So the woman drove around and

took him to the speakeasy, bought

back to the station house where he
changed again and got his motorcycle.
Then they went to the woman's home.
There she announced to her hus-

to come into the house.
"Can't we square this thing?" he
inquired. "At least. let's have a drink

Chevy Chase Again Considers

1--WE members of the Board Of
- Governors were elected at the

general club business.
| The five members Of the board chosen
are William P Meredith, Ben s. Minor,
DR.. Loren B. T. Johnson, H. Rozier
Dulany, jr, and Ord Preston. The en-
tire board will meet on December IA for
organization and to elect officers of the
club. H Prescott Galley is president
of Chevy Chase Club
In his report last night Galley men
toned that the Chevy Chase Club Board
of Governors is considering the acquisi-
ton of additional property for club pur-
poses, adding that before any action is
taken toward actually acquiring the
property the matter will be submitted
TO the entire club membership, probably
at a special meeting
Chevy Chase Club on two occasions
during the past Is years has turned
down proposals to acquire additional
property on which TO construct another
golf course The general theory behind
these proposals has been that the pres
ent holdings between Wisconsin and
Connecticut avenues and Immediately
south Of Bradley lane in Chevy Chase,
Md, are too valuable for golf purposes
and may be ruined by condemnation
proceedings for road purposes at any
time.
The Montgomery County Highway
Department proposes in the future to
cut road from the intersection of
Bradley lane and Wisconsin avenue to
Chevy Chase Circle, which would
diagonally bisect the club property and
ruin the present golf course.
Chevy Chase Club at present has
about 1,l00 golfing members with only
one golf course on which to play. This
golfing membership is the largest of
any club about the Capital, and the
golf facilities at Chevy Chase have
been termed inadequate
Galley did not go further in his re-
port on the proposed acquisition of
land than to mention that the board
! is considering the matter.
