SECRETARY LANSING HOLDS
AMBIDEXTERITY RECORD
Washington, April 13. (United
Press) Secretary of' State Lansing
holds the world's long distance am
bidexterity record. That is, he claims
it. But Secretary Baker claims it,
too. The evidence is here submitted
for public decision. Secretary Lans
ing gave an exhibition of handling
diplomatic correspondence with one
hand and dashing off enticing profiles
of charming Gibson girls with the
other, smoking a pipe the while. Sec
retary Baker signed army officers,
commissions with one hand, handed
them to a messenger with the other,
listened to his secretary read the day's
accumulation of mail and dictated re
plies, all at the same time, smoking a
pipe the while. The race is neck and
neck.
