Send Blanket of Moss
 From BOyhOOd Home

Columbia, $. C., Feb. 5.-"Tommy" Wilson's relatives and friends today sent to Washington their tribute to the memory of Woodrow Wilson--a blanket of gray moss and magnolia leaves from a tree that once sheltered the play of local school boy who long afterwards became a world fig ure.
 The blanket, fashioned with tender care to cover that obscure boy in his last exalted sleep, was taken to the capital, scene of his triumph, and death, by Miss Katherine Woodrow of Rock Hill, a cousin, and Colonel George McMaster of Columbia. Into its weaving went many cherished memories of the time when rom my's" father, the Rev Joseph R, Will son, was professor in the Columbia Theological Seminary and preached in the First Presbyterian church, in tho grounds of which several years ago, he laid the body of his sister. Mrs. George Howe, beside those Of his par ents.
New Britain herald., 1924-02-05

Under an old statute, work cannot be suspended becnuse nf the death Of a former or:cial but President Cool idge and hIs cabinet found way at todays session to make an exception to that requirement. It was decided that no executive order should be is sued by the president but that each secretary would inform those under him that nothing would be required of them after 12:30 p. m. on the funeral day.
 Denied the privilege of paying tribute in a state funeral ceremony, President Coolidge and his advisers decided that at least the federal gov ernment should give homage to its former chief by standing silent while his body is consigned to its last rest.

JAPANESE PAY
 FINE TRIBUTES
Wilson Regarded With Adnira-
 ton and Esteem
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 ToSio, Feb. 5.--The admiration and esteem with which Woodrow Wilson was regarded in Japan, is testified to in score of messages pouring into the American colony here from leading Japanese citizens and statesmen and diplomats from other nations.
 Newspapers and others publications are largely devoted to stories of his death, his obituary and tributes to him.
 The late President Wilson deserv- ed Japanese gratitude in many ways" said the Nichi Nichi. one Of the lead ing newspapers of Japan.
 His friendship for Japan was clo- qnently expressed in his efforts to mitigate the rigors of the California anti-Japanese movement and obtain recognition of Japan's Manchurian position through the 1shii-Lansing agreement. His death deprives Japan of one of it's most esteemed benefac- tors and tho world of its most power. ful peacemakcr."
New Britain herald., 1924-02-05

many sides that last moment change should be made and more
 elaborate ceremonies mark the fu-
 neral. There were many like Sena-
 tor Swanson of Virginia, who believed that this dead son of Virginia, mother of presidents. should go back to sleep i in Virginia soil forever It was this feeling that prompted the suggestion that entombment should be in the memorial amphitheater at Arlington where Americas unknown already stands guard. Some felt that the per manent resting place of Woodrow 1 Wilson, war president, and himself struck down by the war as surely as any, of the glorious dead who sleep on the hillsides beneath the unknown's resting place, should be within that stately. enclosure sacred to the mem ory of those who have died for the flag.
 The offer of sepulture in this hal lowed circle was promptly made. Per haps there is q legal barrier, since the law says that no monument or vault shall be placed within the memorial structure until him to whom honor is done shall have been decade dead. Secretary Weeks made it plain that no narrow legal construction would stand in the way of opening the last haven of patriotic Americans to the war, president, since no man could doubt that congress will approve in such case the disregarding of that restriction.
 Mrs. Wilson's Wish Regarded
 Mrs. Wilson had her way, however, and the marble vault under the great church that looks down on the house where he died, will hold her hus- bands honored casket until the form and manner of his final resting place can be determined.

The same line of thought leads to
the conclusion that Joe, the tourna-
ment player. has decided to play
straight golf in tournament and let
Kirkwood. the exhibition trick shot
artist, go ny the boards for a while.
kfrkwood makes plenty Of money
exhibiting his tricks. but the big
money comes from q reputation as q
tournament winner. Joe knows 1t,
and he also knows that he has every
thing any other golfer in the world
has. Until Corpus Christi he never
got 1T out In full measure. Now he
may have 1t in such shape that he
will win.
AS long and straight from the tee
as any man, accurate as a sharp
shooter with the irons and a master
with the chip or the pitch and run.
Kirkwood should go far if he doesn't
let his imagination run away with
him.
Golf Is. after all. n mechanical
game. notwithstanding all this talk
about the mental side. The better d
man becomes mecha anically the better
Fgolfer he IS. Given L specific shot, If
his muscles are trained to make the
shot correctly 1t will come off.
Joe'< Trouble Mental.
Kirkwood's muscles are trained,
! but when he seems likely to win
there comes into his brain that biting
devil of failure. Joe gets thinking
about his game. and from that mo-
meat he is lost.
We belieye if kirkwood would do
nothing but play straight golf and
forbid any one to tell him of the
score, not thinking about ii himself,
he would be at orr near the top of
every tournament he enters. The
plodGing, mechanical golfer with a
erooved swing is the championship
type.
The Jones, Hagens, Barnes, Cruick-
shanks ct al. may find Tartar on
their hands this summer if Kirk
woods victory at Corpus Christi
means anything.
