Every week the President and Mrs. Hard ing give either a state dinner or a state reception and every week some cabinet officer has dinner planned for MT. and Mrs. Harding, And every week has parties planned for the Vice President and Mrs, Cool idge. for the Chief Justice and Mrs. William Howard Taft, for some of the cabinet officers, both by and for some of the diplomats, not to men, tion dozens and dozens of functions given both by and for resident mem bers of society.
 In addition to all this gayety the few members of the various confer ence missions who are still finger ing in the city are entertaining and being entertained. For instance, on Monday, last, the minister of Sweden anu Mme. " allenDeTB gave ulHii<r party in compliment to Arthur James Balfour and Vice Admiral Kato had dinner party.

DEATH LURKS IN EVERY SIP, SAYS
 FEDERAL AGENT
By AssecIated Press

Louisville. J9huary 2s.-"The face on the barroom floor should be a skull with crossbones under it these days" declares George H. Blincoc, federal prohibition agent.
 Death turks in white corn liquor" he says. Tt all contains fusel oil, one of the most deadly poisons. First run moonshine is rank poison yet the moonshiner who makes the stuff first shots it is called by the legit- imate dstiller. doesn't trouble him self to distill again. but sells it as it is for drinking purposes"
 Double distillation and ageing in charred barrels for at least four days Is necessary to remove the fusel oil, Mir. Blincoe says. Stss,s
 "No moonshine I have ever seen in my experience as prohibition en- forcement officer has been aged, The bootleggers motto seem to be 'ful speed ahead and never safety first.

other five years" It's citizens say proudly. "we shall have a capital worthy of a nation of 13.ooo.oo0 peo- pls and a city that will attract Euro peans."
 It is . city of strong contrasts. Tn the heart of the business, banking and shopping sections the visitor Sees many peasants, herdsmen and hand made farm carts drawn by the im- memorial Ok.
 An American visitor was startled to see an aged exsoldler carrying a coffin on his back through the crowd ed shopping district of the capital. It was explained that theiSerbian un- dertskers made their deliveries of cof- fins to their patrons in this fashion. Such incongruities are constantly to be seen in the capital.

Washington Society

R dinner given by Senator and MrA Arthur Capper and a luncheon given
 by the counselor of the Polish le- gation and Mime. Kwapiszenska, both for the Mersdiths.
 The most interesting dance per
 haps of tho week was that given
 Monday evening. The Washington cctillon, which was preceded by Many, many dinner parties. The cotillon was formed last winter and
 was a complete success and Mon
 days party was the first they have
 given here this winter. The same 1 evening the Georgetown assembly gave one of their series of four
 dances, The assembly is a dance or ganization that was in full swing when Washington was a wilderness and Georgetown was a flourishing city and for several. generations the
 members of the same families have
 attended these functions which are very select. They are attended by people who, though not all so rich, have been prominent socially for the
 last 75 years or more.
 The third cabinet officer, the Sec Tetary of War, and his wife, enter tained for the President at dinner Wednesday evening asking a number or out-ot-toWn people Tor the func- ton, as is the general custom at these dinners nowadays. Once upon time only cabinet members and
 their ladies were asked to these
 dinners, but they soon grew tired of dining with each other and finally
 some brave soul broke the rule and
 asked others to their dinner and
 now these entertainments are of more varying interest. The next day
 President and Mrs. Harding had their second state reception, the Judiciary
 being the guests honored. The Att torney General, Harry M. Daugherty.
 received with the hosts, and inciden- tally, it was his birthday anniver- sary. Of course. the justices and their families were received first
 while few chosen ones" gathered in the blue room early and watched
 the guests file past the chief execu- tive and first lady and enjoyed other
 such privileges while main groups
 or guests stood in line for ages and filed slowly upstairs and in and out of several rooms to their hosts, then into the east room for a chat or for friends and then home.
 This administration, unlike the
 Tafts and Wilson's, do not have any suppers at these entertainments and they are all more or less alike, the main body of the guests being differ ient.
