REACHES THOUSAND
MEMBERSHIP MARK
Commercial Club Receives 202
Applications in One Weeks
Time.

With the habit Of doing what it starts
out to do, which has become a charac-
teristic of the organization, the CONNER
cial club yesterday reached the 1000
membership mark, just seventeen days
ahead of the scheduled time. and threw in
tWenty-seven members as good measure.
The total number of new applicants last
night was DO OF course they aren't
quite members yet, rather applicants but
they VIII all be members Saturday, when
the board of governors puts the official
sanction to each application blank
4 week ago today the Commercial club
had a membership of S25. Secretary Joseph
b. Game had an idea-a communicative
one, tOO-thaJ the membership should be
at least l0ut, and the membership was
put to work under orders from the board
Of governors and with the instructions TO
get the 10 members by January /. The
membership committee subdivided itself
into SIX committees, and then lOafed for
a day or two. About the third day how
ever. Secretary Game was given a sur
priSe-his bulletin board wasn't large
enough. He didn't have. or perhaps more
properly, wasn't given time enough to get
a new one, and the walls Of the corridor
had TO be utilized for the posting of ap-
plcatlOns for membership. Yesterday
morning when Mr.. Caine sat down TO his
desk there were just an even fifteen ap-
pHcatiOns needed to bring the member
snip up To- 1000. Before noon the num-
Der was reached, and at night twenty
seven more applications had been re-
ceived.
Now the prospect of limiting the club
membership to an even 1090 is gone. as
every application received up to Satur-
day, when the board meets. will receive
consideration. At its meeting however
the board. after passing upon the appIi-
cations, will have to decide on the qUes-
ton whether the club membership will be
limited or the admission fee doubled
There is a sentiment favOring the latter
but the general opinion among the club
members seems to incline towards the
limitation of the membership.

Shrine should Remain Under Present
 Control, Says Indiana Journal. Indianapolis Star
 Some patriotic societies in Virginia have conceived the idea that 1t Is un- worthy of the nation that a fee shall oe charged for admission to that patri- otic shrine, Mount Vernon. the home of Washington, and are organiing a movement to secure an appropriation from the national government that will be sufficient to maintain the place without cost to the pilgrims who visit 1t. This, of course. means that it would sooner or later have to be national
 Mount Vernon now is owned and managed by an association of women who, from patriotic motives, many years ago obtained possession of several hun dred acres of the estate, including those on which are the buildings and old gar den, and gradually put the place In or der and refurnished the mansion. The expenses are considerable. because it is necessary to employ many workmen to keep the grounds and buildings in shape and many guards to prevent the ravages of relic hunters. The work is well done, as visitors know, for the place is always in beautiful order. The admission fee Is but 25 cents, and cer- tainly no reasonable person could com plain of this. It does not appear, in fact, that any one has complained, but only that 1t seems better to these Vir- ginians that the shrine should be free to the public.
 It seems a mistaken idea. The asso- citation of women labored hard to se- cure the present conditions, and the government could make no improve ment on them. On the contrary, if the place were left to perfunctory official supervision. with free admission to ev- cry one. the probability Is that 1t would | soon lose much of it's present beauty and charm through carelessness and neglect.

 First. The average American life time is shorter than that of other foremost nations. and could be length ened by fully third. Half of this im- provement could be effected simply through purer air. purer water and purer milk.
 Second. The possible gains in re- ducing mortality among infants and young children would be even greater
 Third. The money saved to the na- tion as result of decreasing mortal ity and sickness could be more than $1,500. .000,00
 Fourth The remedies include a competent national department of health
