CHRISTMAS VACATION
PLANS ARE UNDER WAY
Mr. Wilson Participates in Planting

today, his first departure from the White
House III more than g week. Accom-
panied by Miss Margaret Wilson and DIR.
Grayson he went for ride in the White
House limousine, which was closed TO
prevent too much draft. He was gone
about an hour and appeared to enjoy
the trip. From now on he will spend
more time each day outdoors He did not
go to the executive offices during the
day, but saw some visitors and did much
work in his study in the main building.
It is doubtful II Secretary Tumulty will
consent to the President seeing a large
number Of visitors unttl after his Christ
mas vacation.
1t is nov understood that Mrs. Wilson
and her daughters are planning TO take
the President with them for q three
week vacation as soon as Congress
passes the currency hi and adjourns for
Christmas. The minute the President
appends his signature to that measure
he will feel free to leave Washington for
a long rest. He will not return with the
reassembling Of Congress, but will enjoy
4 long-delayed vacation.
1t has not been decided just where he
will go, but it is significant that the
President and Mrs. Wilson this afternoon
received Senator Hoke Smith and the
Georgia delegation. who wished to eX-
tend an invitation for the family to
spend their holidays in that state.

Postmaster General Burlesons decIa-
ration for the principle of government

as outlined in his annual report just

by a democratic caucus in the House in

project is to be made an administration
policy in Congress, it was predicted to-
day.
President Wilson has been giving the
project careful study. and, administration
supporters say, has not pressed Il upon
Congress at this time, because Of the
enormous expense involved.

Complains to Secretary Red6eld.
In a letter to Secretary Redfield. Di-
rector Harris has this To say about the
danger to the records:
THE total number Of volumes from
1880 to 1880 comprised 1922 In 1880,
when the schedules were not bound; we
had approximately 1900 bundles OF
schedules. For. 1890, we have 2S12 vol
umes. The population returns for 1910
are in fireproof vault and fill 1t COM
pletely. They have not been bound and
are constantly referred to. The census
returns from 1880 to and including 1906
are continually referred TO for genealog-
ical purposes. and the returns for 1856
and 1860 are constantly being examined
TO secure data showing the ages of pen
sioners. as they are unable to obtain
any other record evidence Of their ages
These volumes, especially, are proving
invaluable and could not, Of course. be
replaced If they were destroyed ard as
time passes by the census returns will
prove of greater value, as 1t is the only
list to which individuals can refer ir

families, often required in settling es-
tates.
'In addition to the census returns we
have many division records, the loss OF
which would cause great embarrassment
and thousands of dollars would have to
be expended to attempt to replace them
For instance, the geographer's division

was divided in 1910. These official rec

would involve great expense in the prep
