HIGHWAY BUILDERS HAVE EXAMPLE SET
 BY WEST vIRC|N|A

Highway engineers may. in the fu- ture look to the West Virginia h. dustrial school for pratical road builders. The boys at Pruntytown are being trained to fill the need of practical men to operate road build ing machinery and to do the actual work of construction which some times requires quite as much skill and experience as do the positions held by college bred engineers.
 This unusual educational program was adopted so recently that a con- prehcnsive report cannot yet be made. but reports made to the National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor indicate that the program will be of the greatest benefit to the country and to the boys themselves
 l.. To interest the boys in road building so that they will desire to follow the work when they are re- leased from school
 2. To train them in the practical line of knowing and doing good work, such as mixing and placing of con- crete, the laying and grouting of brick. running and operating ma chInery, all of which requires consid- erable skill.
 5. If they make good and become expert in the work, the state road commission will be in a position to recommend them and find them en- ployment after they are released
 f. While the boys are being trained their labor will be great help in the construction of the road planned thereby of immediate benefit to the community and state
 At present 50 per cent of the grad ing of a brick road on a concrete base from Fetterman to Pruntytown is being done by boys.

MUCH INTEREST IN ADVANCE IF
 AUTO INDUSTRY

Never in the history of the indus try has there been more interest in advance of the big automobile shows than is manifested this year" says Ed. A. Thilenius, sales manager of the Kissel Auto company.
 Tt is due to the more or less un- certainty that prevails regarding prices and volume of production. Thousands of those who are in the market for a car this year are deter mined to buy early for they believe they can perhaps do better in Janu- ary than in May.
 Although 1 do not believe there is going to be any great curtailment in the number of cars built next year, l do think it the better part of wisdom to buy early and make sure. Buyers feel the same way, hence the extraordinary interest in the shows"

OF SEAT In CHURCH

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan S.-The Sunday
morning congregation at the Wesley
Methodist Episcopal Church, at Twenty
NTH street and Grand avenue, will not

tBy United State. Cable,

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March 6. President Wilson took the oath of office yesterday in public before a vast crowd which packed the plaza on the east front of the capitol, at l2:45 o'clock in the afternoon, standing in the cold wind. It rained most of the morning but the sun broke through the clouds just as Wilson was taking the oath and the weather was clear most of the time during the inaugural address.
 Vice-President Marshall took the oath of office in the senate chamber just few moments before Wilson was sworn in publicly but the preSi- dent had taken the oath privately on Sunday.
 The president reconSecrated his ser vices to the nation.
 With a new conservation to the na- tion'S service, Wilson touched on in- ternational affairs and declared there could be no turning back from the tragical events of the last 30 months, which had brought to Americans a new responsibility as citizens of the world
