Nashville. Tenn.-The session of the
woman's convention, auxiliary to the
national Baptist convention recently
held here, was the biggest and best in
the history Of the organization. No
organization of women is raising as
much money and doing so much real
work as this organization. Miss Nan
ME II. Burroughs is the executive sec
retary and to her is given the credit
for the best Jubilee anniversary held
this year. The souvenir printed pro-
gram is Il gem. 1t is attractive and
unique, brimful of facts touching the
achievements of the race in this coun-
try.
Her unique arrangement in pyramid

has called forth great praise. The
Jubilee badge was another device that
showed the clever work of master
mind Ii, too. contained facts touching
achiere4nents of the race. \ great
poster called Triumphant Trudging'
showed the progress of Baptists in
every state since the first church was
started near Savannah, Ga. The state
buttons told the number of Baptists in
the state.
Miss Burroughs annual report show
ed real achievement. The frank, clear.
practical discussion of all the big prob
lens stamps the woman most capable
for the great work TO which she was
elected for the twelfth time by accla-
nation amid cheers and waving of
handkerchiefs. Everybody ought to
have one OF these valuable programs
for his library and one of the reports
as textbook on social problems now
to be solved. But the biggest achieve
ment was the getting out of the jubilee
message-a brand new song book con-
tanning go brand new selections.
Two songs. I'VE Have Fought Every
Races Battles but Our Own and THE
Prophecy" were written by Miss Bur-
roughs The former is destined to be-
come as popular among us as Dixie
and America are among the whites
of our country. The book also con
tains ten of the best jubilee songs.
The music Mt the convention was the
best ever heard in any great religious
gathering. The woman's convention
raised over $4,000 during the year and
about $4,000 NJ the Nashville meeting.
Great men and women came from
every section of the country to deliver
addresses. to pledge themselves anew
to cooperation in the work OF uplift-
ing our people.
This meeting was not given UP to
making big speeches without laying
big plans. The women are going to
build q memorial arch at the entrance
to their training school in Washington
They are to erect a $4,000 building on
the grounds to meet the demands Of
this growing institution. The girls
from the training school covered them
selves with glory. Every feature Of

rection of Mrs. Emma l.. Cabaniss.
was great success.
Mrs. Eva Hicks and Mrs. Eva Hoop
er OF Chicago had charge of the sup
plies. and no women worked harder
for the success of the big meeting
than they. Miss Geneva T.. Staulz and
Miss Ophelia Porter, sweet singers con
nected with the school. gave unusual
service aud ingratiated themselves into
the hearts of the thousands who heard
them sing and saw them cooperating
in the work OF the convention.
Mrs. NJ. n. Gilmore of South Caro-
lima won the jubilee medal for the
best field work in her state during the
year. Miss NJ. Helen Adams. the So
cial worker who has been doing slum
work in Glasgow. Scotland. for four
teen Years. is to take up work under
the auspices of the convention and
conduct a center in Washington. The
women are certainly planning great
things, and then they are pushing the
plans. The center opens Oct 10 and
has a great field and. we believe. a
great future.

Washington.-A situation has arisen
in the social life of official Washing
ton, which, besides dividing the wom-
en- of the Democratic administration
into at least two distinct circles,
threatens to reflect itself upon the re-
lations existing between the house of
representatives and the members of
the cabinet. Last spring wives of the
cabinet officers, shortly after President
Wilson had selected his official family,
determined that their social obliga-
lions were so taxing they they would
be unable to make the calls which off,
cial etiquette prescribed upon the
wives of members of the house. The
winter season is about to pen with
its series of functions and calls, and
ladies of the house are meeting to dis
cuss this act Of the cabinet women
which they are prone to regard as
social affront.
