BACK PORCH OF
WHITE HOUSE IS
OPEN TO PUBLIC
! Hundreds of Tourists Are
Greeted There Daily by
President Hoover.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
back porch of the White House
may become as famous as the front
porch at Marion where Warren G.
Harding received his friends.
President Hoover has adopted it
as a daily meeting place with the
public and the prospects are, his
advisers say, the new practice will
continue indefinitely.
Each day at noon, from 200 TO 500
persons, mostly tourists, come to the
rear White House gate. Many OF
them are brought by sightseeing
guides.
They are permitted to roam
through the beautiful gardens Of
the private grounds.
At ! p. m. they assemble behind
police lines in front of the spacious
balcony in the rear Of the executive
mansion.
There Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover ap-
pear TO wave before going in TO
lunch.
The practice was started by Mr..
Hoover two weeks ago for Easter
visitors.
1t was to have continued only a
few days, but it has been so sue
cessful and pleasant that he prob
ably will continue to receive there
until the summer heat stops the
tourist traffic.
Not since Cleveland's adminlstra-
ton have such public receptions
been held at the White House. The
rear gate always has been barred
to the public.
Neither the President nor the
First Lady speak during the daily
meetings except to say hello" or
glad to have you here" The crowd
is usually enthusiastic in its ap-
plause.

DARK FUTURE is
PROMISED GIRLS
SMOKING FACS
Women Garbage Collectors,
Street SWeeperS Next,
Warns Society.

BIZ United Press
BOSTON, April 1.-THE Anti
Smoking League for Women peered
into the not too distant future to-
day and professed to see women
collecting garbage and cleaning
streets unless the wave of cigaret
smoking by women is checked.
"a thinking man should know
that women who desire to smoke
and to acquire masculine traits
sooner or later will displace
men in all walks OF Iife," said a new
pamphlet to be distributed by the
organization, "and in so doing will
create lower levels and standards
for themselves"
This movement in time will
bring about great rivalry between
the sexes in this country as in
Europe, where women have re-
placed men, not alone in Office po-
sitions, but in such mental jobs as
collecting garbage and sweeping
streets"
Mrs. Ethel M. Mclean, secretary
of the league, said her business
manager had figures indicating
smoking was INDUCED in by half
the women of the United States.
The league plans to ask motion
picture producers to eliminate as
much as possible scenes showing
women smoking.
Part of the leagues plan is to
discourage smoking by college
women.
