Anniversary of Date on Which Wood

pect.
Washinbton, Sept. 27 (By the As
sociated Press).-Woodrow Wilson
fell a sick man two years ago to
(ay. Since then he has passed un
der the shadow of death and out of
the White House.
Thousands of Americans of what
ever political faith recalled the an
niversary of the beginning of the
former president's illness and won
dered what he was doing. Although
he no longer figures in the daily
headlines as he used to, Mr. Wilson
still is "news."
Therefore it seems appropriate on
this occasion to tell the latest news
about him.
Mr. Wilson besides following the
ways of a retired gentleman with a
lively interest in the world's affairs,
lives by the eight hour (lay which
he once told congress was "adjudged
by the thought and experience of
recent years a thing upon which so
ciety is justified in insisting, as in
the niterest of health, efficiency and
contentment." le aims to have eight
hours for sleep, eight hours for
work and eight hours for rela xation
and keeps to the schedule pretty
fairly.
Seven o'clock in the mlorniig is
about his rising time. Ie once
again shaves anl bathes aione (n
then takes some calisthenic exer
lses , prescribed by his physicians as
beneficial in restoringw the use of

papers never are neglected whatever
else may demand attention. Half 1%
dozen of them are delivered early
and: Mr. Wilson i- s them thor
oughly.
Work of Morning
Then comes the morning's work.
About that time the mail carrier, six
days a week, delivers quite a packet
of letters. They come from a variety
of correspondents. Old friends of
the administration days write in
formal friendly notes or discourse on
the politics of the day. Schools and
colleges ask for donations; individ
unis who feel the pinch of the times
ask for sonic personal financial as
sistance. Others discourse on the
shortcomings as they see them of
the Republican party. Autograph
hunters are represented in large
number. Various gentlemen who
think their ailment is the same as
Mr. Wilson's want to know the
names of his physicians. Mrs. Wil
son invariably goes over the morn
ing's mail with her husband, some
letters are turned over to a secre
tary for reply, most of them the
former president answers personally,
dictatinjg to a stenographer who
comes from his law olice every
morning for the purpose. All of them
he signs himself.
The morning's work is done in the
library. The old desk and chair and
table Mr. Wilson used in his study
at Princeton are there. Thousands
of volumes which were packed away
while he was ' the White House are
there. Throut, . the windows may
be seen the indigo blue strip of Vir
ginia hills where he used to go golf
ing, and not far away hangs a bag
of golf sticks, a reminder of a bet
ter day.
P'rincetoni Colors Used
The former president and his in
separable companion always have
their lunches served in the dining
room. Then comes a nap of an hour
and then, unless the weather is most
inclement, motor drive; Mr. Wilson
while in the White House became at
tached to a certain automobile. It
went back, as is the custoi each
whom Mr. Wilson bought it as a
"used car." He had it painted black,
with orange trimmings-Princeton
colors-and in his car which lie re
gards as an old friend, lie goes driv
ing into the countryside. He dislikes
exploring new routes but rather en
joys drivimg over the same ground
at about the same time. Many folks
in the country look for him; one
quaint old lady recently held up the
ear and presentedi a sweater which
she had knitted; a little girl gave
him a knitted lap robe. Prequently
the car stops at a farm and - takes
on a load of fresh vegetables, eggs
and fowls. The party is always
home before dark.
Dinner is an informal affair; some
timlnes there are guests, always old
friends or associates. Mrs. Wilson
no longer dresses for the occasion
as she always did while Mr.
Wilson was president; it is en
famille. But, no meal in the
Wilson household ever proceeds un
til grace is said. Mr. Wilson has al
ways said it himself, and months ago
when he wis so weak he could hard
ly stand without aid, and his voice
was almost inaudible lie steadied
hi imself on his chair and whispered
the plea for divine blessing.
Friends remember him ever at
meals. Frequently a Potomac river
fisherm n sends a rare specimen
frc n.s catch. Once, another friend
sent hin dulcks out of season and
paid the game warden a handsome
penalty.
Reading or Amusement
After dinner he goes in for read
ing or amusement. Once a week Mr.
Wilson has a motion picture show
of his own anud frequently sees the
feature film at the samnie time it is
heing shown at the theaters down
town. Occ'as;ionally ie goes to a

