WILSON AGAIN IS
MADE PRESIDENT
Chief Executive Indicted Into
Office With Due Ceremony.
PATRIOTISM MARKS THE DAY
Vice President Marshall First Takes
the oath-Imposing inaugural Pa.

Nature-Flaos and Illumination.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

washington, March 5. - Woodrow
Wilson has been inaugurated president
OF the United States for the second
time, and Thomas R. Marshall has
come into his own as vice president Of
the United States for the second time
In company with the chief executive.
For several nights prior TO the IN
auguration, Washington was flood Of
light. Thousands of American citizens
came to the capital Of their nation
from all over the United States to wit
ness the ceremonies attending the In
auguration. The situation of the coun-
try In reference to its foreign relations
added more than a touch of serious
ness and distinct flavor of patriotism
TO the entire proceedings. Washington
Is city Of flags at all times, but it
became ten times a city of flags one
day before the ceremonies of inaugu-
ration.
Observation-Disclosures from the White
House to the capitol with his wife at his
side. In the carriage with him were
two members of the congressional COM
mittee which had general charge of
the ceremonies, and of which Senator
Overman of North Carolina is chair
man.
Vice President Marshall, with Mrs.
Marshall In the carriage with him, was
escorted In like manner to the capitol.
Big Crowds, Many Flags.
From an early hour the sidewalks
were crowded with persons waiting to
see the president and "the first lady
of the land pass along the avenue to
the place of the oath-taking. All the
windows commanding a view of Penn
sylvania avenue also were crowded
with onlookerS. The red. white and
blue was everywhere In evidence. The
only foreign flags to be seen in Wash
ington were those flying from the flag
poles of the foreign embassies and
legations which, even though they are
located in the city of Washington, are
recognized as being foreign territory.
Vice President Marshall was resworn
into office before the inauguration of
the president. The exercises took place
in the senate chamber. The legisla-
tive day of March 3. so far as the sem
ate was concerned, had been continued
by recesses gn'il the hour of II noon
Of the calendar day March 5.
The president pro tempore of the
senate presided at the ceremonies pre-
ceding the administering of the oath to
the vice president-elect. The president

the cabinet, the foreign ambassadors
and other notable guests occupied seats

81 came to Alberta In the Spring of
1909 from DEVILS Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
IL arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$500. Since then, / have increased
my live stock to seven head of horses,
four head of cattle, and about one hun
dred head of hogs, a four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern i'm

four times more since coming here.
From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, had a gross return Of
$1,000.
II first started grain farming. but
during the past four years have made
hogs my speciality. and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1915
that have not done 50 badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent In value during the past few
years. now selling for from S25 to $35
per acre. with nominal taxes of about
S27 a quarter section yearly.
'The climate here Is better than Da-
kota In that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
"As for farming In general, the grow.
Ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, if con.
tinued year after year, and If every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers In the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"

Many Important Bills Passed
BY Body-Number Fail at
Last Minute.
GOOD ROADS BILL PASSES
Statewide Prohibition, Limited Stuff
rage for Women, and Constitution
al Convention Among Import
ant Bills Passed.

Indianapolis, Ind.-The SEVENTEEN
session of the Indiana General As
sembly has passed into history. The
notable enactments of the session fol-
low:
Statewide prohibition.
Limited suffrage for women.
Constitutional convention.
Highway commission bill.
No other Legislature in the history
OF the State has passed any bills of
greater significance than any one of
these. Suffrage and prohibition are
expected to cause greater changes So
cially and politically than any other
laws that have been enacted in In
diana. No one can foretell at this
date the far-reaching effect of the
call for constitutional convention.
Aside from the tremendous interest
In the above mentioned measures, the
excise tax bill held the greatest pub

but was defeated in the Senate after
a spectacular fight.
Oil Bill Is Killed.
The Governors recommendation for
making the attorney generals office
appointive went through the House
and was defeated in the Senate. His
recommendation for a separate de-
partment of insurance and banking
was defeated.
The Governors oil inspection bill
was defeated twice by the Democrats
and Republicans. The primary cleo
ton law was amended slightly and a
new registration law was enacted, but
practically no constructive legislation
was enacted.
The House and Senate passed, un-
der suspension of rules, a bill provid-
ing for the registration of women
voters. The House and Senate also
adopted Sunday moving picture law,
with provisions for censorship and for
the establishment of a Moving Pic
ture Commission. This was the only
concession in the way of legislation
for the cities.
The 21a cent railroad fare bill, for
which the railroads have fought val
iantly in two consecutive sessions,
was lost on a parliamentary point
after midnight, when the foes of adj
vanced fares gained their motion to
postpone the bill indefinitely.
Highway Commission Bill.
The conference amendments pro-
vide for the adoption in the main of
the Senate bill, with one important
amendment that gives what sup
porters of the commission plan be-
lieve is a creditable start toward
complete control of the main market
highways.
County commissioners retain the
power conferred by the Senate bill
of letting contracts for main market
highways on plans and specifications
drawn by the State highway engi-
neer. Choice of materials is limited
to those specified by the State high
way engineer, the bill as it was
amended in the House after passing
the Senate providing that there shall
be two or more materials.
The conference amendment appro-
pirates 100000 for present years
work of the commission, and S500,00
for next years work. Federal funds
amounting to $4,000, the allotment
for the years 1917 and 1913, will be
available next year.
The contract is not concluded, how
ever, until the State engineer gives
his approval of the award made by
the county commissioners.

