PICKARD ERBERT HOOVER is now Presi dent of the United States of America and Calvin Coolidge is again a private citizen. Despite the wishes of Mr. Hoover that inauguration be as simple as possible, the committee in charge made the event the gayest of itz kind in more a score of years, and the national eapital was thronged with visitors particl- pated in the three entertaln- ment. The feature tion for the governors of a large num- ber of states with thelr staffs, an air circus that enlisted navy and civilian aircraft, the inaugural parade and a charity ball Jeing notified 11:30 Monday morning by a committee from the sen- ate and house that the time for his inauguration was at hand, Mr. Hoover, with President Coolidge, escorted by eavalry, rode down Pennsylvania ave- nue to the capitol and, In the senate chamber, saw Vice President Dawes swear in Senator Charles Curtis as Vice President. Mr. Curtis made na short address and the Presidential party went to the inaugural stand. There Mr. Hoover took the oath of office, the than who days’ included a recep- army, great about the Supreme court. and made his in- augural address. Thereafter the Pres- dential party to the White House, ate and, from stand in front of the mansion, watched the long inaogural parade which took about four hours In passing and over which hovered a hundred airplanes. Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, following the precedent set by Theodore Roosevelt, left Washington In afternoon for their home in Northampton, Mass President Hoover's address was lls- tened to with enthusiasm not only by the radio audience that elderable part of Iation. It set hetook themselves luncheon the reviewing executive the vast crowd present but aiso by a con. the country’s popu- forth his view the state of the nation and its rela- tions with other nations and his con- ception of the policies best designed to promote peace and improve living conditions. But, important, it disclosed an eminent engineer's vision of a huge program of public works In the next four years, involving the ex- penditure of billions of dollars, and of a farm relief program that, while cost- ly, will, he believes, return tremen- dously increased profits for capital and Offsetting the great ex- penditures suggested, the new Presi dent pointed the way to govern mental economies heyond even those of administration, He proposed the elimination of waste in the processes of government to an ex- tent that would save the taxpayers more than would be expended on wa- terways, farm relief and other proj ects combined. This would be accom- plished by a radical reorganization of the federal government on scientific lines of reclassification of functions, elimination of overlapping, and event- ual reduction of personnel, embraced a of of mare labor. the Coolidge ONGRESR In Its final days cleared up some legislation and left some unfinished, killed or postponed. Fill- busters were frequent and In some cases effective. They”’caused the sen- ate to abandon the congressional re- apportionment bill passed by the house and to consent to the continua- tion by a committee of affairs of the Indian burean. The second deficiency supply bill, minus the $24,000,000 pro- hibition enforcement item, was passed by the senate after Senator Dill had conducted a filibuster on behalf of his demand that the appropriation for a survey of the Nicaragua canal route be cut in half. The senate also adopted the conference report on the naval appropriation bill after the rad- fea! group had made a hard fight, so 2.570,000 will be made available for starting work at once on the cruiser building program, Despite the stubborn opposition of the wets in the house, that body passed the senate measure, known as geadromes for transatlantic alr the offenders The the bill, which Increases maximum penalties for first the Volstead act, posed legislation for the deportation of gunmen failed the senate conferees refused to accept cer tain provisions In the house bill, hold- ing that they created unjustifiable in equities, Efforts to postpone the national orl ging immigration restriction plan, which into effect July 1, also failed. The President transmitted to congress a revision of the national origing quotas which the British quota from 655884 to 65721, and increases the German quota from 24.908 to 25,957, the Irish from 17,427 to 17.853. ] Norway is reduced from 2.403 2377. from 3, 309 to 3314, and Denmark from 1,234 to 1.181.

The edonel and Anne had been on a little air- plane ride in the course of which a landing wheel was Lindy told the young lady they would upset on landing but not to be frightened, sur- rounded her with cushions, and flew about until the gasoline was ex hausted, to avold the possibility of explosion. He then came down to ground with the utmost care and skill. The plane upset, as he expectad, and he sustained a dislocation of the shoul- der, but Anne was unhurt. The col- onel’s injury was attended to at a hospital and he took Anne home In an antomobile which he drove with his left hand. He declined to talk about the upset, insisting it was “not an ac- cident, merely a mishap.” Showing that the “mishap” hadn't daunted them, Lindy and Anne made three short flights next day, the col onel handling the plane with one hand. George Haldeman, who was Ruth Elder's pilot on her attempted trans atlantic flight, made a fine nonstop flight from Windsor, Ont. to Havana, Cuba, in 12 hours and 56 minutes. Joseph Lebrix, the French aviator, and two companions on an experi. mental mall plane flight from Paris to Saigon, Indo-China, crashed In the Gulf of Mataban, Lower Burma, when more than eight days out from Mar seilles.

The Southerner, younger, lighter and less experienced than his opponent, had rather the best of the earlier rounds, but Sharkey, generally avoiding Stribling’s really formidable right, wore him down with body blows and fairly won the decision. Both fighters were brave enough and showed considerable skill, but the sports writers present agreed that neither gave promise of being cham plonship material.
