Great Throngs At White House Precautions Taken That New Year’s Reception Be Not Too Fatiguing on President. ■Washington, Jan. 1.— President Coolidge began the new year by undergoing probably the greatest physical strain which Is placed upon the chief executive's—the new year's reeept ion. Precautions had been taken against a repetition of the most severe strain placed upon President and Mrs. Haid ing on New Year's day, 1922. when approximately 8,000 persons, ranging from high officials to humblest prl vate citizens, called at the executive mansion to wish the chief executive and first lady a happy new year and to shake their hands. No reception was held last year because of Mrs. Harding's health. Three hours and a half only were alloted today for the reception, be ginning at 11 o'cloek with the mem bers of the cabinet and diplomatic corps and ending at 2:30 o'clock with the last of the private citizens who desired to brave the chill winds of a real wlntgr day to grasp the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge and extend their best wishes. Arrangements were made to receive the guests In the Blue room with the president and Mrs. Coolidge attended only by the two presidential aides. All government departments were closed for the day and governmental business was at a standstill. The public began forming In line at 9:30 o'clock, nearly four hours before the time set for the public recepUon. By the time the cabinet members and their wives reached the White House at 11 o'clock the public line stretched half a block up Penn sylvania avenue from the northwest entrance to the White House grounds. As usual, women outnum bered the men about three to one. Snow Blanket in Idaho. Boise, Idaho, Jan. 1.—Central Idaho Is covered with a blanket of snow which varies In depth from* four inches In this city to 25 inches In the mountains, according to figures given out by the weather bureau last evening. The snow was not accom panied by a cold wave, however. The weather bureau reports that 20 inches of snow fell at Atlanta. Idaho, and 25 inches at the Banner mine, 50 miles from here. Only an inch of snow is reported at Twin Falls, Idaho. Zero Weather Brings Distress Free Shoe Waiting List Grows as Cutting Winds Blow. "Happy New Year!"

Hog mafket pare flooded, the corn surplus of 1921, was turned into an equally burdensome supply of pork and since last spring hog producers have not been making enough to cover production costs, the report declared. Most of the drop In wholesale prices was absorbed by the retailers, the report assorted, but said that there Is some indication of an improvement In the market soon, adding that It Is doubtful If any slight Increase in wholesale prices will re flect on retail prices. • Two-thlrds of the business of Switzerland Is In the production of luxury goods to bo sold to other parts nf the world. for cold jOcU weather If you have been experimenting with cheap coal you will welcome this selection of “quality" coals at a moderate price.

JA ckson 3012 414 South 15th Street New York —Day by Day— By o. o. McIntyre New York, Jan. 1.—Men age In New York after the same fashion. They look much alike after 50—especially those of the old regime who are seen about the clubs In the late afternoon. Their closely clipped mustaches are of the same white. They are groom ed in the same impeccable style. Somehow one gets the idea they are de-idealized and have a sort of acrid contempt for youth. There is not the softness the elders used to display toward growing young men in small towns. They are aloof and dis tinguished. Their sons move away to clubs or bachelor apartments after college and the contact is casual. Perhaps a cocktail or a Scotch and soda at the club. They are called "Governor’’ and. while there ia a well-bred fa miliarity, It Is extremely formal. The modern father in New York, seems to be one who has had his fling. There is a fleeting glimpse of having been once a gay old dog and having emerged unscathed, he hopes for the best for his son. lie seems to know there Is danger but prefers to restrain filial advice. If the son has good stuff he will weather the storm. Mothers, too, show a diffidence. They receive their sons very formally —always by telephone appointment. There are polite pecking kisses; trif ling banalities are discussed some what in the manner of strangers. Yet somehow they seem to keep track of each other. There are no sons apparently who drift away never to be heard of again. While there is no noticeable fervor of affection there Is loyalty. These relationships seem odd to those whose family ties are close knit. It Is di^ tinctly New Yorklsh. Parents nowadays are estimable exponents of the new age. They ac cept the new freedom of youth with stoicism. Sometimes I wonder If they would not be happier returning to the old days where sons and dauglv tera grouped about the family table, exchanged confidence and slept in the same house. Perhaps old fogyism has gripped me. In these hectic days of Jazz and petting parties I long for flashes of sheer femininity among young girls, I was at a home the other day when a girl of IS with her hair cut like a boy’s came slam-banglng In. She had lighted a cigarette in the hall imi greeted her uncle—a man mar 60—with “Hello, old bean!" it ia ilifficult to see how such a type could ever fasrinate a Rood man. To me she was a little vulgarian. The bigness of New York was 11 lustrated on a subway train the other day. Eight guards manning an eight car train have been riding together for four month*. No one knew th. names of the others. (Copyrlsht. i»:«.) January White Sale Continues Wednesday Due to the inclement weather Monday, many shoppers were unable to attend our January White Sale.
