CLUB FOR YOUNG
MEN PROPOSED.
LIKELIHOOD OF ORGANIZATION
IN THE NEAR FUTURE
Interest is Manifested and If
Proposition Goes Through,
Quarters Can Be Had.

Some of Athena's y2ung business
and professional men are consider ing
the feasibility of organizing a club
for social convenience, and in all like
lihood such an organization will be
effected in the near future.
Attorney g. H. Bishop, who has
given the matter attention to some ex
tent, finds several who are ia favor of
an organization of this kind. 1t is
understood that rooms in the Barrett
building, formerly occupied By the
Commercial association can be Sc
cured. The rooms ale nicely adapted
for club. They are furnished com
fortably and with the assistance of a
janitor. could be always ready TO re-
ceive mem bers of the club and their
friends.
Mr.. Bishop favors the esta ablishment
of reading room, where daily papers
magazines and periodicals would he
available at all times. Also card
tables would be provided for the
amusement of those who enjoy an
evening at games. In fact the insti
tuition would be one in which the
mem bers could always find pleasure
in spending their evenings when SO
disposed.
Athena has never had anything of
the kind, and other towns of the coun
ty where such clu bs exist find them
|'of great advantage socially.
Some time ago the young men Of
Pilot Rock organized club with a
limited mem bership. The club en-
braces the leading men of the place,
and the clubIoom door ksy is the Gre
Dental of mem bership. 1t is said
there has never teen key returned.
Dues are promptly paid and the result
has been that the club has done much
good for the town socially. 1t was
instrumental in securing splendid
series of lectures last winter which
Pilot Rock citizens thoroughly en-
joyed, and many other benefits have
been derived through the united etfol is
of club members.
But the prime object of a club OF
this nature is the pleasure of asso
citation derived through the conven-
ience Of having suitable place in
which to spend evenings in company
with oongenial companions.

Mrs. Roosevelt made visit TO the
SICK room shortly after the colonel
had ordered his breakfast. She re

then as her husband seemed drowsy,
she left. AS she was away, Roose-

the window, where he sat down and
gazed into the street. Then he went
back TO bed and fell asleep.
The first X-Ray TO give satisfactory
results shows that the bullet Is part

fourth rib, about four inches from the
breast bone. The bullet Is much fia.r

crushed against the upper edge OF
the rib and several small splinters or

shows an unusual spread and arch

great size OF the colonel's lungs and

But on this day the Department OF
Public Charities formally proposed,
at the meeting OF the committee OF
primary schools OF the board OF edu-
cation, the establishment OF a clear
ing house for the examination OF
mentally defective persons. under the
charge of a body OF accredited ex-
perts in mental and nervous diseases.
Under It's plan each person referred
to the bureau is TO have a thorough
examination 10 determine the particu-
lar nature and degree OF his disabii-
ity. Complete records are to be kept

yironment Of the subject and his fam
fly. This process, safeguarded In the
interest Of the patient as we'll as OF
the public. will aid in determining
whether he is q potential menace TO

sense that he might develop way

According TO his condition or mani
tested tendencies, the bureau, 30 soon

shall in each case advise proper
course OF action. The plan for the
bureau is comprehensive, embracing

and agencies like the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children, or

other persons who may wish to refer

The benefits to the community
from such a plan. properly executed,
would be many II would coordinate
all activities into one bureau organ

mentally defective individuals In this
community. bringing about for the
first time in its history their COM

the bureau would depend upon the
cordial cooperation Of all the public
departments and private agencies. II

that, In the application of some effec-
tive and comprehensive measure, II
will be met"
