situation now chiefly centres.
The dry goods trade In its various
branches. both cotton and wool, is
quiet. with purchases still made for
immediate necessities only, and yet
there is a better tone TO the market,

knowledge that the trade as a whole
is. by reason of the drastic curtail-
ment in production. in a strong posi-
tion TO avail itself quickly of a turn

!
told of the efforts of the year in en-
deavoring to improve unsanitary sec
tions and conditions and to spread the
knowledge of how to prevent the in
ception and spread of disease among
those who are both careless and ignor-
ant of these matters. A great deal
of practical good had been accom-
plished throughout the State, and the
committee willingly worked with the
Health Boards in order to secure real
betterment.
Mrs. Jesse Shepherd, chairman of
the Household Economics Committee
reported that literature and lectures.
on this important home subject had
been given during the year and the
interest aroused among the women in
the homes, many of whom were not

Bryn Mawr addressed the meeting.
May Change Constitution.
The changing of the constitution of
the Federation in so far as it relates
to the election of a General Fedora
tion Secretary was discussed and is
being agitated. The General Fedora
tion of Womens Clubs has requested
that the secretary selected to repre-
sent each State Federation should be
an ex-president. The Federation is
anxious to comply with this since the
expenses of this Office are betrayed by
the General Federation and it was
suggested that in the future this pre-
cedent should be established.
At eight O'Clock in the evening the
session was opened by a charming
duet by Mrs. Messick and Mrs. Fred

The Auditor entered on the duties
Of his Office with the highest and best
motives to raise the Office to the dig
nifty and sphere of usefulness which
was intended by reason of the crea-

purpose of having the city's affairs
conducted for the best interests of
the public, believing that "he serves
his party best who serves the public
best" intending thereby to reflect
credit on the city, on the party through
whose influence he was appointed, and
on himself. The Auditor is not con-
scious of ever having swerved from
that fixed determination to help give
the people a good business admin
istration of their affairs.
With these explanations. the Audi
tor is entirely willing that you shall
