Washington, April B.—W hi t e
House attendants knew there was due
to be a terrible 'jowl, when I'resi
dent Coo'.ldge announced be wasn't
going to do any iudiscriniate spring
handshaking this year.
The week before and the week fol
lowing Easter is the period of the
capital's greatest popularity with
tourists. A few important occasions,
like inauguration bring bigger crowds -
to the city for a day or two, but thr
jam doesn't,last so long.
The present season gave promise,
some time, ago, of bei ug a- record
breaker. ''
Hote’s all were completely "booked
up” in advance. "Personally con
ducted" agencies were snowed under
with business. The railroads 'had
their plans laid for handling at least
200,000 passengers, ip and out of
town, during the fortnight of maxi
mum activity.

All this talk scared the president.
He said—that is, the “presidential
, spokesman" did—that he could stand
. about as much as the next man. but
tfjat shaking hands with 10,066 2-3
visitors every working day for two
| weeks was too much for anybody,,
. He expressed a willingness lo have
j callers file through his office during
I specified hours, and look at him, like
a wild animal at the zoo, but he pos
, ititvely drew the line at shaking hands
. with anybody he isn't acquainted wit'o
i personally.
« * *
Just as expected, the tourists are
, roaring vociferously.
Why an eyeful of the president,
■ without taking hold of him, isn't suf
: eient is a mystery nobody can solve,
, with the exception of the average
tourist. It's a fact, however.
