DOVE RELEASED
BY PRESIDENT
Little Brown Haired School Girl Had
Nursed the Bird Back to
Health.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Jan. g.
Pres. Woodrow Wilson stood on the
veranda of his cottage at sunset
Thursday night and acting on the re-
quest of a little brown haired scnoOl
girl. released a white dove whose
broken wing she had nursed back to
strength. The bird fluttered for a
moment, then paused on a heavy
limbed oak, as if preparing for a long
fight, and soon was lost in the even
ing shadows.
The incident was a sequel to the
presidents motor ride Thursday
through GulfpOrt. School children
lined both sides of the main street
singing America" and people came
flOcking from stores and shops as the
presidents car slowed down. A child
Of twelve handed the nations chief
executive a box and a letter which
she asked him not to open until he
reached home.
The president asked Rep. Harrison.
who was riding with him. TO find out
the girls name. as he wanted 70 write
that he had complied with her wish.
After d;ligent inquiry the congress
man learned the donor OF the dove
was Miss villa Green. She had mod
estly signed her initials. because. as
she afterwards said. she did not want
anybody TO know anything about 1t. 3"
