) > > WAS WASHINGTON FIRST PRESIDENT? Otbers Preceded “Father of His Country” in Ollice P George Washington was not the first president of this country. Not only that, but Connecticut, which has never been considered as the mother of a president, gave one to the coun- try before Washington was inaugu- rated. Just who was the first presi- dent is a matter for argument, but of the three men who may be spoken of as qualifying for the honor not one is the immortal Washington. The trio are Peyton Randolph, John Hancock, and Henry Laurens, lead- ers in an almost forgotten period of American history, Paradoxically, that . Washington was the first president of the “United States of America” cannot be de- nied, yet the assertion that he was not the first president of this country is founded just as solidly on fact. The *“catch” lies in the fact that the colonies declared their independence of England in 1776, while it was not until 1789, 13 years later, that Washington was inaugurated. He was the first “president of the United States” when the governmental unit under that name was set up by the constitution, but there had been other presidents during the preceding 13 years of freedom. These were presidents of the continental con- gress and as such held the highest civil office within the power of the united colonies to bestow. Dozen Leaders Before Washington There were more than a dozen presidents during the period between the declaration of independence and the establishment of the actual “United States of America.” The dispute as to just which of these should be called. our first president ix grounded on the perlexing ques- tion of just when this country began its separate existence, .Three cases may be made out, each with logic behind its assertion, To look into this matter it is necessary to go back 1o the days before the American Revolution and trace the origin of this nation from that time, 1r the early 1770's the friction be- tween the colonists and the home government in London was ap- proaching the point where a spark would inevitably be struck. ~When Massachusetts took the lead in re- sistance 1o the harsh measures en- acted by England, the government rotaliated by multiplying its harsh- ness as applied to that colony, and Massachusetts appealed to the other colonies for a congress to maintain he rights of Americans. Our First Congress This, the first continenta] congress, met in Philadelphia on September 1, 1774, and four days later Peyton Itandolph of Virginia was chosen ts president. A majority of colonies were represented and joined in unit- <4 action for the first time, and up- on this is founded: Randolph's claim to being “first president.” But the United States had not yet declared its independence of Eng- land, and, when this occurred in 1776, Randolph, in poor health and «dying, was no longer president, hav- ing resigned and been followed By John Hancock of Massachusetts. Hancock was therefore president at the time America definitely met it- self up as independent of England, 50 that he has a valid claim to the honor under discussion. Still there was no definite form for the government of the 13 co'on- ies, ‘In July, 1875, Benjamin Frank- lin had submitted what were called the articles of confederation, calling for & loosely gnit union or coopera- tion of the colonies in matters of common iaterest, but it was not until Novemher 15, 1777, that these were adopted. On May 29 of that year Hancock had also retired because of failing health and Henry Lauregs of South Carolina had become presi- dent of the Continental congress. As he was the first president under a definite union, Lauren's right to the honor is particularly strong. Tt was under these Articles of Confederation that the colonies fought the Revolutionary War, trought it to a successful close, and negotiated the peace treaty with 1ngland. They were ratified by cight states on July 2, 1778, and by the others during the following three years, Maryland holding out until March 1. 