SUMMER CAPITAL
WILL MOVE FAMILY TO WOODS
HOLE, MASS, ABOUT THE MID.
DIE OF JUNE.


Washington, Mar 30-President
Wilson will spend the Summer at
Woods Hole, Mass. where the sum-
mer White House will be established
on the estate of Charles r. Crane, the
Chicago business man recently ap-
pointed minister to China.
Arrangements already are beng
made for moving the President and
his family and a good part of the ex-
ecutige Office there for at least the
last two weeks Of June and all CT July

extensive country place which over
looks Buzzards Bay and Vineyard
Sound and Is close by Martha's Vine
yard, an island which figures i'll co
lonial history. President Taft and
his family spent their summers at
Beverly Mass, not so very far away.
The decision to take the President
away for the summer is interpreted at
the White House as further evidence
of continued improvement in health
which Dr. Grayson. his personal ply
sician, has been reporting. Up to
few weeks ago it had in fact been
practically decided not to take the
President away for the summer, be-
cause it was felt that he could be
better cared for at the White House
The Plan to spend the summer on the
New England coast, DR.. Grayson said
meant that the President could CON
tinue the program of motor riding,
possibly some short yachting trips,
probably in the Mayhower, and might
even get in a few holes of golf, if his
improvement continues.
