.ca and New South Wales. Canada, Alaska and the Canal Zone. France, Germany. Holland, Austria and Swift zerland have clubs of native Ameri- can women, while in Dresden, Hano- yer. Wiesbaden, Halle and Stettin are clubs more on the settlement plan. Since the initial meeting in 1889 the work of the general fedora tion has continuously broadened. The first object Of women's clubs seemed lf-culture. but as this self-cultural work was carried forward the desire to help others grew and grew. the work becoming more and more altru istic in it's aims There have been distinctive periods of advance. Eiu- cation has ever been of great mo ment to mothers and it needed slight suggestion to start parent-teachers associations and interest was aroused in the questions of school sanitation and curriculum. followed by the desire for school suffrage and the placing of women on school boards.
 Since the organization of the gen eral federation biennial conventions have been held, the first being in Chicago and lasting but two days; lasted seven days; the third was held in Louisville in 1896. where the slogan was Scientific Knowledge of Educational Principles" The ind- vidual woman always the natural housekeeper, began to feel that the collective woman might be the mu- nicipal housekeeper. that she might work beyond the four walls of her own home for the benefit of many homeless ones Benefit for women and children has ever been one of the strong features of general fed eration work and the clubs have been potent in influencing child la hor ard factory laws and their con comitant compulsory attendance laws. They have sought also the betterment of industrial conditions and the establishment of manual training and domestic science in the schools. They became interested, too in the question of the supply of clean food. and food sanitation has become a prominent division of the home economies department. As vital questions have come before the people of the country the influence Of the club woman has been felt on the side of progress and improve ment and. feeling the potency of or ganzation and systematiZation. there have been developed eleven de- partments of work in the general federation. these being art, civics, civil service reform conservation, education, household economics. in Gustrial and social conditions legis- letion literature and library eXten- sion, music and public health.

OF LOCAL CLUBS BY A VISITING CLUB
 WOMAN"
(By MRS. C. 0. ANDERSON

The fame of tiIe Woman's club of Phoenix reached me in away Washington. long before my return to Arizona three years ago. A prominent club woman of Spokane. who had passed winter in Arizona spoke in glowing terms of the work of the Phoenix women, and said: T viisted the Woman's club and was present at the cornerstone laying of their beautiful new building, and from my observations l concluded that the women of Phoenix had the right idea of club work. This was cheering information to me. since I knew I was to return to Arizona, and having become interested in federation work in the northwest, it meant a great deal to me to know that club work flOurished in Phoenix
 An ardent desire to know some thing of the work of this section. which was then formed, was partly gratifled two years ago when the Womans club was hostess to the Arizona Federation of Womens s clubs. and l was a delegate from Wilcox l had previously attended Washington state federations in both Seattle and Walla Walla, but the Phoenix convention was the only one to be held in d womans club house.
 It was not, however, until this winter that the long hoped for and unusual experience of spending ! winter in Phoenix and being visit ing member came to me highly prized complimentary season ticket from the Woman's club which I re- ceived early in the year admitted me to their meetings, and I shall have to confess that the attraction was so strong that I found myself going with the regularity of a resi- dent member
 During the winter I also had the pleasure of visiting the Tempe Woman's club. Orangewood Social and Improvement club. Harmony club and Ramona Woman's club. While at the convention of Arizona Federation of Womens Clubs, which met in Nogales this winter. l heard the splendid reports of all federated clubs of this section and was much impressed with the power they ex- ercised in state affairs.
 The club spirit is very much in evidence in this part of Arizona. New clubs are constantly being formed while older ones are seeking new channels of service. Here we find clubs in all stages of develop ment from the second oldest in the state to the one of few weeks old /: from the large department club to the small study club. but the beau tiful federation spirit working through all is truly touching life with an upward impulse

 work: they recognized the persistent conservative efforts of the general fe iteration toward right ends. they realized the power of organized, in | telligent women, and asked assist ance: they placed the president of the federation on their governing boards. and the chairmen of depart ments on their special committees: they were interested in one particu- lar phase. where the federation was interested in many touching the con ditions of women and children.

Mason City. Jan. 14.-As a result Of
the Power street riot of Wednesday
night, Jan. Z, and the murder Of Yefte
Radovich and the stabbing Of Joe
Vocovich, three Austrians are held
with bail fixed at $4,000 each, three as
witnesses under $1,000 bonds and one
for carrying concealed weapons in the
sum of 5000. Those held for murder
are John Enrich, Mike Dozel and Henry
Sero Joe Sornevich, Lazo Zurich and
Esau Vokovich, the latter an Austrian
who tried to shield the murdered boy,
are held as important witnesses, and
George Dom for carrying concealed
weapons
1t appears that Yefte Radovich, who
was killed, and Joe Vocovich, the one
stabbed, were Montenegrins, and the
men who led the assault and riot were
Austrians, and since the opening of :he
Balkan war there has been race
prejudice and on several occasions this
has run high. The bonds Of those ac-
cused of murder are placed SO high
that there is no probability of them
getting out. Court will convene on
Monday, JAM 26, and 1t is probable that
the case will be reached during that
term, altho there is one murder trial in
