| OLD people, DOtn DldcK ana WHIT
There were not as many as filed
| through year before last on a bitterly
cold Gay to shake hands with Presi-
dent Harding. Only about 1000 were
received Tuesday, including the diplo-
mats and Government officials. But
there has been a good deal of talk
about the strain that continuous hand
shaking imposes. This kept many
away this year,
Apparently No Strain
The reception apparently was no
strain on either the President Of his
wife, as had been feared. The Presi-
lent took a long walk afterward, and
remarked he felt no i'll effects from
the long stand, adding. with a smile,
he and Mrs. Coolidge had frequently
received 5000 people or more when he
was Governor OF Massachusetts. He
looked particularly fit and fresh and
cheerfully pulled on a long cigar as
he strolled through the fashionable
residential section Of the city after
the reception.
Mrs. Coolidge's hand was noticeably
red as the last person departed, 1t IS
true, but this was due to her good
nature in giving her guests a real
handshake.
First Lady JoviaI
She was particularly jovial, and
many in the line stopped for a mo-
ment to chat with her. Several visit
ors commented on her appearance.
She was very attractive in a gorgeous
dress of brocaded chiffon, with its
bright red background and navy blue
pattern.
Both the President and his wife
seemed to enjoy the reception. The
President reached down to speak to
the children in the line. His two boys,
( Calvin. Jr.. and John, walked about
among the crowd, watching their
father and mother and talking with
the younger members of the diplo-
matte group. who fingered about.
. Some 400 people came very near
missing the reception. The line had
apparently all passed through the

to end he and Mrs. Coolidge came
back downstairs and received the late
arrivals.
People Come Early
The people began to come early.
and a number stood IN line outside
II the White House for a long time IN
the cold. Because Of his 81 years, one
visitor. Mai. Carl Loeffler, formerly an
attendant at the White House. was
/ given q place at the front Of the line.
The reception to the diplomats and

Anthropology and allied "skull-testng "
sciences will soon become ancient and IT.
relevant matters of history unless the anthro-
biologists can put stop to the hopeless dr.
visions which, of late, have been appearing
so frequently in their theories. Prof. Franz
Boas, of Columbia University, recently put
dent into some congratulated theories as
to racial supremacies. And now, bless our
hearts, here comes DR.. Ales Hrdlicka. anoth-
er eminent anthropologist, and cautions the
innocent world against accepting the theory
of high" and "low;' brows as marks OF SUI
periority or inferiority, respectively.
Says Dr. Hrdlicka: Long harrow heads
with high sloping foreheads, are currently
supposed to denote high intelligence and
low, broad foreheads with rounded craniums
similarly low degree Of mentality. This is
absolutely, a fallacy, and scientists are now
convinced that such characteristics have no
bearing on mans mind. Five years ago.
even the scientific world accepted such a
theory. Later Investigations proved the
theory to be without foundation, although it
