On this Monday, April 18, 1921, Edith Barnett, who had died serving as an American nurse in far off Siberia, was remembered with a tombstone marked in English and Russian. She had died of Typhus while serving as a Red Cross nurse there.

Ontario voted, in a plebiscite, to ban the sale and importation of alcohol by a 60% margin. An attempt at repealing the ordinance the following year by the same means failed.

President Harding seems to have had a busy day greeting groups.
Harding with Community House Kids. I'm not sure who they were, but it appears to probably be a church based group.
Harding and Women's Commission for World Disarmament. The group obviously did not succeed in its goals.
Gen. Herbert Lord of the Quartermaster Corps received an award consisting of draft horseshoes.
I don't know the actual occasion, but it may have been recognizing his service which was principally in administering its budget. He'd go on to occupy the position of head of the OMB, although under a different title at the time, in the Harding Administration.
