with flags. Other views show the

addresses on the front steps of the
Capitol As could be expected, the
most vigorous delivery is shown to
be that OF President Theodore
Roosevelt. A side view shows the
Rough Rider chopping down a tree
foot thick. 1t is noticeable that
each time his ak bit into the trunk
the tree swayed and shook as the
shirt-sleeved President put the
weight Of his 200 pounds into the
stroke.
Pictures of the Wilson-Taft pa
rade OF 1918 recall that horses still
were the means Of locomotion. and
IN fact, it is not until the 1921
Harding parade that the first high
bodied. brass-bound jalopy is seen.
The 1917 war hysteria is evident in
the second Wilson inaugural where
milling crowd on the Capitol plaza
may be seen rushing up to get a
better listening point. Mr.. Preston
explained that at that time the
crowd had been held go feet back
from the presidential stand and
later was permitted to move in
closer to the foot Of the raised plat
form.

By FRED n. MoRHARr. Jr,

A collection of films giving recol-
lections of inaugurals from McKin-
ley to Coolidge has been sent the
National Archives, 1t was revealed
today as the film section examined
the perturbation of the historic
events.
The collection was gathered and
presented to President Coolidge after
he left the White House. The Presi-
dent as former head of the Amer
lean Antiquarian Society willed II
reels of pictures to the organization.
The society recently sent the film to
Washington for safe haven in the
Archives vaults.
The views of the Mckinley inau-
gural parade are believed to be the
only ones in existence. Dated March
4, 1897, the film is only II feet long.
The incoming President is shown
with his hat of waving to the crowds
as the procession moves down Penn
sylvania avenue from the White
House to the Capitol. His carriage
is drawn by four jet-black horses
with the driver and coachman
perched on a high seat in the front.
Policemen Bearded.
The historic II feet also reveal
that Washington police at the time
were not the clean-shaven men Of
today. On the near side in one view
is mounted policeman with a mop
like beard. From each ear, the
beard flows down over the chin and
spreads in grand array on the off,
GERS upper chest. On his head is
the old-style derby helmet. Flank
ing the presidential carriage are
shown the ever-pfesent Secret
Service agents and a number of
neWspapermen. Farther back in
the line also is shown a carriage,
which James D. Preston. assistant
secretary. of the Archives, identified
as carrying more newspapermen.
