a communication in which the board is
criticized in rather scathing terms. The
committee members say in part:
With health board either In militant opposi-
tion or diploma tically tolerating delays we have
been repeatedly thwarted in our efforts to have
San Jose's Chinatown put In a thoroughly sani-

of the board of health reviewed what
has been accomplished by the board
and said that the committee could not
make the board responsible for it's own
failure to accomplish what it had un-
dertaken.

Club FOR WORKING
WOMEN ORGANIZED
Twentieth Century Name of
New Institution, Which Is
First Ever Incorporated
Officers Elected and Plaus Out
lined That Will Interest
and Benefit Members

The initial steps for the organization
Of the Twentieth Century club. an i'm
mense organization intended exclusively
for the wage earning women of San
Francisco, were taken at a meeting
held IN Jefferson hall Wednesday night.
The club will be purely a social and
educational one. For some time past
there has been a sentiment among the
wage earning women of the city for a
club in which they could meet not only
the members Of their own branch of
employment. but also their sister work
ers in other lines. At the meeting
Wednesday night the project was for
mally launched, Miss Elsie Walden be-
ing elected president Miss Louise La
Rue vice president, Miss Nan Donovan
secretary and Miss Maud Younger
treasurer. Plans are now on foot to
secure headquarters in the Mission.
The new club will have reading,
music and recreation rooms of various
kinds. The membership will be con-
fined to wage earning women exclu-
sively. 1t viii embrace not only those
classes which are organized. but also
the large number such as stenogra-
pliers and shop girls who have no par
ticular organization.
The club will be the first of its kind
in the United States and is unique, in
asnuch as it was originated by the
working girls without outside aid or
advice. The Mission was chosen as the
best location for a headquarters, as it
would be convenient for the greater
number of the wage earning women.
