Fair Weather Promised.

For both tonight and tomorrow the
weather man today promised fair
weather. He promised that the tenn
perature this evening would not drop
below % and said tomorrow would
be slightly warmer. with a temper
ature possibly a trif1e above freez-
ing. BY comparison with the last
few days. such a temperature would
be almost comfortable. particularly
to those who viii stand in line at
the White House, waiting to shake
hands with the President and Mrs.
Coolidge.
Nothing out of the ordinary has
been arranged for observing New
Year eve at the White House to-
night. In all probability the Presi
dent will not even remain up to
greet the arrival of 1925. Last New
Year eve he retired before II o'clock.
1t is thought that the President
will follow his nightly custom of re-
tiring for the night shortly after 10
o'clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns of
Boston. intimate friends Of the Cool
idges, who spend considerable time at
the White House during the Winter
months. returned to Washington to-
day after spending the Christmas
holidays at their Boston home. Be
sides two or three other close friends
who have been asked to drop in
during the evening they will be the
only guests at the White House to-
night.

Will Visit Grandfather.

Plymouth, Vt. where he will visit his
grandfather, Col. John c. Coolidge
for several days before returning to
Amherst College.
Anticipating a strenuous day tomor-
row, the President made no formal
enga gements today. 1t was his inten-
ton TO give his undivided attention
to the study of some OF the more i'm
portant pending matters. He did,
however, receive Senator Smoot Of
Utah, who had several friends from
New York, who are visiting here and
who were anxious to meet the EIecu-
tive before returning. The President
also received Representative Line
berger, who wanted to present a con-
stituent. He also conferred with Sec
retary Of War Davis.
Arrangements have been made by
the White House force for an un-
usually large number of persons at
tomorrow's reception. With a prom
Use of clear weather and a higher
temperature, the indications are that
the public will turn out in grand
style and large numbers to shake the
hand of the President and the first
lady and to exchange the seasons
greetings.
Is Democratic Custom.
Because of the cosmopolitan and
democratic nature of this reception,
which has been a White House ira
dition since there was a White House,
it is looked upon by the older resi-
dents of the city and the older at
taches at the White House as the
most interesting and most colorfuI
of all the functions held through
out the year at the White House.
Because of the conglomerate nature
of those who file along the receiving
lines on these occasions, when the
humblest and poorest rub elbows
with affluence and prominence, the
New Year reception Is typically
American.
With only a few exceptions recep.
tions have been held annually by
Presidents since Washington's time.
He and Martha Washington intro
tive Mansion in New York John
Adams, the first occupant of the White
House, followed the custom. It was
Andrew Jackson, however, who intro.
duced the public feature of these re.
ceptions. Formerly the guests had
been invited or else they were present
because of the position they occupied
But the real democracy on such occa.
sions was brought about by "Old
Hickory" the first New Year day he
was in the White House, when he
threw open the doors to any and all
who wished to come within and ex
change greetings with him.
Record Held by Roosevelt.
Theodore Roosevelt's last New Year
reception, in 1909, holds the record for
the largest attendance. On that occa.
sion mora than 10 600 persons xvere IN
the long line. President Hardings s
first reception. in 1921. drew. more
than $500. There were 1900 at last
years reception and 1890 the preced.
ing year.
The President and the First Lady
personally shake hands with each one
in the line. This is no small physical
task. After President Harding's first
reception his right hand was limp and
swollen and he said he never had ex.

President Coolidge, according to his
friends, has always stood for the prin-
cipies cnunciatcd in his Omaha speech.
His public record shows that he has
displayed broad and liberal views upon
religious and race questions. During
the last Presidential campaign he
demonstrated this when the Ku Kluy
klan movement was mt its height and
when it might have affected his party's
success by accepting an invitation 10

in Washington and making Il speech
that breathed the doctrine of religious
and racial freedom, the despatch con
tinues.
Those in charge Of the Republican
campaign awaited the effects of the
Presidents action with concern and
breathcd easier when the dcmoustra-
tiOn was over The President made
this decision against the advice Of some
Of his counselors. and, strange to say.
there was no protest made by rlle Ku
KluN Klan, although the organization
was active in the campdicn -. tH1aJ
Those who presume TO he Informed
Of the conduct OF The last Presidential
campaign say that il was by direct or
ders of the White House that the Klan
isslle was ignored at the Cleveland con
vention. but the platform contained a
plank, which some say that the prcsi,
dent wrote. that read:7 tir,. r.,.
THE Republican Party rcalirms its

people without being connected with II

While the klan movement in the
opinion Of the President. is growing
weaker, yet he felt called upon tn lay
before the people his ideas with the
hope that he might he able to lessen the
religious and racial strife. He has now
defined in a strong way the Admnisira-
toms attitude toward the Klan. Re

A Year of Sisterhood Progress
Annual Reports of WOmens Religious Bodies Show Con
tinued Increased Activity For Judaism.

The National Federation of Temple
Sisterhoods has, during the past year,
shown continued advance in those ad-
mirablc activities that have marked
its work since its origin More and
more, the Sisterhoods, together with
other women's clubs throughout the
country are assuming leadership in
community social work and cultural
undertakings, in addition to their spe-
cial religious program. The growth of
the organization has been both in
ward and outward; the net of local
activities has not prevented the fur
thering of district, city and state
unions, allowing for discussion and
cooperation in those problems that
are of more general interest.
District Cooperation
In Cincinnati, Ohio, the Sisterhoods
have regular district meetings, and
under this combined form of activity.
they have held number of social en-
tertainments as part of the Univer-
sity Welfare work, and completed
and dedicated the Dormitory. The
Memorial and Tribute Fund, aided by
the money received from the sale of
Uniongrams, provides scholarship
for Hebrew Union College. An addi-
tional scholarship was offered last
year in memory of the chairman.
Adeline Pollack, and third is Of
fered by the Plum Street Temple Sis
terhood. Other funds are the A''ar

Sisterhoods of the city finance the
services of Sabbath School teacher
at the Foster. Home. ..II #.
The Bay City, Michigan, Sisterhood
maintains Community Sabbath
School. The funds for the holiday en-
tcrtainments and programs are OBJ
tanned by raffies, rummage sales, sup
pers, etc. Next year it is hoped to
have a Post-Confirmation class. The
weekly meetings of the Winnipeg.
Canada, Sisterhood, have been ad
dressed by religious and political
leaders The Hospital and Entertain
ment Committees have carried no
their work among the needy and sick.
The Sunday School staff has been in
creased by five teachers and two sec
retaries. The Sisterhood of Welch,
W. Va, of which Mrs. Moses Hyman
is president, and Mrs. D. Scott, vice
president, was host for the Norfolk

Federation last November Charity
donations to various institutions
the country amounted to
approximately $500. In Canton, Ohio.

and one program each month. A
bazaar, held last December, netted
81 800. The Temple Israel Sisterhood
