TO IMPROVE CLUB MEETINGS.

Through its Library Committee. the Massachu-
setts State Federation has presented several excel
lent programmes for Home Talent Days" calling
attention 10 the following three principles:
First-To avoid mental confusion and TO leave a
clear cut, definite impression only subject
should be presented at a session. unless the sub
jects closely allied.
second-Make sure that the topic selected IS rich
in interest vital in its import and worthy of serious
study AS Rossetu wrote to a poet friend Work
your material all you please, only be sure II Is
gold and worth working"
Third-Take up the subject from different points
OF view Usually subject has several sides-hs-
torcal, ethical, social and economic-which should
be developed in the papers and discussion.

TO SAVE CLIFF DWELLINGS
COLORADO STATE FEDERATION WORK
ING EARNESTLY FOR THEIR
PRESERVATION.

In Colorado the women are actively engaged IN
trying to obtain possession Of the cliff and cave
dwellings in the southwestern part OF that state
For the last few years Mrs. Gilbert Mcclure
chairman of the committee appointed by the
Women's State Federation for the preservation OF
the cliff dwellings, has devoted her time trying to

traces of those interesting people. whose descend
ants occupy Mesa Verde, will have passed out Of
the reach OF the State.
Mesa Verde is part of the Indian reservation,
and contains over four hundred and cliff
dwellings 1t while on a recent visit to that
section of the country that Mrs. McClurg had a
conference with the chief of the Navajo tribe or
Indians and from him obtained promise OF a
lease of Mesa Verde to the women of Colorado.
There is a small section of land on Mesa Verde
belon ging to the Government on which are a num-
ber OF ruins, and it is now the intention Of the
cubwomen to petition Congress to allow them to
lease Mesa Verde from the Indians.
The plan of the association IS to convert the
cliff dwellings into a great park to build trail
q rest house, and to have toll that will help to
defray the expenses
In order to carry out the preliminary plans Of
this undertaking the sum of $2o0 IS required. and
Mrs. McClurg has asked the clubwomen of Colo
rado to give 25 cents apiece to raise the necessary

of the prehistoric races. Women may become
