DR.. Robert J. Burdette was the
speaker at the Cosmos club meeting
Yesterday afternoon. His subject,
Jack the Giant Killer" proved to be
an interesting one, as he handled 1t
with reference to the many giants OF
present day life.
1.-THE giants of olden times were soon
killed off" said the speaker, but AT
present one must meet and conquer
giants Of a different sort. These are
the worries, both big and little, which
beset every day life and the best
giant killer of these days is that
one known as 'Commonsense.'
Political, religious and economic
difficulties DR.. Burdette characterized
as the great giants Of our times and
he suggested that club women, through
their effective organization, may do
much to bring about the complete sub
iugation of these enemies to mankind.
Mrs. Fred A. Stephenson sang an
aria from "The Barber of Seville
by Rossini, and for an encore, THE
Summer Night" by T8homas. Mrs.
George Simpson was at the piano.
The resignation Of Mrs. p w earn
as secretary was read and accepted
with regret by the members OF the
club, and notice of the vacancy was
given The election of a successor for
