w onen's Clubs

"Will the Los Angeles district of c.
F. w. C. welcome and support a reg
istration bureau?" is a question that
each club in the district will be asked
to take action on during the next thirty
days.
The project of a registration and
general information bureau for the dis
trict was first presented to the women
at the Monrovia meeting, was referred
to q committee who reported favorably,
and there a permanent committee was
appointed with instructions to take the
matter up with the separate clubs and
report. the consensus of opinion 10 the
district officers. If the report is favor
able the bureau will be organized as
soon as possible and given "tryout"
this spring and next october, and its
degree of success previous to the an
nual meeting next November will prob
ably determine whether or no it be-
comes a regular part of the district
work.
This committee, consisting of Mrs.
Russell j. Waters. vice president of
the district: Mrs. Frank e. Prior, Mrs.
Cora Lewis of Ocean Park and Mrs.
Walter Peck of Compton, met in this
city Thursday subdivided the territory
and will begin their itinerary at once.
The proposition as it will be pre-
scented to the clubs may be outlined as
follows: Desk room has been offered
the bureau at 81 West Third street
by Mrs. Pearl Spaulding, where the
club women will share the pleasant
little waiting and reading room now
devoted to the women patrons of the
Columbia Trust company; no rent will
be charged, the only appreciable ex-
pense being the service of clerk, and
this item can be met by small levy
on the individual clubs each month.
Here guests from outside the district
and from other states will find well
come; here they may register and pre-
sent their credentials and be placed In
touch with such phase of the club life
of the district as they wish.
Here the club members of the dis
trict will find at all times the calendars
of all the other clubs, the terms on
which they issue guest cards and the
programs of the study clubs. Here
will be found all important publica-
lions of the state and general fedora
ton and information relative to the
district or federation can be had either
by calling, telephoning or writing. The
work, thus barely outlined, will be sup
plemented in various ways as time and
opportunity suggest. If the district
votes AYE" on the question the bureau
will probably be in operation soon after
March 1.

Sheridan Babcock, practical farm
er living near Owasa. has invented a
unique device to test seed corn. 1t is
a perpendicular frame about six feet
square through which at regular inter
walls are passed iron rods horizontal to
the base The ears to De dried and
tested are placed on these rods by
showing the iron rod into the cob of
the ear. The rods are far enough
apart so that if filled with the largest
ears they will not touch each other.
The whole case is covered with wire
screen to protect the corn from rats
and mice. The device holds 800 ears
or about eight bushels, enough to
plant sixty acre. This is capacity of
sample. Case can be made as large as
desired. He also has testing box to
match the corn case. Every ear in
the case has square in the test box,
so if ordinary care is exercised there
need be no confusion of grains of
corn.

Bradstreet's weekly review of trade
conditions gives the following opti-
mistic outlook: Expansion continues
in trade and industrial lines, ship
ments over railways increasing. idle
ness being diminished, prices in num-
erous lines higher, collections better
and sentiment brighter than it has
been for twelve months past. Spring
orders in wholesale and jobbing lines
are of larger volume. Spring busi-
ness is also developing quite freely
although widespread improvement in
this direction is not looked for until
after the turn OF the year. On the
whole. the situation is growing more
favorable though it must be recog-
nIzed outdoor operations tend to con.
tract with the coming of winter. that
some recent expansion has been tinged
with certain degree of speculation
based on anticipation of what is to
come and that the improvement may
be slow in reaching less important
centers.

Of the conference between Foreign Min
ister Iswolsky and the party leaders in
the Douma il 10 communicate 20 the
leaders the details of NJ Iswolsky's pro-
posed statement, 80 that the speakers
who will appear before the Douma may
prepare their replies to better advantage.
Certain points in the Russian plans with
reference 10 the Austro- Russian nego-
tiations, which 1t Is deemed inadyisable
10 make public, also will be presented
at the conference. THE representative OF
the Extreme Right declined TO accept
the invitation TO attend the preliminary
meeting, and has announced his intention
10 attack NJ. Iswolsky on the ground
that the foreign minister's policy in its
general lines has Inundated Russia. The
leader OF the Social Democrats did not
receive an invitation. NJ Iswolsky's
speech and his circular win in general
cover the same ground, although the
speech has been prepared with much
greater detail, as the foreign govern
ments are far better acquainted with
the developments than are the members
OF the Russian Parliament The foreign
minister viii take the ground that the
result of the Austro- Russian negotis
tions has been diplomatic victory for
Russia, since Austria has consented to
free discussion Of all nine points in
the London program at the preliminary
negotiations.
A general shake-up in the diplomatic
service will not be long delayed The
changes may involve Baron Rosen, the
Russian ambassador at Washington.
