Mitchell Carroll.

In his many activities DIR. Mitchell
Carroll, whose sudden death yesterday
greatly shocked this community, was
one OF the notable citizens Of the Cap
ital. A resident OF Washington for a
quarter OF century. he has been
identified for that period with it's scien.
tific and artistic and literary life, as
educator and student. His special in.
terest was archaeology, in which branch
OF learning he had gained international
note. Since 1890, when he came to
George Washington University, he has
been professor Of archaeology and his
tory of art at that institution. He
founded the Art and Archaeology Masa-
zine, and was for many years general
secretary Of the Archaeological Insti.
tute OF America. Instrumental in the
foundation of numerous bodies devoted
to research and the promotion of art
and science, he had a wide acauatnt-
ance throughout the country. and by
his membership in international or.
CARNATIONS he was kept active in the
world field. His kindly nature, his
radiant personality and his gentleness
OF spirit endeared hin. to a very wide
circle, and his passing causes a deep
and sincere grief here.

man, of the District committee. Sena-
tor Ball labored diligently for the well
fare of this community, especially dur
ing this past session he has been ac.
tive. Numerous measures of impor-
tance have been enacted largely
through his persistent efforts, and in a
review of the record of local legislation
the value of his services at the head
of the District committee will be recog.
nizeG.
Yesterday Senator Arthur Capper OF
Kansas was chosen to succeed Senator
Ball as the head Of the District com.
mittee. This is cause for general graft
fication in Washington, for Senator
Capper has from the outset of his con-
sressional service been keenly inter
Capital. He has been one of the most
Industrious members OF the committee,
thoroughly studying all local ques-
tions and seeking the enactment of
legislation Of constructive benefit. He
has been conspicuously active and
helpful in securing wholesome legisla-
ton for the betterment of Washing
tons public schools. His understand.
ing OF the peculiar limitations and
conditions of the Washingtonian is
thorough. enabling him to visualize
the requirements OF the community.
He meets the representatives of the
people Of Washington upon the ground
of understanding and sympathy, and
there is cheer in the prospect of his
helpful service as chairman during the
next Congress, when matters Of urgent
importance still remaining for action
Will require consideration.

A Model March 4.

Rarely has Inauguration day been
SO agreeable in all the physical condi-
tions as this. 1t is, indeed, for the sea-
son an ideal day for a great outdoor
ceremonial such as that which Is being
enacted here. There have been warmer
Inauguration days, but none more
pleasant in all aspects, and, further
more, there have been far worse days.
when the air has been bitterly cold,
with high winds. sometimes with snow
and ice. Indeed, one looks back to in
augurations of the past to, remember
mainly the intensely disagreeable ex-
periences on such occasions rather
than the pleas SAINT ones.
Contrast, for example, this day with
the 4th of March, 1909. when Presi-
dent Taft took the oath of Office. That
was day never to be forgotten. with
its heavy snow and intense cold and
furious winds; with its choked railroad
tracks and stalled trains, thousands of
visitors never reaching the Capital;
with its broken telegraph lines almost
completely isolating Washington for
hours. -.
Going back a little further in his
tory, there was the wet and intensely
disagreeable Inauguration day of 1889,
when President Harrison entered Of
flee, q wet, heavy. altogether unpleas-
ant time. And going back even further
yet, to the time of Grants second in
auguration in 1873, there are many
who today will recall that terrible ex-
perience. with the cold 50 keen that
people lost their lives from exposure,
when West Point Cadets, for instance.
suffered casualties as they marched.
These are only some Of the unp9eas-
ant days on which Presidents have
taken the oath of Office. They are the
ones that stand out most sharply on
the records and in the memory of liv-
ing persons: They are the experiences
that caused the demand for a change
of date to a more clement season. It
was thought that surely after the 4th
of March OF 1909 there would be a shift
Of the national calendar to prevent a
recurrence of the veritable calamity Of
an Inauguration ruined in its public
features, with a heavy toll Of life.
But March 4 remains today, with its
chances Of bad weather as well as
good weather. Unfortunately the pres.
ent prospect is that if ever a change is
made 1t will be for an even colder
period of the year instead Of a warmer.
Washington, the host city, would pre-
fer that. the people of the country
should come to it for this great cere-
monial at time when it presents its
fairest aspect, when 1t is in bloom in
all its beauty, when the pride which
all Americans take in the Capital is
certain to be greatest in appreciation
of its unsurpassed attractions.

