Washington. 1). (’., I«>b. 12.—Peering back through the vista of years—back through the inauguration of Grant, Lin coln, Monroe, Jackson, Madison, Jefferson, , Washington and other of the notable Presidents of the United States—one finds much of romance and color. Indeed, a dose study of the various ceremon nls I attending inductions into the presiden* j tial office is more or less a survey of the gradual development of the nation and ■its changing customs and sentiments, j Washington was inaugurated in New York it) list) for his first term, and trav eled from Mount \ ernon by horseback and horse-drawn coaches. For his second 1 term Washington was inaugurated in jPh ladelpbia. In the meantime the Pis- j trict of Columbia was proposed, but the pr< jeet had not become an accomplished fait at the beginning of the term of John Adams, so he also was inaugurated in Philadelphia. When JeffeEson was elect ■ ed the new Federal capital had been lftid j out and named 'Washington and the “sage of Monticello" was the first' to be 'in stalled here. Jefferson rode to Washing ton on horseback from Monticello, and was escorted into the city by a troop of cavalry. Alone he rode in a carriage to )‘the Capitol. About a thousand people j viewed his inauguration. The next in auguration, that of Madison, is said to have been attended by ten thousand peo ple. President Monroe was the first to I take the oath of office out of doors. John Quincy Adams was not inaugur ated on March 4, because an electioh contest in the House postponed the cere mony until late that mouth. When final ly held it was the most elaborate cere mony of its kind. The inauguration of Andrew Jackson in 1.820 probably would have been more elaborate had not the in coming President been in mourning for his wife. He rode to the Capitol in a carriage construed from the hull of the old frigate Constitution. President Van Bureu's inauguration was attended by 20,000 persons. Citizen soldiery participated in such 1 ceremonies for the first time at the in- 1 abgiiration of William Henry Harrison. Tyler, who succeeded Harrison within a month, took the oath privately without : ceremony or display of any kind while the country was in mourning. President I President Polk appears to have been the ‘ first to feel the discomfort of being in- ' augnrated in the open a : r in a vigorous spring blizzard. President Taylor’s inauguration was 1 the first to fall on March 5. Millard 1 Fillmore, who became President through ' the death of Taylor, succeeded to the of fice without ceremony of any kind, al- * though he took the oath before Con- 1 gress. Pierce and Buchanan were in- ' augurated with the usual ceremonies. Lincoln's first inauguration was nota- 1 ble in many respects. The country on ; the verge of civil war, trembled w : th mix- ( ed emotions. Lincoln’s friends were fill- 1 ed with apprehensions for his safety. For I the first time in American inaugurals ’ troops .were Ordered to the Capitol. Lin- I coin's second inauguration reflected the great war in which the country was 1 locked. The induction of Andrew John- 1 son after Lincoln’s ass : ssination. was 1 conducted in a room in a hotel without < ostentation. * ( Grant came into office with the great- j est spectacular display seen up To that time. President Hayes was surrounded with elaborate precautions for his person- 1 al safety, because of intense feeling cu- 1 gendered by the celebrated controversy with Tilden. Garfield’s inauguration was 1 without unusual incident. President 1 Arthur, in succeeding the martyred Gar field, took the oath twice, first at home 1 in New York and again at the Capitol. ( Ideal, weather marked Cleveland’s first 1 inauguration, but Harrison was not so fortunate with the weather for his inaug uration. nor was Cleveland the second time. McKinley had a beautiful day for 1 his “first inauguration but a rainy one for His second. Roosevelt's inauguration was the occasion for great demonstration. Taft came in with a howling blizzard. 1 The inaugurations of Wilson and Harding were without unusual incident. WOMEN AND CHILDREN KILLED IN BED BY GAS Bodies Found by Husband This Morning When He Returned From Work. Pasaic, N. J., Feb. 12. —Mrs. Louis Sander and her three children were found dead of gas poisoning in a bed today by her husband when he returned from work. The eldest child was 8 years old. Gas was flowing from jets in the kitchen and living room. The police express the opinion that the death-s were not accidental. Mrs. Sander worked in a worsted mill in the day time, and her husband worked at night. The police wea-e informed Mrs. Sander had quarreled with a neighbor. Rattlesnake Hears With Tongue. Los Angeles, Feb. 12.—The original antenya for radio, according to Jack All man, Los Angeles curator of reptiles, was the rattlesnake’s tongue. "When a rattlesnake is dormant or sleeping,” Mr. Allman said recently, “its tongue i* idle. But when aroused it starts shooting that forked tongue from 1 its mouth and seems to both feel and .hear through it. I have seen rattle snakes appear as thpugh uninformed of, Imy approach when their tongues were ( i not moving back and forth from their mouths, but the moment they became con scious of it the tongues started . R snakes have no ears, but those little I tentacles on the end of the tongue serve the purpose.” _ ■ May Sell Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. Stock. J Newary, N. J„ Feb.

