WASHINGTON Scene
BY George Dixon

I MAY be stepping into an old
L gag. but a neighbor lady out
in Mclean. Va. where l live,
swears it happened to her per-
sonally.
She vows she called up the
department Of agriculture and
asked TO speak 10 some one who
could tell her about ailments Of
chickens. After talking 10 vari-
Gus parties. such as experts on
horse spavins, gooseberry graft
ing and newt culture. she finally
got a man who allowed he was
a sick chicken authority.
WELL" said the lady, "every
morning for the last few weeks
I have found two or three OF my
hens lying on their back with
their feet i'm the air. Can you
tell me what Is causing this:"
The expert "hummed' a few
times as if considering a dag
nosis. Then he asked the lady
to wait. After about 10 minutes
he came back on the line.
Madame" he said authori-
tatively. II have consulted our
best experts here. They agree
that the answer IL obvious.

THESE DAYS

THERE is no law against
Il holding the fourth in
auguration of Franklin d.
Roosevelt at the White House
instead Of at the capitol.
Nevertheless, it has been
American custom for a Presi-
dent. elected to that office, TO
come to the capitol and to de-
liver an inaugural address
there.
1t is one of those traditional
rites which, while not being
law nor even essential, receives
sanction from usage and public
favor.
THIS oath may be taken any
u where if solemnly spoken
without any reservations.
II must he repeated for each
new term, no matter how often
an American is elected Presi-
dent.
A restriction TO two terms
was also tradition and custom
but that has been changed by
Mr.. Roosevelt's aspirations and
the decision of the American
people.
Certainly there can be no ra-
tional objection TO holding the
Inauguration on the White
House steps instead Of on the
steps of the capitol.
The sentimental objection is
that il is a breach of the ira
ditions, customs and habits OF
the American people.
1t is a departure from form.
IT is another break with the
history of the country.
Mr.. Roosevelt's explanation is
that he has become economical,
which is startling from one who
has spent the nations wealth,
with such open-handed ease.
heard Ben Dean, president
of kiwanis International, tell
this story:
A professor of speech visited
a prayer meeting in a Scotch
kirk and during the evening he
was asked 10 read the Twenty
third Psalm-the psalm of the
shepherd. which begins with the
words, The Lord is my shep-
herd" He read the lines elo-
quently, with perfection OF Gull
tivation and training. The
congregants were moved. The
minister, simple man OF 20.
was then requested to read the
same psalm. lie spoke its
words in a soft, ancient voice,
without effort, without polish,
as he had done on many Sun
day. \And not an eye in the
congregation was dry.
When the professor OF speech
was asked how il happened that
when he read the psalm. the
congregation was moved by his
eloquence but when the min
iSter read il, they were moved
to tears. he replied:
"The difference Ii that I
know the psalm, but the old
minister knows the Shepherd"

clean-cut boys; in short, the
type we had as friends in civil
ian life. We accepted.
We spent very enjoyable
evening in their company, dane
ing and talking a mile a minute,
as kids do who've just met.
We had one round of drinks,
Which In my opinion does not
constitute a drunken evening.
When the club closed, they
asked TO see us home.
Earlier, something had been
said about the forthcoming
Army-Navy game. and they
asked us If we'd like TO see It,
and be their guests at the hop
later.
Naturally we were thrilled by
the invitation, which most girls
regard as an honor.
That was the evening COM
piete.
Later, we were telling some
Of the girls how Unexpectedly

It hallows institutions; 1t
makes them sacred and associ-
ates them with the eternities

The American inaugural
ought not to be something that

1t should be a ceremonious

THE BRIGHTER SIDE

WELL. of course I am much
w obliged TO Earl Shaub,
though l am a little surprised
that he deems the small feats
mentioned as worth reporting.
/ can see he does not know
about my friend Algernon, who
as mere sehoolboy was chal-
lenged to fight by a grown man
named Searles, who then sud-
denly became panic stricken and
ran TO the Union Depot and hid
in a passenger coach in a train
standing on the tracks.
When Algernon got TO the
depot no one would tell him
which car Searles had entered,
so Algy picked up the cars one
after another and shook all the
passengers out of each until he
shook out Searles. BY that time
Algernon's vexation had abated
so all he did was just throw
Searles away.
TIIE other day, while Algernon
l. was sitting on our lawn in
the gorgeous California sun
shine, he was approached by
two characters who identified
themselves as Stuporman and
Trash Boardman. They seemed
to be quite peevish about some
thing and the one who said he
was Stuporman remarked to
Algernon:

said he was Trash Boardman,
