residence of the President, was the first
public building erected in Washington.
The site was selected by George wash
ington, who personally laid the corner
stone in 1892 It was first occupied oy
John Adams in 1900. The building, l76
feet long and SO feet deep, was partially
DESTROYED by the British in 1914. An
annex containing the Executive ofhces
and a Cabinet room was built IN l9O2
during the Roosevelt incumbency. The
early occupants of the White House
used candles. Gas was not installed
until 1848, and heating and ventil-
lating system in 1853.
The United States Government has
never felt 1t necessary to buy special
car for the President to travel IN, be-
cause the railroad companies have al
ways placed at his disposal any private
car he might express preference Tor
whenever he was planning trip. This
car has to be paid for out OF the traVei-
ing allowance of $4,000.
The President is not restricted in the
number of automobiles. They are paid
for out of the White House mainte-
nance fund. Uusually there Is an ar
rangement made with one OF the lead
ing automobile manufacturers to keep
the White House supplied with new cars.
Constant Vigil Is Kept.
Whenever the President goes out
driving he is attended by Secret Service
men and by policemen outriders on
motorcycles. There is force of Secret
Service men on the alert night and day
to protect the President. A 24-hour
vigil is also kept about the White House
grounds. The use of Secret Service men
at the White House began after the
assassination Of President Mckinley.

ORDER OF PRESIDENCY
SUCCESSION LISTED.
Law of Congress Provides for All
Emergencies so Nation Will
Have Chieftain.

A question often asked is, Who sue
ceeds to the presidency, in case of need,
after the President and Vice President?
This has been provided for by law of
Congress, SO that no matter what hap
pens the country may not be without
an executive.
The order of succession is as follows:
Secretary of State, Secretary of the
Treasury Secretary of War, Attorney
General, Postmaster General, Secretary
of the Navy Secretary of the Interior,
Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of
Labor.
Although the following question has
no bearing under present conditions, 1t
Is interesting to know that If the man
elected President of the United States
should die or in any way become in
eligible between the time Of the meeting
of the electoral college and March 4, the
man elected Vice President would be-
come President.
In case of such vacancy occurring
prior to the meeting of the electoral
college, that body would have the duty
of elevating the man elected by the
votes of the people of the various States
as Vice President to the highest Office
in the land. That has occurred in the
past.

Presidential Oath

Father Is Recalled

i'm Old Home Followed
Harding's Death.

Calvin Coolidge walks out of the
White House today with a distinction
that no other President had. He is the
only man in American history who was
sworn In as Chief Executive by his own
father.
In August, 1923, the world learned of
the death of President Harding. But
the world knew that the President"
was not dead, for with almost grim
swiftness a new man had stepped into
the office. The night of Mr.. Harding's
death was hectic one in official circles.
There were only two Cabinet officers in
Washington and there was grave
fear that the sudden death of the Presi-
dent was part Of plot against the
Government. Postmaster General New
was insistent that Vice President Cool
idge be Immediately sworn In. Secre-
tary Of State Hughes, next in line of
succession and himself former Chief
Justice, ruled that any person qualified
under the State laws to take an &C
acknowledgement could swear in Mr.. Cool
idge. In the still hours of the night, by
the flicker of a kerosene Oil lamp. in
modest farm home in the hills of Ver-
mont, Calvin Coolidge's father "offici-
atedp and swore in his son as President

FLAGS FOR HOOVER
80 ---
Thousands, Specially Made for
p Celebration, Are Waving
nF Here Today.

