Washington, Feb. 5.-The women
who are DESTROYS of having the privi-
lege of voting will hail with delight
the news that Congressman Burton
L. French of Moscow, Idaho, has now
before the house committee on cleo
lions suffrage bill providing that
section two of article one of the
constitution, providing for the cleo
ton of members of the house of rep
resentatives by the people, shall be
enforced so far as relates to the vot-
ing of women.
1t is short measure and tells it's
object in plain language. 1t enacts
that inspectors of election in the sew
eral districts of the United States
shall receive and count the votes of
women as part of the people for
members of the house, or failing to
do so shall be subject to the penalties
incurred by the violators of federal
law. The concluding section of the
bill declares that the house of rep
resentatives in judging of the cleo
ton of it's members shall require
that the women in the different cleo
ton districts of the United States
shall be allowed to vote, and that
their votes must be duly counted for
members of the house, land that any
proposed member not SO elected,
shall be rejected. Exchange.

We have written Mrs. Holden, our
ex-district president, to know what
special variety of microbes she had
in mind when she caused the vari-
Gus new committees to be created
We will hear from her soon and can
assure those appointed on the sever
al new works that she will lend
valuable assistance to them The
Reciprocity, with Mrs. Hoover as
chairman, is a new venture that bids
fair to accomplish much good. Mrs.
Hansbrough, chairman of Arts and
Crafts, which is also new, is busy
seeking information and getting in
touch with such part of the work as
can be put into practical use in the
first district and while she may not
be able to accomplish much this year
she will have report that shows
activity when the district federation
meets next fall.
Mrs. Antilles of Pocatello is chair
man of the new Outlook committee,
and should you know of prospec-
tive new club, or any work you think
should belong to this department,
write to Mrs. Antilles about it, she
will be glad to get the information
and You will be doing good service
for the district as we'll.

The Civic Club cook book was
mentioned at the Current Event |
meeting with much interest. At least |
a half dozen hands went up at once |
when some one asked who wanted |
one, and member was at once dele
gated to find out the price, which we
have since learned is so cents, and
may be ordered from Mrs. Chas.
Brooks, secretary of the Civic club,
Pocatello. The women of that town
have a reputation for good cooking
and we think they are making
good If we may be permitted to
Judge from the looks of the book, /
and those who have had opportunity
to test some of the receipts pro-
nounce them excellent.
