When the White House advance agents
went over the ground. it is said, they
concluded that the Crane estate itself
was not large enough. and that the &C
commoda tons to be found in the village
were insufficient for the force from the
executive Offices which would have to
be moved to Woods Hole for the sum-
mer.

sion is close to railway track: that
there are several automatic fog signals

and that the layout of the Crane
grounds in relation to the public streets
and sidewalks of Woods Hole raised
what the secret service men termed
practical obstacles to their regular plans
for guarding the President.
When these considerations were laid
before the President it was said today
he reluctantly abandoned his plan to
go TO Woods Hole and was regretful
that Mr.. Cranes offer had been accept

Birds in Poetry" Music was fur
nished by the High school orchestra
the members of which acquitted
themselves with their usual credit.
Mr.. Wilson called attention to the
prevalence of bird illusions in poetry
and whole poems which have been
written about the feathered song
sters. The main purpose of the lee
ture was to help those who are, in
terested in birds to take deeper ap-
probation in bird poetry and to also
help those who know little about
birds to know more of them through
the poems. The members of the bird
club of the city were guests of the
teachers club for the evening.
Mr.. Wilson gave many whistling
imita tons of various. birds among
these being the wood peewee, the
robin, the bluebird. the oriole, the
song sparrow. the chickadee, the red
eyed vireo and many others; Among
the poems he referred to and some
of which he read were. When Tulips
Bloom" 1.-The Anglers Reveille." and
THE Song Sparrow" by Van Dyke.
