WOMEN ARE BEST

Women are preferred as machinists
in many Of the big plants in Chicago.
Foreigners are mostly employed, be-
cause American girls, as explained
by foreman, object to coming in
contact with the oil and dust of the
shop and because the wages are small.
Many of the employees were married
women who found that sort of life
failure, and they drifted into the
machine shops. They learn the trade
much more readily than men or boys.
Three dollars week is paid to be-
ginners in most of the plants.

THE BIENNIAL

Who are going to attend the com
ing general federation biennial meet
ing which will be held in Cincinnati
in May? The last meeting held IL
Boston was so distant the journey
seemed too long and expensive fol
many club women of Idaho to con
slider, and aside from the distance
there was little to draw people tC
Boston. Only two were in attendance
from our state, Mrs. Kootz of Nam.
pa and Mrs. Dymea Jones of Idaho
Falls. So many of our club women
were formerly from the middle west
states 1t would seem quite an incen-
tive to visit former homes and Incl.
dentally attend the biennial or. vice
versa. Club exchanges are full OF
preparations being made by the en-.
PERTAINING city, the local committees
and general federation workers.
Every federated club is receiving let
tiers asking for information or sug-
costing work to be done quickly. All
is activity throughout the club world.
The Isthmus of Panama will probably
send delegates. How well is our state
to be represented? There are some
clubs in the state who are unfamiliar
with these big biennial meetings to
whom information will be gladly fur
nished upon request.
The language Of the minutes of the
state session held in Moscow is not
quite clear in regard to delegates cleo
ted to the biennial, it reads as fol-
lows.
"Mrs. Standrod nominated Mrs. j.
H. Forney as delegate to the next
biennial. Mrs. France nominated
Mrs. Frank Kettenbach of Lewiston.
Mrs. Clyde nominated Mrs. Standrod.
Mrs. H. T. French was nominated.
Mrs. F. A Pettinger and Mrs. S. H.
Hays alternates"
Section 3 of the general federation
by laws reads,
Each state or territorial fedora
ton of twenty five clubs or less shall
be entitled to be represented by four
delegates. Each state or territorial
federation shall be entitled to one
additional delegate for every addi-
tional twenty five clubs.
The minimum representation from
local declarations of ten clubs or less
shall be two delegates. Each local
federation of more than ten clubs
shall be entitled to one additional
delegate for every additional twenty
clubs.
An alternate shall be elected for
ea III delegate.
Section 4. Members of clubs be-
longing to the General Federation
may be present at Biennial conven-
tons, may take part in discussions
uron all measures brought forward,
but, unless otherwise entitled, shall
not introduce motions or vote"

A SUGGESTION IN CIVICS

line COurant-
Arbor day will soon be celebrated
in the Southern states, and only ;
few weeks hence in the North.
The universal object of this on,
"tree day" should be to plant. Lee
every club note how the schools o.
their community observed Arbor Day
last year. Was it by planting shrubs
vines and trees in barren places, OF
only by reciting verses and singing
songs? The fundamental spirit Of
this one day in the year, should be
to plant. Are your schools doing it:
Suggest that one dozen trees be
planted by school, on barren
street or roadway, AMI then be cared
for by the school. We go through
life acknowledging 1t is more blessed
to give than to receive; and can you
think of better small gift to poster
,ity than the joy of beautiful tree
Let every club secure the planting OF
six trees on Arbor Day, and care for
them until growth is assured. Will
your club do it?
The Civic club of Philadelphia is
one of the strongest civic organiza-
lions in the United States. Mrs. Oman
Wister, chairman of the Civic COM
mittee is also State Chairman of
Civics. She has sent out the follow
ing pertinent questions:
Is your town clean?
Are your front yards attractive and
your back yards orderly?
Are there tomato cans and rubbish
on your streets?
Are you planting trees and vines
to insure beauty and retain the moist
ure in the soil?
If your drinking water wholesome,
or is there tendency towards ty-
phoid and other dread diseases, which
remain unchecked?
Is our street lighting furnished at
a moderate cost?
Are your schools modern, and the
curriculum sensible, and the teach
ers we'll paid?
Are your firemen and policemen
appointed on their merits?
Do your citizens like to see the
best men in office or do they some
times incline to the inefficient?
And do your best men sometimes
say they have no time for civic du-
ties?
Do the women of your town so ar
range their time that they have leis-
lre to read together about civic i'm
and educational uues-
ions, or are they inclined to give too
much time to trifling occupations?
Are the young girls growing up to
value and participate in the house
lold arts, or are they inclined to
brow everything they think disagree
lble upon their mothers?
Are you exercising vigilance in
leeping out any unwholesome moral
Influences which may lower the tone
# the growing manhood and woman
lood in your midst?
All these questions are civic uues-
ions, and should be asked and an
wered by every woman. They are not
uestions of greater Importance to
he woman of leisure than to the
'age-earner and woman of many
ares.

