APPROVAL OF

Washington, April 14.—President
Wilson believes the tariff bill meets
the general approval of the country,
that no healthy business will be in-
terrupted, and that although in
most cases the cost of living will
not be immediately reduced, the
consumer will feel at once the bene-
fit in the sugar duty. These views
were expressed by the president in
an open talk with newspaper men.
He explained that his main reason
for desiring a reduction on sugar
was that the consumer deserved it.

Snapshot pictures of the wives of cabinet officers show them somewhat, different from those for
which they pose in galleries. When Uie women of the cabinet and some of those in Washington so-
ciety gave Mrs. Wilson a breakfast the camera man was on hand. He caught the guests as they gore
entering and leaving. The occasion was the first public appearance of Mrs. William B. Wilson, wife
of the secretary of labor. The breakfast won much attention because of the absence of Mrs. Ohamp
Clark, wife of the speaker of the House. Mrs. Olark knew that Mrs. Bryan was to be on hand,
and she also knew that her husband and Mrs. Bryan's husband have not spoken since the Baltimore
convention. Washington society suspects this had something to do with her absence Mrs Matthew
T. Scott, president of the D. A. R., presided at the breakfast in place of Mrs. John W. Kern, wife
of the Indiana senator and leader of the Senate.
