 In January, 1897, President Roo sevelt took his oath in downpour but even then there were no va cant seats and not much standing room. That was the first time the inauguration was held on January 20 instead of March and many were the murmurs that one of the great benefits of the Lame Duck amendment would be that hereafter the inaugural would be held in- doors. Plans, however, were made for the outdoor inaugural again this year without any official sug- gestion of change, but as the time approaches and stretches. of bad weather lengthen, there Is much

SAME OLD BOARDS

By coincidence, President Roo- sevelt will be taking his oath from the same boards that he did in 1932, but not in '36. The contrac- tor, who built the stands in 1882 missed the bid in '36, but made it this year and announced glee- fully to Lynn that he had the cut lumber, columns and roof all in storage
 By coincidence, too, if the weather is good on January 20 the assembled throng may sec a dramatic bit of ceremony which the President himself planned but which didn't come off four years ago. By prearrangement, as the President started his oath, the Presidents flag was to be run slowly up the flagpole that rose from the gable over his head, reaching the top of the mast as the last word was spoken. The device worked perfectly and so did the hidden attendant under heath the stands. The flag went up all right, but in the murk f one of the worst winter rains Of the season, few persons were able to see it.