S. S. Institute Got Off T 0 Fine Start Last Night r Despite the Rain First Ses sion, Held in First Baptist Church Here, Was Attend ed by Many. THREE ADDRESSES DURING EVENING Dr. D. Burt Smith, D. W. Sims and Miss Daisy Magee Discussed Vital Sunday School Subjects. t • i * Notwithstanding rain the first ses sion of the Concord Township Sunday School Institute, held in the First Bap tist Church was well attended last eve ning. The first speaker of the evening was Dr. I). Burt Smith. Philadelphia, Pa., of 1 the Department of Sunday Schools, Unit ed Evangelical Lutheran Church. His theme was “The Sunday School An Edu cational Compliment.” Iu speaking on the subject he said: The three underlying principles of Sunday School work dated back to Bib lical times, that early in Biblical history was found graded groups. A Supreme Book, and methods of teaching. There is an education outside the church .but the Sunday School adds to that process in rounding out the four folk life. The Sunday School, continued the speaker, should add intellectual content. In Sunday School the> pupils should be taught to know the truth, to recall it, to understand the why of it. and to use it. The conception of Christ should be so definite that the truths for which He s*tood will be known, recalled, understood, and used. The Bible is a vital message from God, and it should mean more than historical j fact* to the children. Its message should j be to them a vital living truth which they | ran use. The curriculum of the Sunday School should be Bible centered. In tne second place the Sunday School should standard the emotions. The con trol of the emotions make life. This con trol determines one of two things : whetli-- era person tis for self or for others. The person who lives only for self is a dangerous person to the community, con- j tinued the speaker, but he who lives for! others ii a force for good to all. », 1 Dr. Smith said tliere are three loves, a love 6f/pasfuou. which is •given no place in the «ible, a love of nlifeetioß such as exist between friends, and a selective love as was demonstrated by God when He se lected to give His Sou for a sinful world. All who g : ve themselves for the good of others show such love. 111 the third place the Sunday School j must develop the social life. Social life I never stands still. Its trend is either j upward or downward. Purpose of every | educational process is social. The Sun day School which is,an educational force lias the opportunity to grade the social level upward. Everything that goes beyond self grat ifieatiop is social, and all soc : al acts in fluence others. The Sunday School must also educate j the will, causing the pupil to will to do . the right tiling. ’ In speaking on the “Key to a Greater Sunday School,’’ D. W. Sims, of Raleigh, General Superintendent of the North Carolina Sunday School Association, said in part: | “All keys have three essentials —first the handle, second the barrel, or shaft, to conduct the power from the handle to the | IKiints in the lock to be turned, and ( third, the teeth, or that portion of the key which actually turns the lock.” Ac cording to Mr. Sims, the same three vital IKiints hold true of the Sunday School • key. The handle, he stated, is prayer. .In this connection he referred to several Sunday Schools that have have a ten or ( fifteen minutes prayer* service for the of- j fleers and teachers of the Sunday School immediately preceding the time for open ing the regular session. Efford, or work, was the next essential r’n the Sunday School which Mr. Sims stated corresponds with the barrel or shaft of the key. “A greater Sunday School,” said the speaker, “means more work, more planning, and carefully con sidering weak points of the school by the leaders.” Mr. Sims referred to the im portance of special effort being made be tween Sundays to bring back absentees; effort iu looking after new pupils; effort in planning a worth-while program; ef fort in arranging for special days. Variety was suggested by the speaker as corresponding to the teeth in the key. This, he said, would affect and reach ev ery part of the Sunday School. Variety in the worship period: variety in the sing ling, twoviding occasionally for a Solo, duet, quartette, etc. Mr. Sims also stress ed the importance of dramatizing the Bi ble lesson in the Sunday School. Miss Daisy Magee, Children’s Divis ion Superintendent of the North Carolina Sunday School Association, spoke on the “Daily Vacation Bible School” in which I she said: The Daily Vacation Bible I Schools were needed for the purpose of reaching the unreached millions with Bi ble instruction; of giving more hours to Bible Study; of raising the moral ideal and <:o win the people to Christ at the high peak of conversion which is around the fourteenth year of life. Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock in the First Baptist Church will be Feld two conferences, oue for the Cradle Roll, ! Beginners, Primary and Junior Workers, conducted by Miss Daisy Magee. The oth ‘ er will be held by. Dr. D. Burt Smith for all other Sunday School workers, j / The second session will be held this evening at 7 :30. The following will be the programs Thursday Night, February 12: ; Mr. J. J. Barnhardt, County President, r presiding. 7 :30 —Song. PUBLISHED MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS CONCORD, N.

Washington, D. C-, Feb. 11.—A sum mary of tuberculosis eradication work among livestock, just issued by the; United States department of agriculture shows much progress during December, 1924. The report is largely a statis tical statement showing the status of the work at the close of the last calendar year. The number of herds of cattle officially accredited as free from tuberculosis passed the 60,000 mark during Decem ber, reaching the total of 60,639, con taining well over a million head of cattle. Tuberculin testing was particularly ac tive ■ during the month in Minnesota, lowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and New York, states the report. Each of these states had more than 35,000 head of cattle tested. The number of counties accredited as being virtually free from bovine tuber culosis increased from 48 to 53 during December, the gains occurring in North Carolina, North' Dakota and Kansas. The remarkable popularity of tubercu losis eradication work, which is condlct ed co-operatively by the department of agriculture and the various states is seen in the consitently large waiting list of herds to be tested. On the first of Jan uary, tfiis year, the waiting list includ-| ed 223,192 herds containing nearly two I and one-half million cattle. Report Says Indians Have War Council. , Alburquerque, N.