Q. How many pounds will one Gu
bic foot of air raise at the depth of 20
feet in water?-E. r. S.
A. The Bureau OF Standards says
that one cubic foot of air will raise
about SIS pounds in fresh water. The
depth has nothing to do with the
buoyancy.
Q. What is the record weight for
the Albacore &C. A.
A. The Bureau Of Fisheries says
that it finds record of a 70-pound Al

1t has for the common A1bacore; how
ever, for the Great Albacore, some
times known as the tuna. of the At

Q. What punishment was given the
generals who conspired to assassinate

A. The principal conSpirators in the
plot to assassinate Napeoleon, 1903 -04,

The World Court.

While it was only gesture, without
any practical effect, the adoption by
the House yesterday of resolution
expressing the cordial approval of the
World Court of international Justice
and an earnest desire that the United
States give early adherence to the
protocol establishing it has a decided
significance, and perhaps will have an
influence in securing the participation
Of the United States in this body. The
vote by which the resolution was
adopted is impressive, 301 to 2S... 1t is
not to be believed that the fact that
it was an Immediately impotent action
was a cause of this heavy preponder-
ence of expression for American par
ticipation in the World Court. Rather
is it to be believed that If the question
before the House had been one of prac-
teal legislation the result would have
been the same.
This question will arise in. practical
form at the next Congress. The Sen
ate convened in special session Of the
Sixty-ninth Congress, beginning tomor-
row, may itself record its approval.
The last House, by it's action in its ex-
piring hours. cannot, OF course, bind
its successor. But there is no reason
to question that the House of the
Sixty-ninth Congress will stand ready
to give its assent and to vote such ap-
propriations as may. be needed to ef-
feet the participation of the United
States in this tribunal OF international
justice.
Two Presidents of the United States
nave urged American membership in
the World Court, and in today's ad-
dress President Coolidge repeats this
recommendation. The position Of the
United States as an influential factor

by those who most sharply deplore
this change in practice. that the
hours-long professions OF earlier in
augurations were rather tiresome. As
band after band succeeded in line,
heading now troop OF militia from
one State, now from another. or per-
haps a group of civilians representing
some political society, here was little
variety after the first hour.
Probably few who recall the inaugu-
raj parade of 1889. for example, when
President Harrison took the oath of
office, regret the absence of intermin-
able lines of Pennsylvania militiamen.
thousands of them. At other inaugu-
rations, too, similar hosts of citizen
soldiery and black-coated political
clubs marched, not particularly well,
often with ragged lines. due to the
weariness of long waiting at the for
nation points.
There is, OF course, an impressive
ness in numbers. but there is also an
impressiveness in compactness. To-
days procession has the latter quail
ity. The brevity Of the proceeding has
its significance, even greater than at
tenuation and elaboration. The man
who at noon took the oath Of office
as President of the United States is
simple citizen of this country, not
given to form or ceremony. He is not
a militant figure. He Is a man Of
peace, quiet, efficient, direct. The es-
cort that accompanies him on this
occasion expresses his character. 1t
is a representation of the American
and that suffices.

The Inaugural Parade.

Many of those who watch today's
inaugural parade, requiring less than
an hour for passage. will recall cere-
monial professions of similar char
acter at. past inaugurations and draw
sharp contrasts. Twelve and more
years ago these pageants of soldiers
and civilians were long. Many of
them took several hours to pass.
They were more colorful than that of
