The Most Original Club in America

There exists in one of our great Western cities unique secret club called by the members, the Get-Out and Get-On club,' says writer in the June American Magazine. Tt was organized seventeen years ago by ten ambitious men who looked upon them selves as not yet having won success. Membership for twelve years has been limited to fifty. The rules are what makes this club different. No mem Der may call himself a success until the club votes him one, and when the club votes any member a Success, he is expelled and his place is filled by another, But before a Success is ex- pelled dinner is given in his honor l and to welcome the new member At l this dinner the Success must read a paper explaining to his fellows how and why he won. These papers are preserved"

"Keep Watch on Children"

Preceding Miss Tapley's address Mrs.
Court F. Wood. president of the District
of Columbia Federation of Women s
Clubs, urged all mothers present to keep
watch on their children and discourage
them from attending anything but what
they knew to be reputable films.
1.-THE future of the nation lies in the
heart of the child said Mrs. Wood.
THE big thing is to keep children clean
and let them hold the ideals of childhood
as long as possible. From undesirable
films they will get a knowledge that is in
tended only for adults. We should not
make adults out of children so soon, but
give them something to look forward to
in later life. Unclean pictures with their
so-called important moral lesson accom-
plish no good. They are no warning.
They leave only bad impressions and spoil
the minds of the children seeing Them
Plans were further discussed for the
work of the chaperons at the demonstra- :
tion matinees to begin in twelve local
theaters January 5. Mrs. Giles Scott
Rafter, president of the Congress of
Mothers. and Mrs. Joseph n. Saunders of
the Edmonds School Parent-Teacher As
sociation. both of whom are in charge OF
this phase of the work, made short ad-
dresses on the importance of the work OF
the chaperons. Stress was laid upon the
endless chain" means of communicate ting
with all the mothers of the city and tell
ing what is best to send their children
to see.

TELLS HOW TO CURE
UNDESIRABLE FILMS
Miss Rose Tapley Says Secret Lies
in Box Office Receipts, in Ad-
dress to Committee.

In the box office receipts of the mo-
undesirable films" declared Miss Rose
Tapley of the Vitagraph company be-
fore meeting of the citizens commit
tee which is conducting the campaign
for cleaner pictures for Washington at
the Ebbitt House yesterday afternoon.
You cannot get clean films simply by
sitting at home and roasting a screen
play you saw once upon time or by
talking" Miss Tapley went on. "If you
will have better pictures you must CO.
operate with the exhibitor by telling
him when he is showing undesirable
do so, you should discontinue your
patronage of his house. When he sees
his box Office receipts decreasing after
your first warning he will quickly real
ize that 1t will be better for him to
give the public what it wants.
Miss Tapley condemned suggestive
plays. both from the viewpoint of those
conducting the film industry and that
of a person deeply interested in the
welfare of children.
The heads of the motion picture in
dustry have worked twenty years to
make i the fifth largest in the United
States" she said. They have no de-
sire to ruin their labors by flooding the
market with unclean pictures, for they
realize that bad pictures Will in time

TAKOMA PARK CITIZENS
WANT SWIMMING POOL
Petition Signed by 243 Residents
Forwarded to Commissioner
Oliver P. Newman.


A petition signed by 243 citizens of
Takoma Park, requesting the Commits
sioners of the District to place swim
ming pool in their neighborhood. was
forwarded yesterday by Mrs. Edith P
Connolly to Commissioner Oliver P
Newman through the office of the de-

designates as possible location for a
pool square 31S5, which contains 16,S9S
square feet, at the junction of Chest
nut street with Spring road.
For some time the residents of the
Takoma Park neighborhood have been
anxious to have a swimming pool placed
In that district. What action the Com
missioners will take on the matter at
this time cannot be stated, but it is
improbable that it will be favorable in
view of the fact that the provision for
swimming pools has been eliminated

which has been designated for South
