The MARCH OF TIME
Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Nowsmagazine
SECOND INAUGURATION—
WASHINGTON — Following mid-morning services at St. John's Episcopal church, attended by his wife, mother, sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and miscellaneous kin besides himself, President Roosevelt motored to the capitol for his second inauguration. Jam-packed in Washington's streets under a sea of effective umbrellas were several thousand soggy people who, like congressmen and distinguished guests in the stands, had waited for hours in the cold rain. Even the roofed inaugural pavilion was swept by the gusty torrent, which kept attendants busy dumping puddles from chairs as the cabinet and seven supreme court justices took their seats. Meanwhile, refusing to hear Rear Admiral Grayson's pleas for an indoor cer-van Rosenvelt (protected from the rain by a heavy sheet of waterproof cellophane) descendant Roosevelt, as though taking up the Hughes challenge, responded with rising force and intonation: "I, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, do solemnly swear . . . (to) preserve protect and defend! . . . so help me God!" Then, after a lapse of a few minutes, he delivered his second inaugural address, presented no program, no plans but the activating sentiment of the New Deal.
HELL AND HIGH WATER—
CINCINNATI — As two weeks of rain poured down upon the United States from Arkansas to Pennsylvania, up last week rose the brown, frothy waters of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, spilling over levee tops, then surging through the Birds Point-Madrid floodway; and Arkansas reported 12 state highways on use. At Blytheville, Ark., guards were posted on the levees with orders to "shoot to kill" if Tennessee's militia dynamite the levee to save its own land. Tennessee's militia also posted on its sidekeep Arkansans and Missourians from doing likewise.
While Read Admiral Cary Grayson of the Red Cross launched a $4,000,000 drive for flood defenders, while Harry Hopkins of 40,000 WPA workers on rebuilding and relief work, while President Roosevelt mobilized army, naval coast guard, CCC, and announced that he was "taking personal charge" of the government's relief forces, army engineers they expected the Mississippi River reach the 53-foot level at Memphis where, in the epochal flood, it had set a new high only 45.6 feet.
But Memphis was unworried about the past eight years army brigades and congressional generosity has provided the Mississippi with flood control system whose life will supposedly never be proached. Declaring it "stupid to build levees on the Mississippi to hold floods which did their damage on the Ohio, Indiana Representative Glen Griswold democratic member of the high flood control committee, last week snorted: "It seems to me that congressmen from the South have been less interested in Mississippi flood control as a problem in having flood control funds spent in their own section. I argue for six years for flood control—the upper streams that feed Ohio and drain into the Mississippi before we finally got it—a bill which passed last session."
emony, President Roosevelt declared: "If they can take it, I can take it."
More than 20 minutes late, the "ex"-President and "ex"-Vice President, whose terms had expired at noon, came out to the dripping inaugural stand. There John Nance Garner, first Vice President to take his oath of office on the same platform as the President instead of separately in the senate chamber, was promptly sworn in by Senator Joseph T. Robinson. Then Franklin Roosevelt and Chief Justice Hughes stepped to the fore, the latter removing his skull cap to ask with increasing emphasis: "Do you Franklin Delano Roosevelt, solemnly swear that you will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of your ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help you God?"

