BACK PORCH OF WHITE HOUSE IS OPEN TO PUBLIC Hundreds of Tourists Are Greeted There Daily by President Hoover. By United Pm* WASHINGTON, April 17.—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 dally 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 1 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 appear to wave before going in to lunch. The practice was started by Mr. Hoover two weeks ago for Easter visitors. It was to have continued only a few days, but it has been so successful and pleasant that he probably will continue to receive there until the summer heat stops the tourist traffic. Not since Cleveland’s administration 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 Plrst Lady speak during the daily meetings except to say “hello,” or “glad to have you here.” The crowd is usually enthusiastic in its applause. IMBIBERS ADVISED TO GET ‘DEAD DRUNK’ Temperance Instructor Says Baser Emotions are Left Active. Bu NEA Service NEW YORK, April 17.—1f you intend imbibing in the liquid that cheers, it’s best to drink yourself unconscious rather than only partly drunk, according to W. D. Bayley, director of temperance instruction in the department of education of Manitoba, Canada, who recently spoke here. He says that the first drink paralyzes the upper brain, leaving only the cells, controlling baser emotions, active. These emotions should be drowned, he says. INSTALL NEW OFFICERS Mrs. Mary H.

DARK FUTURE IS PROMISED GIRLS SMOKING FAGS Women Garbage Collectors, Street Sweepers Next, Warns Society. By United Prett BOSTON. April 17.—The AntiSmoklng League for Women peered into the not too distant future today 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 life,” said anew 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 replaced men, not alone in office positions, but in such menial jobs as collecting garbage and sweeping streets.” Mrs. Ethel M. McLean, secretary of the league, said her business manager had figuues indicating smoking was indulged 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 league’s plan is to discourage smoking by college women.
