INSURANCE IS TO BE USED TO REBUILD CLUB Park Board Opposed to Spending Additional Money on Woodstock Club. to restore the Woodstock Country Club building to Its condition before a fire Sunday almost destroyed it, pro Tiding no more money i£ spent than is received in the insurance settlement, was reached by the board of park commissioners today In a conference ■with representatives of the club. The city owns the club buildings and the forty-cight-acre golf course adjoining. Tho club holds a ten-year lease, a year and a half of which has expired. In a discussion of the policy of restoring the clubhouse, Commissioner Sarah Shank, wife of the mayor, objected to putting any more money iri tho building than is received in insurance. The board should spend its money on playgrounds and improvements to benefit the masses, she held. The other commissioners agreed with her. President C. A. Bookwalter said he believed it wise to restore the clubhouse, however, since it will be in good shape for the city when it comes into municipal possession at the termination of the lease, and since the Woodstock Club is paying $5,000 a year rental on the property. The clubhouse is worth approximately $60,000, officials of the club said. It and the land nas purchased approximately two years ago by the city for $150,000. raised by a twenty-five-year, 4 per cent bond issue. The fire damage Is estimated at around $45,000. The city has $42,500 insurance upon the property. The board will seek to recover all the Insurance. Lynn B. Millikan, building contractor, was named as the board'* representat-ve in negotiations with insurance adj istors. Under the I *ase the Woodstock Club pays tho city $".000 a year the firs* five of the leas-' and SO,OOO a year the ■st five years. Tl-Is meets the bond interest. Menu while- the property is kept up by the club Mr. Bookwalter said this was of vsl* e to the city since it would be turned o'er to the city in perfect condition. He said the city needs more public golf courses. “Golf has come to be a disease,’* said Mr. Bookwalter. “It is like locomotorataxia, it is progressive and once you get it you never get rid of it. More people are getting it all the time and I’ll venture that when the city g*-ts possession of the Highland course in July that even with It, South Grove, Riverside and Ellenberger courses there will not be enough facilities for all the people who want to play.” Mr. Bookwalter said he would like to have seen the board buy tnoro laud to the south of Woodstock in Golden Hill so as to enlarge the Woodstock course to eighteen holes, but “the Parry estate wanted too much money.” The Golden Hill Realty Company asked the board $3,000 an acre for the additional land. TO BOYCOTT GAS IF RAISE STANDS Civic League Passes Resolutions Protesting Raise in Rates.

LEARNS SECRET OF YOUTH

HOW YOU CAN KEEP YOUNG Losing your grip on youth?” Yon needn't! Look at Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, 77, still taking an active part in a theatrical production! “Every woman can keep young,” she says, “as long as she retains her youthful enthusiasms.” Read Mrs. WhifTen's story and practice what she preaches before you begin to say: “I'm not as young as I used to be.”

BY MARIAN IT ALE. The beauty secrets of a girl of 17 are Interesting, but easily discredited on the ground the' (he real secret is youth, despite her devotion to Jones' tonic and Smith’s cream. i But—when a woman who hns come ! within three birthdays of being SO years 1 old makes observutiims on the subject of feminine beauty, conviction goes with her words. Especially if she has had sixty years on the stage ami is still successfully compering with the spring crop of Broadway beauties’ Such a woman 1s Mrs. Thomas Whif fen, a girl of 77. and that's why I asked her for a few timely remarks on keeping young and beautiful. “I was never a beauty,” she began, "so I never stayed up nights trying to keep what I didn't have. Instead, I went to bed at night and got my sleep, arose early and took plenty of exercise. 'Til tell you something—most of th actresses you admire on the stage aren’t really beautiful. They are clever. They make you think they are beautiful by acting ns if they were “A woman soon outlives her flapper days—at least, she should. If she hasn’t outgrown her bnhy stare and still nets like a debutante at 40 she la a pathetic sight. “To live keenly and get anything out of life you’ve got to experience and to

think. These things will make you i..ature and you will show it. But maturity has its beauty. “Experience, tolerance, understanding and love combine to make something which radiates from the face that is as powerful as the beauty of youth. “Sarah Bernhardt Is an example of a clever woman. Why do you suppose she always wears high-necked gowns with soft, ruff effects about her throat? “Simply because she was always thtn and never had a beautiful neck. Instead of getting excited about it, though, she Just covered it up and acted as if it were lovely. “Notice her hair —it’s always pulled down over her brows. That’s because her forehead Is wrinkled. She probably conceals a number of deep lines under that red hair—but isn't that the sensible thing to do? “I believe every woman can keep young, liovever. She needs only keep up her youthful enthusiasms and her interest in others. “1 can do now anything that I ever did—but 1 do it 1n moderation. I get much pleasure from playing the piano, and ranch from dancing. I seldom dance in public any more because I do not know the new dances. But I enjoy a waltz as much as I ever did. “Mountain climbing—they're really only hills—is one of my greatest pleasures. I have a country place down in the Blue Ridge Mountains and I spend a great deal of time out of doors in my garden. There: wasn't a day last winter, no matter how stormy it was, that I wasn’t out for at least an hour. "I can siitl Jump into a part on short notice snd learn my lines as easily as I j ever did. I want to stay on the stage until I cm 80. Then I expect to retire and spend the rest of my time In the country. “If I were asked to !ay out a beanty schedule for a woman I'd say: Work bard, play hard, spend some time out of doors every tiny, and somo with a good book —nnd learn to relax. “That's about all I can tell you.” At that Point Mrs. Whiffen heard her cue and went on with “The Advertising of Kate,” her current play.
