women are to play in our coming ex- 1 position is no small part We-the president of the department and her most active, energetic and enthusiast | O-Workers-realize that we have much ! to do in perfecting the rather ambi- | tiOus program that we have laid out | for ourselves. We already have done
 much: we hope to be able to do much
 more and feel that we shall do so. In short, it is the desire and inten- | tion of the woman's department of the National Conservation to make our | department distinctive, attractive and useful.
 Perhaps I can not do better than to call attention of women to some of the specific things on our program: to call to their attention some of the things planned and some of the things already well under way
 Conservation of human life is the greatest of all conservation work Therefore, we are going to have a Red Cross day during the exposition. We are going to show in various ways how this precious human life may best be conserved. Miss Mabel Boardman, president of the American Red Cross
 Association. will be with us. and during her visit to the exposition there will be
 held a miners field day, at which time the United States government will
 show graphically just what is being
 done for those men who work below the surface of the ground. The United
 States government will show what steps have been taken to prevent re-
 Currences of terrible mine disa and
 len 11nC Ctf ta Tire 7
 injured b. team work of the mines,
 under Red Cross instruction.
 We are going tD lave . peace day
 under the. auspices of the wcman's de partment, and have assurances that we will have more than one man of
 national prominence in Knoxville for peace day. The underlying idea for this day is, of course. the conservation of life that will come when We have 2 universal peace and no more terrible wars that bring so much suffering so many heartaches, so much travail to women.
 We have under way plan to exhibit all of the industrial arts which are par ticularly interesting to women: to show the restoration and conservation of the old arts and progress that is being made in all lines pertaining to the arts and crafts
 A committee has in charge the gath ering and exhibiting of matters per taining to history. The South, with it's historic associations, is rich in these things, and we already are assured of a fine exhibit of historical relics and col lections; thus showing the conServa- ton of history for the sake of the younger and future generations.
 The term home economies" is broad one. IL signifies much: it em- braces much: it means much. Nowhere in the world, l venture to say. is there greater need for conservation than right in the homes of every one of tqlr people. WOman's work is hard. The one who said. it is never done" spoke. rightly. Much energy is wasted in the homes of a great majority of our peo- pie.
 There is endless drudgery in the home, and this drudgery means brok- endoWn women, women of impaired health, women old before their time. women, consequently. who lose inter est in life.
 And so the basic idea of the domes- tie science exhibit will be to teach the conservation of energy in the home, not only by means of labor saving de- vices, but by simple expedients Through the conservation of energy in the home we are conserving happiness there. So we are endeaVorng to make this department of home economies one Of the most interesting and most help tul of all our departments"