1881, Forgotten Presidents Under these same articles there were twelve presidents of the Con- tinental Congress. In addition to ] aurens they were the followin John Jay of New York (1778,) Sam- uel Huntington of Connecticut (1779,) Thomas McKean of Dela- ware (1781,) John Hanson of Mary- J=nd (1781,) Elias Boudinot of New Jersay (1782,) Thomas Mifflin of Pennsylvania (1783,) Richard Henry Lee of Virginia' (1784,) John Han- cock of Massachusetts (1785,) Na- thaniel Gorham of Massachusetts Stamp act and In other ways was & leader of the patriots, being made chairman of the Virginia committee of correspondence in 1773. The next year he was sent to the first Continental Congress and became its president, but ill health came and he resigned in May, 1775, dying that October. John Hancock, the man ‘whose name has come to be a vulgar syno- nym for any signature, is too well knawn to need further comment here. But Henry Laurens of South Carolina, who probably has the best right to be called our first president, is comparatively unknown to New Englanders. Laurens Had Exciting Carcer He was born in Charleston In 1724, coming of Huguenot stock. Educated in London, he entered on a mercantile career and became rich. Laurens was opposed to Brit- ish aggression in this country and was the author of many brilliant pamphlets againat it. After a fling at fighting the Cherokee Indians, he retired from business and went to Furope to direct the education of his sons. But in 1774 he returned to Amer- fca and became president of the South Carolina Provincial congress and council of safety. Two years later he was sent to the Continental congress, becoming president on November 1, 1777. During his term, which ended on December 10, 1778 the article of Confederation came into force and the colpnies were united under one government for the first time. In 1779 he was sent as minister to Holland but was cap- tured at sea by the British and im- prisoned in the Tower of London. His papers, which were recoverea {from the sea, were of a character {that Jed England to declare war on Holland. Laurens was released | tinally and went to France, where he served as peace commissioner in negotiating’ the treaty by which England recognized our indepen- dence. Then he retired to his farm in Carolina, where he died on De- cember 8, 1792. He was the first person to be cremated in the United States. Connecticut's President Samuel Huntington, Connecticut’s cnly president, must not be over- looked. He was born in Windham on July 3, 1731, and passed his boy- hood on his father's farm, learning the cooper's trade, But he was too ambitious to stay at this, and he began to study law. He moved to Norwich and was sent by that town to represent it in the general assem- bly in 176 A year later he was made king's attorney for Connectl- cut. 8o well had he studied and prae- ticed law that in 1774 he was made a judge of the Connecticut supreme court. A year later he became state senator, and from 1776 to 1783 he represented Connecticut in the Con- tinental congress, serving as presi- dent from September 28, 1779, to July 19, 1781, during a seselon which lasted 1,816 days and was the longest in the history of this coun- try. During Huntington's presidency uvne of the greatest problems of early American history was straight- ened out. This was the disposal of the lands which lay to the west ot the Appalachian mountains ana which were claimed by numerous colonies as their property. New York ‘was induced to give up its claim to any of this land, and Maryland was eventually brought into complete the union by & promise that all the |territory would be the common property of all the states, while no- tice was served upon 8pain that this nation claimed all land east of the Mississippl. The establishment of the first bank in the United States —the Bank of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia—and a terrorizing “Dark Day" in New England were other events of his administration. Huntington retired from the con- gress in 1783, after peace had been {made, and the next year he was made chief justice of the Connectl- cut supreme court, his place on which he had retained during his time in Philadelphia. In 1785 h. became lieutenant governor, and a year later he stepped into the gov- ernorship, which he held until he dled, ten years hence, on January 5, 1796. (GOLLEGE MEN TAKE LOW PAYING POSTS Survey Shows Majority Willing {0 Start at Bottom Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 19 (UP)— The idea that the average college graduate expects to step out into the world with a $10,000 or even a $5,- 000 g year job seems to be out of date, according to a survey made at @l