"Something must be done or the fabric will fall, for It Is certainly tottering," he declared. Ho was kept hard at work recouping his personal losses suffered during the war, partly through neglect of his estates and also because of a depreciation of paper money which cost him. $30,000. However, he found time to repeatedly write to prominent men urging that steps be taken to form an Indissoluble union. These letters aided greatly in massing sontlment for a stronger and sounder government. Tho rebellion of Daniel Shays and his army of 2000 farmers In Massachusetts with the resultant destruction of property, led Washington to decide that radical roform was necessary. necessary Washington was chosen- one of Virginia's five delegates to the constitutional convention. which opened May 13, 1787, In Philadelphia, to "render the federal constitution adequate to the exigencies of the union." He was unanimously chosen-to preside over the convention and his Influence did as much, if not more, than any other force in bringing the delegates to an agreement and to obtals ratification of the constitution The electors choserr' in. 1789!, were unanimous in thoi ft choice of Washington as first president of the United- States. He demurred at first, distrusting his own abilities, but finally accepted. He received congressional notification of the honor of April 16, 1789. TOMOKICOW: The first president, ho did.

Tho semi-final bout, a 10 rounder In. the national boxing association light heavyweight elimination tourn ament, resulted in an upset vlotory for George Nichols, a stiff punching southpaw, from Buffalo, N. Y over Billy Jones, Philadelphia negro. Jones was a top heavy favorite to reach the final of the tournament, but was knocked down twice for nine-counts and although he finished well, failed to overcome Nichols' lead.

Production1 of the 102 mills nr 1929 was 3,033 million Xeet; in 1930 It was 3,225 million feeti and in 1931 it Was 2.113 million feet.
