Colors ONLY Used
In Inauguration Decoration

WASHINGTON. u. c.. Special.--The red,
white and blue displaced all other coll
prs in the scheme of decorations for
president Wilson's inaugural. The
green and white, and the mixture of
gay colors of other years We're entirely
submerged i'll the display of national
colors.
From every stand they fluttered, from
every public building. The folds of the
flag rippled from the crowded stands
along the line of march as if in answer
to the salute of the same celors borne
by the marchers. The flag swung or
dropped from balcony, window and
cheering spectators. 1t hung suspended
in stately dignity at thousands of
homes. ON the line of march and off
the line of march, everywhere, the city
displayed the flag.
The court of honor at the White
House where the president reviewed the
marching army OF celebration was
smothered in the t%ricolor. 1t was the
decoration, the only one. in President
Wilson'S second inaugural.
In choosing the flag as the only dec
Grafton, h committee is understood to
V had in min the international sit
uation as we'll as the presidents wish
for dignity and simplicity i'll any color
scheme which might have been con-
sidered.
AS in previous years the court of
honor extended two blocks on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, from Fifteenth street to
Seventeenth, directly in front of the
White House n between the treasury
and the state, war and navy buildings.
The presidents: stand; seating about
$500 persons, was on the south side of
the avenue, while opposite. the length
OF l.aFayette square was. a reviewing
stand for others.

EDWARDS AND BOOZE.

Here is a new way to look at the
man who drinks. He drinks because
he is a poor, weak minded fool, an in
sane man or a nan headed that way, an
lilly balanced moral coward, and, in
most cases, a. physical coward as we'll.
When he is definitely and clearly in
SAL he drank because he was insane
and is not insane because he drank.
10 the young mar there is something
romantic about drinking. 1t was a
badge of manhood to throw down three
fingers of booze. Or, tt look at it from
another angle, drink liberated the
imagination n carried and mind on
poetic flights of brilliant imagining.
Drink is associated with dreams of
knights and knight errantry as they
We're of old and as they can be trans
lated into goth century life. There was
and manhood Of the youth who drank.
But listen to what DR.. w. A. White,
superintendent of the United States
government hospital for the insane, has
to say about it.
He gives his talk the title, "Alcohol-
ism as a symptom" The alcoholic is
q neurotic. He is incapable of meeting
reality efficiently every day. He may
be able to deal with the problem of
reality for a greater or lesser length
Pf time, but continuity of effort day in
and day out IS foreign to the alcoholic
character. He can stand the strain
only ABOUT so long, longer in some cases
than in others. He drinks because he
tries to find safety from his ineffi-
cheney.
How frequently we see the alcoholic
retiring himself in solitude and in quiet.
drinking himself into stupid uncon-
seriousness in his effort to escape his
recognition of his own incompetence.