"Simple Simon hit a pieman
Who was driving drunk.
Said Simple Simon to the pieman,
You are sure the bunk,
You drive along the thoroughfare
You bust my bones and do not care.
Now to a Doctor I must go
And boy, that's going to cost you 'dought.'
The moral is when you are struck
If you're not killed, you've played in luck."
and thundering into river towns, killing scores, routing hundreds of thousands from their homes, destroying millions of dollars worth of property in a 20,000-square-mile area. For size and damage, the still-rising, 1937 flood had by last week's end already exceeded as a national disaster the 1936 inundation of the upper Ohio and Susquehanna slopes. (See cut).
Because last winter was too cold and snow stayed on the ground too deep and too long, a sudden thaw sent water crushing to swell the rivers. But this year winter had not been cold enough, and instead of remaining on the ground as snow to drain gradually in the spring, the winter precipitation fell as cold rain, swelled rivers, swept 900 miles southwest through 10 sodden states.
While Pennsylvania got off comparatively easy this year, West Virginia bore the flood's brunt in the upper Ohio valley. Rising two inches an hour toward a 47-foot crest, the river submerged residential Wheeling Island, driving out 10,000; crippled mills, flooded mines, left 30,000 jobless in the area. Not a store was open on Point Pleasant's Main street. Trucks hauled everything movable back into the hills, and synagogs and churches were turned into rescue stations and refugee barracks.
First breaking all records established in the 1913 flood, the Ohio river ran hog wild to top the even more disastrous inundation of 1884. Full of foam, mud and debris, the Scioto rived swept down on Portsmouth, which seven years ago threw up a $750,000 steel-and-concrete sea wall and last year supplemented this 62-foot dike with a sandbag levee. But this year the flood was not to be cheated, "The Bottoms," Cin-
CALIFORNIA FREEZE—
LOS ANGELES—New low temperatures of 16 and 12 degrees California citrus growers rushing to their orchard one afternoon last week torches to light the great smokestacks whose smoke protects trees from frost. Awakening der a pall of smoke from the sands of smudges, Los Angeles kept its lights burning till an afternoon, traffic crawled and tarnished darkened roads, while tracing fuel for smudges were given right of way. All meant tragedy to California's end largest business, the fruit industry. With estimates claiming the 1937 freeze had stroyed half the crop ($60,000) the great freeze of 1913, we according to tradition, "practicing the entire crop" was destined still remained unbeaten.
"ON THE MARCH"—
WASHINGTON—With newations to end the great 1937 mobile labor war completely broken down fortnight ago when United Automobile Workers fled to evacuate sit-down struts from two General Motors plants in Flint, the active front shift Washington where, on Inauguration Day, Labor Secretary Fences Perkins sat down to coax with Michigan's Governor F Murphy, GM's President A P.

Just knowing the ingredients of an Angel Food Cake doesn't enable a woman to bake a good one—for the MIXING is so important. Perhaps you haven't realized that prescriptions, unlike recipes, usually give the ingredients only, and leave it to the pharmacist to know how to combine them properly.
With many prescriptions, as with an Angel Food cake recipe, this knowledge to HOW to combine the ingredients is vital.
The pharmacists at this store always "know how." They study new drugs, learn how to combine them properly with other drugs. This precaution is your best health protection.

High the Birds Point - New floodway; and Arkansas had 12 state highways out of At Blytheville, Ark., guards posted on the levees with a to "shoot to kill" if any seascape erased the river to mitigate the levee to save his land. Tennessee's militia also posted on its side to Arkansans and Missourians doing likewise.
While Read Admiral Cary T. Mon of the Red Cross launched 300,000 drive for flood sufferers, while Harry Hopkins put WPA workers on rescue relief work, while President Velt mobilized army, navy, guard, CCC, and announced he was "taking personal" of the government's resources, army engineers said expected the Mississippi to be the 53-foot level at Memphis, in the epochal 1927 it had set a new high at 15.6 feet.
Memphis was unworried. In last eight years army brains congressional generosity have led the Mississippi with a control system whose limits supposedly never he appened. Declaring it "stupid" old levees on the Mississippi floods which did their first age on the Ohio, Indiana's sentative Glen Griswold, cratic member of the house control committee, last week added: "It seems to me that assessmen from the South have less interested in Mississippi control as a problem than rising flood control funds spent their own section. I argued six years for flood control on upper streams that feed the and drain into the Mississippi before we finally got it into which passed last session."
Lewis, overlord of the Committee for Industrial Organization.
Next day, however, John L. Lewis aborted the conference with a press statement achieving a new high for boldness:
"We have advised the administration . . . that for six months the economic royalists represented by General Motors, the Du Ponts, Sloan and other contributed their money and used their energy to drive the President of the United States out of Washington and this administration out of power.
"The administration asked labor to help it repel this attack, and labor helped the President to repel the economic royalists. The same economic royalists now have their fangs in labor, and labor expects the administration to support the auto workers in every legal way in their fight.
"Labor is on the march in this country toward those better things and better days so eloquently described from time to time by the President of the United States."
Declaring it "futile" to continue in the face of this statement, GM's Sloan and Knudsen promptly abandoned the conference, while even the liberal press expressed disapproval of Lewis' blatant blundering statement and his assumption of the right to speak for all labor. (C. I. O., 1,400,000 members; A. F. of L., 2,000,000).
President Roosevelt gave bold Leader Lewis his answer by saying: ". . . I think in the interest of peace, there come moments when statements, conversation and headlines are not in order."
Meanwhile, as strike Leader Homer Martin proclaimed that his UAW union had enrolled 75% of the workers in General Motors plants, GM retorted that 110,000 of its 135,000 production employ-
After five years' effort to synthesize a harmless, efficient local anesthetic, Columbia University Research Physiologist Dr. Raymond Lester Osborne last week reported success in "Science," announced "Epicaine," a new composition which does all that cocaine or procaine plus epinephrine does. Chemically is alpha (3, 4-dihydroxy - phenyl) beta (para - aminobenzoylbetadiylaminoethanol) alphaethanonehydrochloride. This strange substance's efficacy Dr. Osborne proved on the "frog's sciatic plexus . . . the cat's blood pressure, the uteri of the guinea pig and cat, the gut of the cat, rabbit and monkey, the excised frog's eye and the pupil in the intact cat."
BORIS KNOWS HOW—SOFIA, Bulgaria — Elected president of the Bulgarian Chauffeurs' association three years ago, in recognition of his many roadside repairs, Tsar Boris III was last week elected "an honorary locomotive engineer" by the Yugoslav Railwaymen's union, because "he really knows how to drive a locomotive."
PRE-SEASONAL EGGS—NEW YORK—Most important natural factor in determining the price of eggs is the laying behavior of the hen, more productive in spring and summer than in autumn and winter. Because a hen can recognize winter or spring only by the way she feels, unseasonable weather may disturb this rhythm. To hens in the East, the mild muddy winter of 1936-37 has seemed enough like spring to stimulate prodigious pre-seasonal laying. Hence, a few weeks ago, farmers found themselves with no more fresh eggs than they

