Senator Chiffon Is located in the

in 1900, the south wing in 1917 and

IN 1914 the wooden passage way
was totally destroyed and both wings

and many an interesting story could
be written of what has transplred In
them. Senator Chiffon, in view of their
interesting history, has undertaken 10
increase their value to the historian
and has brought them rightup to date
from the historical standpoint. His
offices have just been covered with
the carpet on which Woodrow Wilson
stood when the oath of Office as presl-
dent was administered to. him. Thus
the senator has linked together in his
office the memories of the earliest his

The inauguration Of Woodrow Will

one Of the most Important events in
the history OF the United States and 1t
is fitting that the carpet on which he
stood when he took the oath of office
should be placed in one Of the first
rooms ever occupied in the capitol Of
the nation and Which sheltered the
greatest men OF their time in the early

Chiffon is greatly pleased that he
