Inauguration of President To the Jidltor of the Evening PuMlo Ledger: fllr Is the President of the United States compelled to go through a format Inaugura tion? Is there any provision of? law regu lating It or requiring him to deliver an In augural message? C1IAULE3 T. PIUOE. Philadelphia, Oct. 81, 1920. There Is no law on the subject, except the requirement of the constitution that before entering upon his duties the lrresldent-elect shall take an oath faithfully to execute the office of President and to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of tho United States That oath might legally bo admin istered by a Justlco of tho peace or a notary public, but custom has invested it with more formality and imulo it hi. liupres-dvo cere mony. The details of the Inauguration are ar rant'd b r commltteo having tho matter In chanri. and It has become the established custom for the oath to be administered by the Chief Justice of the Supremo Court on a platform erected at the cast end of the Capitol. The President Is not required to deliver an Inaugural address, but tho con stitution says lie "nhn.ll from time to time give to tha Congress Information of the state of the Union and recommend to their consideration such tmensures as ho shall Judge necessary and expedient." Washington set the example of delivering tha Inaurural address, and It has been fol lowed ever since, sometimes foreshadowing the President's policy, but icenerally tleallmr In patriotic (cenernlltles. Washington's sc. ond Inaugural address, delivered at Phils- dlphla, March -I, 171)3, consisted of twelve lines He said' "Previous to th oxetutlon of any official ntt of tho President tho' constitution re quires un oath of office. This oath I am now utxmt to taxo .inn in our preseijce. Tha( lf " should be found during my ad ministration of tho BoVermmnt I have In any Instance violated, willingly or knowing ly, the Injunctions thereof, I may (besides lncurrlrtt constitution punishment), be sub ject to the upbraiding of oil who are now witness of tho present soltmn ceremony." Husband Opposes Clubs To the h'ditorot t" 1'venlitg I'nblfo Ledger: Mr My husbtnd I, t inlet tl? opposed tn my nttendlnc club i nd nx they are no place for b married woman. 1 havo soveral chil dren, and he says it Is my dut to Htay at ho.no'and look after them. I think this Is n iwlflsh Idea, for he belongs to two clubs and spends n considerable time at them. Is he right In his objection? Arc women's clubs generally In disfavor on the part of hus bands? Mrs. CUB. Philadelphia, Ootober 29, 1020. ' It Is hot possible to give you advice on this subject, for we are not sufficiently familiar With the conditions. If .you do notneglect your duties at home, there Is no reason why you should not lielong to a club, for tho as sociation with other persons Is a recreation that Is broadening and helpful. There Is no reason why you should object to your husband's belonging to the right kind of club, It he does not neglect his busi ness or devote too much of his time away from home, .Many men find It profitable to belong to not only one club, but to a number of clubs, both from a social and business standpoint. A woman with children finds less time to spend at a club than a man, and It hardly seems likely that your husband would ob ject to your going to a club It he found that you were neglecting- none of your home duties. Probably a little heart-to-heart talk with him on the subject would clear the at mosphere tii far as both are concorced.
