CLEAR SPEAKING TAUGHT
WILSON BY HIS FATHER
President Attributes His Ability to
Express His Thoughts to
Tutelage at Home.

The father of President Wilson is given
credit by his distinguished son for any
power of clear expression he may display
on the political platform or elsewhere.
AS boy Woodrow Wilson found him
self frequently checked in his form of
speech by his father because he failed to
make his meaning clear. Father Will
son would direct him to shape his thought
in his mind before giving it utterance.
The tendency to speak without proper
considerable was long a trait Of the boy,
youth and young man. 1t was conquered
only by the persistent effort of his father
through all their life together until
Woodrow Wilson left home.
Conveys Fullness Of Thought.
He learned through this constant cor
rection the correlation of idea and word,
and developed power of speaking which,
if not exactly oratory, il plain speech,
conveying the fullness of the thought in
his mind. SO that no man goes away .'as
one hungry from the table
The President does not believe that his
experience as schoolma ster and class
room lecturer has anything TO do with
this power of his. 1t may have helped
him in the practice of the talent, but
was not its source.

who has been instrumental in the estab-
lishment of bureaus of this nature in sew

"There is one great defect in the school

graduate They are not aidel in select

Tbis work is done by the vocational bu-
reau 1t sees that the right man or "oii

| Prof. Blumenthal said he believed much

to the fact that there are few industries
here and that as the result large per
centage of young men ana women OF TINS

As to Civil Service.
1.-THE civil service is an excellent place
for certain people who are fitted for that
kind of work. but entirely unsuited for
Others said Prof. Blumenthal. The
civil service kills ambition. and for that
reason the ambitious young man or wom-
an who will be successful in other lines
of endeayor should not be permitted ITO

On the motion of Secretary Eynon, the
president of the Board of Trade was au-
thorized to appoint a committee 10 con-

to aid the committee in it's fnvestlga-
lions and furnish all possible data re-

authorized to appoint delegates to rep
resent the organization at the national
conference on city planning at Chi

of Trade calling attention to the ap-
peal sent out by the Associated Cnari-
ties for funds with which to carry on
it's work.

Grass Smooth as Velvet.

The grass was smooth as velvet, and
the small hills In the grounds afforded
the best opportunities for rolling eggs.
Many of the children could not resist the
temptation to eat their eggs, and soon
many of the faces were covered with diff

rabbits and candy eggs, and they fore
gathered in small groups. irrespective of
former friendships, and "swapped' treas

of them carried lunches.

Handspring for Her.

Mrs. Wilson and her friends stayed or
the White House portico until noon, wher
she walked to where she could overlook
the entire grounds and glanced around.
There was a wave of handclapping, and
she smiled again and again, and bowed
and waved her handkerchief She then
went into the White House. She seemed
to enjoy the fun thoroughly. 1t was the
first time many Neutrality-suspicious. had had
good opportunity Of seeing her. and
many remained looking at her until she
went in.
Many of the children and their parents
carried lunches with them TO the White

romped and played all kinds of games

Mrs. Wilson. attired in a black vel

IL o'clock. AS she walked out she
waved her hand to the crowds who
had been waiting for just this thing,
and there was an outburst of hand
clapping. Soon afterward Miss Mar

Miss Eleanor Wilson came out. Miss

There was d large gathering of children
on the White House portico. Among them

Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Daniels,
and the four children of Secretary to the
President and Mrs. Joseph Tumulty. The
two daughters of Postmaster General and
Mrs. BurleSon. and several others too old
to be classed as children, completed the
party.
Most of these children stayed away
from the crowd, but Mrs. Tumulty, with
her four children, left the party and went
out to enjoy the egg rolling. They were
| soon as much engaged in the fun as any
of the other children in the grounds.

While sentiment may carry the market

Liverpool failed to meet expectations, the

some interior unhedged spot owners sold
hedges against their holdings. In such an
environment bearish enterprise prOspered
ana at the wind-up many low price peo-
pie revived their predictions of 10c for

other hand, exporters reported a much
better outlook for business in the actual,
and a distinct promise of revival of the
export business in the event the market
holds steady during the next few days.
Todays market will depend very largely
on how Liverpool interprets Thursday s

depended entirely on spot situation in the
South in conjunction with Secretary Hest

the political outlook was more favorable,
but English cOnSolS do not reflect this and
are quoted unchanged this morning. The
execution of selling orders, which had ac-
cumuated over night caused a further
loss of 10 points around the opening, but
this spell of liquidation seemed to clear
the market of the weak long interest and
il breathed more freely.
Selling pressure diminished and prices
rallied to "a for March. Certain brokers
usually acting for New York account had
strong buying orders. The education to-
wards higher prices has been so thorough
that II cents is regarded as an attractive
buying level by many and this opinion
could be actively summoned in support of
the market by any practical encourage
ment,
New York gossip is now tremendously
bearish, but professional advices were
against being too much short of the
March position, the professional long in