INDIAN TRIBES USE
WHISTLING LANGUAGE
Able to Express Their Thoughts
Perfectly by Its Use, Says
Mining Engineer.

Carlisle, Pa.-That entire tribes OF
Indians in Mexico carry on long con-
versations by means of whistling is as
serted by Harold T. Mapes, mining en-
gineer, who was for twelve years in
Mexico, but now lives in Carlisle.
Mapes declares that the Indians have
q whistling language and are able to
express their thoughts perfectly by its
use. He says it is not series or signs
or calls signifying danger, love, fear,
peace, war, etc, but regular language,
BY which the most subtle shades OF
thought may be expressed.
Like people in other parts Of the
world, the Mexican Indians occasion
ally whistle for their dinners, only they
are able to explain by their whistles
exactly what kind of a dinner they
want--either q simple meal Of tortillas
and frijoles or a more elaborate feast
Of enchiladas and mole guajalOte, with
cerveZt or vino.
Mapes says that he understands that
the whistling language has been hand
ed down from generation to generation
from the time of the Toltecs and Az
tees and that Indian lovers can put a
world of tenderness and passion into
their whistled declarations of love OF
stir their fellows to heroic deeds by
the fierceness with which they whistle
q call to arms.
A whistling language has been used
from time immemorial by the Swiss
mountaineers, and Neapolitan sailors
converse frequently by means of whis
tling. Convicts in the big jails in Ma
pies converse freely by means Of whis
Ting, and there is apparently no limit
| to their whiStling vocabulary.

Water Pressure.

As early as 1913 a Frenchman Of
science named Pascal experimental
with pressures applied to liquids and
discovered the following law: A pres
sure applied to any part Of the sur
face Of a liquid is transmitted un-
changed in amount in every direction
through the liquid.
Perhaps the most familiar applica-
ton of Pascars law is the hydraulic
press. In that machine pump having
a small piston drives water into a large
cylinder and thereby forces upward a
large piston, which congresses what
ever is placed between the platform OF
the piston and the fixed crossbeam at
the top of the press. If the area of
the larger piston Is 100 times that OF
the smaller a downward force Of one
pound exerted on the smaller piston
will create an upward force Of 100
pounds upon the larger piston.

Fleetest Animals.

Writers Of a century ago were hrm
In the conviction that the greyhound
was the fastest living animal; some
maintained that he could run mile In
a minute. Modern observers, however,
have found that the best hound is by
no means able to keep pace with
trained race horse. Indeed, the late ].
A. Graham. a careful student of such
retters, used to say that no living
animal could outfeot a modern race
horse.
A first rate horse running his best
and not handicapped by carrying a
rider can run a mile In less than 100
seconds. A feet hound, such as those
used in coursing, can run mile In
about minute and fifty seconds. A
jack rabbit is nearly as fast, and an
antelope is considerably faster. Mr..
Graham thought an antelope might
run a mile across the level prairie In
a minute and forty-fve seconds.
On the other hand, Mr.. Cottar, an
old African hunter, thinks that Thorn
sons gazelle would have no trouble
whatever in running away from the
fastest horse and that Grants gazelle
and the gerenuk are almost equally
fleet.-Youth's Companion.

He Used His Head.

In the American Magazine Charles

ANDREW Carnegie first attracted at

operator on the Pennsylvania railroad

morning a series of wrecks tangled up
the line. Colonel Scott was absent and
young Carnegie could not locate him.
Things looked bad.
Fright then Carnegie disregarded one
of the roads strictest rules and sent
out a dozen kilograms signed with
Colonel Scott's name, giving orders that
would clear the blockade.

Big men make big mistakes. Little

The fellow of strong personality, the

likely to make big mistakes than the
weazened OF the world who are timid

amount to so much with him-that Is

. The Thespian's Fiasco.

Among Italians, a correspondent in
Rome tells me, the origin of the term
"iasco" for failure is believed to have
originated in the remark Of an old ltal-
ian actor. He had in the course OF
play to deliver a somewhat lengthy
monologue, In which he invariably
scored a great success. 1t was his
habit to always hold some object or
other I'm his hand, changing the article
every time he appeared and never u.s.
ing the same thing twice. One even
ing, seeing a wine battle Called in
Italian fiasco), he seized it and pro-
ceeded on the stage to pronounce his
soliloquy. Whether it was that on that
occasion the audience was extraordi-
narily difficult TO please or whether it
was that the actor was not up to his
usual form, the fact remains that for
once he did not obtain his customary
applause, from which time the phrase
"fare fiasco" has become general In
the Italian language.-London Chron-
icle
