President of the United States That
the science of communication played
an important part in the Inauguration
is something that millions of people in
America and in foreign countries as
well would undoubtedly testify to.
Not only did the people at the Cap
itol building hear the program, but
Honor far down historic Pennsylvania
Avenue also listened to the program
which came through the amplifier
horns of the public address system
In addition, dirigibles flying over the
city broadcast news of the events as
seen from the air while flying ma
chimes in parade formation zoomed
through the air as the military parade
made its way along the avenues and
streets of Washington.
The events of the day were put on
the air by announcers of the National
Broadcasting Company and the Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System ut pickup
stations located at intervals along the
line of march and at the Capitol, in
the Senate Chamber and at the White
House. These stations were installed
and maintained by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company. In this
way people here, there and everywhere
who were listening in" were told of
what was happening as the procession
passed these stations.
In addition to the radio broadcasting
of these events and the public address
system at the Capitol and the Court
of Honor, another interesting feature
Of the Inauguration was the use of
the photograph system installed
and operated by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company at
Washington for the purpose of trans
hitting pictures over telephone wires
to distant cities so that events &C.
curing at the time of the Inaugural
tion could be pictured by the news
papers and other periodicals for the
benefit of their readers who were so
much interested in this great national
occasion.

When President Herbert Hoover was
inaugurated, thousands lining Penn
sylvania Avenue witnessed the in
augural parade, which was one of the
most spectacular in recent years
Other thousands at the Capitol heard
the ceremonies as the audiences OF
the past two inaugurations have done,
through the use of the Bell public
address system-something that in.
augural audiences had never been able
to do before the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Harding, March 4, 1921, when
this equipment was used the first time.
At other inaugurations the greater
number of people came to Washington
to view the parade with no expecta-
ton of hearing the words of the chief
executive of the nation.
In addition to the audience at the
Capitol, hundreds of thousands. thanks
to the advancements of science in these
modern days, sat in the comfort of
their homes unruffled by the jostling
crowds and heard the inaugural cere-
monies inducing the President and
Vice-President into office. The latter
feature was put on the air for the
first time at this inaugural. This was
q feature that had never been par
ticipated in by people far and wide
until the present time.
Indeed, with the far-reaching powers
of radio connected by telephone lines,
and other means of quick communica-
tion, harnessed for the occasion, Presi-
dent Hoover's words were literally
"heard around the world"
More than 100 radio stations of the
Columbia Chain and the National
Broadcasting Company, connected by
thousands of miles of long distance

other countries to hear the music, in

FOUR MONTHS OF THIS YEAR
129 Injuries Reported While Total
Number of Accidents Show 210
Some of Causes Alleged

According to the report Of @. O..
Reynolds, superintendent Of State
Highway police, the number Of ia
tai automobile accidents in Della
ware for the first four months of
this year showed a big increase
over the same period in 1928. So
far this year there have been 20
persons killed in automobile acci-
dents compared with six in the
same period of 1928. Of the num-
Der killed II we're pedestrians walk
ing along the roads. Some safety
engineers have recommended that
pedestrians walking along roads at
night tie white handkerchiefs on
their arms to attract attention of
the motorists and in this State
signs have been placed asking pc
destrians to walk facing traffic. In
most cases, however, this is not
done. There was total Of 129 in
jured in the first four months as
compared with 90 last year. The
total number Of accidents was 210,
as against 159 in 1928. Motor We

deaths and accidents at railroad
crossings for two. There were 80
slightly asd IL seriously injured
with 26 pedestrians slightly injur-
ed and three seriously. There were
lat accidents occurring on dry days
and 16 on wet, Straight road speed
ing caused 134 mishaps and there
were so at intersections. But Is
occurred at curves six at railroad
crossings and five at street car
crossings. Recklessness, with 35

last year, led the list. Inattention

Grating while drunk 10. The last

Christian Science Churches

"Adam and Fallen Man" was the
subject of the Lesson-Sermon in
all Churches of Christ Scientist, on
Sunday May II. Golden Text
'They which are the children of the
flesh, these are not the ciidren of
God: but the children Of the prom
ise are counted for the seed"
(Romans 9:8). Among the cita-
tions which comprised the Lesson
Sermon was the following from the
Bible: "And the Lord God formed
man Of the dust Of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became a
living soul" Genesis 2:0. The
Lesson-Sarmon also included the
following passages from the Chris
tian Science textbook, "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy: "The name
Adam represents the false suppo-
sition that Life is not eternal, but
has beginning and end; that the in
finite enters the finite, that intelli-
gence passes into non-intelligence,
and that Soul dwells in material
sense; that immortal Mind results
in matter, in mortal mind; that the
one God and Creator entered what
He created, and then disappeared
in the atheism of matter" (p.56O).

KING GIVES TINY
CHAIR TO PRINCESS
Queen Victoria Had It Made for
Prince Edward in 1s4s So He
Could Be at Ease.

LONDON, (N.ANA.).- The King has
just given to Princess Elizabeth a minia-
ture easy chair made for King Edward
in 1848. When Queen Victoria took her
little boy to Balmoral for the first time.
she discovered that there was not one
chair in the state room at the castle in
which the little prince could look as IL
he were at ease. So she had this small
chair especially made for him, with its
back and sides upholstered in tartan.
Queen Mary had the chair renovated
before it went to Princess Elizabeth. It
has been beautifully upholstered In an
old brocade of rose with tiny golden
stars powdered over it, in keeping with
style. The front legs of the chair, how
ever, in spite of polishing and repolish-
ing, still show signs of dents and
Scrapings caused by the kicks Of restless
little feet.
Princess Elizabeth is going to start
lessons in earnest next year, but there
will be nothing of the too-rigid school
atmosphere at 145 Piccadilly, for the
Duchess of York wants her little girl to
enjoy her lessons. The princess is found
OF listening to verse, and besides having
quick memory for catching infections
OF mood and manner.
She has, In fact, a real talent for
mlmicry which is no doubt inherited
from her mother, who, when she was q
child, loved dressing UP and playing
parts. The princess also will be taught
music and dancing, and later languages
VIII form an important part of her edu.