TAAZAA RESPON T0 CALL IN FRENCH Dog's Real Name Is “Prince’ Scatter Them Away” Zaazaa! Zaazaa! These two words are very familiar to the young men who make it a habit of spending their evenings in the reading room of the Y. M. C. A. ZaaZaa is the name of a handsome police dog owned by Saleem Thomas of Springfield, Mass., who is a con- stant visitor in this city. The dog's! full name is Ameer ZaaZaa, and! translated in Arablan mea: rince Scatter Them Away”. He is possess- ed of more than his share of canine | brains but the most amazing thing | about the animal is the fact that he will answer his owner when address- ed in French, “Venesz ici, ZaaZaa", comman Mr.. Thomas, and the dog immed ately runs up to his master and bur- ies his nose in his owner's hand. Mr. Thomas takes great pride in display- ing the abilities of his dog before the boys gathered in the “Y". Upon his order, the dog will spring in the air for an amazing distance. Ac- | cordigg to Mr, Thomas, the animal, is capable of leaping ten feet in the air. Orders to lie down, play dead, crawl, etc, bring an immediate re- eponse from the dog. He will con- | tinue to perform the order given him by his master until ordered to stop, Defends His Owner Mr. Thomas will send the dog into a corner and order hin to stay there. He will then hide from sight and repeated attempts by other persons to get him to come from the corner prove fruitless, The dog is very jealous of its owner and any attempt to lay a hand on him meets with an immediate response by the beast, Mr. Thomas will whisper o a person next to him and say “Let me alone.” The dog from a distance of 20 feet leaps into the air and comes bounding across the room uttering a growl. At the word of his owner he retreats | to his original position. Practically |all of the questions and orders which Mr. Thomas hurls at *his dog are in French and the animals shows al- most human knowledge by doing as he is told. Mr. Thomas' philosophy on dogs | seems to be successful. ZaaZaa has | grown strong and wise on discipline. He measures 45 inches from the tip | of his nose to his tail and is 26 inches | high, Among his unswerving ideals are: that none shall touch his mas- ter or his master's property nor pun- ish a child, good or bad, in his pres- | ence. Mr. Thomas doesn't adhere to science when he says that a dog acts | only from instinct. Possibly for other dogs, but for ZaaZaa he claims: | “That dog doesn't link sounds with | actions, he really understands v-hat you mean. He has brains.” French Protection Against Thieves As a bit of revelation, Mr. Thomas advises his listeners, “I don't talk to | ZaaZaa in French just as a fad. 1| do it so that thieves won't be able | |to walk away with him, If anyone | says to him, ‘Come here! he won't move. To him ‘Come here” is ex- | | pressed only by ‘Venez-ici’ But if | anyone seeing the dog strolling about wishes o say an admiring ‘hello,” he | will return the courtesy with | [ friendly bark.” Speaking of the dog's outside abili- | ties, Mr. Thomas stated that he | places a plece of paper ten feet up | in the bark of a tree. Then he com- | mands ZaaZaa to run up the tree and recover the paper. He is always | successful on his first attempt. Mr. | | Thomas demonstrated the dog's re- | ing paper balls high in the air in all | directions. The dog would spring | | from the floor from any position and | would snatch the pa&r before it had | started ‘» descend to the floor. | Named After Arablan Chief | ‘The dog is named after an Arabian | chiet named ZaaZaa who performed la great service for Mr. Thomas', | family in Syria. The Springfield man | | pointed out the fact that ZaaZaa| lives up to the fearless man for| { whom he was named. In a low bred | dog the tail is turned up in a phys cal indication of cowardice. ZaaZaa's [ tail is turned straight down, attest- {ing courage, he says. When asked how much he would accept for the animal, Mr. Thom- as told of an incldent that occurred I New Haven. He was walking along a street when a Yale boy came up to him and asked him how much he would take for the dog. Mr.| Thomas told him “Young man, your father may have a lot of money but he hasn’t enough to buy this dog.” | Aside to a reporter, Mr. Thomas | spoke forcefully and said that he | wouldn't take $5,000 for ZaaZaa. | Strangely ZaaZaa has no enmity |for cats.

