Club women who are expecting to at
tend the sixth biennial meeting Of the
General Federation of WOmen's clubs,
held In Los Angeles the first week In
May are particularly interested In the
fact that the railroads east OF Chicago
have unanimously determined to give
q round "trip rate from any given point
for 0neway fare; the roundtrip rate
between Chicago and Los Angeles on
each uans-contlnental line has been
fixed az $50. Therefore the exact
amount OF railroad fare can at this
early date be easily estimated.
The time limit on these round-trip
Ickets-tyo months-will give visitors
ample opportunity for some slght-see-
ing after the biennial meetings are over
