the names of his Cabinet officers until
they are sent to the Senate for con-
firmation caused stir today in govern
mental and political quarters and set
many persons to looking up the custom
of former Presidents in this connection.
They found that Gen. Jackson arrived
in Washington February IL, 1929, to
prepare for his Inauguration. The Ma
tional Intelligencer announced the
members of his cabinet, evidently with
authority, on the 9th day of February.
President Van Buren, made only one
change in the Jackson cabinet.
President-elect Harrison arrived in
Washington February 9, 1841, and four
days later the probable" members of
his cabinet were published in the
press. These probabilities" subsequent
ly turned out to be realities.
Mr.. Polk arrived here February Is,
1845, and his cabinet was not organized
until after March /, but it became
known before his Inauguration. Gen.
Taylor reached here February %. 1849,
and did not announce his cabinet until
March 3. President-elect Pierce came
to the National Capital February 81,
1853, but before that time the men,
bers selected for his cabinet had begun
to leak" out through various channels,
one or two at a time.
There was much speculation about
Mr.. Buchanan's cabinet and many UNI
authorized statements were made in adj
vance about it. He finally selected 1t
while at Lancaster, Pa, and 1t was
given to the press here for publicity
February 26, 1857.
Abraham Lincoln arrived in Wash
ington for his first Inauguration Feb
ruary %, 1861. His cabinet was lot
fully decided on, however, until March
/, when the names were made known.
President-elect Grant was at his
office here as usual today receiving
callers, most of whom came to see. him
on business The President-elect sent
his formal acceptance of election to the
President of the Senate and Speaker
of the House, today, as the representa-
tives of those before whom the electoral
votes Of the States were counted.

mismanage them. Sometimes 1t hap
pens in home that they are misplaced
A sure sign is given that they are when
| the cooperative spirit the helpful at
mosphere which should prevail, is pre-
vented from doing so by some one men,
Der who has manipulated matters to
suit his or her especial pleasure at the
general sacrifice of the rest of the
family.
While it is no sort of kindness to
cater to this "off" member of a house
hold and encourage wrong situation,
it often appears to be the easiest thing
to do, and one after another OF the
family has been known to slip into the
habit for the sake of preserving calm.
When the cause Of such despotic con-
troll Is illness of temporary nature or
is attributable to a nervous strain that
makes an individual less than his or
her best self, such calm is well justified
for there are extenuating circumstances.
Leniency should not be withheld.
It is when tyranny is exercised for
purely selfish reasons that the price OF
unrest in the household Is too much to
pay. For selfishness, If unchecked, does
not of itself decrease. On the contrary,
it increases. To let it continue without
protest is to add to its burden.
The question then arises as to how
to make such protests effective. Merely
verbal ones, made to a selfish person,
may serve to increase the sense Of
power, dear to such a one.
So it would seem that policy Is bet
ter than any amount of unfruitful re-
proaches. To definitely settle within
oneself or among the others of the
household just what rights are invi-
olable and then, without fear or favor,
go on with the assumption that, con-
flict or no conflict, they are going to be
pursued and that whatever scenes fol-
low will have no more effect than the
water which. rolls off the ducks back"
that is to assist every one in the
home to a more equitable balance OF
power.
If tact is added to such determine
ton. and sense of humor as well, the
battle is likely to be less bitter one.
Sometimes it happens that at the very
first show of genuine force the usurping
stockholder of the family fortunes may
see that further efforts to tyrannize are
to be without results and may as well
be foregone. There is an attitude OF
weakness which, selfish people recog-
nize as their opportunity, just as they
recognize strength as their defeat.

