PRESS CLUB ANNUAL
|STYP|CAL PRODUCT
Book, With Unique Binding, Tells
of Great Growth of Writer'S
Organization.

With a membership of 1000. including
the names of the President of the Uni
ted states, three members of his Cabl-
net. and many other men prominent IN
public life. the National Press CLUB
records a wonderful growth in it's new
year book, which was made public to-
day. Hundreds of authors and news
paper writer's in all parts Of the world
are shown to be members of this Or
ganiZation.
The book itself is typical of the club
Instead of the customary leather or
cloth binding. unique covers made of the
front page matrices metropolitan
country, have been provided. The book
is distinctly a press production. Like
the club quarters, the walls OF which
are lined with original cartoons and
first-page productions. it has the news
paper atmosphere"
The book shows that despite the club s
growth during the six years of its ex-
istence, the purpose OF it's founders
that it should be a press club In the
true sense has never been lost sight or

elevation to the highest office in the
land. Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Daniels

management.
Tells of Entertainments.
The club annual. which carries many
views of the interior Of the new home
as we'll as the roof garden, contains an
interesting account OF the unique en-
tertainmerts that have been provided
from time to time. At least two Presi-
dents of the United States have select
ed the rooms of the National Press
Club for heart-to-heart talks such as
are seldom made by Chief Executives.
During the last day of his Administra
ton, President Taft came to the club
quarters to say gOod-by, and in doing
so made what he called confession"
of his shortcomings. President Wilson
visited the new clubrooms and tod Of
his desire to be "humanized." Presi-
dent Roosevelt was O. frequent caller.
The statements attracted as much atten-
ton as any speeches made during the
Administrations.
Has Comfortable Home.
Concerning the club quarters, the
year book says in part: The National
Press Club has new home-a more
comfortable one in every way II oc-
cupies the top floor and roof garden Of
a modern building just across the street
from the Treasury building. and looking
dc wn into the grounds of the White
House. The new home Is ideal because
Of its central location and accessibility
and equipment"
The year book committee, which built
the book, was composed of Fred A.
Emery. Ashmun N. Brown, Austin
Cunningham, Frederic ]. Haskin,
John Oliver LaGorce. Frank L.
Fisher, and William A. van Ben
schoten. Assistance was received from
James William Bryan and George W.
