President Inviolable

Theoretically, the President OF
the United States cannot be legal
ly arrested for any act whatso-
ever, even the commission of muir
der. His person is inviolable dur
ing his term of Office and he is
beyond the reach of any other de-
partment of the government, ex-
cept through impeachment. If the
President were impeached, con-
victed and removed from office he
would then be subject to arrest as
a private citizen. The President
might be arrested by mistake.

con, salads may be somewhat heav-
Ter, because the main luncheon dish
is likely to be light. Many times, a
luncheon salad is a whole meal in
itself, served with bread or crisp
rolls, a beverage, and dessert. And
there are many times in informal
luncheons and dinners, when salads
do duty for dessert.
What makes a good salad? Plenty
of crisp, fresh green's, a blend of
fruits or vegetables or fish, a zesty
dressing and a dash of color, say
the experts. To make salads appe-
tizing and refreshing, as they should
be, everything must be fresh, crisp,
and well chilled. Greens are fresh
ened in ice water for half an hour,
well drained in a salad basket or
bag, and left in the refrigerator to

for garnishing salads, and in mixed
