PLANS CIVIL SERVICE
CLUB ORGANIZATION
Secretary Lane Would Give Gov
ernment Employees New In
stitution.
The Civil Service Club.

The Civil Service club.
A big institution with q membership
or 10000 or more and a gigantic club
house. covering perhaps a city block,
and with every pecessary feature to
make homelike and successful club,
an institution providing relaxation,
recreation. and wholesome social inter-
course for the great army Of Govern
ment workers here.
This is one Of the ideals, and the aim
OF Secretary of the Interior Franklin
*. Lane. .
AT the opening Of the Home Club. a
club for all Of the employees OF the In, In,
he hoped to see the day that club
house was opened for all Of the Gov
ernment employees in Washington.
Since that time the Secretary mas
been consistently at work on the ldea.
In his judgment. there Is one big OBJ
stacle in the way-the matter OF imam
cling an institution so large?
The Secretary, however. mas ap-
Club to null over the idea. to seek
suggestions and ways and means.
Employees of the other departments
have been sounded out informally on
the question. and asked to offer their
views.
Il have no doubt" Secretary. Lane
said today. that such an institution
would be welcomed and would be a
success. 1t should have its own cup
house. a structure sufficiently large
for all purposes. This would cost $780,
900 or more. There are many difficult
ties in the way of financing II. do not
believe that 1t could be successfully
done by subscription or by binding the
membership. Men. and woman, too.
would not want to feel any personal re-
sponsibility for such an undertaking.
THE only solution that seems feas-
ible at this time" the Secretary con-
tinued. "is to have the club financed
by a syndicate of men of sufficient
means and the spirit to be a part Of
| such an undertaking. 1t could not be
done through q large initiation. The
| success OF the Home Club has been in
large measure due to the fact that
there were no obstacles to overcome In
| gaining admission to the club. The ini-
| tiation is but 81. and certainly any one
could nav that.
"A big club. such as have suggested
| would be self-supporting once Il was es-
ia blished. but it should not be too heav-
| lily burdened."
Concrete plans for the club will be ad-
vanced at a meeting of the committee
| on cooperation in the near future Sec.
