and "Pappoose." The greens, hazards, and other features of its permanent eighteen-hole course, now in process of completion, are reproductions of Wisconsin Indian earthworks and symbols. Its permanent clubhouse, now being designed by the noted Wisconsin architect Frank Lloyd Wright, will be aboriginal American in its character, in every exterior and interior decorative detail. Meetings of the membership of the Nakoma club are designated as "tribal councils" or as "council fires," and its members as "warriors." The active golfers' organization of the club is the "War Bundle Society," which takes its name from the resemblance of the player's caddy bag to the sacred war bundles of the Wisconsin redmen. To become a member a player must attain a certain degree of perfection in the sport. Moccasin Tracks, the official paper of the Nakoma club, brings to its members a periodical account of all the social affairs, sports, and other activities of the organization.

The Black Hawk Country Club, another Madison organization, is preserving on its grounds on the Lake Mendota shore some fine examples of prehistoric Indian effigy and other mounds. These are soon to be marked with tablets.