vaudeville show, his party taking
seats in the last row, and entering
and leaving with every effort to
avoid ostentation. It rarely hqppens,
however, that somebody fails to dis
dover the visitors and a demonstra
tions of handclapping always en
sues.
Evenings at home, however, are
spent in the famil ycircles. The for
mer president and Mrs. Wilson read
a book together, or perhaps Mrs.
Wilson reads aloud.
Sometimes it is one of the detec
tive stories of which Mr. Wilson was
said to be so fond. They do not now
form as a large as part of his read
ing as may have been the case years
ago.
le takes to bed early, not to sleep,
however, but to relax, to read and
write. Like Mark Twain he does
much reading and writing in bed.
Propped up by pillows, and with a
little writing board across his knees
he reads and makes notes, some of
them voluminous and in shorthand.
Nobody knows what .they are about.
le puts them carefully away. ' They
are not notes for a book, which many
expect.
Not to Write Book
Unless Mr. Wilson changes his
mind decidedly he will write no re
ply to Robert LAnsing or any one
else who has criticised his policies.
A writer wvho has been given access
to Mr. Wilson's paper, of which there
is most a ton, is writing a book, but
it will be his own; not Mr. Wilson's.
"I'll give you any material I have
foi your book." Mr. Wilson told him.
"I'll answer any questions you ask;
but it's your book. I don't even want
to see what you write.
However the evening may be spent,
however tired he may be, there is
one thing the former president never
neglects. It is the reading of a few
verses of the Bible. When he says
good night he invariably reads aloud
some short passage -from the' book
which always rests on the reading
table at his bedside.
Friends and admirers ask, what is
Woodrow Wilson's real condition
now?
lie vill be 65 years of age next De-'
cember and has passed through an or
deal which few men survive. The
measure of his progress toward health
must be measured with those facts
in mind. His normal weight in health
while he was president was 180
pounds. lie showed little departure
from that figure now. His eyesight is
as good although he has discarded
his favorite noseglasses for spec
tacles. His hair has turned snow
white, but it has not thinned. His
al)petite is to robust to please his
physicians. Last March when he left
the White House with president-elect
Iharding an attendant had to place
his feet on each succeeding step from
the portico. The other (lay he sent
his attenglant away and climbed
alone, not without some effort into
his automobile, just to see if he
could do it, and seermled pleased to
find that he could.

ASKS FOR DISMISSAL
Carson City, Nev., Oct. 3.-R. P.
McArvn, counsel for Mary Pickford
Fairbanks, motion picture actress, in
her divorce proce!dings against Owen
Moore, motion picture actor, moved
in the state supreme court today for
the dismisisal of an appeal from a
judgment upholding the divorce. The
appeal was filed by States Attorney
General Leonard Taylor.
McAfren argued that the appeal
was not submitted to the court with
in the statutory time limit and that
the judgmiient is not subject to ap
Peal .
Deputy Attorney General Richards
asked the court to examine the record
in order that it might see for itself
that the - ppeal was regular it, every
way. IHe admitted, however, that a
clerical error. might have made it
appear'O that the appeal was not made
wvithin the statutoryv time limit.

USE THE ALL-DAY FIRE
TO COOK SELECTED FOODS
Fuel saved is money saved. When
a slow coal or wood fire is kept all day
to heat the kitchen, select fiods that
require long, slow cooking. Beans,
peas, roasts, and puddings. can be
baked in the oven and cereals can be
cooked in the double boiler on the top
of the stove. Broil by putting the
broiler through the door over the fire
box, rather than by taking off the lids
and cooling the fire.
