Federation OF women's Clubs,

The Dallas News has been a
friend and aid to the Federation of
Women's Clubs, always commend
ing them for their achievements and
giving them space, advertising, etc.
Sundays edition contained the for
lowing editorial with reference u
their educational endowment fund;
Well, we should think that those
who have made only a cursory note
OF the work that has been done by
the Federation Of Women's Clubs
whether men, or women who are not
members, must feel that it is both a
duty and a privilege to contribute
the mite which, if all of these kinds
should give, would be more than
sufficient to make up the amount
desired. All society is the benefici-
airy of the work being done by the
Federation of Women's clubs, and
if there is any such thing in reality
as a debt of gratitude, this is truly
one Of them. It would take up
good deal of space even to list the
multftudinous and muItifarious en-
deyors of the federation. 1t casts
rays of light into homes more or
less benighted by ignorance of the
ways Of home-making and child
rearing, and is peculiarly successful
in winning acceptance for sugges-
tions which, if coming from any
other source and in any other way, /
WOULD be rejected with resentment /
For whatever sanitary progress we I
have made, for whatever advance I
We have made against food poison
ars, society owes much to the Fed
grafton of Womens Clubs, if not
more to it than any other single
orce. Nor it is concerned only with (
material interests. Education owes [
t much, more than is appreciated. c
he growing sentiment against c
hid labor has been engendered a
hiefly by the Federation 1t has f
.imulated interest among women in
terature and art. It is one of the
ost tremendous forces for good in
lis country. accomplishing much

rces the added strength that has "

ntests that have been credited to al
her organizations. The whole OF
society has reason to wish the a
