PRESIDENT TAFT VIEWS
COLUMBIA COUNTRY CLUB
Club Grounds, and Spends Fifteen Minutes of
Critical Examination of Golf Course

Columbia Couptry Club was not at
home yesterday afternoon and is sorry
for it. The members say It never fails
that when one goes out some one that
one would like very much to see always
calls. and, sure enough, 1t happened yes
terday.
When the members came back and saw
the cards Of President Taft and Maj.
Archibald Butt on the hall table. and
Olef told all about the good time they
all had while the family was out, 1t took
considerable force to prevent one Of the
members from draping the charter in

they were fit to listen how the White

TWENTY POLICEMEN MADE
ILL BY WINTER UNIFORMS
Relief Expected To-day Because the Major Will Allow
Members of the Force to Wear Their
Sunni e Outfits

Twenty Of Washington's policemen are
on the sick list, and it is rumored the
reason for most of the sickness is the
sweltering weather Of the last few days.
during which time the policemen have
been forced to patrol the streets in eight
hour stretches in their winter uniforms.
The summer uniforms. consisting OF
helmets and coats. were issued to the
members Of the force yesterday after
noon. This. however. did not relieve the
suffering during the hottest part Of yes
terday as the uniforms were not dis
tributed until O'Clock.

Archie got out. came right up on the
porch, and took the greatest interest In
the beautiful home Of the club.
Then the President went all over the
golf links-the President likes golf links.
for he told Olef so-and he likes the
links the Columbia Country Club. and 1t
was all he could do to keep from putting
them to a very practical test.
However, the President and the major
hung around for fifteen minutes and saw
gil that there was to be seen. and then
told Olef how sorry they were that the
family wasn't at home. ..
But the sorrow that President Taft ex-
pressed at not finding the Columbia
Country Club at home when he called
wasn't a circumstance. Olef says, to the
downright grief that the members Of the
club showed when they heard OF what
they had all missed.
