VISITING HOSTS DEPART;
union STATION LONELY
Preliminary Arrangements by Railroads
Make TRANSPORTATION Easy.

Without any of the jamming and rush.
ing Of former inaugurations the thou
sands Of visitors who sojourned here for
the fete have passed back through the
portals of Union Station to awaiting
trains. Early this morning the impro-
vised information booths, barricades, and
signs had all been torn down, and the
waiting rooms and concourse took on
their normal aspect.
All special trains carrying civic dele
cations and military organizations, prao-
tically, left late In the afternoon or early
evening and the scores of detectives and
special policemen had returned to their
home towns.
Robert Kusick. Philadelphia chief OF
police, who always comes down to help
out at Inauguration times, said last night
that the remarkable record made of no
arrests in the station was due, he
thought, to the fact that no liquor had
been sold during the fete days.
Careful arrangements made in advance
by the various railroad companies for
the handling of the outgoing passengers
was also a factor responsible. No trains
leaving either Monday or last night were
seriously delayed.

EVEN THE zoo Is HIT
BY High LIVING COST
May Trim Daily Allowance of Eggs to
'Monkeys.

It's going to cost the Government q
lot more than $4,000 to feed the animals
at the zoo this year. y
With the monkeys eating about 30 doZ-
en- eggs a month. and the price of those
eggs ranging around 50 and 60 cents
dozen; and the bears and other big
animals chewing up about 600 pounds of
fresh beef a day; and the sea-lions
swallowing several tubs Of white-fish
day, the cost Of living at the zoo
has gone up frightfully.
1t cost the Government Just $1,000 to
feed the animals last year. and the
cost was this low simply because con-
tracts were made for a years supply of
meat. Since then meat has gone up
enormously and when new contracts are
made in a month or two there will be
new prices.
So many provision dealers have lost
money on yearly contracts for ZOO sup
plies that the vegetables and eggs have
TO be purchased from month to month.
at market prices.
The monkeys and other small animals
must have vegetables and eggs. and the
eggs have to be the best candled eggs
or fresh eggs. quite fit for humans.
White and graham flour. which Is used
to make the brown molasses bread for
the bears and other animals. has gone
up also.
