He helped to defeat Vice President Sherman and Walter J. Travis the international champion by a score of up and to play, -,
 It had been intended that the presi- dent should play with MT. Travis, and that the vice president should be pair ed with MT. Lard, but on the way out to the links 1t was decided that. as the president a self styled "bumble puppy" had a shade the best of the vice presl. dent, self announced "dud and that 1t would be too easy for the presi- dent and Travis to play together.
 It was the president who won for his scores of 7S, leaving the result of the match to the play of the president and vice president MT. sherman was decid- edly off in his game and ran up to- tai of 116 strokes for the eighteen hole course The president score was not annaunced, but 1t was well under that turned in by the vice president. In foursome they combined the score of their opponents in deciding the win ming of the holes. The afternoon was ideal for golf.
 The president in his usual golfing costume-dark gray, outing trousers. and gray cap. The links were crowded with players today, but it Is a matter of etiquette at the Chevy Chase Club that no gallery shall follow the pre- sidential foursomes"
 The four players and four caddies made up the little party which starting around at 3:45 p. m. finished the eigh- teenth hole shortly before ' o'clock.
 Allen Lard. who played with the president today. is rated as one of the best amateurs in the country He is a member of many clubs and came on from Chicago especially to play in the presidents game. Mir. Travis came from New York. Lard went to the fin- als with Travis in the recent open tournament of the Chevy Chase Club. but was badly beaten in the windup He played a stronger game today than he did in the tournament and kept pace with the champion. stroke for stroke
 The president also played an excel lent game today. His driving was particularly good The president plays a careful, methodical game. He keeps the eye on the ball with excellent judgment of direction, and drives with great force It is in the short games that his scores begin to climb. MT. Travis declared today that the president has few faults as a golfer and that with more practice he will make an excel lent player. Mir. Travis was guest ot the president at dinner at the White House tonight

The Increasing Use ofRed
 Gum As A Cabinet Wood

terial must be redried when 1t reaches the factory. Some large users of red gum repile and stock after it has been carried a while, and bulk 1t down with cross sticks every five or six layers, So as to straighten out whatever twist there may be In the boards. This practically assures the eliminn- ton of twisting and warping. It can be handled in this way to much better advantage than where an effort is made to starIghten it out by force, when cutting up the stock and pre- pairing it for use; for, when the pres- sure is applied gradually, there is no loss by reason of breakage or split ting. After having been dried and tempered in the air and then redried. 1t usually loses nearly all of its warp ing tendency. The cost of handling lumber in this manner Is not great. and the good results secured thereby more than pay for whatever outlay there may be.
 Plan of Manufacturers.
 A plan, which many furniture man. ufacturers have followed to good ad- vantage and employed where red gum. oak, mahogany, or other woods are usedt is to design the article in such a manner that the wide pieces may be reinforced, and thus prevent any warp ing or other defects showing up. h. 5ldlCcS nave been hHOWHS WneE0 FSQ gum boards eighteen inches wide have been glued together and made into thirty-six inch desk tops. The tops were firmly cleated on the bottom, held to place as well as any other wood, and gave good satisfaction. This lumber had been standing on the sticks for about year. Another man. ufacturer, who uses red gum for draw CTS and paneling. guarded against the tendency to shrink and swell by the application of couple of coats of shellac inside and out, and found that the wood behaved itself as well as any that could have been used. In this in- stance, plain sawed gum was em- ployed and plain sawed material ordi- narily gives more trouble than quarter sawed.
 The real problem for the consuming trade is to study these questions, and to devise ways to guard against the difficulties encountered. If gum shows a tendency to warp, wby not reinforce it in some way? When it is used in the manufacture of furniture. tenons should have more body. and greater precautions in the way of cleating the wide boards are required. When the work is properly performed and well seasoned red gum is used. the results should be satisfactory in every way. The beauty of this wood should appeal more strongly to the American people In the future than it has in the mast
