Despite the fact that President
Harding has all these exclusive golf
links to choose from, he seems TO
prefer to play down on the publ,

is for convenience sake and partly

there is sunshine--on either hauJ.
Frequently the President slips of for

occasionally he gets out on the links in
the early morning, returning to the
White House for an s o'clock break