Paonessa Knows When to Stop The present mayor, Angelo M. Paonessa, also never fell short of the requirements for classification among the successful exponents of the art. Quick to visualize the psychological effect on the public, of a wide circulation of the views of the city’s chicf executive on mat- ters of public moment, the mayor has alwaya taken advantage of whatever opportunity came his way in this respect. His success in the political arena indicates, in the opinion of political observers, that as a rule he has been careful not to overdo it, for there is danger in is by no means immune from the possibility of being converted into a nuisance. Ballyhoo has been made success- ful and profitable use of in busi- ness ventures in this city. Properly developed interest in any project of sufficient scope and importance to attract wide public notice, such as the adding of a large building to a business section where the need is apparent, or the replacing of old landmarks of modern structure, is considered and classed as ballyhoo in exactly the same sense as is the advance publicity that goes out and the situations that are created for public consumption, prior to a great sporting event. Not even among the clergy Is there a ban against the exploitation that Rickard excelled in. It has been resorted to by desperate preachers and has had the effect of filling pews which otherwise would have been vacant. ‘It has been known to attract men to church affairs who had not been nearer to stained glass windows than the side- walks were to the edifice since their childhood days, but that it had the power to keep them going has fre- quently been disputed. Couldn’t Frame the Editor More thah twenty years ago, when newspapers in cities the size of New Britain were made by smaller forces of men than have since been de- manded by the progress of the times and the growth of the communities, a New Britain editor, who was also a reporter and general utility man in the reportorial department, was brought face to face with ballyhoo in pure, unadulterated form, but he sidestepped It very emphatically. He was alone at his desk in the cramped quarters apportioned for use as the city room when two box- ers entered, one noonhour, All they wanted was a “write-up” on a fight they were to take part in at the Casino (now the Stanley Arena) on | Church street within a week, so the editor painstakingly noted all the facts he considered necessary for the proper sort of story, and thought he had them well in hand but one of the boxers, apparently by pre- arrangement with his companion, cleared his throat and leaning over confidentially, whispered to the newspaperman that it would be well to insert: “There's bad blood be- tween the boys and a tough fight is a88ul all the fans.” Had the incident occurred a dozen or fifteen years later, would not have been at all sur- prised. As it was, he developed a fit of anger so genuine and severe that he ordered the pugs out of the office and threw his notes into the | e waste basket, Some time during the e the coming match was given a few lines in an obscure corner of the paper, the ballyhoo having failed completely. In some instances, one end of the country has been made to ring and resound with the ballyhco that was started thousands of miles away. Again, the whole world has been made to feel the effect of the great roise and to talk about it and pay ention to it day after day, while other situations, not so important except in a local w have been broadcast through tha medium of the printed word and the whispered rumor. It has been designated as press agentry and it has been classi- fied as skillful exploitation.

While still in his ‘teens Weiss- muller began that meteoric rise to worldwide fame. His astonishingly fast crawl stroke won him a card in the Illinols Athletic club before the club's athletic committee sanc- tionc? it. Willlam Bachrach, 1. A. C. swimimng coach, wrote Weiss. | muller's card immediately after original privgte tryout in 1920, Not once was the “human fish' defeated in eight years ¢’ amateur competition, Bachrach kept him under cover for a few months, then | entered him in a 50 yard competi- tion. Johnny cracked the worl record. Thereafter he bagged world's championships in every free stylo event from the 50 yard dash to the 880 yard event, both indoors and outdoors. In two Olympic competitions Weissmuller was undefeated. He met and outswam the world's lead- ing free style swimmers in the United States, in Europe and in the Orient. Bachrach credits Weissmuller with perfecting the American crawl stroke, His style reduced water re- tance to a minimum, facilitated breathing, and put the body into position to make unimpeded use of all its strength and leverage. ‘Weissmuller announced his retire- ment from amateur ranks to enter business. He is only 25 years old. BUD TAYLOR NOW A FEATHERWEIGHT Terre: Hante Terrier Has Face: Made All Over Again Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 19 M— BudTaylor, the Terre Haute terrier, with a made-over face, will re-enter | the ring as a featherwelght. Bud, when he quit the resined arena five months ago with a pan- caked nose, was a bantamweig! class in which he held the cham- plonship in 1927 and part of 1928. Al Singer, the eensational New Yorker, is marked down at Bud's first featherweight opponent. The contest tentatively is set for Febru- ary, and will be at 126 pounds. Taylor's last fight was with San- | | | July. The Hoosier's nose was split | in the'fourth round. A Leos Angeles surgeon revamped the proboscis, using cartilage from behind Bud's ar. While about the rebuilding, the surgeon removed the bumps under | Taylor's eyes and tightened up the sagging sacks and also removed | evidences of caulifiower on one ear. | Bud tried out the new “pan” a few weeks ago, and found it re- pulsed leather first rate.
