NEW YORK CELEBRATES THE
INAUGURATION OF GEORGE
WASHINGTON AS PRESIDENT

New York is a scene Of intense
activity and life. The streets are
full, the hotels overfowing and
every avenue and street is bub-
bling with life. The decorations
are on an immense scale, and for
miles the bunting adorns the build
ings or futters in the breeze. This
is especially SO on Roadway, Fifth
Avenue and the other streets on
which the long line of procession
will march The train bearing the
Delaware militia and the Delaware
Legislature got there yesterday
about 4 o'clock, about 500 strong
45O soldiers and about so civilians.
The first marched to the 69th
Armory where they will quarter
through the celebration, and those
who came at the expense OF the
State, at the Grand Central Hotel,
which is large hostelrie centrally
located. The novel celebration
yesterday which was the feature
of Monday was over when the
trains got there in the afternoon,
but every craft on the North and
Tast rivers was gaily decked with
the national and other colorS, and
presented a beautiful appearance.
The first regiment Of soldiers seen,
on arriving at Jersey City, was all
the way from Kansas City. It is
expected that there will be $4,000
soldiers in the procession to-day.
The contingents from the different
States were arriving all day yes
terday, and those from the near
places are coming in this morning.
Some of these regiments of citizen
soldiers present magnificent ap-
pearance. The air Is filled with
music from thousands of brazen
throats, gay chargers march
proudly at the head of the differ
ent organizations, and the rank
and lie keep step to the rhythm of
motion. The people are every
wher on the quivive to see the
President and other dignitaries,
and take it all in all, New York,
that is used to big things, has new
er had one equal to this. Tie
question is often asked, what
would General Washington think
if he could see the difference in
New York now and one hundred
years ago, and the result in civil
ization and expanding our domain
as the result of his bravery, and

-Four Anti-Aircraft
Marine batiaIions
Being Formed
Mobile Units to Defend

 It is a magnificent production. Some notion of the scale on which this film has been produced can be gained from the fact that one single setting cost $1O,000. Nothing about this. set was extraordinary. The cost came about merely to make the set perfect and authentic.
 Absolute realism was insisted on for this production. In the early sequences, Claudette Colbert oper- ates restaurant, specializing in flapjacks- For the week spent in shooting this sequence. a tank of real pancake batter was mixed, cooked and eaten every day. The daily cost of the food used in this restaurant, bread, butter, tea, cof- fee, doughnuts, cake and pie was amazing A replica of the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk was built, extending over 250 feet and fur nished with shops and booths { An apar tment furnished in mod ernistic style was built for Warren Williams home and the New York town house which was Miss Col bert's home was furnished in every room in Adam style from fireplaces to picture moulding A deep sea fishing expedition was outfitted to bring in a collection of rare fish to stock nine small aquariums in the setting representing Warren Will Ham's study. William is marine scientist in the picture. This expe- dition was out of sight of land for five weeks. A fishing ship had to be chartered for this voyage. Tank trucks were hired and filled with tea water to bring the fish to the studio in their own element. The setting itself beyond all this initial expense, cost upward of $10,000 to outfit, with it's plate glass tanks and sheet iron reservoirs from which they were refilled.

Because the jolly old gentleman
no one knows exactly how old
works for the most part on Christ
mas Eve when little folks are well

showing of just what the lovable
old fellow looks like was arranged

Club.
With much fanfare that smacked
of modernism and necessity, the
relocated gentleman from some
where in the north came to Sank
Centre with a rush, abandoned his
traditional reindeer and sleigh and
ushered into the city it's first bit
of real Christmas spirit-and the
best pre-holiday crowd merchants
have seen on the street this season.
The crowd of youthful visit
ors that began assembling in a
jOstling melee as early as an
hour before his scheduled ar

Fire Destroys
Eagle
Building
Contents, Including
Dental Equipment,
A Total Loss
OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN
Sank Centre Depart
ment Aided In
Saving Other Buildings

Sank Centres fire department
was called to Grey Eagle Monday
night, shortly before nine o'clock,
where a fire threatened the bust
ness section of the village. A large,
frame dwelling, oldest building on
Main Street, used as a home and
dental office by DR.. o. L. Geyer,
was totally destroyed by a fire of
unknown origin.
This structure, adjoining on the
east of the State Bank building,
was burned to the ground and all
contents were destroyed, including
valuable dental equipment. Our
Grey Eagle correspondent inform
ed us that the building and con-
tents were partly covered by in
surance.
This building was erected over
forty years ago by the late S. N.
Thompson, who was well-known in
this city.
DR.. and Mrs. Geyer were not at
home when the fire broke out, as
they had left for the cities at five
o'clock Monday afternoon and re-
turned Tuesday morning, we were
informed.
We were informed also that the
Sank Centre fire department aided
greatly in saving the nearby build
ings, and that their work was high
ly appreciated. When the fire was
discovered it was too late to save
the building, and all efforts were
conferred on the protection of other
nearby business places.
