Travelling Art Galleries.
The travelling art galleries sent out by
the art committee of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs are making
great record this season. A third col
lection was placed at the disposal of the
| committee December / by the Chicago
Water Color club. The collection includes
forty7five paintings and is now in Wis
| consin and much in demand. The west
ern gallery is travelling in Missouri and
the eastern agllery travelling through the
south, where the demand Is greater than
| Nah bS met Ht paintings Will Ieluln
to Chicago about June 1 and will be re-
turned to their owners. These travelling
collections have given material stimulus
to the study and interest in art through
out the country. The work of the very
best artists in the galleries attract at
| tention wherever exhibited. One of these
loan collections was a feature of the
vention of the Nebraska federation held
at Hastings last October
Women Want Eight-HOur Law.
| The club women of Colorado are up in
arms. For years there has been law
in Colorado prohibiting women from
working in factories and shops more than
| eight hours a day, or more than forty
eight hours a week. Recently this law
has been declared unconstitutional.
| The women of Colorado are reported to
be more stirred up over 1t than anything
that has happened since they received
the ballot. A local paper published a
cartoon showing the supreme court hand
| ing this decision to a sad-faced laundry
girl, while behind her and holding her
hand looms up a tall, resolute looking
woman, labelled "Woman's Clubs" saying
to the court: This un-American act of
yours has done more for the woman wage
Garner than all the organization and leg
islation could have done in years" An
| other paper reports club woman as say
ing of the judge who handed down the
decision: "Oh, Judge Blank! Well, you
know he always had a spine like jelly
jelly that wouldn't jell."
For Women Principals.
The Political Equality league and the
Mothers club of Berkeley, Cal, have Joined
| forces against the local school board be-
cause of a recently adopted rule forbidding
! the employment of women as principals
in schools having eighth grade. The
man who introduced the obnoxious rule
says that a man is necessary to discipline
the larger boys. The members of the two
womens clubs differ with him and point
to hundreds of schools throughout the west
in which women are serving successfully
as principals. The Berkeley women have
made personal Investigations to sustain
their contention and declare that their
town shall not be made an exception In
discriminating against women.

The Women's Trade Union league of
Chicago supplies medical consultation and
advice to working girls who are members
Of trade unions for 10 cents a year The

DR.. Rachel s. KaFros of Hull House as it's
staff physician. DR.. Karros has set aside
