| WOODROW WILSON LIVES ROUTINE LIFE Ex-President Enjoying Better Health on Second Anniver- " sary of His lliness. It has been two years to the day since Woodrow Wilson, then President, re- turning from a speaking tour made in the interest of the league of nations, was pronounced a ‘very sick man.” The American public has been made well acquainted with what took blace since that time, and March 4 last. when he left the White House. But his life as a private citizen, how he spends his days at the S street home, has received little publicity. Mr. Wilson has put into his retired life the same system which character- ized his_daily routine at the White House. He is an advocate of the eight- hour day, and the twenty-four hours are divided into three equal periods for work, sleep and recreation. Able to Shave Himself. He rises at 7 o'clock in the morning and his health now permits him to bathe and shave himself. After cales- thenic exercises, he breakfasts in Mrs. Wilson's boudoir and reads carefully seven or eight morning papers delivered at his door. Then he begins the morn- ing’s work, whicl consists partly in opening and answering a large assort- ment of mail of varying content. Let- ters come from old friends wishing him well an& inquiring after his healtn; others from political friends who talk jof the shortcomings of the present ad- ministration; others who suffer what they .think is similar to Mr. Wilson's iliness, and from others who, feeling the pinch of want, ask for financial as- sistance, The ‘answers are either dic- tated Mr. Wilson to a stenographer and signed by him or else furned over to a secretary. ‘Wife Constant Companion. -Mr. Wilson's constant companion and helpmate is his wife. After the morning mall, with which she assists him, the two lunch together in_the dining room. Follows a nap of an hour or so, and Mr. Wilson is ready for his daily drive in the “used car” he bought from the dealer who sup- plies the White House with the official automobiles. Washingtonians have become accustomed to the sight of Mr. Wilson, with his wife, on these daily rides. They usually take him along the same route. He prefers the old paths to seeking out new ones, H E and along the roads are many friends who look for his appearance daily. i Dinner is an informal affair at the ‘Wilson house. Sometimes there are guests, always old friends or -asso- clates. Mr. Wilson has left off the custom followed when President, that of dressing for dinner. But he still follows the custom taught him from childhood—-and which he has never left oft—saying grace before the meal proceeds. His table bears witness to his friends. Game, fish, vegetables, all of them the prime of their species, are sent him by many from all parts of the country. Sees Movie Once a Week. GENUINE 6 .

Before saying good night he takes the Bible, which rests on a little stand by his bed. and reads a few verses. It is his invariable cus- . tom. Mr. Wilson is now nearly sixty-five years old. He welghts, around nor- mal, 180 pounds. His hair is snow white, but not thinned. His eyesight is unimpaired. His appetite is robust. He is able, without assistance, to climb a few steps and to get into his automobile—something he was un- able to accomplish last March.

INDIANAPOLIS, September 27.—By an overwhelming vote further debate on the Kansas strike cases that have been before the convention of the Uited Mine Workers- of America for four days. was shut off soon after the convention opened today. Supporters of Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas_district, then won a roll call vote. It was expeeted most of the day would be necessary for the roll call. . The convention rules declare that 300 delegates must support a demand for a roll call vote. This number was easily obtained following the mo- tion of Joseph Lynall, delegate from Peoria, Iil, that a roll call be taken on the proposition of supporting the administration of President John L. Lewis and the international execu- tive board, which contend that strikes ordered by Howat in the Kansas flelds were illegal. Howat contends that the strikes were called when the oper- ators failed to observe terms of the contracts with the unions.” President Lewis and the international execu- tive board have ordered that the strikers return to work. WOULD RESTRAIN MINERS. Petition Asks Injunction Against & Interfering. S By the Aswociated Press. HUNTINGTON, W. Va. September. An_injunction restraining the United Mine Workers from interfering with operations in the Williamson and Thacker fields and forcing abolition of the “check off”” system is asked in a petition filed In the federal court here by the Borderland Coal Corpora- tion. The petition’is identical to that filed last Friday by the same corpora- tion in the federai court at Indianap- olis. The action was taken on behalf of sixty-two other mine operators and compenies, it was stated. DAY NURSERY WILL HOLD 1921 TAG DAY SATURDAY Association Hopes to Get Enough Funds to Aid Working Mothers Another Year. “Have a Heart!” The above slogan, familiar to Washingtonians, will ‘appear on the streets again Saturday, when the Day Nursery and-Dispensary Asso- ciation will hold its annual Tag day. Mrs. C. L. Henry, one of the trus- tees, will direct the voluntary work- ers selling tags on that day. Head- quarters are to be established at the Ebbitt Hotel. 2 Contributions received by the tag- gers will, it is hoped, be sufficient to carry on for another year the work being done at the day nursery, 472 I street southwest. The object of the association, which is non-sectarian in character ind en- tirely dependent upon public contri butions and the dues of its members, is to maintain a nursery and dis- pensary where, children under eight years of age may be cared for while their mothers, are at work. The day nursery was established in 1908 and owes its existence to the charitable- riess of the citizens qf the District. The association’s Tag Gay appeal has the indorsement of the Merchants and Manufacturers’-Association. Flowers for Fall Weddings. Consult flower headquarters—Gude, 1214 F.—Advertisement.