THE LOCAL BIENNIAL BOARD

The Courant-
The clubs belonging to the Genera
Federation in the Southwest District
of Ohio, the hostesses of the Biennia
of 1910, are full of energy and en-
thusiasm in preparation for the com
ing of our guests next May.
Through the desire of the loca

to cooperation, Biennial Committee
of four was appointed from the state
Mrs. Gov. Harmon of Columbus, Mrs
Weaver of Mansfield, Mrs. Kumler OF
Dayton and Mrs. Breckenridge of To.
ledo with the State President as chair
man.
Through the courtesy of the Gener-
al Federation and the Local Biennial
Board two days preliminary to the
opening of the Convention have been
given to the state for their entertain
ments.
The official and formal opening of
the Biennial takes place in Music
Hall, Wednesday evening, May 18th.
The Program Committee of the Cen
eral Federation and the Program
Committee of the Local Board will
make, later, important announce
ments.
Geographically we have unusual
advantages for Biennial location,
not alone being club center between
the north and south, east and west,
but Cincinnati is near the border line
of Kentucky and Indiana, and Reel
procity committee has been appoin-
ted, Mrs. Boyd of Covington and Mrs.
Earle of Connersville representing the
two states.

THE AWARD OF THE ENGLISH
SCHOLARSHIP

The Courant-
Miss Julia Stuart Points, of New
York, has been awarded the English
Scholarship of the General Fedora.
ton of Women's clubs. This is the
first scholarship ever granted to an
American woman under the exact
form of competition by which the
Rhodes scholars are chosen from
among our American men.
While the officers of the Rhodes
Trust were generous enough to ex-
anime the candidates for the Fedora
ton scholarship, yet they have no
responsibility for the scrutiny of the
final credentials which determine the
so-called highest promise of distinc-
ton" among those candidates who
have successfully passed the qualify
ing examinations.
Eight candidates entered for the
'competition;-siX of these women
took the full examinations-one each
from the states of Alabama, Califor-
mia, Iowa, Minnesota, New York,
Ohio.
While Miss Points has clearly won
her supremacy, and thereby received
an award of $500 for years study
in England for the coming academic
year of 1910-1911, yet she has an
able second in the candidate from
Ohio, Miss Mary Treudley of Athens,
graduate of Ohio University in the
class of 1906 and at present a gradu-
ate student in the University of Chi
cago. The third in standing, who al
SO deserves recognition for her attain
ment in the examinations, is Miss
Lillian Matherson Lotspeich, of the
University of Alabama. The COM
petition has genuinely proved to be
a national one, as these facts show.
Miss Points, the successful candi-
date, was born in Nebraska in 1885,
fitted for college in the public schools !
Of Jersey City, graduated from Barn
ard college in 1907, worked for two
years under United States Commits

DINNER IN RELAYS.

Two men who are well known in
New York City as the proprietors Of
an old-fashioned hotel set a new
fashion in progressive dinners the
other night. They entertained a
party of guests at a different hotel
for each course of the dinner. Be
ginning at their own hotel, the hosts
provided the oysters, the party sit
ting down at a fully laid table. As
soon as the bivalves were disposed
of the party took two taxicabs and
went to the next hotel on the list for
soup. A waiter telephoned to the
next stopping place, SO that there
was no delay So it went, through
all the courses to coffee and liqueurs.

QUEER MISTAKES IN SIGNS
Both In Spelling and Misuse Of Words
the Errors Border on the
Ludicrous.

Ignorance of foreign languages is
the cause of curious misuse Of
words, as may be noted in many in
stances. Grocery stores again and
again display signs which contain
these mistakes. In one store recent
ly at the delicatessen counter was
displayed a sign which read "From-
age de Brie cheese" The maker of
the sign did not know that ''from-
age" means "cheese," and his sign
should have read simply "Fromage
de Brie" or ''Brie cheese" In this
same line was the sign in another
store, which invited customers to
purchase "Petit pois peas" "Pois"
is the French for 'peas," but the
clerk in his ignorance had copied the
label and added the name from what

her beliefs in this season Of multitu-

for the first time.
The ornament is made OF fine,
flexible horsehair so skillfully ar
ranged that it is almost impossible
for the uninitiated to detect that 1t
is not pulled from the living bird.
Besides its more humanitarian adj

added virtue Of not breaking in the

Childish Occupant of Persia's Peacock

In great yellow palacein Teheran
small boy sits on a peacock throne.
He is a very unhappy little boy, and
when they put him on the throne he
cried as though his heart would
break. His people call him King of
Kings, for short, for he has so many
names and titles that it would take
a strong man from breakfast until
tifin to repeat them. And the
throne on which he sits is shaky;
yes, rickety, in fact.
Bat one Of these days he will not
have any throne at all, and will have
to content himself with a cane-bot-
toned chair, or more probably a
divan, for certain very much older
persons in London and st. Peters

to cut his country into portions,
very much as a pastry-cook cuts pie.
