INAUGURAL PAGEANT
Washington to Hoover
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE.

Practically unnoticed by the crowd,
Prof. Morse sent the first telegrapnlc
news of an Inauguration from the
portico platform.
The press in dignified phrases an
nollnced that a celebrated bird" Mino,
from the East Indies, was for sale at
the bar Of Coleman's Hotel. "Beauu-
full of figure, rich and Variegated IN
color" this bird could utter with dis
interested cordially the names OF
Polk and of Dallas, the Vice President.
"Sumptuous" inaugural dinners were
served for so cents and in the evening
there were two inaugural balls. For the
one at Carusi's saloon tickets sold for
$40. "This was the swell affair" says
cotemporary writer. For the other,
at the National Theater, the admission
fee was So. This was attended by
large crowd, but was rather badly
Mrs. Polk was dignified and of re-
lipious nature. browning upon cards,
dances and other vanities. To the
charms of a fine person, however. she
united intellectual accomplishments OF
a high order. Sweetness OF disposition,
gracefulness, ease of manner and beau
ty of mind were highly blended in her
character"
A washington correspondent wrote
this description of President Polk at a
reception given on Christmas eve:
Last evening had an opportunity
of seeing the members of the royal fam
! ily, together with some choice specl-
mems of the democracy, in the circle
room of the White House. 1t was re-
ception night and the latch string IN
| the shape of a handsome Negro was
outside the door.
ION entering I found a comfortable
roomful, with little man, whom !
would have taken in any other place

the fire, bowling and shaking hands in
the most precise and indiscriminate
manner. He is affable and ordinary
enough in. conversation to prevent one
from feeling that he is in direct con-
tact with the concentrated majesty Of
the whole United States and Terri

warm water and soap and rinse enough,
making the final rinse extremely cold.
Repeat this every few days, as the
cleansing cannot go very deep, so 1t
takes many attempts to get all of the
hardened soil from the pores. Eat more
fruit, especially grapefruit or oranges,
before breakfast. Drink plenty Of water
between meals, and If conditions do not
improve, try agar agar to cleanse the
digestive tract occasionally. Your skin
will not be so. dry after you have estab-
lished a healthier condition in your
system. .,
Mrs. A. A.: If you find that olive oil
cleanses the pores better for you than
cleansing cream, there is no reason
for changing it. The usual cleansing
cream formulas do not have nourishtng
oils in them because the intention is
merely to reach the soil in the pores
after which all Of 1t Is washed of the
skin.
Proud Mother: Try this exercise to
build up the muscles of chest, ribs and
back. Grasp the waistline at the sides,
with thumbs to the front and the four
fingers toward the back. Bring elbows
forward as far as possible without los
ing the grasp, then backward as far as
| you can. Repeat over and over with
| out firing yourself.

Have you a habit of. wrinking your

There are ways of smoothing out
rorehead wrinkles once they've formed,

In her arms and Billy, for the first

Two full days these two shared
each others devotion. Then Billy
learned that his mother was 20 leave
that ne was to become an orphan
again.
She could not, she explained be-
cause OF her secure standing, because
Of new found friends, take to her
home a Chinese boy. Would Billy
understand?
He did. And with the philosophic
calm and fatalism OF the Oriental
he accepted the newer life that had
been created for him.
SO Billy goes about the orphanage
with a big secret in his heart. His
secret and his mothers. He loved
this strange woman that had come
to find him. Would he bring sorrow
into her life, she who had been 50
kind as to look for him all these
years? Not Billy.

VI TRIES TO BURN It
Combined U. S. and Railway
Building Gasoline Soaked
and Looted.
By star Correspondent of Tn. star.


LANHAM. Nd, September ia rob-
Der last night broke in the combinat ton
railroad station and post Office here and,
after rif1ing mail, taking several letters
and about $50 IN cash, poured gasoline
ON the foor and attempted to FIRE the
station.
A trackwalker for the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which runs through Lanham
on the main line between Washington
ana Baltimore. found the. station door
open about s o'clock this morning and
an empty hah-gallon jar outside. Call
ing II. a. Downes, the station agent and
postmaster, who had left the building
at O'clock last night, the two men
found within the building evidences of
robbery and attempted arson.
A drawer, containing records, had
peen pulled from file and gave out
smoke as the two men entered. En-
trance had been gained by forcing the
door, and the fact that the building
was not destroyed by fire was explained
by detectives who investigated as being
due to accident.
Capt. w. A. Palmer, superintendent
Of Pennsylvania Railroad police. arrived
from Baltimore this morning and
took the case in charge, having the
cooperation Of three Washington
detectives, Sergt. Joe Waldron and
Detectives Fowler and Sandberg.
The half-gallon jar, which had con-
tanned gasoline, and which the detec-
tives said was brought to the scene
for the purpose of burning the build
ing, was found to have fingerprints on
1t and q search Of prison records was
instituted on the basis Of the marks.
A small safe under a ledge IN the
little post ONCE and agents ONCE was
left untouched. Several letters were
taken from the pigeonholes for rural
free delivery and frst-class mail in
pigeonholes near the entrance was
burned.
The station building is somewhat re-
from the small community Of 200
residents which concentrates along the
Defense highway and the news Of the
robbery was not generally known.
Downes said he had not been accosted
by any suspicious characters and had
no suspicion about who committed the
crime. He had resumed business today.
