COMMUNITY CLUB TO
BEFIRST IN The EAST
Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association to Have
$4,000 Home.

Plans for what is probably the first
community club house in the East
were adopted last night at meeting
OF the Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association, at the Army and Navy
preparatory school.
President w. B. Westlake was au-
thoTIzed by the members to appoint
committee to draw up final plans Tor
a club house to cost about $4,000. A
survey will be made of the district
covered by the association and To-
cation for the building will be chosen
as soon as possible.
The cost of the club house will be
met by members of the club. No sub
scriptions will be asked.
The club house will be erected at a
point available to the largest number
of citizens of the community. 1t will
include parlors. lecture rooms. dane
ing halls, rooms for private entertain
ments. kitchens. billiard rooms, bowl
ing alleys, Iounging rooms and
smaller rooms for other purposes. A
motion picture room will be a feature
of the building, especially for the
children. Matinees will be held two
or three times a week at which pic
lures not shown in the moving pic
lure theatres will be shown for the
children.
The club will not be like a country
club in that it will have no golf links,
or large grounds surrounding it. In
all probability one tennis court will
be built for the younger members of
the club.
No other citizens association in the
District of Columbia has a house, such
as planned by the association. and,
according to Mr.. Westlake, there is
none of the kind east of Indianapolis.

Ogden claims a population ten

The war revenue collected for the

for the month of November was
$500. The Salt Lake Tribune wrote
it up as an index of the commercial

On tha--same basis, Blackfoot
should have yielded $170 of war
revenue on the sales>pf tickets, but
it yielded over 5000.

- .--.'~-s .s~''~ WILSON MESSAGE

In this issue we print synopsis
of the presidents message delivered
at the opening of congress Monday.
1t urges the necessity of America
getting under the burdens of the war
with the understanding that it is to
be. long, hard war, and to be
fought with the determination that
the masters of Germany, not the
German people, but their masters,
must be crushed. He recommends

but not against Germany's other al
