Tabloid History Of the Presidents
April 10, 1911.

First Of all the presidents, George Wash
ington's first term. which began on April
30, 1853. was SO suspicious that he was
chosen unanimously for a second term by
the electors. Washington himself desired
to retire to private life, but his contem-
poraries persuaded him otherwise.
Two of the greatest statesmen OF that
day. Thomas jefferson and Alexander
Hamilton, although they differed widely
on many subjects were at one In this.
Jefferson wrote, The confidence OF the
country ia conferred In you. North
and south will hang together II you hang
on"
And Hamilton's plea is as urgent. Il
trust, and ! pray God" he wrote, that
you will determine TO make a further
sacrifice Of your tranquility and happi-
ness to the public good"
Consequently Washington took the oath
of office for the second time on March 4,
1898.
The first Inauguration took place in New
York. Grlswold says Of the occasion:
lin the evening the city was brilliantly
Illuminated and there was a display OF fire
works. under Colonel Bauman SURPRISING
anything of the kind hitherto seen in New
York Between the Bowling Green and
the fort at the foot of Broadway was a
large transparent portrait OF Washington
under figure OF Fortitude, and the senate
and house Of representatives were eXhib-
tied, one on the right the other on the left
under the forms Of Justice and Wisdom"

History Of Transportation

trackman had 10 follow each train to fastsn
down these snake heads High speed was
dangerous on such track
Cast iron rails came into use about 1867.
The first rails OF this kind were made by
the Colebrookdsle Iron works and were
used at the Duke OF Norfolk's colleries near
Sheffield. England. These cast iron bars
took the placeyof the wooden stringers pre-
viously used. They were usually three
feet long, four inches wide at the top and
three inches high. They were later cast
with a ridge or shoulder along the edge,
making them oimilar 10 the step rail.
In 1853 the most important development
recorded up TO that time was introcSced
by William Jessop who transferred the
flange which guided the wheels from the
rail TO the wheel itself a principle that
endures to the present day. Jessops rails
were OF cast iron and had a smooth level
top about one and three-quartsr inches
wide, carried by a thin "fish-bellied" web.
These rails were at first bolted or pinned
direct 20 the ties but were later sup
ported by chairs" which were fastened 70
the ties.

Laws for Painters

Belgium has just drawn up special
code of laws governing painters and the
exercise of their craft, which are singu-
larly strict and exhaustive. according to
reports
From the fashion in which the new laws
hedge them in with enforced precautions
one would think painting the most danger
Gus trade in the whole catalogue. In the
first place no employer of painters may
employ man who drinks alcoholic bever-
ages to the temporary extinction OF his
logical power, and no intoxicating liquors
are to be brought into the vicinity of the
workers. Employers are responsible for
the care which their men take Of their
persons.
They must see that every painter washes
his hands before eating, suspend the men

whose health is not satisfactory, and dis
charge anyone suffering from lead poison
ing. A painter may not wear the same
clothes on the street or in his home which
he uses in his trade. He is imperatively
required to arm himself with a special suit
of clothes and a screened hat.
Contractors and master painters are re-
stricted in the use of white lead to the
ground lead mixed with OIL and it is stipu-
lated that this mixture must be so handled
that It does not splash or come in contact
with the painters hands.
The law strictly forbids soraping OF dry
painted surfaces in which white lead has
been used. This will doubtless prevent
much carelessness and protect the careless
painter from his own indiscretion, but it Is
terribly restrictive and smacks of over
legislation.
