affixed to a railing directly in front
of the Presidents rostrum.
Crowd Prepared for Worst.
The crowd had come prepared for
the worst. Everywhere there were
colorful shawls and blankets, keep
ing the wind out and the spirits up.
Many had supplied themselves with
vacuum bottles Of coffee and other
fortifying beverages, while statesmen
circulated everywhere with coffee
and hot dogs. Concessionaires said
they had 1,400 dozen hot dogs and
$50 gallons of coffee on hand to start
with, and by II o'clock they were
thinking of calling for reserves.
Ice cream and soft drinks, avail
able at stands in the rear of the
plaza, were not selling very fast.
Police and soldiers detailed to the
area appeared to have no trouble
keeping the crowd in order. They
were cheerful and helpful, though
long hours of standing obviously
had chilled them to the bone.
Loudspeakers Amuse Crowds.
During the morning the loud
speaker system which later was to
project the Presidents voice for
hundreds of yards across the plaza
blared happily away with jazz songs
taken from radio programs. Oc-
casionally, as the engineers twisted
the dial, the crowd was treated to
brief snatches of commercials spon-
soring soap, breakfast foods and
other commodities. Loud laughter
greeted each Of these slips, and the
dial was hastily twisted to another
station which had music on the air.
Once, the music was interrupted
while an oficial announced to the
out-of- -towners in the crowd that
they could still get rooms to sleep
in tonight if they went to the In
augural Housing Bureau at 500
Fourteenth street NV. The Ma
rine Band began to play for the
crowd at II o'clock.
The foreign emissaries, SO Of
whom were invited to attend the
ceremony, began to arrive at the
Capitol as early as 1890 am. Many
of them were dressed In colorful
uniforms. They alighted from their
cars at the Senate entrance to the
Capitol and were escorted to the
Senators reception room to await
the hour when they were to take
their seats ON the platform.

Colorful and Cheerful Scene.
The National Anthem was played
once more by the Marine Band, and
then the giant crowd began to mill
about, getting ready to try to catch
glimpse of the parade, which was
to start after the President had a
quick bite of lunch in the Capitol
office of Senate Secretary Les Biff1e.
The scene in the plaze as crowds
gathered throughout the morning
was both colorful and cheerful.
Dominating everything, was the
great arch of the Capitol dome,
standing out freshly in the sunlight
against the clear blue OF the sky.
