day he motored to Hanover for one more

has done him good, according to his
physician, DR.. Grayson, who says also
that the climb over the hilly golf course
has strengthened the Presidents lungs.
Over Mountain In Auto.
President Wilson, in his automobile,
took an unfrequented road yesterday and
his big car picked its way slowly and
cautiously over a mountain ridge. The
machine mounted the hills with little
difficulty, but frequently in the descents
brakes were thrown on tight The trip
was made without mishap and the view
of the surrounding hills amply repaid the
President for the humping he got, as
both he and Mrs. Wilson saw the Green
mountains from unusual vantage points.
Incident Greatly Exaggerated.
On one occasion the Presidents ma
chine came to a natural stop and moved
off the road entirely into a front yard.
Half of the road had just been covered
with OIL and the other half was blocked
by a big team. In order to avoid getting
out Of the machine, the President sug-
gested that his car drive over a little
knoll into front yard near a farmhouse
until the team had passed. 1t was this
incident which led to a widespread re-
port that the President had plunged over
an embankment, narrowly escaping in
iury.