ACTRESS FREED OF KILLING LOVER TO END HIS AGONY Jury Acquits French Woman Who Con fessed She -> Shot Fiance to Death When He Was Writhing on Death- Bed. PariJ, Feb. 11.—“ I would gladly have given all I possessed—love and life —to save him. but it was beyond human I power and I gave him eternal rest.” Thus Mile. Standiehawa |T '~*»warJ once renowned Polish frail frightened little wo\ Judge Mountoa’s the Paris assizes court as to whether she had anything to add to her defense of the charge of murdering her lover and fiance, Jean Sysnowski. Then twelve men filed out of the courtroom and after three minutes they returned with a verdict of "not guilty.” "You are free.” said the judge when the applause and cheers of the audience subsided. “I killed him through mercy and pity > for sufferings,” Mile. Uminska had replied to the judge during her examina tion. "Often when he realized that all hope for recovery must be abandoned, he begged me to put an end to his martydom- I always refused. But, when lon that fateful night of July 15 I saw him writing iu pain on what would have been his death bed in a week, I felt I must obey. I took the gun he liad_ brought into the sickroom himself for that very purpose and I shot him. I killed the man I loved. I pierced the mouth I so often had .kissed.” All this was told simply and -jyith out the appearance of histrionic effect. Doctors Paul and Roussy previously had testified that Sysnowski. wno had won some fame as a Polish author, was suffering from cancer and that he would have died within a week or ten days if Ihe had not been killed. A few days pre viously a radium treatment had been given, with no signs of improvement; then a blood transfusion, with Mile. Uminska as the giver, had been tried, likewise without success. Through all this, the doctors testified, he had dis played great courage and fortitude. “I would ha\* given every drop of my blood to save him.” Mile. Urminskn cried at this point in her testimony. The 1 note struck by the public prose cutor was a stern one. He concluded liis summing up to the jury with the words: “Thou, shalt not kill, either through hatred or love.” and then, turning to the crowds in the courtroom, he de clared : . “I want no applause or cheers should there be acquittal; let this woman leave this court in peace and silence." 1 Henri Robert, president of tne Paris liar association, who defended Mile. Uminska, made an eloquent plea in her behalf. "The naothrr of the dead man,” he said, “has sent me an ardent prayer to convey to you jurymen—that this little woman should be set free. This poor little bird with broken wings is out of place in this dock which has been the cage of wild animals. Send her home.’ POSSIBLE PANACEA IN NEW GERMICIDE Johns Hopkins Doctors Perfect Agent Harmless to Patient After Ten Years’ Labor. Baltimore, Feb. 12.—Fifty times as powerful as carbolic acid in its germi cidal action yet perfectly harmless to human beings is hexyl-resorsinol. the dis covery, development and successful use of carbide were announced at Johns Hop kins hospital today. Ten years were devoted to perfecting the antiseptic, according to I)r. Veader Leonard, chairman of the clinical eom mitte on antiseptics of the national re search council, who discovered the ger micide and developed it with his asso ciates! in the Johns Hopskins school of hygiene and public health. It was found that when certain chain like groups of atoms known as fatty acids were linked up to a resorcinal mole cule (resorcinol is very similar to car bolic acid), the germicidal power of the substance was increased, while its poisonous effect on animals was lessened, and this condition was found-to increase steadily as longer chains of atoms were used. Dr. Leonard said that in the face of many difficulties, a chain oft six groups ! xvas successfully linke<f up. when the poisonous qualities reached a minimum, and the germicidal powers their maxi mum. / The antiseptic was applied for the first time by Dr. Leonard in actual treat ment of disease among patients in the department of urology in the hospital. Infections of the kidneys of longstand ing were cleared up in forty-eight hours. The cures appeared to be permanent, and the patients showed no signs of having been harmed. A committee of fifteen has been pointed by the national research council to work with I)r. Leonard in further researches to determine how broad may by the application of hexyl-resorcinol to disease in general. The great importance of Dr. Leon ard’s discovery lies in the fact that an agent capable of destroying all germs without having any malignant effect on the human organism would be a virtual panacea for germ disease.

NINETEEN PRISONERS: : TUNNELED THEIR WAY , tnn M CAMP IN NIGHT Prisoners Were at Halifax County Prison Farm Camp When They Made Escape * During the Night. FOUR PRISONERS ARE RECAPTURED Hole Made in Floor of the > Building and Another Tun neled in Ground by Men Who Made Getaway. Raleigh, February 12.—Nineteen state prisoners tunneled their way to freedom last night from the state prison farm camp in Halifax county, according to information received here today by Su perintendent George Ross Pou. of the state prison. Four of the prisoners were recaptured early today, stated Mr. Pou but the bal ance still are at large.
