CLUBHOUSE PLANS
Chevy Chase Organization
Approves Design.
ESTIMATES TO BE MADE
Work on New Building, It Is Ex-
pected, Will Be Started in
Near Future.
ESTIMATES TO BE MADE

The board of governors of the Chevy
Chase Club at a meeting last evening
adopted the recommendations of the
building committee, which submitted a
design and plan for the proposed new
clubhouse prepared by ]. II. de Sibour
architect. The building committee waf
authorized to procure estimates for the
construction of the building. and if the
figures fall within the amount designated
100000, the work of building will be
started at once
The new home of the club is to be To-
Gated q short distance to the north of
the present clubhouse, occupying the
ground now used in part for the tennis
courts. It will be a low-lying structure
stretching out along the edge OF the lawn,
overlooking the green's. The center of the
| building will be directly opposite Quincy
street.
With such a setting Of natural beauty
the architect has designed a building OF
the old country house type: very simple
in form and detail. but dignifled as a
| whole and adapted to take its place in
| such surroundings, The material used
will be the so-called river stone quar-
ried in this vicinity and used in the
walls of Pferce's mill in Rock creek
| which was built the latter part of the
| eighteenth century.
Two Stories in Height.
The central portion of the building
two stories in height, will have long
sloping roof pierced with dormer win
dows. while the wings on either side
Of similar elevation, will be crowned
with gable ends. A porch will extend
along practically the whole of the long
front, which will be about 17S feet, and
at the upper floor will be covered with
roof.
The locker room. a two-story structure.
will swing out from the northwest COR
| ner of the building, thus avoiding the un-
necessary prolonging of q front that is
already quite long, and at the same time
providing the space which the needs of
| the club require. The original building
on the place, that was once q farm
house, dating back to colonial days, Ia
| to be preserved. but the cluster of build
| ings and additions that have grown up
about It Will be removed.
The bungalow to the north also will
remain. The assembly room, a spacious
apartment, will occupy the entire first
| floor of the central portion OF the build
| ing. while above will be the dining room
AL kitchen.
The ceiling of the dining room will be
secured by raising the ceiling to the
height Of the roof, thus giving height to
balance the length and breadth. Locker
rooms for women will be In the second
story of the north wing, with the tea
| room and offices in the first story, while
the south wing on that floor will be de-
| voted to the lounging room.

Came as a Surprise.

Mrs. Masury of Massachusetts, was also
defeated by large number Of votes.
This was stated to be one OF the great
surprises of the congress. for Mrs. Ma
sury, for many years state regent Of the
old Bay state, has been considered one
of the strongest women in the congress.
She is credited with remarkably fine
work in Massachusetts, and for Continental
Memorial Hall, but she is also ranked
as one OF the active insurgents. She
was outspokenly for Mrs. Story last
year, and Massachusetts, came into
the Eighteenth Continental Congress with
a divided delegation. The same condi-
| ton exists this year, it is stated, and it
is given out that Massachusetts, was al
most equally divided on the vote for Mrs.
Masury.
Several of group of Massachusetts
delegates said last night that while they
admired Mrs. Masury, a vote for her
| meant a vote for insurgency, and that
they could not support the insurgent
candidates, and with this as basis 1t
| is declared that Mrs. Masury was defeat
ed by the votes of her friends.
When the result was laid before con-
gress Mrs. Dunning, the state regent.
withdrew Mrs. Masury's name from the
contest. though it il said Mrs. Masury
might have been elected on the second
ballot, when but one vice president was
| to be elected. 1t is stated that Mrs Mas
ury declined to run.
The administration yesterday elected
| seven of the nine vice presidents general.
Notes Of the Congress.

NO PRICE DROP HERE
Reported Decline in Food
stuffs Not Felt in Capital.
MEAT is STILL GOING UP
Local Wholesale Dealers See Little
Hope for Near Future.
GROCERIES REMAINING FIRM
Potatoes and Cabbage, However,
May Be Cheap During the
Summer, It Is Said.
MEAT is STILL GOING UP
GROCERIES REMAINING FIRM

That wholesale prices of food stuffs are
showing slight declines in New York and
other cities in the country appears in in
terviewS published in the newspapers.
Some dealers take this as an evidence
that there is TO be decline in the cost
of foodstuffs along the entire line, until
the people will forget to talk of the high
cost of living But Washington whole
sale dealers interviewed by The Star to-
day are skeptical of such results.
In the first place, the Washington deal
ers deny that there has been any per-
ceptible decline in wholesale prices here,
taking foodstuffs as whole.
They admit that there have been occa-
sional instances where the prices show
q little lower this week than they did
a week or more ago. but they add that
there are other lines of goods which have
Increased in prices. This is the view
taken by wholesale dealers in groceries,
in green vegetables and fruits, in dairy
products and in meats.
The prices of meats are way up and
going higher, it is said. This is true OF
beef. pork, mutton and lamb. The in
crease in the cheaper cuts amounts to
IS per cent in the cheapest of them. This
is said to be due largely to a nation-w wide
campaign of education in how to cook
such cuts, and to the absolute control of
prices by the packers.

Cattle Cheaper in Yards.

In the last few months the price of
cattle in the yards has decreased about
IS cents per cut, but the price of
plates No. 3 has increased from 4s4
cents to 6a4 cents pound. When the
people complained of high prices of
meat the packers pointed to the
plates at AZ cents per pound, and
said:
why don't American women learn
how to market and cook? If properly
cooked this is nutritious and delicious,
and cheap.
And when the American housewife
learned how to cook it the price went
up more than 40 per cent, 1T is said.
The fact that the decline in prices in
New York and elsewhere is said to be
so slight that it can only be detected
by experts may be one reason why 1t
has not been felt here in the local
market.
Dealers say that perhaps it is coming,
but they are unwilling TO go on record
as predicting that there Is to be fall in
prices.
Manager Carter of Golden & Co.,
dealing in dairy products and poultry,
said empha tically today he had noticed
no decline in the prices of the goods which
his firm handled.

Groceries Holding Their Own.

From Frank Hume, wholesale grocer,
it was learned that groceries were hold

that, taken as whole, there was little hope
tor the housekeepers that these products
would be cheaper for some time Flour.
IL was said. was a little cheaper. but on
the other hand, sugar, which Is very
large item in every household, Is higher
tnan it was a short time ago.
Rice Is cheap, but has been so for a long
time and little encouragement can be de-
ity. Canned peas are cheaper, but navy
beans are higher, and compound lard.
which is largely taking the place of lard.
is stronger When a commodity is said
to be strong the dealer means that the
price Is keeping up, that the demand
equals or more than equals the supply
r. j. Adams. wholesale dealer in fruits
and fresh vegetables. said today that he
could see no prospect for gradual and
permanent decline In the prices Of these
goods. He said that the orange market
was up. that apples were high. Strawber-
ries were little cheaper today. he stated.
but IL was to be expected that strawber-
ries would be cheaper as the season ad-
yanced Mr.. Adams did predict that
potatoes and cabbage probably would be
reasonably low this summer. but he onset
this by saying that tomatoes probably
would be high.
The retail dealers say that even If there
has been a slight decrease In wholesale
prices it has been so slight that it could
not affect the retail market.
