Washington. March J. Formal ceremonies of inauguration which mark Um beginning of the second term of President Wilson and Vice President Marshall wiil be held at noon in the Senate Chamber and in the open air at the eui front of the Capitol. Precedent tot holding inaugural oeremonlea on March t when March 4 fails on a Sunday, was set as early as 1821 by President Monroe, on the advice of Chief Justice Marshall, and was followed by Presidents Taylor and Hayes, President Wilson's inaugura tion is the fourth under such cir cumstances. Nothing has been left undone to make the occasion a great demonstra tion of Americanism. The Capital has been decked In American flags and the Red, White and Blue, to the exclu sion Of all other colors. The note of patriotism predominates in every ceremony of the day; it is the motif of the Inaugural procession, and i. the theme of what is expected to te the most elaborate display of night fireworks ever seen in this country. Thousands of visitors are pouring into the city from thousands of places Historic Pennsylvania avenue has wen banked high with reviewing stun Is along the entire line of march. Win dows, roots and all other points of vantage have been capitalized in ac cordance with the advance cost of all luxuries. The way from the Capitol to the White House Is one waving lane of American flags, bunting, electric lights, arches, columns and festoons of color. At the Capitol, where the Inaugural stand has been built en the Plaza at the east front, a great space has been roped oft. where the President's mili tary escort. Including the cavalry from Fort Myer, the West Point cadets and the entire corps of midshipmen from Annapolis, will form a square while Mr. Wilson is delivering his inaugural address. Formal Ceremonies. The formal ceremonies are set by program to begin at the Capitol at noon. Ordinarily, they seldom have started at that hour because they have been dependent on the end of the ses sion of Congress Often In the last hour of crush and hurry, the hands of the clock In the Senate or House have been turned back as there was need, so that whatever time It really was, it officially was 1 o'clock, noon, when Cong reus ended Its session and the Inaugural ceremonies began by the convening of the Senate of the next Congress in extraordinary session. All this is altered this year because starch 4 falls on Sunday. Early tomorrow morning, prepara tions will begin at the White House for the President's procession to the Capitol, where first he will attend the Inauguration of the Vice President In x I v 1 jNf ( 1 A v rr. ..v. k ; - , I r-rl:;:VrJ .

It will' be the first time with in the memory of local ollicials that a Vice President's wife has accom panied him in an inauguial proces sion. The precedent by which a Presi dent's wife accompanied him was created by Mrs. Taft. in 1909. At President Wilson's first inauguration the Essex, N. J., Troop acted as his escort. This time the President de clined all offers and selected a troop of regular cavalry. Although the streets generally are lined with sightseers at that early hour, the march to the Capitol gener ally Is uneventful and takes about 12 to 15 minutes. While the President is on his way to the Capitol, the remainder of the inaugural party will be assembling there. The capacity of the galleries in the Senate chamber lsnot great and for that reason only two tickets of admission have been Issued to each of the Senators and Senators elect and jonly one to each Represen tative or Representative-elect. These same tickets entitle the holders to seats on the inaugural stand outside. The reserved gallery on the east side of the chamber will be set aside for invited guests of the President, Vice President, President protemore of the Senate, Speaker of the House, Justices of the Supreme Court, mem bers of the Cabinet and Senators. The diplomatic gallery will be reserved, as usual, for families of members of the corps. The doors for those hold ing cards of admission to the galleries will be opened at 10 o'clock, and an hour later the doors of the Senate chamber will be opened to those en titled to seats on the floor. When the President arrives at the Capitol, he goes to his room and awaits the hour for beginning the ceremonies. Representatives and Representatives-elect will assemble in the House chamber and march over to the Sen ate chamber, entering at the south door. Meanwhile the diplomatic corps, resplendent In full regalia, will be assembling in the marble room and when the party la complete, will be announced and escorted to places on the Senate floor. AH others entitled to admission to the floor will, mean while, be entering through the bronze door. When all this party has been seat ed, the Supreme Court will be an nounced and will be followed by re tiring Senators and Representatives. Members of th Cabint and high offi cers of the army and navy will have seats reserved for them. Then President Wilson will be es corted to the chamber and seated di rectly in front of the Vice President's desk. The committee on arrange ments will take seats to his right and left The Vice President will be es corted into the chamber, and after the Prsldent protempore has called the Senate to order In extraordinary ses sion, the oath of office will be admin istered to the Vice President who then will deliver his inaugural ad dress.

On the Inaugural stand, the Presi dent will take a seat with the Chief Justice on his right and the com mittee on arrangements and the ser geant at arms of the Senate on his left. Former Presidents, former Vice Presidents, Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, the Vice President, secretary of the Senate, Senators and former Senators will be ranged In long lines of seats to the right of the President Just behind them will be seated retiring members of the House and members-elect The diplomatic corps also will be seated to the Presi dent's tight and to his left will be Governors of States and Territories, members of the Cabinet, and the mili tary party which accompanied the President from the Senate chamber. When the President takes the oath at the public ceremony the Chief Justice steps forward, Bible in hand to administer the oath of office. He repeats, and the President touching his Hps to the Bible, repeats after him, this oath prescribed by the Con stitution: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of Presi dent of the United States, and win. to the best of my ability, preserve, pro tect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The next thing on the program is the delivery of the President's ad dress. At its conclusion, most of the party except the President and Vice President and their escorts return to the Capitol, while the President and Vice President with their escorts, head the Inaugural procession to the White House. When the procession has reached the Court of Honor directly in front of the Executive Mansion, It will halt while the President, Vice President and their parties take places In the reviewing stand. Then the proces sion will pass along, disbanding a little further on. The procession moves by In tv steady stream of marchers, often re quiring six and seven hour to paaa the reviewing stand. State delega tions sing their State hymns. South ern allegations give their shrill "reoei yell," Grand Army veterani trudge past giving cheers, the midshipmen and West Point cadets march by "eyes left" and the many military organizations pass at salute. All dur ing the ceremony, which become physically exhausting, the President stands, head uncovered, acknowledg ing greetings. By the time the last of the march ers has passed. It is dark, and from the great green expanse at the foot of the Washington Monument comes the sound of exploding bomb which gives the signal for a display of fire works. The President and his family generally see this spectacle from the south windows of the Executive Man sion, while thousands of people grouped on the sloping mound which rises to the base of the monument see It as if assembled in a natural amphitheater. It Is always past mid night before the last of It is over. A REAL TONIC, APPETIZER AND DIGESTIVE AID.

Automobile values as at present established are largely due to the foresight and courage of Mr. John' N. Willys, the president of this institution. He foresaw the universal use of the automobile and had the courage to produce quality cars in larger quantities than they had ever before been produced. Steadily increasing production made possible savings and economies which steadily reduced costs and repeatedly established new values. Eight years apfo, with a net worth of little more than $50,000 this com pany produced 465 cars. This year, with a net worth of over $68,000,000 we must produce over 200,000 cars to fill our dealers' contracts. It has required an enormous invest ment in plant and equipment to prepare for this 'enormous produc tion. The prjme requisite in the automobile industry is still foresight and cour age. Mr. Willys foresees a demand this year in excess of the possible supply. In addition to enormous investment' in plant and equipment Mr. Willys had the courage to contract long ago for enormous quantities of raw materials $35,000,000 worth al ready in hand for this year's record production. all this reflected in the values we have to show you in the most comprehensive line of cars ever built by any one producer. Note especially the remarkable values represented in the Big Four at $S50 and the Light Six at S9S5. Four 850 OVERLAND CAROLINAS CO., Distributors Phone 2596 Charlotte, N. C. 436 W.
