The Society islands, far away in

radio station having been opened by
the French government on the Island
of Tahiti last winter. Communication
with the United States will be via
Samoa and New Zealand and thence
by cable to San Francisco. 1t is X
pected that the cost of messages to
the United States will exceed one dol

reduce this more than half by send

it is the only surviving representative

The presidents golf game is characterized by steadiness and care. He
plays what is known a a "short game" taking two shots to cover a dis
lance another player might attempt in one. The presidents long suit is
putting. He is steady and accurate.
President Wilson's definition of golf may be new to some people. He
says: "Golf is an Intellectual attempt to put a elusive ball into an obscure
hole with uncomfortable instruments"
Most of the presidents golfng is done at the Washington Country club,
the river in Virginia. This is a small club made up mostly of govern
ment officials, people from the Smithsonian institution and the scientific
bureaus. There are 10 social features; it is exclusively golf.
Players at the club have learned to treat the president as he likes to be
treated-as merely another member of the club. He Is shown n special
consideration Or courteses. He is always trailed by the secret service men.
The president always takes the caddies a IS they come and pays the
