HEAVY TASK OF MANAGERS
WORK CROWNED WITH SUCCESS

Two hundred and fifty thousand WISH
tors-the largest number by 10000 that
ever came to Washington for an inaugu-
ration-are in the city to witness the re-
turn OF democracy to the White House
after an absence of sixteen years.
To provide for the handling of this
immense crowd, to arrange for its enter
tainment and amusement and at the
same time, to work out a program which
would insure the inaugural ceremonies
being conducted along lines of simplicity
! and dignity-this has been the task Of the
inaugural committee which today finds it's
labors crowned with success
The story of the men who make an
J Inauguration is a story of American en-
terprise. ingenuity and energy. These
qualities are characteristic of the men
chosen every four years to arrange for
the, ceremonies, and they are dominant
in the personnel of the committee which
planned tOday's festivities.
The same traits explain why the citi-
zens Of q single community are eager to
assume the burden Of arranging an event
of national Importance. For. while an
Inauguration is a national affair, it is
managed by the people of the District Of
Columbia, who assume responsibility for
it's success or failure. They furnish the
money that is needed to finance the I'M
dertakng and the men for the committees
that direct 1T.
Practical Business Represented.
The members Of these committees are
prominent Washington business men, who
practically neglect their own affairs for
period of five or six weeks and put in long
hours in the endeavor to make possible
an Inauguration that not only will be a
but Will constitute an epochal event of
it's kind.
AT the head of the inaugural commit
tee this year is William Corcoran Eustis
His appointment was announced Decem-
Der 10. date considerably later than
the usual time for the selection of such
an official, which necessitated the nam

obtained when one takes into considera-
ton the fact that the business of all the
subcommittee has been transacted
through the larger body. The general
committee has been a sort Of clearing
house for the other committees and its
officers have not had a minutes rest
since the work of preparing for the in
auguration began.
Chairman Eustis has been at the helm
directing the policies of the committee.
He has proved an ideal man for the
place and more than justified his selec-
ton as chairman. Too much credit can
not be given Secretary Wick. Everything
is up to WICK in one sense of the
word. for he is the man selected to look
after the thousand and one details of the
