WASHINGTON (N-KA Special)
The capital u I ready )s beginning to
spruce .up' for Its big t'uadrcnnial
show (he presidential lnuuf;u ra
tion. March 4.
. Sprucing up for t'oolidgc, how
ever, is a rather difficult jolt.
The president , preferring aim
plicity and unoatentatlon himself,
would like the affair over with
without u lot o flubdub und cere
mony. But diatom und precedent can
not be wholly overridden even by
so "common sense" u president hh
Coolidge.
Custom decrees that the victori
ous party shall throw one grand
und glorious celebration on the oc
casion of Its standard bearer's i
uugural. So, although Cool Id gc bus suc
ceeded In toning down considerably
(lie lavish festivities, he bus not
been able to ellmlnutu thein whol
ly. He forbade an official inaugural
bull, requested that visiting gover
nors bring only small staffs with
Ihein, und ordered that no mili
tary units be brought to Washing
ton to participate In the parade ex
cept such as were quartered near
enough to make the march on foot.
He wouldn't even uutliorlze the
expenditure of carfare necessary to
bring the West l'olnt and Ann-j
upolis cadets to Washington. i
Anil uti inauguration without
the presence of these cadets a feu
years ago would have been consid

However, despite the' preslden-;

For those wlv r-niuttt dunce

ball' is being organized, to take
ttie place of an pffielal inaugurul

This will be held In the city's
