their misfortune as the result of an
error in previous existence. such as
breaking their promise to we'd or be-

Such lovers believe that If they bind
themselves together with an under

The Arizona Federation of WOm- ems clubs refused to go on record as opposed to capital punishment When reported by the committee on resolutions ii was decided that this was virtually a political question and with but a brief discussion ii was laid on the table unanimously In taking this action the Arizona Federation followed the precedent established by the general federation in not letting politics enter into the club program. AS announced in The Republican the resolution asking that an Orphans Home be provided came before the meeting and that with several other recommendations will be brought before this session of the legislature The club women en- dOrsed strict censorship of mo- tion pictures and the elimination of vaudeville from the motion picture uheater The conservation of all na- tural resources was another endorse ment The organization went on re- cord as favOring the appointment of women to positions of authority where women and children are con- fined or segregated. The legislature will be asked to appoint a woman as assistant physician in the asylum. Tn declaring themselves opposed to the destruction of birds beneficial to humanity they agreed to go one step further and only ostrich feathers will adorn their hats in the future, the holding plumes taking the place Of other ornithologioal speciments.
