WILSON SWORN IN - (Contiived from Page in hand, acknowledging the acclama- tion. Arriving at the Capitol, President and Mrs. Wilson and Vice President and Mrs. Marshall were met by a spe- cial committee of Senators and Rep- resentatives and escorted to the President’s room and the Vice Presi- dent’s room, both just off the Senate chamber. Immediately afterward they .pro- ceeded under a distinguished escort of Congressmen to the Senate chamber. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Marshall were escorted to a specially prepared sec- tion of the Senate gallery, to wit- ness the ceremony of swearing in the Vice President and the new senators. Custom forbids the floor of the Sen- ate to women of all ranks. Announces “The President.” Arriving at the Senate chamber, an attendant announced: “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” President Wilson entered and, pro- ceeding to the front of the chamber, was seated before the great marble rostrum of the Vice President. Here, Senator Saulsbury of Dela- ware, president pro tempore of the Senate, administered the oath of of- fice to the Vice President. As the brief ceremony, which in- ducted her husband into the second highest office the nation can accord, was completed, Mrs. Marshall, from the gallery waved a tiny handkerchief down to the Vice President. The Vice President then assumed his chair as President of the Senate, and in turn administered the oath of fidelity to the incoming Senators, There were 32 Senators’elect or re- elected Senators to take the oath. Following the ceremonies in the Senate chamber, the President, fol- lowed by the entire company, pro- ceeded to the east portico of the capitol, where the final swearing-in of the president was to be held. A vast expanse of flag-draped stands completely covered the side of the great building. Waves of Applause. Wave after wave of applause swept the stands as 1,200 midshipmen from the United States Naval academy swung up the avenue in close forma- tion. Uncle Sam’s embryo admirals —400 more of them this year than at President Wilson’s first inaugural —were in full uniform, their heavy blue sea coats, brass buttons and white gloves presenting a striking picture. And for sea-fighters, they * found their “land legs’” very well, as line after line passed in perfect for- mation. Coming abreast of the Presidential stand, the middies saluted and re- ceived from President Wilson a cor- dial acknowledgement. Mrs. Wilson and cabinet ladies with her waved their “andkerchiefs enthusiastically. o middi~s were followed by the P-int cadet corps—700 strong —in f4ll regimental regalia. Their historic gray pea-jacket uniforms, crossed over the chest with white straps, and the tall grenadier caps, brought forth enthusiasm. Six com- panies of the young officers swept by President Wilson also greeted them cordially. Arriving on the Presidential stand the President, flanked by justices of the Supreme court, governors of states, senators and representatives, ambassadors and ministers plenipo- tentiary of foreign governments, ranking officers of the land and naval forces of the United States and mem- bers of his cabinet, received the oath CLASSIFIED WANTED PUTUUSUTUUUUUIRAS oo s VUP VPP PV VIV WANTED—To rent rooming house or hotel, furnished.

From the President’s appearance until the assembled company was seated and the chief justice rose to administer the final ceremony, con- tinuous applause swept around the stand. Hundreds of thousands of people massed the great plaza, over- flowing into the capitol grounds in a great surging sea of humanity. President Takes Office. As the President, however, facing the Chief Justice, repeated the words permitted only to the nation’s high- est, the applause seemed to die away and as the first citizen raised his hand in solemn assent, there was silence among the thousands. Soon, however, the crowd burst the leashes of reserve and as the presi- dent stepped forward to deliver his inaugural address—his second—he was forced to pause to acknowledge the tribute. Following his address, the Presi- dent, Mrs. Wilson and the Vice Presi- dent and Mrs. Marshall returned up Pennsylvania avenue at a brick gallop to the White House where they were refreshed by a light luncheon before entering the reviewing stand. At the President’s departure from the capitol, the gpeat procession started to form and move slowly westward toward the executive man- sion. “THE DARK SILENCE” “The Dark Silence,” a picture of unusual interest and timely action, featuring.Clara Kimball Young, will be the attraction at the Grand theater tonight.

The children range in age from three to'sixteen years. - Handkerchiefs. The words ‘“pocket handkerchief” have a curious history. The syllable “ker” is short for the French ‘“cou- vrir,” to cover, and *“‘chief” is nothing else but “chef,” the head. Kerchiefs were used also for the neck, and that made them neckerchiefs. Finally when they became what they now are and were carried in the kand they expand- ed into handkerchiefs. Then when pockets were invented and worn in the time of Queen Elizabeth the term pocket handkerchief came into use. The word *“‘pocket” is nothing but a form of the old Saxon word *‘poke.” a bag or pouch combined with the di- minutive “et."—New York World. — MEDITATION.
