days to pedestrians in the national cap
ital as he was a fortnight ago and con-
sequently a fresh series of rumors has
begun to go the rounds. The automobile
rides which had become a daily occur
renee have been discontinued. This prob
ably started gossip anew but the story
that Mr.. Wilson has suffered relapse
is given more credence in Washington than
perhaps is justified because the White
House policy of authorizing vague and
fragmentary descriptions of the Pres
ident's health coupled with an occasional
statement from some attending physician
completely confirming rumors that were
previously current has bred many skep-
ties.
The discontinuance of the automobile
rides of the President is explained III
contradictory ways. One story emanat-
ing from the White House is to the effect
that the President has lately been too
busy with public affairs to get his accus-

Another story also given with a tinge

that the President was under too great
u nervous tension while motoring. People
in the streets stared eat him curiously
wondering if all the gossip they had hearc
about his health were true. Jnquestion

The slow recovery of the President is
diseouraging to his many friends who had
hoped the spring months would see him
going about with his accustomed vigor.
His detachment from official Washington
is much more pronounced than anyone
dreamed would be the case Not only has

been waiting for months to gain an au-

found among farm buildings. In re-

For good barns make for contented
cows, and contented cows generally
lead the field in production.
There are several essential features
in the construction Of dairy barn

and the barn shown here contains
many of those features. In the first
place it should be firmly built and pro-
