What club women of the country are doing for the advancement of art was made clear at the art conference of the General Federation. Members of the art committee reported brief ly on the success in exploiting the work of American painters and stim- ulating interest through the public
 The great need of such efforts was shown in the statement of Mrs. How ard T Wilson, of the Illinois com mittee. that one of the biggest of ten purchases in Paris this year was the work of an American painter and although the canvas gained toI him wide renoWn abroad, he was practically unknown in this country using this instance as a basis fol her remarks, Mrs. Wilson asserted the Americans must become better acquainted with their own masters and their work as well.
 Incidentally she said, we must also become more generous in our patronage and appreciation of art The best beginning is with children who should be taught during thei1 impressionistic period, and schools and all institutions of learning should not deny the young the opportunity of at least getting a fair knowledge of the subject"
 Mrs Willson asserted that the most effective measures yet adopted for promoting art were found in the travelling galleries of the federation and she told of the success accom- plished with Dr. Minnie Howard, oi Idaho. and Mrs. Anna R. Mover, of Nebraska, in collecting pictures and planning such exhibitions in many cities

FOR G0vERNMEN7-oWNED TELEdRApHs.

m SOMEWHAT startling announcement is made by Postmas-
terGeneral Hitchcock that he will recommend to Congress
the purchase by the government of all the telegraph lines,
to be run in connection with the postofice. He finds that there is
an old statute that permits the taking over of these lines by the
government. The cost is estimated at between $500 900 900 and
$600,O00000 PostmasterG General Wanamaker, when in Office,
Hooked favorablv upon government ownership of the telegraph on
the theory that il was legitimately a branch of the postal service
and with the vast plant of the postoffce department could be
operated economically and successfully TO make it profitable to the
government. In European countries the telegraph is government
owned. The telegraph system in England belongs to the govern
Inent. Mr.. Hitchcocks recommendation is, therefore, not as radical
as it looks. The question is how government ownership in this
country can work. The postoice department always showed a big
annual deficit until the present time. a private corporation opera
ing It would earn big dividends.
