TAKE. PRELIMINARY STEP
TO ORGANIZE SOCIAL CLUB
Employees of State, War and Navy
DEPARTMENTS Plan to Lease and
Equip Building.

Employees of the State. War and Navy
Departments are perfecting arrange
ments for the organization of a social
club similar to the Home Club of the
Interior Department.
The plan now under consideration is
to lease large building which may be
provided with dormitory features for
the unmarried members of the club. 1t
is also planned to equip the club with
a dance and assembly hall. card, bill
lard and pool rooms and bowling al
leys.
Secretaries Lansing and Daniels and
former Secretary Garrison have given
strong Endorsement to the new club in
letters written to w. II. Budd Leitch.
who took the initiative in organizing it.
In his letter Secretary Lansing said:
Your notice in reference to the forma-
ton of a social club for the employees OF
the State, War and Navy departments,
similar to the Home Club of the Interior
Department. has been brought to my
attention. I feel quite sure that such
an organization, properly conceived and
carried forward, would be the means for
the accomplishment of mutual interest
and pleasure among its members. me
social instinct Is strong among mankind,
and personal acquaintance developed in
ho,nelike and congenial atmosphere
would. almost of necessity. prove of adj
vantage in official dealings and rela-
lions. am pleased to commend your
efforts and to wish them the fullest
measure of. success"
Secretary Daniels Indorses Plan.
Secretary Daniels wrote as follows:
Il have learned of the organization
of your club, composed of clerks of the
State, War and Navy departments. and
I take pleasure in saying that I be-
lieve this club can be made a most
helpful and uplifting association. Any
movement that will tend to increase
better feeling and contentment among
the government clerks and which will
increase their efficiency in the depart
ments is worthy of commentator. The
club has my best wishes for its future
success and usefulness"
Mr.. Garrison wrote his letter some
time ago, before the plans of organ
ization had taken full form. He ex-
pressed his heartiest approval.
There are $500 officials and clerks in
the three departments. Officers of the
club hope eventually to increase the
membership to 5000.

Miss Dana Watkins Dead,

The many friends of the family resid-
ing in this parish will be grieved to learn
of the death of Miss Dana Watkins. eld-
est daughter of Congressman and Mrs
j. t. Watkins, of Minden, which &C.
Cured at their home some DAYS since,
death following lingering illness. Miss
watkins was young woman of liberal
education, of exceptional charm of per-
son, numbered her friends at home and
elsewhere by the score, and her untimely
death is universally regretted.
A pretty and fitting tribute to hel
memory published in last weeks issue
OF the Minden paper is closed thus:
"Dana loved all that was bright and
beautiful and had said she wanted pink
flowers to be placed upon her bier, and
her family and friends remembered this
and wreathed the casket in pink roses
The sacred mound was covered with
pink roses, a chain of unbroken love
from her friends. The floral offerings
were of unusual beauty and countless
numbers and the grave robbed of its
gloom.
San unselfsh life is now drawn to a
close, not like story completely told
when 1ife's evening throws its lengthen-
ing shadows across the pilgrims path
and all the tasks of life are done; but
in the midst of youth and usefulness she
has been called above. Thus the span
OF her earthly years belongs to the time
less eternities of God and the loss to
earth will be as gentle influence and
hallowed memory.
deepest sympathy comes from the
heart of every one for the grief stricken
family. Only the healing hand of time
and submission to Gods will soothes the
broken hearts,"