Thousands of flags were especially
made to wave in Washington today at
the Inauguration OF Herbert Hoover.
The, quartermaster general arranged
with the Armys manufacturing depot
in Philadelphia to supply flags Of every
dimension ranging from the big garri-
son flags 2Ox3S feet to the small storm
flags 5x9 feet.
In the same city where Betsy Ross
made the first American flag hundreds
of girls were kept busy stitching white
percale stars on blue field and care
fully laying red and white stripes of
pot was responsible for all the flags
used by the u. S. Army, including
colors and standards for regiments.
The national flag Is made in IL sizes.
Advance In Making Of Flag.
The making of Old Glory advanced
along the same lines of economical
production as other commodities I'm the
needle industries. At one time the en-
tire flag was fashioned by one operator.
Now the work is divided into Is opera
tions. A different task Is assigned each
worker, the work passing along from
one machine to another until 1t Is COM
plerely assembled.
The material for stars is stamped
out with steel cutting die ON an cleo
tric-driven stamping machine. The
blue field Is placed on a table, care
fully smoothed out and the proper posi-.
ton of the stars marked on each field,
using perforated pattern.
National colors of silk are carried
by unmounted troops and standards
by mounted organizations. Making of
these differs from the work on bunting
flags. The tsars are made of solid EN-
broidery silk on Swiss hand-em-
broidery machine.
Placed BY Machines.
The blue silk fields are placed in frames
on this machine, which turns out a
stitch-like hand embroidery. The regi-
mental banners are made of heavy
taffeta silk with an eagle and the regi-
mental coats of arms are embroidered
by hand. There are as many as 80
different shades of. silk used In EN-
broidering each banner. The work.
woman must use the greatest care and
Judgment in her work In order that
the different shades blend properly.
The colors for the President. Sec
rotary of War, chief of staff and West
Point cadets are embroidered by hand

K ORE than one President of the

AT ORE than one President OF the
M United States is known to
wv have remarked upon retiring
Il from that high Office that one
of the greatest and most
genuine thrills associated with the
presidency was that derived from living
in the White House.
This beautiful white residence, mag
niflcent in its simplicity. its perfect
has been credited with serving as an
inspiration to many of the distinguished
men who have lived in 1t during their
tenure of Office.
President Coolidge is among these
The White House from all accounts Is
a most comfortable place OF abode. 1t
is spacious without being barnlike, and
it is furnished and conducted In such
typically American manner that the
Presidents and their respective families
have been able to live simply and with
the same freedom that was theirs in
private life.
Not only is the White House home
like place. but 1t is beyond all question
the most famous residence in America.
Its graceful. Colonial lines are well
known to millions of people throughout
the country. 1t Is rare that a visitor
away without having seen this house
their Presidents home. Architects and
artists from foreign countries have
been charmed with 1t.
Perfect Colonial Type.
Some readily concede it to be the
most beautiful residence in America.
At any rate. it has been described by
authorities as the most perfect type OF
American Colonial architecture In this
country. In addition to its own grace
and beauty, there are the grounds In
which it is situated. with their hun
dreds of shade and Towering trees, ito
hundreds OF shrubs, and roses and
countless other flowers, which, during
the Towering season, transform the
more than 10 acres forming the White
House grounds into one OF the beauty
spots of the Capital.
This home of the Presidents Is just
as attractive inside as 1t is on the out
side. It Is actually four stories, although
from the exterior it appears to be only
two stories. This deception is due to
the fact that the basement floor Is not
noticed from the front, and because the
arrangement of the top story, or attic.
as 1t is generally known, is such as al
most completely to hide 1t from view.
There are about so rooms IN tnlS Ia
nous old building. No one seems to
know the exact number, but that Is as
close as the older attaches can estimate.
The main floor is more or less public,
and for that reason is little frequented
by the Presidents and their families.
OF course, the private and state dining
rooms are on this floor. but the occu-
pants of the house never have their
meals in the latter, except on occasions
of banquets or other state functions.
The remainder of this main floor Is LOT
formal receiving and entertaining. ana
is not used by the presidential families
except for these purposes.
East Room Most Famous.
Unquestionably the most famous OF
the rooms In the White House Is the
East Room. It is also the largest and
most magnificent.
The Blue Room, although consider
ably smaller, is next In Importance, be-
cause 1t is in 1t that the President and
the First Lady receive.
The presidential families confine
themselves to the second floor. 1t Is
