They added that their record |over the last 10 years will be forgotten | I their forecast for March 4 is incor- rect. They do not intend to take such 'a chance with the proverbially fickle March weather in the Capital. They were willing, however, to delve | deep into the records of past inaugural days to attempt to deduce some “dope” | from which the probabilities might be | forecast. They found that if March 4 lives up to the record set by inaugurals stretching back to that of Abraham Lincoln in 1861, the day is more than likely to be fair, with no rain. They held no hope, however, that it would not be like that of the Taft inaugural of 1909, when nearly 10 inches of snow | fell on the Capital | . Only on two inaugural days since | 1857 has there been snow. Nine other inaugural days have been satisfactory, even though the sun failed to break | through lowering clouds in some cases, |and six other inaugural days have had ! inclement weather. ~ Wind and Snow in 1893. March 4, 1893, opened with a tht]‘ snow, soon changing to a heavy fall,| with brisk northwesterly winds and | rapidly falling temperature. Although | the snow ended at 12:50 p.m. the high | winds kept up, reaching 36 miles an| hour. The minimum temperature was | given as 24 degrees, and the precipita- | tion was registered as eight-tenths| inches of snow. | ‘The Taft inaugural of March 4, 1909, brushed aside all records for unpleasant- | ness. A heavy blanket of snow, which was recorded officially as 9.8 inches deep fell. Although the snowfall ended at 12:20 p.m. it succeeded in making the day thoroughly disagreeable. The sec- ond Wilson inaugural day fell on a Sunday, and was celebrated on Monday. A brisk, cold wind swept up Pennsy vania avenue, raising from the pave-| ment a fine sand which had been | sprinkled over the thoroughfare to neu- tralize the rain which had fallen the previous day. The last two preceding | inaugurals have been pleasant, sun- shiny days. Complete Record Given to 1861.

Exceedingly bad flying weather in all | the Atlantic coastal region and eéven west of the mountains today threatened to play havoc with the plans for a large military and commercial aerial program beginning Saturday and con- tinuing through next Tuesday in con- nection with the inauguration day cere- monies. Bolling Field, as a result of the re- cent heavy snow and subsequent rains, is a morass and all flying there has been canceled. There is no prospect of real drying weather before Saturday, according to officers at the fleld. Capt. Albert W. Stevens, one of the | Army Air Corps most noted photo- graphic experts, who was to have flown here yesterday from Dayton, Ohio, to make an official aerfal pictorial record of the inaugural events by day and night, was held at Wright Field be- cause of dangerous weather conditions over the mountains. No commercial planes have come in and all the Army squadrons which were ordered to send planes here are hold- ing their pilots awaiting clearer skies Unless there is a decided improve- ment in weather conditions immedi- ately it is likely that the aerial dem- onstration scheduled for Saturday afternoon, in which commercial military planes were to participal be called off.