Meanwhile, as strike Leader Homer Martin proclaimed that his UAW union had enrolled 75% of the workers in General Motors plants, GM retorted that 110,000 of its 135,000 production employees had signed petitions or otherwise protested against being thrown out of work by the upstart union's strike.
EPICAINE—NEW YORK—Ever since Austrian Dr. Carl Koller discovered in 1884 that cocaine deadens sensation long enough to be used as a local anesthetic for minor operations, doctors have worried because cocaine may start a bad narcotic habit, may cause a dangerous shock to the system. But procaine (usually called novacaine), best substitute for cocaine since 1905, also lacks perfection, causes capillaries to expand, thus fostering excessive bleeding, or quickly diffuses into the blood stream and loses its local anesthetic effect.
To overcome the bad features of cocaine and procaine, anesthetists use them in conjunction with epinephrine (also called adrenalin) which makes capillaries contract and holds the anesthetic at the spot where it is needed. But procinephrine throws some people into twitches, may not be used intravenously or intraspinally.
NEW AIR RECORD—NEWARK, New Jersey—Zooming from Burbank, Calif., at 2:14 a.m. one day last week, dark, lanky, impetuous Flyer Howard Hughes aimed his plane's streamlined nose at New York, 7 hours, 23 minutes, 25 seconds later he lunged into a long power dive into Newark airport, thus completed the world's greatest long-distance speed flight, set a new transcontinental record.

Hunting Rules In Mexico Told
To prevent delays for Americans hunting expeditions to Mexico, the biological survey, United States Department of Agriculture calls attention to recent Mexican hunting regulations requiring permits from proper authorities.
For the issuance of permits, Mexico has been divided into three zones. Hunters in that part of northern Mexico from and including the state of Chihuahua and west should make application for permits to Oficina Forestal y de Caza y Pezca, Chihuahua, Chihuahua.
For hunting permits in northern Mexico east of Chihuahua, applications should be made to the office of the same name in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Applications for the central and southern district should be addressed to this office in Mexico City.
American hunters in Mexico also must be prepared to deposit an individual bond of 500 pesos, although exceptions are made in the case of members of two Mexican clubs. These are Club Deportivo de Norte, Chihuahua, Chihuahua; and Club Sierra Madre, Chihuahua.
The survey calls further attention to the advisability of visiting the nearest Mexican consulate and gasoline Usage in State Sets Record
California motorists used more gasoline in 1936 than ever before in the history of the state.
Increased use of motor vehicle transportation at an unprecedented rate shot December sales of gasoline up 20.02 per cent to bring the annual total income from the 3-cent tax to a new record of $48,286,080.92, it was announced by Fred E. Stewart, member of the state board of equalization which assesses the tax.
Beer and Wine Tax Income Shows Gain
Popularity of beer and wine continued to increase throughout 1936, particularly the products of California's own breweries and vineyards.
Richard E. Collins, chairman of the state board of equalization, announced that collections from the tax on beer and wine amount to $2,018,934.23 for the year, an increase of 18.81 per cent over the previous 12-month period.
