Hat Passed at Meeting Of Enthu-
siastic Members Nets 5000
for Building Fund.
DUES INCREASED FOR YEAR
Plans Asked for Fine Structure
and Work Will Be Start
ed in April.

An ingenious plan for immediate
construction of $4,000 clubhouse on
their East Lake estate, to take the
place of the structure destroyed by
fire a week ago, was devised Saturday
night by members Of the Atlanta Ath-
letic Club.
1t was a large and loyal gathering
Of members in the town house Of the
Athletic Club, so large and so loyal
that suggestion that the hat be
passed for contributions toward a
new country clubhouse met with
ready response. Subscriptions
amounting to $500 were secured. In
addition, the members decided that
each will pay 50 month in addition
to his regular dues for the next
twelve months. This. with 1000
members enrolled, insures $4,000,
and together with the $4,000 insur-
ance collected and the $500 given by
the members makes certain nearly
$4,000.
Plans and specifications for the new
clubhouse will be asked Of all Atlanta
architects, to- be submitted immed:-
ately, and to Nbe opened for consider
alton by ne directors early this week.
The architects are not limited to any
particular design; the only specifica-
ton demanded by the club members
is that 1t be fireproof.
The plans selected, the directors
will asgssfor bids from contractors,
and, according to the statement Of
B. E. Thrasher, club secretary. viii
start the construction work before
April has passed
1t was plain from the talk at the
meeting that the new clubhouse will
be in no way similar to the one
burned. Declarations we're heard that
the old house was unsatisfactory m
many respects.

ROME. March 2s.--Judge Joel
Branham. with the experience Of Is
years to back his verdict. has an
nounced in statement to the public
Of Rome that the tango has its good
points. Furthermore. he says his
years are not going to keep him
from learning to trip lightly the mod

Judge Branham's paper is the sem
sation in the tango war that has
split society here. The war was pre-
cipitated when Miss Klara Jennings
instructor Of the tango, came to Rome
from Rochester, N. Y. recently, and
opened class in the new steps. AS
protest against her venture, the
City Council raised the license tax
for dancing teachers from $25 to $50,
but enough friends of the project
have been mustered to make up a
considerable class for the militant
danseuse from the North.
