January 5, 1921. The times in a mirror.

The Senate Committee on the Election, January 5, 1921

The Senate Committee on the Election met on this day in 1921.  

If they could see the Senate now, I wonder what they'd think?  It wouldn't be kind, I'm sure.



 Workers maintaining White House tennis courts, January 5, 1921.

Workmen were out in D.C. maintaining the tennis courts.  At that time, the utility vehicle remained horse drawn.

Vehicles were very much making their inroads, of course.

Times Square, 1921.

New York City imposed traffic regulations that included one way traffic for a portion of the day around Times Square.  It was revolutionary at the time.

In Washington D. C. the fire chief's vehicle collided with another, resulting in serious injuries to the chief.




Headlines in the paper warned that the Soviet Union was menacing Europe and a new general European war looked almost certain to break out.
