have a central idea, people to express

ton at all times being an essential
quality.
Miss Louise Connolly treated the
question or essay writing In a numor-
Gus vein and at the same time evolved
from her humor many splendid hints
at the manner in which the clubwoman
should undertake her task. After
choosing a subject, she declared, the
mind must be- saturated with it and
assimilation be allowed to proceed be-
fore attempting to transfer ideas to
paper. Fill up outside of books first.

IA CLUBS1y
ong Ve.~

A NNOUNCEME-jT was lad at
~ the last meeting of the New Jer-
sey State Federation of Women's
Clubs by the president. Mrs. Frank
Amber Pattison. that the Thursday
Morning Club of Madison had under
taken some special work for the fed
Grafton in connection with the public
schools. A legislative committee was
appointed in the Thursday Morning
Club to carry on the work, with the
understanding that this club would
have the backing of the federation
committee on education and of the in
dividual clubs. After the committee
had investigated the school franchise
in a number of the States 1t had two
bills, or resolutions, drawn up by a
prominent New Jersey lawyer.
The first resolution calls for a n
stitutional amendment giving women
the right to vote for members of school
boards. AS this would not benefit the
towns where the boards are appointed,
a second, or concurrent, resolution "a
drawn, providing where boards are ap-
pointive for the appointment of a due
proportion of women. The chairman
of the committee, with Mrs. Pattison
and Mrs. ellison. had an interview with
Governor Wilson recently, In which he
said he was much in favor of the idea,
but thought the resolutions should by
courtesy be presented first to the Sen
ate commission, of which Senator
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen is chairman,
to investigate the public schools.
The resolutions were, accordingly,
sent to Senator Frelinghuysen, and a
hearing was given to the committee.
IT is not known what action the
committee will take from this hearing.
At that time it did not seem possible
to reach the different clubs, as the
commission seemed about ready to re-
port. The chairman a since learned
that there will still be a week or two
before they are ready, which will give
the different clubs time to act.
The chairman requests that each club
will send a letter as Don as possible
to Senator Frelinghuysen, at Trenton,
expressing the hope that the commits
sion of which he Is chairman will re-
port favorably the two resolutions Of
fered by the State Federation of
Women's Cubs through the Thursday
Morning Club of Madison.

THOMAS DIXON TO APPEAR HERE
Will Be in the Leading Role of "The
Sins of The Father"

: Thomas Dixon, author of THE CLANS
man." has written a new play, THE
Sins of the Father" in which he will
himself appear at the Auditorium next
Thursday night, March o.
This is Mr.. Dixon's first visit to Ok
lahoma in many years. He has ieaped
from the Baptist pulpit to he foot-
lights, and is drawing capacity aud!.
ences as a theatrical "star.
"The Clansman" was historical
"The Sins of the Father is contem-
porary. THE Clansman" get forth tie
achievements of the Ku Klux IIlan.
'The Sins of the Father shows the
threat of negro domination within the
home
In "The Sins of the Father Thomas
Dixon presents the ruin that threaten
ed to overwhelm a southern household
from the mixture of races. A beauti-
full young girl, ward of Major Daniel
Norton. fiancee of his son Tom, is sus-
pected of being a sixteenth blood
negress.
But the boy refuses to believe the
story despite the strong evidence that
supports it. He defies the father and
prepares to marry Helen. The majors
position is a terrible one. AS the
Header of the white forces, he has won
a strenuous state campaign for negro
disfranchisement. He returns to find
Inegroid mongrelism triumphant in mis-
own home.
Out of the interplay of these three
characters-father, son and hapless
girl-Mr. Dixon has fashioned a tre-
mendous dramatic struggle The de-
nouncement is as unexpected as the
complications are startling. And re
lieving the pathos and tragedy -are
delightful pictures of the lighter side
of southern life, the fun and love af-
fairs of the humber folk, the tllieving,
capering Andy, and the joyful, over
whelming Minerva.
Extraordinary interest is manifest
ed in the announcement that Mr.
Dixon himself will be seen in the prin-
cipal role of his latest and greatest
play.
