PRESIDENTS
DEATH
Entire Capital Shocked by
Tragedy-cabinet Members
Rushing Back.
Continued from Page 1s)

-
the sun came up. over the Mary
land hills this morning that they
came into actual realization that
their great friend and chief was
gone-never to return.
Ihe White House, where repairs
were being rushed because Of the
expected early return of the Pres
ioent and Mrs. Harding, was not
lighted during the night. At the
executive offices, however, the
clerks and secretaries who had
worked side by side with Warren
Harding for two years. sat at eheiP
desks and wept silently as they read
the dispatches from San Francisco,
made preliminary plans for the re-
ceiving the body here and at the
same time planned for the coming
Of the new President. I'LL.
At midnight, church bells began
to toll in all parts Of the city and
their solemn notes continued for
many hours.

the Capital, but it is expected that
all Of the members of the Cabinet

as possible. to assist President Cool

Government where they fell from
the hands Of President Harding.
Secretary Of the Treasury, Mellon
and Secretary of Labor Davis, now
in Europe, probably will make ar
rangements to get the first avail
able steamer, for America.
Only Secretary of State Hughes
and Postmaster General New were
in the city last night and today.
The first public expression Of grief
over the Presidents death came
from Secretary Hughes, who said:
mo words can express the grief
into which we are plunged by this
calamity. The nation has suffered
an irreparable loss. A quiet, brave,
strong leader has fallen. over borne

The mystic triangle shown above
is said by certain scholars to have
heen inscribed upon the mummy
case of an Egyptian Pharaoh. 1t is
supposed to be the mystic sign of
the Egyptian deities, Isis. Osiris and
Thoth. The triangle is equilateral,
and contains sixteen small equilateral
triangles. The most remarkable
thing about it, however. is the fact
that the design may be drawn In one
continuous line, without lifting the
pencil from the paper, and without
going over any line twice. Can you
solve the problem?

FORD LIKES CONCRETE

That Henry Ford does not desire the
same air of antiquity in the approach to
his recently acquired Wayside Inn as he
does in the interior is evidenced by his
remarks on road conditions thruout the
country surrounding his property:
" lam charmed with the Inn and the
land around it," he said -aftho cannot
say the same for the roads. Something
must be done about them. the constantly
growing Use of motor transportation
cannot be stopped and the roads are
now inadequate to meet the demands
made up on them they must be made
so.
MY belief is that the solution lies
in parallel roads and roads double the
widths of the present ones. And they
must be of concrete too. There is moth
ing like concrete for roads; it is unbeat-
able. ] know from observation by my
own organization that concrete is the
best of known road construction.
Properly constructed a concrete sur
face will outwear any other and will
prove the most economical in the end.
THE trails of New England served
well enough years ago before the Inn
was built, but the utilization of the
motor car makes it necessary to aban-
don the old winding trail idea and con-
struct out present and future roads.
