Bible at the passage reading. "The
Lord Is our refuge; very present
help in time of trouble"
Chief Justice White administered
the oath and was the first to extend
his congratulations. Wringing the
presidents hands. the chief justice
looked fervently into his face for a
moment and said brokenly:
"Mr. President, / am very, very
happy"
Members of the cabinet then crowd
ed up with expressions OF regard.
Mr.. Wilson received them with a
smile and then turned back to his
desk to complete his interrupted task.
Vice-president Marshall did not
take the oath on March 4. He was
sworn in for his second term on
March 5 at the special session Of the
new senate with the usual vice-presi'
Dental Inauguration ceremony.
Hundreds turned out to see the
suffrage demonstration at the White
House, but few had peep at the
much rarer scene. Passing the pres
idents room at the capitol just at
noon a handful of sightseers found
the door open and caught glimpse
of the president himself within. Then
they saw him rise and greet large
distinguished featured man, who had
come down the corridor few minutes
before and hesitated at the entrance
like an utter stranger approaching
the presence of the chief executive.
1t was the chief justice, and the
| little group of visitors were treated
to the spectacle of president taking
| his oath of office.
Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and
Vance c. Mccormick, who managed
the presidents campaign for re-elec
ton, President Wilson had come tC
the capitol two hours before he tool
the oath to clear up odds and ends
of the executive business passed or
to him by the expiring congress. Sec
rotary Tumulty and most of the cab
met members had gathered in thu
room while the president worked. Al
he took the oath, Mrs. Wilson stoo'
near him, dressed in mourning be
cause of the recent death OF her sis
ter.
Facing, to use his own words, no
retrospect but the thought and puT
poses of the present and the immedi
ate future, President Woodrow VII
son on March subscribed in publi
to the oath as his own successor.
Not since Abraham Lincoln kisse'

REDUCE EXPENSE OF HAULING
improved Roads Put Farmer In Posi-
ton Where He Can Go to Market
Every Day in Year.

Permanent road building costs
money, and 1t is well to look ut the
cold-cash side of the proposition. True,
the beneficial effects upon the socia
and educational standards of the COM
munlty are not always susceptible of
exact calculation, but they are certain
to come; and since permanent road
costs money, we must know there Is to
be n profit from somewhere to offset
the cost. Something for nothing has
never yet been found.
Profits from a permanent road come
to the farmer In the reduction of haul
ing costs. 1t puts him in position
where he can get to market every day
In the year, and where he can haul two
loads at one trip instead of having to
make two trips TO haul one load.

worse, to waste money In work OF
this sort with the use Of bad material
In building a culvert the road
builder must observe three funda-
mental requirements:
1. The first requirement Is that the
culver. must be so placed that 1t will
drain across the road, and under the
road, of course, all the water that Is
delivered to 1t by the side ditch along
the road. II this be not done, the
earth along the road and about the
end of the culvert will be wet and
sOggy the most of the year and the
culvert opening will require almost
constant repairs. Repairing high
way culvert IL relatively more ex-
pensive than similar work In q town
because Of the waste OF time Of the,
workmen In going to and from tho
point at which the work must be done.
In placing the culvert care must also
be taken that 1t will not be choked
by brush and leaves, and this duty
must be discharged by the road super
visor, and will be, II he Is worth his
salt.
2. The second and very Important
requirement In the building of cul-
vert Is that its ends must be protected
by some kind of wall or facing car
ried down to firm foundation. If
this be done, 1t will be found that the
end OF the culvert will not be under
cut by the water and will not be
broken, frost will not injure 1t, the
surrounding or superintendent earth
will not slide down into the ditch In
front of the opening, and, with the
further necessary work of keeping tho
feeding bitches clear, the culvert will
be able to take care of all the water
alongside the road.
3. The third requirement Is that the
culvert must be made so strong that
IL will not become broken and so tight
that It will not leak. These ends can
be reached by building the culvert of
masonry, concrete or of good piping.
The material to be used must be de-
termined by the relative cost of the
several materials at the locality
where the culvert Is to be built and
by the distance from the top of the
culvert to the surface of the road.

