He.bert Hoover, who will then be the only living cx-Pre: of the United States, ecidents of other foreign and American press clubs and representatives of leading press associations, newspapers and schools of journalism will be invited as honor guests. On_subsequent dates there will fol- low various kinds of functions, in some of which journalism and journalists will be featured, while in others eminent fig- ures in pra ly every important branch of the workd’s work will tribute to the newspaper as it touches their professions or callings. From time to time prominent foreign journalists and leaders of the profession in Amer- ica will deliver addresses which will be carried to every section of the globe by radio. Similarly, statesmen, rulers and diplomats whose names are household words everywhere, will make talks to the world-wide audience. At least one of the entertainments will review in both serious and comedy vein the history of the club, which began in unpretentious quarters at 1205 P street. It was in this structure that men like Buffalo Biil, Alfred Henry Lewis, diplomats, and men of the the- ater and business world gathered in the bar to “swap epigrams.” Club Quarters Moved. On March 20, 1909, the club moved in more commodious quarters at Fif- teenth and F streets. There it was, in February, 1910, that the club began its famous series of *“Hobby Nights.” Then the Presidents of the United States from Taft to Coolidge started “@ropping _in” for chats or informal talks in the lounge. It was at such times as these that Mr. Taft confessed | tions of Washingto: his fondness for “window shopping,” and Dr. Wilson told how hard it was 1dr him to locsen up and be what he described as “a good fellow.” In 1914 the club moved to the top floor of the T the time of the enactment of the “bone dry” Sheppard prohibition law for tke District in March, 1917, three years before national prohibition, Washington was estimated to have been about three-fourths “dry"—in area—due to restrictions imposed on the locations of saloons under the old Jones-Works high license law of 1913 and preceding statutes. The shaded areas in the map above indicate some of the larger “dry” por- n. That area desig- nated as “No. 1"—the largest—was restricted as to establishment of saloons by the following section of the Jones- Works law: “No saloon or wholesale liquor busi- THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Craig, chairman of the Anniversary Committee, said: “In dedicating this commemoration tq the journalism of the world, we hope to have a series of such events and ptograms as will forcibly remind all nations, and all professions and call- ings in which people engage, of the tremendous influence and power of the press. In doing that, we hope, too, to bring all journalists into a closer ‘bond of union, and, by the same token, forge yet another link in the chain of good feeling which should and does unite the nations of the earth. “Obviously, such a celebration will be not only the occasion for discussion and | to prepare his argument opposing dis- Teminders of the chief events, the race's triumphs and disappointments, that have marked the last quarter of & cen- tury. It will go further than that by calling attention to the manner in which journalism has played its essen- tial and inevitable part in bringing ebout, as well as in recording, those epochal events. pggn brief, our silver jubilee celebra- tion will be, we hope and plan, an out- standing opportunity for the world and the journalism of the world to be- come better acquainted with each other, and for journalism and the various phases of society to develop a deeper and more appreciatitve understanding of each other. “The commemoration, as we have planned it, will have an appeel and Interest for everybody, because who is the man or woman that can claim im- perviousness to or freedom from the |- power of journalism and the trends of thought and action it sets in motion?” The members of the Twenty-fifth ‘Anniversary Committee are Mr. Craig, Frank A.
