by
the department. In order to ecu a
certificate, q stock breeder or poultry
man must fill out a blank, which is
supplied by the bureau Of animal in
dustry, stating that he will use only
purebred sires. A report recently is
sued by the department shows that
45 states and two possessions-Guam
and Porto Rico-have stock breeders
or poultrymen enrolled in the cam
paign. Virginia leads in the move
ment with 1,130 certificates issued, but
Nebraska has the largest number Of
live stock enrolled.

BLUFFED HIS WAY HOMEWARD
War Veteran, Stranded In China, Fl
naIly Got Back to the States
on His Nerve.

Earl Stanley, young American wal
hero and world traveller, walked boldly
up the gangway leading to the China
mali liner, China, while the vessel was
at HOngkOng, presented his passports
to the proper authorities, picked out
q convenient officers staterOOm and
deposited his two %suitcases. This
done, he picked out q deck chair
where he could take In his new sur
%rOundings and proceeded to make
himself at home and comfortable.
For a period of 4S hours young
Stanley enjoyed the hospitality OF the
vessel without any interference from
the Officsrs of the China. Then he was
asked where his ticket was, who he
was, whittier he was going and a lot
Of other questions.
To the first Interrogation he nom
chalantly told his interviewer that
he did not have a ticket calling for
his passage. what his name was, and
that he lived in Pasadena, Cal. with
San Francisco as his port OF bidding
adieu to the China. He also vOlun-
teered the information that he was
q student at Occidental college before
the travelling bug entered his head.
Stanley's chances of reaching his
desired destination were slim, as he
would be elected from the vessel at
n of the nearby ports, when Capt.
j. c. Daily and Robert Pitt, travel
Ing on the craft, appeared as happy
mediums. After hearing of SANKEY'S
embarrassment they quickly settled
the matter by arrangin. to pay his
passage.
Stanley was with the aviation corps
during the war and later started IN
his jaunt around the world. He suf-
fered financial reverses when Hong
kong was reached and was forced to
make the last link of his trip by the
method Gescribed-San Francisco

Shows Quality and Grades.

To be of practical use to the farmer,
the bulk Of sales quotations must be
considered with the knowledge Of what
is being offered for hogs of various
grades and qualities. Studied In this
way the bulk of sales reports are of
material value, for they show the quail
ity and grades that make up the prin-
cipal supply at any market for any
period. Bulk quotations also give a
more lucid idea of general trade con-
ditions on those sessions Of the mnr-
ket when the values from the opening
to the closing vary widely.
The Qualification and standardiza-
ton of market reports and classified
lions throughout the whole country is
one Of the big tasks on which the bu-
reau Of markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is working.
When this has been accomplished and
the livestock trade begins to grade its
~receints with reasonable uniformity
the need for bulk of sales quotations
will not be nearly SO. great as at
present.

Bulk of sales" quotations appear

~present-day market report would not
be complete without such quotations.
If the farmer confines his attention

almost sure to form q wrong opinion
of the actual market conditions, say
market specialists of the United

Bulk of sales figures should always
he studied In conjunction with the
quotations on grades which are based
on weight and quality. The bulk of
sales figures may vary widely from
day to day without indicating that the
market is unstable. This situation
frequently arises from a limited trade
in low-grade hogs on the same day
that high-grade aniPla!S are finding
ready sale. The bulk Of sales quota
ton for such q day will reach a rcla-
lively high figure. On the following
day a larger number of low-grade II
mails may be included in the sales and
the higher grades neglected, with the
result that the bulk Of sales quota
lions will be far below that Of the
preceding report. On sessions when
the average quality of the animals of
fered is low the bulk of sales report
will reflect this condition, and the
farmer who has animals ready for
shipment may be misled as to the
actual state of affairs, unless he takes
into account the other factors which
have an important bearing. Because
the bulk of sales report from u mar
ket is much lower than that from an
other city he may decide to ship his
product to the market which appears
to offer the highest prices. AS q mat
ter of fact, for the grade that he has
to offer, the market quoting the owe
bulk figures may offer the higher price
to him. 1t is undoubtedly true that
country buyers often take advantage
of low bulk of sales reports to depress
purchasing prices in their localities.
