how her husband, Ralph, driven by
jealousy and remorse, had burned

of many innovations that are i'd

not until next week, the President
plans TO go again to the capital and
there personally meet every member
of both the Senate and the House,
And then, from time to time, he will
slip over to the great building and
occupy his desk in the "Presidentl'
room" of the Senate wing and get
into actual contact with the law
makers, while the wheels Of legisla-
dion slowly revolve.
The President left the White House
in the executive automobile immedl-
ately after the cabinet meeting and
was whisked to the capitol. He went
directly to Speaker Clark's room
where the speaker and Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall were in waiting to re-

were to be appointed to escort the ex-

The President made it very plain
thut he varied his visit made as
simple as possible. He had planned
to leave the capital Immediately af-
ter The delivery of his address and
rush back to his work in the eecutive
Offices.
Doors Of the House gallery were
opened at 10 o'clock, three hours be-
fore the time set for the ceremonies.
At thai! time 800 women with private
cards struggled for entrance. Old
grandmothers and girls fought to be
the first at the doors. Members
wives and daughters were in the me-
lee. in which new spring gowns and
millinery were mussed and showed
awry.
Outside the House entrance to the
capital large crowd, on foot and
in automobiles, gathered to watch the
President arrive. Thousands were
there unable to secure the coveted
cards of admission. These cards
brought from S. to $40 but few
were for sale.
In addressing the joint session
President Wilson said:
az am very glad indeed to have this
opportunity to address THE two
houses directly and to verify for my
self the impression that President

is one person who will set all OF these
qualifications at naught, who will pull
YOU down off of your high horse in a

down, and you curse your own awk-
wardness if you really don't know how
to do it. Not isn't your sweetheart
