Cleveland Breaks Record.
Arthur automatically became Presi-

assassin's bullet September 10, 1881.
The oath was administered the day
following, however, at Arthur's home
in New York City, later to be re-
peated at the Capitol.
Cleveland's inauguration broke all
records for crowds and general fes-
tivity. the Democratic victory evil

spread acclaim. Never had Washing
ton known such crowds in her ho-
tells and on her streets, and the six
hour parade was magnificent. The
ball, also, eclipsed in size anything
ever held previously.

dash from the Adirondacks on foot,
On horseback and by train. His first
real Inauguration, in 1905, attracted
2000 900 visitors to Washington and a
spectacular parade was staged.
The famous blizzard of March A,
1905, prevented Taft from making his
address or being sworn In outside the

Mexico Refuses to Take Over
Tramways in Capital.

MEXICO CITY, March 5.--Secretary
General Delhumeau Of the federal
district government has rejected a
petition of the striking Tramway
Workers Alliance for the govern
ment to take over the tramway sys-
tenn. Senior Delhumeau ruled that the
law does not permit the government
TO take over the system, because the
present conflict, eliminating in the
strike, was due TO the workers, in
stead of the company having forced
the stoppage of work. He added that
the government could take over a
public utility or private company only
when an order by employers closing
down their plants to the detriment OF
workers was not justified.

Children Need Sunlight
for Their DepeIonmen.

Recent experiments on chicks dem
onstrated the Importance of sunlight
in human health, particularly as a
factor in the physical development of
young children.
The chicks were divided into three
groups. All We're given the same diet.
but one group was kept in natural sun
light, the second In natural sunlight
passing through window glass, while
the third was kept in natural sunlight
and exposed at intervals to strong
ultraviolet rays.
The first group of chicks developed
normally. All of the second group
those that received the sunlight through
window glass-deyeloped ricketts,.
Those of the third group reached in
ten weeks the same stage of physical
development that those raised in nat
ural sunlight attained in twelve weeks.
The rickety chicks were cured when
subjected to ultraviolet ray treatment.
Between 81 and 100 per cent of the
children born in the summer and au-
tumn develop ricketts, In some degree
by the following spring. Through the
winter the mothers fear to subject
them to the bitter cold; hence the
babies receive their sunshine" behind
closed windows.

Ostrich Model Husband

The male ostrich is very domestic In
his tastes. When he marries he mar
rtes for life. The ostrich makes his
primitive nest with but little trouble
He lies on his breast and kicks the
sand out backward and sldewise, thus
seooping out a saucer-shaped hole in
the sand about four feet in diameter
and ten inches deep In the center. 10
this the female deposits her eggs,
usually about 10 to Is. One egg Is laid
every alternate day. An ostrich egg
weighs between three and four pounds
and contains as much food as two or
three dozen ordinary eggs. 1t is said
that 30 minutes are required to soft
boil them. Incubation takes from 40
to AZ days, the male and the female
sitting on the nest alternately. The
eggs are regularly turned and are COW
cred with sand and left during the day.

The Lowiy Potato

1t seems rather strange that the
Irish potato, which is now such COM
mon article Of diet the world over, was
once pilgrim and a stranger, so to
speak. When 1t was introduced into
Europe In the Seventeenth century 1t
encountered bitter prejudice and had
hard struggle to reach popularity.
Many people refused to eat potatoes
even in time Of famine; and at one
time some laborers rejected potato
soup, saying: "We viii not eat this
washy stuff. that affords no nourlsh-
ment: we will not be fed on meal and
chopped potatoes like hogs" BY 1900.
however, 1t had become "a constant
outstanding dish at every meal except
breakfast, at the tables of the rich as
well as Of the poor"-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Scientific Sherlock

The Post Office department was
faced with a mystery in the continual
rifing of registered letters in the
Southwest. The theft was narrowed
down to one of six post offices, but the
question as to which one was hard to
solve. A few weeks later an inspector
took one Of the letters that had been
rlfed and resealed, held it to his nose
and calmly announced that the thief
would be taken within a week He
was. The inspector had prepared six
lots Of mucilage, each having a differ
ent perfume. This was distributed
among the six offices under suspicion.
The thief used the perfumed muciiage
to reseal the letter and gave away the
location of the Office The rest was
easy.

