family, accompanied by their wives,
will dine with the Chief Executive
and the first lady of the land with all
the formality of the occasion. Others
in official and diplomatic life will
visit the White House at ten o'clock
on the same evening for a musicale
given in the famous East Room.
Noted artists and musicians come to
Washington especially engaged for
the private concert. The first recep-
tion will be held November Is, which
is considerably early in the social
season. This change of dates is ex-
planned in the fact that the retiring
administration leaves office March 4,
which allows little time for the four
receptions not including the public
reception on New Years day, when
the general public calls to pay its
respects to the President and his lady.
These affairs are sources of delight
for the socially ambitious and Wash
ington is crowded with this class of
climbers.

Need Not Leave Country.
Secretary of Labor ]. ]. Davis who
recently made a trip to Europe, also
the Scandinavian countries, for the
purpose of studying conditions in the
lands which furnish immigrants to
the United States, the other day said
in a speech that conditions in Sweden
were so generally excellent that there
is no necessity of young Swedish men
and women leaving their home land
for America. They are welcome in
the United States, he said, for Amer
leans have always appreciated the fine
values of the Swede, but he thought
that in many cases Swedes would not
profit by exchanging their present
conditions at home with the struggles
for existence almost necessary in a
new country. And he made no such
statement concerning other countries

efficient of all.violin builders, namely,
C. H. Friberg. He is a patrolman
having a regular beat on the streets
of the Swedish capital, but spends
all his spare time in making violins,
and he has recently received offers
of $4,000 per violin from artists in
the United States. He has, however,
declined them. Among the artists

Died i'm North Alaska.
Word comes from Juneau that three
members of the Danish-Canadian
North Alaska exploration journey, ar
ranged by Erling and Thorbj0rn Pors-
lid, have died in North Alaska. The
dead men are John Horribly and his
two nephews whose names are not
given. Whether they froze or starved
to death has not been made clear.
The reports so far received lack many
details, but they do indicate that the
expedition has been otherwise sue
cessful. Apparently Horribly and his
nephews were assigned to make a
side trip to regions around the Mac

Heart Beats.

The bigger the body the slower does
the heart beat. The elephants heart
beats only rs times a minute; that
of a donkey so times. The normal
rate is 20 for men, 80 for women, 80

$50 for a rabbit, and It's for mouse.
Activity speeds up the beating of the

avoid oily, greasy food and

reward will be an improved condi-
