‘WOES OF WORLD’ ARE BROUGHT TO PRESIDENT Lends Sympathetic Ear to All and Offers His Consolation. WASITIXGTON’, \pril 28 —History fails t<- reoorJ in the- many volumes entitled 'Lives of the Presidents,” one fa< tor that serves to make their ‘'lives” jump) with annoyance. This factor the, she or it, as the case may be) is that of the lurdeubParers, mho daily, and often tgbtly, back into the White House, then to l.teraliy “dump” th ir burden onto the shoulders of the chief executive. More woes and petty griefs are consigned to the President. often by special del'.veiy and more often by personal delivery, than fall to the lot of the most pestered men of the Nation. They run la from all walks of life. Many have legitimate burdens ro unload. Some appear to be under the impression that the way In which to win the President’s Immediate favor Is to permit him o Incline his ear to personal griefs. The President lends a sympathetic ear to all and seldom fails to offer a well phrased consolation or an assurance that ‘‘pronto’* consideration will be given the complaint. Tho complaint passes out one door and then Pat McKenna, guardian angel (without wings) calls cut ‘Next!’ and another "wronged citizen” marches In to lay before the President the collected fragments of varied grievances long endure <l. N’ot long ago a New Jersey delegation appeared at the White House and presented a petition demanding reinstatement of an official who had been removed from a lesser post In official Ilfs on the ground that tie was a victim of politics. The delegation was soothed and told that the President was engaged at that moment and that their petition would be presented to the President that same day. Unappeas and by the sauve and kindly administering of soft words from the itps of Pat McKenna, the deleea ion swore before the seven gods of Tarqu'a and Keratins at the Bridge that they would not leave Washington until they had seen the President la person and presented their grievance In their own inimitable way. They were still in town at ia?t reports. A woman polltl-an wbre hobby In life appears t . be that of collecting and presenting petitions recently Invaded the Executive precincts of “the mansion" an the vest end of the avenue” and, well-knowing from experience, culled from year- t petit: c-presenting, that she was going to encounter questioning and eross-examlniatlon If she tried to put her petition through the regular channel, chose 'ns’ead to stand In the visitors’ line and show- the petition into the President’s hand when it came her turn to salute him. Secretary Christian later squinted at the petit!, n, sighed in the key of lew “D" and sent the bulky document over to the Department of Justice, where Is belonged. Congressmen are among the wors- offenders—ln fact, the majority of them are Incorrigible. They are more readily forgiven, however, for, after all. It is their task to watch out for the welfare of their constituents. That Is, If they Intend, at the same time, to watch out for themselves. The imposing list of appointments on

the President's dally schedule would suggest conferences with many great personages. But few are fooled with the imposing list. It usually is that some Senator finds It Incumbent upon himself to present in person to the President Mr. j and Mrs. John Doe and the four little Does, who have come all the way from : ■'Homeville” to shake hands with President Harding and to inspect Government I machinery as she machinates in the national capital. In addition to special visitors pre- I sented by Senators and other high Government officials, there is the “one o'clock army,” which mobilizes In the j presidential anteroom every day an hour ! or two ahead of time, and marks step ill 1 at ease until It Is ordered to fall in and • please do not conver- 3 at length with the President because you will block the line." President Harding takes his posl- ; tlon near the door of the executive office end becomes for the period of fifteen j minutes the final word in 'courtesy. Asa result every one leave* the presl- - dentlal presence filled with a glow of j good feeling, not to mention the smattering of patriotism that somehow, despite I the rush and crush of business that envelops the White House executive office, ! persists in pervading the atmosphere of■ ! the great white mansion, whose corrl- j 1 dors have achoed to the tread of Wilson, Roosevelt, Grant and the peerless Idn!coin. | If courtesy and patience are virtues j which parents and school teachers . ' throughout the land seek to instill In the i budding generation, they could find no j g-eater gohoolhouse of courtesy and patience than that which is mulr.taiued at ’ ' the White House by the “faculty’* of ' secretaries, guards, secret service men i and attaches. j DANDERINE Stops Hair Coming Out; Thickens, Beautifies (lj)g TJk < £ V : ’j 35 cents buys a bottle of “Danderine" a* any drug store.
