TAKES BREATHING SPELL AFTER BIG WEEK NEW YORK—WaII Street Satur day took a breatiVng spell after the most active week’s trading in stock exchange history. Football kept scores of traders away from the financial ~ district with the result that the day’s sales aggregated slightly less than 750,- OCO shares, or about one-half of last holiday session. While approx imately thirty issues soared to new peak prices for the year, during the brief session, the unusually heavy volume of week-end profit taking sales brought about a slight reces sion in the general price movement When the closing gong sounded this noon, the week's total stocks already had passed the 12,000,000 mark, a daily average of more than two million shares. The high water mark was set Tuesday when the total sales were 2,665,000 shares. This has been ex ceeded only four times.

Mr. White was in Augusta last spring gathering data on the childhood of Woodrow Wilson spent here and in the story ap pearing in "Liberty” Mr. White makes references to this city in his relation of incidents in the life of America's great war-time pres ident. After tracing the family of Wil son from a mixture of Irish and Scotch ancestry to America, tho author says: “In 1858, when baby Thomas Woodrow was two years old, the Wlhon family moved to Augusta. Georgia, where the Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson had a call to preach In the First Presby terian Church.” , oAYS "TOMMY” WAS A FRAIL CHILD. With reference to Augusta ,he con tinues: " 'Tommy' was a frail child, and was not sent to school or even taught his letters at home until he was nine. More than that, he was put into spectacles, which limited his gang life, which teaches boys so many vital things that men must know. “Doctor Wilson spent his life pas sion on the boy. It was a bookish home in which this great love was founded between the father and son. There was much reading aloud of good literature. "None nf his boy friends remember Tommy Wilson in a fight. He never gave a boy a licking, and alas! for the history of mankind after 1919, he never had to take one and giggle out of it to the boy world around him, an experience that makes men gently tolerant as well as brave and wise. If only there could have been in his life some shanty Irish critic with a pen chant for assault and battery, some low-minded friend to fasten upon him the nickname, ’four-eyes.’ calling brutal attention to his spectacle?, what a world we should have to day!” SAW RESULTS OF SHERMAN'S MARCH. According to Mr. White’s story, Wilson moved from here to Columbia. South Carolina, in 1870, where he saw Ihe results of Sherman's raid on the Carolina capital city. "Columbia knew more of the war than Augusta,” the writer goes on, “Sherman going to the sea, had. curi ously, let Augusta go unburned. But when Tommy Wilson went to Colum bia he saw a mile of business district, three blocks wide, standing In black ruins, the work of Sherman’s men. I Naturally, hearts were bitter there, and the ruin of the town's business section was but a detail of the dam age that the war had done.” Mr. White then proceeds to trace the movements and progress of the embryo chief executive of the United States, through his years at college, Ills practice of law In Atlanta, his marriage to Ellen Axson, of Rome. Georgia, his time as president of Princeton University, his election as governor nf New Jersey and finally, his elevation to what Mr. White Is pleased to term “the king row”—the presidency nf his country. There the first part of the biogra phy ends, tie thread of which is to he taken up In the second and final part. During his researches Into the life nf Wilson, Mr. White visited the old haunts of the man, visiting Augusta last spring and spending a day or two here, talking to people who were personalia- acquainted with little “Tommy” Wilson at. the time his father preached at the First Presby terian church and gathering such data here and there as he could find. ORGANIZED PROTEST Against Public Inspection of Tax Returns NEW YORK—An organized pro test against public inspection of in come tax returns was launched Fat. urday by the committee on national affairs of the Union League Club of Brooklyn.
