President and Mrs. Harding ap-
peared none the worse physically to-
day after the strenuous part they
took yesterday in the New Year re-
ception at tho White House.
Both naturally were somewhat ia
tigued after the five hours of stand
ing in the blue room as the 6.5I6 per-
sons were received by them. Each
person was personally introduced by
either Col. c. o. Sheriff.. U. .. A.
or Commander Halston Holmes. U.
8. n. personal aides to the Presi-
dent, who alternated in the duty OF
making the introductions. To each
the President and Mrs. Harding gave
a real handskake and a cheery word
or two OF greeting.
Orders Receiving Continued.
The reception lasted an hour longer
than was anticipated. but when tne
hour set by the schedule for it's con.
clusion arrived and the President
learned that there still was long,
shtycring line outside. he gave orders
that the reception should continue
until the last person was receiVea.
Both the President and the nrst
lady" seemed to derive as much happi,
ness from the great occasion as did
the thousands of persons so cordially
received by them. According to init
mates Of the President and Mrs. Hard
ing, 1t probably was due to this happl-
ness and satisfaction on their own
parts that they failed to take any
especial mental note Of the magnitude
Of the physical task. AS the after
noon wore on and the line gave no
signs OF ending soon. Mrs Harding
commenced to alternate in the use OF
her hands Her gloves no longer were
white and the swelling in her right
hand. which she had used mostly, was
very perceptible.
Easy to BestOw Happiness.
Some idea Of just how the President
felt regarding the renewal OF TINS
popular annual White House custom
can be taken from his answer 10 one

IMPROVED HOLIDAY
ACTIVITY IS SHOWN
Boards Review, However,
Indicates Manufactures
Not Satisfactory.

Improvement in the holiday busi-
ness activity OF December over the
corresponding period last year. which
is test OF soundness of proceed
ing business activity" Is shown in the
Federal Reserve Boards monthly re-
view of the economic situation of the
United States, issued last night.
Manufacturing conditions, however,
are not satisfactory. the board re-
ported, there being a decrease Of ac-
tiyity in the iron and steel industry,
while textiles showed little change
from previous months. Uncertainty
exists as to the future of the cloth
ing industry, the board said, due to
| labor disturbances and the continued
demand of consumers for lower
prices.
Freight Rates Disturbing Factor.
The board also said freight rates
continued as disturbing factor, due
to the belief that reductions already
announced as affecting some COM
modities may be much more widely
extended in the near future"
Trade in the agricultural districts
had been discouraged. the board con-
tinued. because Of relatively lower
prices for cereals and cotton, which
had resulted in retarding the process
OF liquidating frozen loans. Hardware
anu Icldltu lines also were SAID to
be in an unsatisfactory condition, but
wholesale prices are showing in
creased stability"
Unemployment conditions were re-
ported by the board as but little
changed.
European Exchanges Improve.
"A decided Improvement in European
exchanges the board said, has tended
| to some extent to help the foreign trade
situation during the month of Decem-
Der, but the extreme caution in the ex-
tension of back credits. which was pre-
viously SO noticeab BILE phase of our
foreign trade. still continued Export
figures indicate a still further decline
Of activity in staples, while imports
show an advance.
Disturbed conditions in various coun-
tries OF Europe still render a mainte-
nance of business relations with them
uncertain and hazardous. Rates of in
terest, which had already made a noto-
BILE decline during the autumn, have
tended, on the whole. still farther down.
ward. partly owEig to the fact that
there was no foreign outlet for our cap

Reviews Shipping Industry.
Reviewing the year in the shipping
industry, the board declared that the
industry has been through most diff
ficult period, in which many OF the
weaker operators have been forced out
Of business as a result of greatly re-
Guced freight rates, smaller available
cargoes and continued high costs of op-
Grafton. This condition has been world
wide, although American companies
have felt in special degree the handicap
of higher scales of wages than their for
eign competitors have been obliged TO
pay"

Striking Mortality Figures.

NEW YORK. January 3. - New

Commissioner Copeland declared.
The general death rate in 1921 was
11.17 per tlousand-a new city record

effect Of the drop OF practically two
points from last year means that S.9a2
persons are alive who would have died
under the conditions Of 1920. Fifty years
ago the rate was so per thousand.
Even more striking was the de cline in
the infant death rate from So in 1920

Dams Are British Monument.

While the Nile Is the source Of all
life in Egypt it is also the source Of Il
great danger. If the flood fails to
reach certain point famine results;
If it passes another point the country
is ruined by floods. In olden days
when there was a superabundance Of
water one year the farmer could only
build few dykes and pray to Allah
for the hest; if next year there was a
shortage of water-well, It was Allahs
will. Britain changed all that with its
