recting the plans for the present

lieve that the present show will be
even more successful than the
closed car salon, to say nothing of
previous shows which have been
held here.
Local auto dealers look to the
present exhibit to start a great buy
ing movement in the automobile
field. They are looking for a great
demand this spring.

CHARITY THEME
OF LENTEN TALK
Motive Behind Giving Counts
Most, Says Herald
Editor.
No Service Today
There will be NO midday Len
ten service at ketss's today.

He Who Would Get Must First
Learn to Give" was the theme of
Charles S. Mitchell. editor of The
Washington Herald, who spoke At
the midday Lenten service in B. F.
Keith's Theater yesterday at noon.
"A city is judged by the character
of its citizenship and evidenced by
the extent to which its people give
OF themselves for the good OF their
city as a whole" declared Mitchell.
Giving until IL hurts Is not real
giving; II is letting go. 1t is the
thought OF motive behind q gift that
really makes the giving Of it one Of
the pleasures in life"

SUCCESSOR TO HARA
DIFFICULT TO FIND.
Marquis Saionji Declines to
Accept Post of Premier.

TOXIC. Nov. 0 (Associated Press).-.
The problem of a successor to the Pre-.
mfership remained In an uncertain state
to-day largely because Of the continued
refusal of Marquis Saionji. pleading age
and Ill health, to consider acceptance
Of the post which. the Asahi Shimbum
says. he persisted in curing a long con.
ference with Prince Yamagata. one of
the Elder Statesmen, at the latter's
residence In Odawara, near Yokahoma.
Prince Yamagata is understood to have
insisted that Marquis Saionji was the
only man able to bring harmony out
Of the situation.
Keno Adachi. Saiyu-kai leader. is
quoted as saying there was strong
possibility that Baron Takahashi, Min
ister OF Finance, would be the choice
for the Premiership If Marquis Saionji
persisted In his declination.
The vernacular newspapers appear to
be convinced that a long political strug.
gle. with consequent iujury to the coun.
try's interests, would follow the final
and definite refusal Of Marquis SaioniI
to accept the post made vacant by the
assassination OF Premier Hara.

The Presidents appearance was the
signal to turn on battery of electric
lights arranged along one side Of the
rotunda. These shed white rays and
sent long shadows that gave the ro-

raphers were enabled to make pictures
that will be handed down to posterity
as the record of the impressive cere-

Mr.. Harding stood silently for three
OF four minutes. His head was bowed.
Across from him were Vice-President
Coolidge and Speaker Gillett Beyond
with the group from the Supreme Court
was Chief Justice Taft. Members OF
the Cabinet stood in the background.
Presently a man who seemed TO be
in charge of the arrangements walked
quietly to Mrs. Harding and handed to
her small package. She took it and.
unfolding II, walked toward the coffin.
The base OF the catafalque extends out
about a foot and this Mrs. Harding
mounted. The package had contained
n long white ribbon. This the Mistress

which she did IL, as II she had In mind

stepped back TO her husbands side
when this task was done. Not word
had been spoken.
IL was the Presidents turn then to
pay a tribute to the Unknown Soldier
Half hesitatingly and not without tre-
mendous show OF sentiment Mr.. Hard
ing stepped forward and gently placed
n small piece of gold upon the ribbon.

Honor voted by the Senate and the
House i'm tribute TO the Unknown Sol

Mr.. Harding turned then to receive
