What Women's Clubs Really Do
BY CYNTHIA wESTovER ALDEN ~
PrestAGeni of the International

Women are progressing. Organization
was for them an acquired taste. Their clubs
in earlier phases we're full of meat for the
humorist. Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. Robinson, all born rhetoricians and
essayists, gathered half dozemmeek satel-
lites and assured themselves of listeners.
Such was the typical genesis of the Woman's
Club; its Exodus came when any fourth
woman aspired to be one Of the staff Of lee
turers. Divisions in clubs led to the devel-
ment OF the parliamentary law expert. She
was fearfully omniscient creature, versed
in the mysteries Of many manuals. She is
still somewhat in evidence, but in a modi-
fed form. Her prestige has disappeared.

terms are the best the Beers could
reasonably expect, and they are wise
not to prolong a war that, In spite Of
temporary successes, would lead to
their own determination.

NINETY-ONE SALOON
LICENSES ISSUED so FAR

When the order requiring the clos
ing of saloons at midnight went into
effect some months ago there was IA
loud protest from saloonkccpers and
others who claimed that the business
would suffer and that the city's reve-
nues would be depleted by the failure
of saloonkecpcrs to renew their Ii
cenScs at the end OF the half year.
So far there have been 81 saloon Ii
ccnscs issued since Nov. l and two or
three more will probably I've taken
out. During the last six months there
have been % saloons in operation.
This leads to the conclusion that
either the saloonkeepers were unduly
alarmed or that the rule requiring
midnight closing is not being cnforc-
ed rs vigorously as it was at first.
Those who have taken out licenses
recently are p. Z. Pfaff, T. Won
Hecke, George Behrens. Robert
Shannon, Herman Banker. Charles
McIlugh. Mike Driscoll. Simon Lewis.
