They look gay enough, bedecked
from head to foot with many colored

dozens of fancy colored toy balloons
floating above their heads. and win
their upright boards covered Win
comic looking monkeys, and spiders

Ties with the hope of selling out at
big profit to the inauguration crowds
They guessed wrong. The crowd
didn't come up to expectations, and
was different from other inauguration
crowds, so the funny little monkey
that danced so nimbly from the cords,
the fierce looking red-faced spiders
with wire legs, and the many medals
and badges, which have always gone
like wildfire on previous Inaugural
tfons, were passed unnoticed this
time, except by an occasional small
boy.
"enNncr NlIIs EEiNohtgs
And to add TO the vendors troubles,
the days Immediately preceding in

days to the peddler, were cold, rainy
and dreary, keeping the crowds of
the streets and killing any desire Tor
frivolity.
As a result, the days after the in

packs and full pockets, as had been
expected. their packs remain full and
their pockets are empty.
Some abandoned hope, sold out
their wares for anything they could
get, and set out in quest OF fairer
fields. Scores OF others, however, held
on with the hope that they might dis
pose of their trinkets to that remnant
of the crowd which always fingers in
the Capital a week or ten days after
the Inauguration. These are to be

400 Licensed Vendors.
According to the records OF the Po-
lice Department more than 400 of
these peddlers were licensed to sell
their wares on the streets March 5.
The exact number for previous inau-
Eurations is not known. since this is
the first year licenses have been re-
quired, but the number this year was
far in excess OF the average number
for inauGurations.
The belief seems to have been prev

up accordingly. According to inform

CANDY MADE WHILE YOU WAIT
 AT INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.

The general public has now began 10 manifest a natural curiosity as to the nature of the Industrial Exposition and Export conference which is sched- uled for Springfield Mass. the last week of June. As yet it is too soon to give any definite description of the exhibits contemplated by New Eng land manufacturers. However. one coop era tive exhibit already arranged for visitor may expect to see.
 It is said that the Kibpe Candy Co. will manufacture sweets on National Equipment Co.'S machines. These products will be cooled in Eastern States Refrigerating apparatus, and wrapped in Packing Machinery Co., s devices. Such a display will make an equally strong appeal to children. grown-ups and to the most serioue- minded efficiency experts"
 There will also be concert bands, fireworks and numerous amusement features to hold the interest of the casual visitor The exporting school. whose sessions will be held daily throughout the exposition week. is de- signed for the business men who mean business and who have come to make e study of world markets and not merely to be amused.
 While the exposition was planned as a New England affair, inquiries are coming in from all over the country for information and plots of the dis play space.
 It Is not only a patriotic duty for New England manufacturers to get together along workable lines, but it is an absolute necessity if they hope to maintain their former supremacy in the industrial field.

Gladys BrockweIl in Her Temptation is the feature photodrana for today and Saturday at the Auditorium. Her Temptation embodies the experience of a beautiful young girl who by her dying father is left in charge of a young, rather easy going but honorable millionaire. He means to be only a daddy to her, and is such but finally loses his heart to his young charge It is well, too, that he loves her. be- cause she has need of his protection, inasmuch as the same man who ruined her father in Wall street has deter mined to ruin her, too. How perilously near he accomplishes it is brought out graphically in the picture, which is brought to a conclusion by a climax of unusual strength. It Is essentially a story of Greater New York. possessing all the interesting if not edifying side lights on so-called high life in the metropolis.
