HARDING NOT TO OPPOSE
CHANGES IN INAUGURAL

One of the chief obstacles to the
Norris resolution-advancln the
date Of Presidential Inauguration
and succession OF Congress from
the historic fourth Of March to
January has been removed by
the announcement from the White
House that President Harding will
put no straws In It's pathway to
enactment. sponsors of the plan
said today.
President Harding Is personally
inclined to favor the present system,
believing tho Constitution builders
were wise" In providing a three
months cooling-off period between
election and inauguration, But he
has informed friends he does net
carry his belief TO the point of op-
posing the Norris movement

Household Trip to
Feature Holiday
of President

GkAY OW it can be told" that a
houseboat trip really is to
IN be feature of President
and Mrs. Harding's sojourn in
Florida and that Senator and Mrs.
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen's "Vic-
toria" is again to be placed at
their disposal. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Hardings took a.
1eisurely cruise on the Victoria
during their memorable visit to
Florida in Iceland many news
paper correspondents remember
with considerable chagrin their ef-
forts to trail the Presidential
houseboat and bless the mud banks
upon which it occasionally pied
up, enabling them to keep up
with their assignment.
II was stated in dispatch from
Palm Beach some time ago that
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Beale Nc
Lean had chartered a houseboat
upon which President and Mrs.
Harding would be entertained. 1t
would seem now, however, as
though they might be intending to
cruise a bit on their own, prob
ably keeping in touch with the
Presidential party.
One thing is certain, President
Harding is going to make his pro-
posed trip to Florida a real vaca-
ton.
The Chief Executive does not
want to make a lot Of speeches or
be the center OF interest while in
the South. Several delegations
have been told as much when
they called at the White House to
see If the President would not at
tend this or that ceremonial.
What the President wants. bOtn
for Mrs. Harding and himself, Is a
real rest after close confinement In
Washington and the cares OF
office.
THE most interesting event on
Il the carpet this afternoon is
the reception to be given at the
willard by. Mrs. William M.
Calder. Mrs. Joseph IRWIN France
and Mrs. James Couzens. 1t is
a case of ''hail and farewell with
the hostesses, for Mrs. Couzens,
wife of the Senator from Mich
igan, is a newcomer to official
life while Senator Calder and
Senator France are both retiring
from the Senate on March a.
The hostesses will receive in the
willard room, which is gay with
flowers, and there will be dane
ing across the hall in the Fair
fax room.

British Royal Son Visits Hospital and
Sees Soldiers Who Arc Horri-
bly, Mutilated

London, Feb. 15.--The story of a
visit made by the Prince of Wales to
hospital where 36 hopelessly dis
figured war veterans are spending
their days is printed by the Daily Mai
today.
After seeing twenty-nine of the
men and offering them his coincidence
the prince asked where the other
seven were. He was told that these
were so shockingly mutilated that it
was hardly desirable for him to see
them. The prince, however. insisted
and the attendants accordingly took
him into the ward. With each of the
six whom he found there the Prince
chatted cheerfully, and then asked
where the seventh was. He was told
that no ono except the physicians
and nurses were allowed to see this
sufferer: who lay alone in still another
ward. The prince expressed desire
to see visit him.
The member Of the hospital staff
who related the story tried to dis
suade his royal highness, but the
prince was insistent and was there
upon conducted into little room. He
walked firmly to the bedside but
turned very pale when he saw the af-
fiictcd veteran. For a, few moments he
stood with bowed head. Then he slow
ly stopped down and kissed the shat
tered face.
