Athletic Facilities to Keep

Recreational facilities to keep busi-

physical trim will be an outstanding
feature OF the recently-organized City
Club.
Club officials point out that there
long has been a need in the down.
town section for athletic and recre-
ational facilities that might be used
by persons who have not the time
to 60 any great distance in quest OF
the exercise that their physical sys-
tens require
The City Club, which will be locat-
ed within two blocks of Thirteenth
and G streets northwest. the heart
of the business section. will offer the
business man just such facilities for
physical development. according to
club officials.
The club will have a fully equipped
gymnasium. and 1t Is likely that
gym classes. under direction OF
trained physical culture experts. will
he organized. the hours being ar
ranged so as to suit different groups
OF members. This system will en-
able a business man to slip away
from his Office for merely a half an
hour. or at the most an hour. and
in that short time get such daily
exercise as physicians so heartily
recommend.
The club will also have a large
swimming pool.
While plans for the other athletic
features OF the clubhouse have no,
been definitely decided upon. 1t Is ex-
tremely probable that there will be
facilities for bowling. billiards, hand
ball. basketball and other popular
games Of sport.
On certain days the athletic and
recreational facilities will be extend.

As Gateway to South

Georgetown. Gateway to the
South"
With the foregoing as their slo-
gan, several of the leading bust
ness men of Georgetown are CIV
ing consideration to plans for the
formation of commercial organi-
nation of merchants and manufac-
turers. They point with pride to
old Georgetown and its prestige
both as a manufacturing place and
port, when vessels from all parts
of the world loaded and unloaded
at the wharves along Water or K
street. and the hum of industry
and whirring machinery bespoke
plenty and prosperity
Several of the solid citizens OF
Georgetown declared their river
front is an ideal place for the
establishment Of factories. 1t would
be free from the objections urged
against the placing of plants In the
downtown districts-the smoke and
observation of the scenic beauty
of the city.
Already, there are several manu-
featuring plants of considerable
size and capacity along water
street, and no objection has been
raised to smoke or other condi-
tions. These plants include the
largest paper factory in the South
the only flour and meal mill in the
District, ice factories, and others.
