Of the land are about TO decide upon the
exact method of presenting this matter or
the laurel TO the people and to Congress.
Their representatives will meet at the Ma

The Art Department Of the State of New

pointed a committee, which is headed by
Mrs. Frank Amber Pattison, of Colonia,
y. J., with Mrs. William Cumming Story,
Of New York, and Mrs. Edward F. Tomp-
kins, of East Haven, Conn, as first and
second assistants The presidents of thirty
eight state federations Of womens clubs

was the consensus OF opinion that Uncle
Sam must have his laurel right away. The

land rage at the idea Of having the daisy
for the national flower. and there would
no longer be danger Of secession by those
states which hate the golden rod. The col
umbine is too frail and the Beauty too ex-
pensve for the whole nation TO accept it
as an emblem.
But there is nothing to be said against
and everything TO be said for the laurel,
the women argue. Henry Turner Bailey
put the case for the mountain laurel into
compact form at the 1910 biennial and his
arguments were voted irrefutable.
THE laurel" he said. grows In every
one of the original thirteen states and can
be made TO grow in every state of the
union. II has historic associations and has
long been the symbol Of victory Like lib

All these arguments will be presented by
Mr. Bailey at the conference next week
