The proposed club house as submitted by Irving s. Harrison, superintendent of parks, would be ,75 feet square, would contain lockers and showers O room for equipment and a place for the sale of refreshments.
 The plan of financing the prop osition would be by the Issuance of notes instead of bonds. It was pointed out by MT Harrison that q club house as suggested would pay for itself within a very short time. He said 1t would also help create more interest in the golf course among those who did not patronize the course because there are no facilities there for taking care of players after a hot, tramp over the Mountain course,
 Superintendent Harrison's report containing the figures of the sea- sons play at the course was read, showing a profit of nearly $2,700.

And at several homes there were tableaux depicting scenes from Miss Alcott's works.
 A nation wide survey made re- gently among 80,000 girls ranging in age from 10 to IS revealed that Miss Alcott is still the favorite au- thor of American girlhood; that Little Women is the favorite book; and that r"Jo March, Louisa herself as a character in Little Women"-is the favorite character.

DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, Nov 29.-(UP)- Republican senators who were de- feated in the democratic landslide are cracking jokes at their own expense as they return to Wash ington for the short session of con- gress.
 Senator Moses of New Hamp- shire said he had been somewhat disconnected by the necessity of getting ready to retire in three months when he had thought he would have six more years of prep aration. He added that he thought he would write his "reminiscences.
 sT can make more money that way anyhow than by sitting in the senate he said.
 Senator Watson of Indiana was asked if the writing of reminis- censes appealed to him.
 "Who Tn hell would want to read them ?" he countered.
 But might make a hit if could write all the Joe Cannon stories know. The trouble is you couldn't print half of them." The recent campaign also was echoed in the senate foreign rela- tions committee hearing on the St Lawrence waterway treaty. Sena- tor Glenn, defeated in Illinois. mentioned 1t. wi1ereupon Senator Borah, republican. Ida. inquired with a bland innocepce:
 "What campaign do you refer to?"
 Senator Wagner. democrat. N. Y., answered.
 ''It was the campaign that you graced with your absence, senator" Ne told Borah.
