 Continues.

Up to few weeks ago it had been practically decided not to take the president away for the sumner be- cause it was felt that he could be better cared for at the White House:S
 The plan to spend the summer on the New England coast. Dr. Grayson said, meant that the president could continue the program of motor riding, possibly some short yacht trips. pro- bably on the Mayflower, and might even get in a few holes of golf if his improvement continuing. The trip for Washington will be made by train the Mayflower going up later.
 Last summer, like his first in of- flee. the president spent in Washing ton Others have spent at Cornich, N. H. The first summer, which was a very hot one, Mir. Wilson put the air cooling plant in the White House of. fees out of commission, and announc- ed that as inasmuch as he was asking Congress to stay in session in the cap itol throughout the hot days he would undertake it himself, and he did so.