PIKE GETTING WORSE

Failure to keep the pike in first
class condition is costing the Valley
a lot of popularity and prosperity
that it should have enjoyed this sum-
mer from tourist travel. There Is
nothing that so completely mars the
attractiveness of a country for the
pleasure-seel1er or brings a more I'M
favorable name to a section than bad
roads. Automobiles do not care TO
be touring around over highways
that shake their cars to pieces nor
where they endanger their lives every
time they meet another machine,
when they can have recreation with
safety, elsewhere, on good, smooth
roads.
From Harrisonburg to New Mar
ket, a distance of twenty-five miles,
the pike is in splendid shape and
credit must be given for this, but
between the latter town and Win
chester it is actually dangerous to
drive over, especially if there is
much traffic. The edges of the mar
row ugite bed are ragged and broken
and when one pulls out to pass an
other car, he gets all the sensations
of riding over a corduroy road on
an old-time bicycle. It requires about
ten minutes of strenuous effort to
get back on again after you once get
off.
At places the road is too narrow
for autos to pass. and bumps of the
Thank you, ma am" variety make
it advisable to wear football head
gear for safety. For some unknown
reason the pike has been shouldered
at intervals with slippery yellow clay
and just few days ago two acct
dents occurred at one of these places
within an hour. There is no neces-
sity for this. The people of this
country are paying sixty cents a
horsepower for the privilege of driv-
ing an automobile and are taxed at
high rate for gasolene. They should
have good roads or know why.
The Valley of Virginia is historic
ally the most famous section of the
South 1t is richest agriculturally
and by far superior in scenic beauty
and natural wonders, to any other
part of the State. 1t is the biggest
advertisement and asset that Vir-
ginia has. If ever there was a coun-
try that deserves a first-elass high
way, it is the Shenandoah Valley, and
it is time that the people awaken to
their needs and demand that they
have good roads whereon they may
travel with safety and pleasure.

CeIibafes by Choice

think that 1t is true there are men
and women who wisely realize that,
having reached the approach Of middle
age, it is better to remain unmarried
rather than marry from any but the
most serious reasons.
Marriages made In middle age may
be extremely happy. But there are
women, as there are men, who have
through experience, through adversely,
through the need of Independence,
attained so great degree Of individu-
atty that they feel that in marriage,
with its enormous need Of adaptability,
they would become lost.
We ought not to dismiss such people
us necessarily selfish and self centered.
Probably they know that their capacity
for friendship, their ability to be of
real service to many widely differing
types of human nature, their wider
leisure, makes 1t possible for them TO
express themselves more generously an
unmarried people.-Exchange.

LOCAL TEAMS LOSE

Woodstock lost the fifth game OF
the season to Strasburg, Wednesday
afternoon, by the score of 1914. The
losing of the game may be attributed
to three things: lack of practice, poor
support, and errors.
The team seems to be unable to
play good ball on the home grounds.
and Capt. Miller is going to try for
better results by changing the line
up and putting in few new play
ers. The season is early and with a
few changes and new pep, there is
time to come in ON top at the end
of the race.

Old Wedding Customs
Haze Kindly Meaning

The throwing of rice as the happy
couple who have just been married
emerge from the church, or set out on
their honeymoon journey, has almost
given way to the throwing of the more
harmless confetti.
The custom Of throwing rice prob
ably came from the East, where rice is
the staple food and where plenty Of
rice means comfort and prosperity.
Thus, to throw rice means: MAY you
never lack good meall" or, in other
words, MAY your married life be pros
perous!'
The Romans used to scatter corn in
a brides path, and in Poland the neigh
bors throw handfuls of wheat, barley,
oats, or even beans, at the brides door.
In Italy nuts take the place Of
cereals, and one can imagine that the
italian children have a happy time
picking them up, just as German chill
dren, in country places, pick up the
cakes and tiny buns flung from cottage
windows at passing bride.
