"a prominent club woman" who's ident-
iy is generally guessed and who is ad-
mitted to be from New York, is credited
with the statement that the General Fed
Grafton has been nearly wrecked by inefi-
cient handling; IL now wants a woman at
the head who is known, not merely as
sumed, to be a skilled hand and a broad
minded leader" This statement sounds
rattle awkward coming from " a promi-
nent member OF the state federation that
has supplied the present vice president and
the woman who for one year of the present
term acted as president Of the General Fed
Grafton In the absence of Mrs. Lowe-and.
incidentally, the woman that that same
state federation is bending every effort to
elect as Mrs. loves successor at the Los
Angeles biennial, Mrs. Dimies T. S. Dent
son, president of Sorosis.
In a full-page article in the San Fran
cisco Examiner of April 6 Mrs. Mary Urqu-
hart Lee is quoted as saying: Some OF
the friends OF Mrs. Robert ]. Burdette. past
president Of the California federation. are
urging her candidacy for the presidency OF
the General Federation, but probably the
bestowed woman in the federation today
and the one best fitted to harmonic all
factions and insure the looking to better
things is Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker of Den
YER" Mrs. Mary Urquhart Lee is not
alone in this speculation. There is a strong
undercurrent Of feeling all over the country
in favor Of Mrs. Decker. who fulhlls all Of
the requirements stipulated by the "promi-
nent club woman from New York and il
sufficiently far removed from Massachusetts
aud Georgia and the sections Influenced by
them to act unbiased for the best interests
OF the organization. Her ability to direct
large affairs cannot be questioned, owing to
her past valuable service to the Genera
Federation Of Woman's Clubs, and It seems
especially fitting that this trying period Of
sectional differences should be embraced q
try what the ability Of the middle west car
do for the General Federation.
To be sure Mrs. Burdette represents Q
section even further removed from the cas-
and south, but 1t must be admitted tina,
she Is prominent In clubdOm for having Wis
tied the clubs and declarations of twenty
Eve different states during the last sir
months rather than for any especially
prominent service she has rendered the
General Federation outside of California.
AS for Mrs. Alice Bradford Wiles of Chi
eago there is such a diversity Of opinion
regarding her ability among Chicago club
women that Il is difheult 10 stimate her
real strength as a candidate,
Mrs. Denison's service in the executive
Of the General Federation OF Woman's Clubs
will probably give her the support Of that

At army headquarters here the recent

cause the men so advanced are deserving
Of every honor which can be conferred upon

restricted in the number OF appointments,
he will provide for retirement at higher
rank than at present held by men who are
especially deserving.
This opinion is based upon the fact that
OF the men appointed to be brigadier gen

EIGHT HOUR DAY FOR PULl,.
Chief Donahue Looks with Favor on Three
Shift System.
THINKS IT WOULD IMPROVE SERVICE
May Recommend the Change to Fire
and Police Board and City
Council After ~Investi-
eating IL Further.

Chief Of Police Donahne Is in favor Of
introducing the three-shift system in the
Omaha police department, instead of having
the two shifts, as at present. The new
system would mean eight hours a
day work for the men instead Of twelve. as
at present, and the chief believes the
change can be made without increasing the
present force. He is at present ~investi-
eating the question more fully, and in a
short time will bring 1t before the board
and the city council. The three-shift system
is In vogue at Denver, Nashville. Milwaukee
and Buffalo and has lately been adopted at
Minneapolis and other cities.
Under the present system the men 20 to
work at 7 o'clock in the morning and work
until 7 In the evening, with an hour and a
half for lunch, the night men going on at
Z in the evening and reporting off, except
six men who do dog-watch duty. at 4 IN
the morning. these men being allowed forty
minutes for lunch. The chief believes that
by the eight-hour plan more ~eficient' work
could be done and the men would be In a
much better condition to do the work.
Works Well Elsewhere.
II advocated such a change two years
ago In my annual report said the chief,
"and have since written to several chiefs
OF ponce VINO nave worked under both sys-
TENS. and all who have tried il seem bet
ter satisfied with the new plan The chief
Of police at Denver wrote that the service
under the eight-hour system was much bet
ter and the men were in better condition
for work. / received the same reply from
Nashville. / believe 1t can be done with
the same number of men. The first shift
would report for duty at 8 in the morning
and quit at (, the second work untll y
and the third until s in the morning. The
men would be allowed fifteen or twenty
minutes for lunch. All the men would be
available for emergency duty.
When a man walks a beat for twelve
hours in the hot sun in the summer time
he feels very little like coming back for an
hours work in the gymnasium. The new
system would mean another captain and
possibly another sergeant. but II could be
done with very little extra expense. / am
going to attend the national convention OF
chiefs at Louisville, KY, in May. and will
find out more about the efficiency Of the
new system. II there are no unfavorable
reports at the convention shall bring the
matter before the board and council"
