Pass Christian. Miss, Dec. 26.-
President Wilson today mapped out a
program of recreations for his visit
here. He will sleep at least nine hours
each night. the quota he had hoped to
get but often has missed. After break

game Of golf with his physician. DR..
Carey T. Grayson. U. s. N. At noon
he will dispose Of whatever important
letters or kilograms may reach him
from the White House and after lunch
con will take an automobile ride with
his family.
While the president will do little Of
fetal work there are at present two
things uppermost in his mind-the Sc
lection OF members of the federal re-
serve board. and the writing Of spe-
cial message to congress on the relA-
tion Of the government 20 ''hiE husi-
| ness" and trusts.
To Act Slowly. So
OF the choice Of members Of the
board which will put into operation the
new currency system there Is little
possibility that the president finally
will decide on any individual while he

considered It is virtually certain tha'
the president will use the Same sitting
process he used when selecting cabinet
members.
When the president returns to Wash

cabinet advisers and friends regarding
the personnel Of the board. THOSE
closely associated with the president
believe there will be no nominations
until the full period OF sixty days al

recent disaster at Calumet, Mich. HI

has received no advices from Secre'