extreme tension in national affairs as
prevailed Monday.
President Wilson never looked bet
ter than at the moment OF his public
Inauguration, He seemed to have
shaken of the air of worry and de-
preston which has marked him dur
Ing the last few momentous weeks.
From the moment that he entered the
open carriage. drawn by four beaut'
full thoroughbreds, to proceed TO the
capitol to subscribe to the oath. until
he returned to the White House. he
was smiling. All along the route OF
the parade he and Mrs. Wilson bowed
TO crowd that acclaimed them and
was plainly in sympathy with the
doctrines for which he stands.
Members OF the cabinet were on

with him and congratulated him on

again had prevailed, and that whereas

the entire program was to be spoiled
by rain. the skies had cleared and the
sun was shining brightly. The presi-
dent, in gay spirits. accepted this as
an omen for the future.
At 1850 the senate had assembled
and the members Of the house en-
tered the chamber in a body. headed
by Sergeant at Arms Gordon. Five
minutes later Mrs. Wilson left the

the seats reserved for her in the
presidents gallery. At IL o'clock,

equally cordial reception.

prayer.
Vice President Marshall was then

Vice President Marshall then ad

At 12:42 the sun broke through the
clouds and at its appearance Tho
crowd cheered wildly. The president
took off his hat and waved 1t In re

up, Woodrow; why waltz" and a gen

At 12:4S the. president stepped Il

ANTI.NATIONALIsTs IN.CONGREss.

New York Times:-It is a %regretable but patent fact that there
are men in all parties and both branches of this Congress who are
not animated by a genuine American patriotism, who have oppos-
ed, as far as they could or dared, the assertion by Mr.. Wilson of
American rights, who for local political or other reasons are sub
missive to alien influences or eat the opium Of pacifsm. The sup
chapter in the history of the Sixtyfourth Congress.
The sulen reluctance of a minority of the House and Senate to
take a national view of international questions, the obtrusion of old
prejudices to prevent the discharge of new duties, the continual
attempts to emba1rass the President, have been painful to the
country and are inevitably accepted in Germany as assign Of divid-
cd counsels. To play their game against the United States is the
undoubted result, whatever be the intention, of the course Of these
malingerers, Democratic Republican and Progressive. b
They are beginning to hear from the country, from the great
difficulties require the union of good and loyal citizens. Mr.. Mann
OF Illinois, for instance, who has laboriously destroyed an unde-
served reputation and gradually dwindled from a. itular rank as a
leader to his true dimensions as "a small politician, is hearing q
good deal to his disadvantage from Republicans and Republican
journals. @
1t is the boldest commonplace that Washington is the worst
judge OF public opinion. Surrounded, apparently, by visiting pro.
eand'sts and lntriguers, or mistaling the, replication Of the talk
OF g coterie for the voice of the people, these recusants feed on
their illusions The people are quiet, while the fock.o Of anti-na-
nonahsts shrieks; but the people have made up their minds They
desire honorable peace, but if it cannot be and, il American rights
Of commerce and property and life on the seas are not to be re-

PERFECTION OF

MODERN METHODS OF MANU-
FACTURE HAVE SOLVED THE
BIG PROBLEMS OF THE MOTOR

One Of the most impressive develop
ments in the automobile industry has
been the advent Of large scale produc-
ton, says James G. Haslet, vice pres
ident in charge Of the engineering and
production of the Studebaker Corpora
ton, land with the development of the
modern motor car to its present state
of perfection, there has come about
an explosion Of the old idea that a
motor a had to be heavy in order to
stand upsunder severe road strains.
Now cars. of comparatively light
weight can be made Of steels of great
er strength, toughness, and shock-re-
sisting qualities than the steel in cars
weighing several hundred pounds more
"The story Of how steel can be
strengthened by alloys and heat-treat-
ing is fascinating, and the results are
truly marvellous. The making Of the
higher grades Of steel, such as we use
in Studebaker cars, has been revolu-
tionized, and in no other branch is it 50
evident as in the motor industry. The
metalurgist, Of whom little is said
these days, has been quite as great an
influence as the designer, for upon him
the inventor has depended for steels
to meet the unusual stress and strain
OF the sturdy lightweight automo-
bile.
"The heat-treatment Of the steels
used in the manufacture Of Studebaker
cars requires scientific accuracy. An
inspector at a pyrometer, or heat,
guage, watches the temperature Of all
