WILSON r TAKES AN, AIRING,

sThe president, accompanied by Mrs.
wilson and Dr.. Grayscn, took a SPIN
IN certain sections of Washington
Yesterday. This was the first time
the: President has; shown himself to
fthepublic during the past FIVE months.
. Great secrecy was maintained in pre-
= paa ring for The trip, and few persons
recognized the Executive as his car
whisked past them.
Mr.. Wilson enjoys an automobile
and since his occupancy of the White
House trips to Alexandria and lower
Fairfax county have been especially
pleasant to him. On Sundays the APP
p,e.aarance off, the President in our
streets was common during the past
few years: He generally entered and
left the city via Rosemont. Now
that he is gradually regaining his
normal health, his temperance in
our city may be looked for at any
time. -
Yesterday he was bundled up in an
old gray sweater and an cvercoat.
He rode for an hour in a closed linz
CUISINE and returned to the Write
House considerably refreshed.
No unusual incident. occurred dur
ing the trip except That as he drove
through the Capitol grounds the
President waved his hand to Senator
BoraR, and the latter returned the
salutatton.
Is Near Center Market the President,
saw a sign on a butcher shop quoting
pork at So cents a pound.
~That brings the cost of living
home to you," Mr.. Wilson observed.

,ANTIPATHY TO JURIEs

Two Of the most serious duties Q.
the citizen are the obligations to beal
arms. and to do jury duty. This is o.
ten apparent in Alexandria. Most me-
are willing to fight for their country
but mighty few are willing to serv.
on a jury. An illustration of this tru;l
occurred in New York rhe other da,
IN Judge Resalssy's court, when CT
of 100 jurors summoned, only Al an.

should not serve. Obviously. if tn
wheels of the law were to be ken
grinding, it was necessary to tax.
drastic action. The first move of II
Judge was to send out summons to
the SO absentees requiring them T.

fined and held in contempt of court,
The hext thing was to imptess unor

business or ordinary reasons were rct

lit was in handling this phase of II
dilemma that Judge Rosalsky proved
himself to be an excellent student C.
human nature. All but two of IN
jurors who had responded to their
names5insisted that it was impossible
for them to serve. 1t sounded, like ii:
old /. Biblical story. One had purchss,
ed a farm ard it needed his immc-
date attention, another had married
aiwife, and-suddenly jumping to tha
modern another had entered Ia
automobile business. The Judge smiled
grizzly. and said that it. was ab2o
lutely essential that jurymen qual;f.