Maryland has plaintive way of say
ing mr.. Pesdent" when he addresses
the presiding officer. This and his
never-failing quotation from John Ran
dolph set him apart.
And there is Senator Hefiin of Ala
bama. who utilities every trick known
to the pulpiteer and at times works
himself up into such a state of excite
ment that one fears he will fall to the
floor in heap at any moment.
And Borah of Idaho-the Senate's
greatest orator. A colleague once said
of Borah that If he wore whiskers he
would scarcely be noticed. 1t is not
hard to believe. The gaunt face and
long hair are the two things about him
that compel attention. Certainly every
teacher of public speaking in the coun-
try should refer his pupils to the Idaho
Senator as an example of what they
should strive to be.
Senator Hale Of Maine holds his gold
trimmed nose glasses gracefully poised
in front of him while he is on his feet.
Another Senator twirls bunch Of keys
as he talks. and another plays with the
small coins in his pocket.

A Sermon for Today
footing Ones Own Horn.
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.


Text-"when thou doest thine aims,
do not sound trumpet before thee"
Matt, viz.
Or when thou doest anything else,
"do not sound a trumpet before thee"
In other words, do not toot your own
horn. For
Whether mighty in station or hoer Of
corn
Unwelcome's the fellow who toots his
own horn"
I have read somewhere, "He that hath
a horn, let him blow his own horn:
for ne that hath horn and bloweth
not his own horn, verify the horn OF
the same shall not be blown" Evi-
IDENTIFY good many have read this
somewhere, and practice it as zeaiously
Is if they had read it In the Bible. But
we do not find this in the Bible. What
we find in the Bible is, LET another
praise thee, and not thine own mouth"
Self-praise Is always mark of IN
feriority. True Importance is always
simple. Self-importance, however dis
guised in its own majesty, Is littleness.
Men Of real importance are too busy
with their work to talk about their i'm
portance.
AS Joseph Morris writes:
"The poorest woodchopper makes the
most sound;
A poor cook clatters the most pans
around;
The rafting spoke carries least of the
load;
And jingling pennies pay little that's
owed;
A rooster crows, but lays no eggs:
A braggart blows, but drives no pegs.
He works out of harmony with any
team,
For others are skim milk and he Is
the cream
The world so far as he can see,
Consists of few other folks and me.
He richly deserves to be held III Scorn-
The ridiculous fellow who tootS his
own horn"

IONS rim. In the far north stands out
the white tower of the Soldiers Home
To the south are the spires of Alexan-
dria.
The view is wide and far reaching
and 1t has many attractions upon which
the eye fingers long, but Washington is
ever its central and commanding figure.
The Washington Monument looms
with dignity and grandeur denied at
a nearer, view.
If one Is so fortunate as to be here
when the day is one of cloud shadows,
there will be exhibited a play of light
and shade not elsewhere perhaps to be
paralleled.
The entire face of the white Monu-
ment stands white against blue. A dark
shade appears at the extreme base,
broadenS and extends upward AS it
moves up the side the brightness re-
treats slowly. Only the tip glows for
an instant, darkens, and the whole
Monument appears as a planet In
eclipse. The relighting begins. First a
glow of illumination at the base, then
deliberate progress upward Of light.
Up and up 1t moves until the tip catches
light again and the Monument once
more shows light against blue.
Over and over this play of light and
shade goes on.
The grounds of Arlington are noble
In contour and adornment. The art of
the landscape gardener has beautified
the surroundings. There are flower beds
and lawns, and a profusion of orna-
mental trees and shrubs.
But above what the skill of man has
done, and beyond 1t all, one recognizes
the majestic beauty Of the site itself,
with its slopes and ravines and hillsides
crowned with oaks.
1t is as if through long centuries
nature herself had lovingly nodded the
spot, making it ready for its final great
purpose-the resting place Of the Ma
tons heroic dead.
Not even President Coolidge's neigh

Soup Has Two
Good Purposes

Though soup is a specially good
cold weather dish, there are two good
reasons for serving 1t at any time of the
year: First. as an appetizer to stimu-
late the appetite and aid digestion: and
second, as a hearty, nutritious and in
expensive main dish for the meal. In
the first instance, only the clear soups,
such as consomme, bouillon and clear
broth should be served. The thick
vegetable soups, chowders and cream
soups belong in the second group.
