MUCH INTEREST IN
 FEDERATION MEETING
(Continued from First Page.)

and and civic sessions were postponed until this morning. An address of unusual interest was read by Mrs. T. T. Gotham of Little Rock on the sub ject of Municipal Art" Mrs. Gotham deplored the lack of the aesthetic in our municipal development and arch lecture and made a strong plea for a place for art in the building of cities. She said the worlds fair at Chicago gave America the first insight into the city beautiful and drew a beautiful word-picture of the magnificent plan of this exposition. She also urged that the old state capitol be preserv- ed and that the blocks facing the new state capitol be purchased by the state and made into beautiful park. Mrs. Cotnam's charming manner of read ing delighted the convention almost as much as her paper and she re- sponded to an invitation to read a hu- morous story in negro dialect.
 Balloting for nominations for the officers of the ensuing year was be- gun immediately after adjournment yesterday afternoon. The system of electing officers is one peculiar to the Federation. Each delegate writes on a ballot prepared for the purpose her choice for the positions of president, first and second vice presidents, re- cording secretary, federation secre- tary, treasurer and auditor, the nom- nations being made this way instead by the usual convention nominating speech. The two nominees for each office who have the highest number of nominating votes are then brought be- fore the Federation to be voted on. The election will be held Thursday morning.
 The nominations are incharge of Mrs. J. o. Blakney of Searcy and Misses Nellie Randell and Dellia Pence of Conway as tellers; Mrs. w. E. Massey of Hot Springs as inspec- tor, Miss Margaret Wood of Van Blu ren as secretary, and Mrs. J. w. Rog- CTS of Rogers as registrar.
 Following the close of yesterday af- ternoon's session, a delightful recep- tion was rendered the delegates and visitors at the State Normal school. The affair was informal and was giv- en for the double purpose of showing the delegates with the work of the states new Normal school. President and Mrs. J. J. Doyne were assisted in receiving by the members of the fac ulty and six young ladies served punch, while half dozen of the young men students escorted the visitors ov CT the building and grounds. During the course of the reception the judges viewed the art exhibits and their re- port will be submitted to the Fedora tion tomorrow.
 Edward Box, editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, was vigorously scored for his attacks on club women, at last nights session, the club presidents evening.
 In recent issue of that journal the editor charged that the average wom- ans club had accomplished nothing for the good of humanity in general and published the following series of questions by way of proving his point:
 1. What has the average woman's club done on the insistence by the par ent of clearer understanding of self, sex and life in the mind of the child?
 2. What has the average woman's club done to agitate or prevent the needless blindness of 33 per cent of little blind babies?
 3. What has been done by the av- craze woman's club toward the curse that is sending 80 per cent of the women of today to the operating ta- ble?
 l. What has the average woman , club done toward the abolishment of the public drinking cup in the cars, parks, stores, etc?
 ,. Where has there been an insist ence on laws that will prohibit the exposure of candies in store or on the streets?
 6. What has the average woman S club done toward the repression in newspapers of indecent advertise ments relating to private diseases, quack nostrums, dangerous beauty remedies for the skin and hair?
