SOLVING SMOKE PROBLEM
School Board Believes Smoke Nuis-
ance Can Soon be Abated at High
School Building.

After series of experiments, among
which was the employment of an eX-
pert fireman and change in the grade
of coal burned. the school board of
the city schools believes that hereafter
there will be no cause for complaint
relative to the smoke nuisance in the
vicinity of the high school building.
Early in the year the heavy smoke
from the flues of the high school
building was the source of no little
trouble to residents of that section,
finding its way into parlors, dining
rooms and kitchens with apparent
ease.
1t was found, it is said, upon inves-
tigation that the fiues in the heating
plant were not properly cleaned, the
SCOT being allowed to escape through
the chimneys instead of being carried
out the back door and that the grade
of coal that was being burned was
to much dirt and little heat.

GRAFTON OF WOMEN'S
Clubs.

and Societies in Idaho Win Send
Delegates.

To the club women the country
over (and there are at least a million

! be the Biennial convention of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs to
| be held in Chicago, June Is, 1914
Thousands of women will attend Dur
ing these next months the various
clubs in all the states will elect dele
gates, and it is expected that many
sent at the sessions of what will un-
doubtedly be the greatest federation
meeting ever held.
Chicago was selected as the scene
of the convention in preference to San
Francisco and other candidates be-
cause of its superior advantages in
accommodation financial support, and
central location. The Association of
Commerce of Chacago is pledged to
meet half the expenses of the Bien-
nial. The auditorium, in which all gen.
eral meetings will take place, will
seat 1000 persons. The Auditorium
hotel adjoining provides ample quar-
ters for the necessary committee and
rest rooms For the departmental and
state sessions, suitable halls have
been engaged.

of such vast numbers,
TO arrange program that will satisfy
all and yet not be too crowded, and
to conduct the meetings in fashion
so systematic as to accomplish the
great volume of work blocked out, re- |
luires generalship, vision, judgment.
and executive ability Of very high or
Ter. These important functions are
to the officers of the General |

local board. All of these women have |
had great experience i'll several fields |
and are accustomed to important posi- |
lions. to handling crowds, and to get
ing things done smoothly and quick |
". The careful organization of the |
ocal board will insure the proper dis
of responsibility and author
ty. Nothing will be left to chance,
)ut every detail has already been
worked out.
The federation officers have rigidlly
excluded the usual superfluity of adj
lresses of welcome. Only the one
,reat reception-that at the Art In
be given. The Chicago
symphony orchestra will give con-
ert on one evening, and Miss Jane
Addams will address the convention
N the following night.
The local board has wisely decided
lpon the use of bulletin boards to
AXE the place of announcements from
he platform, thereby saving time and
atience for the audience.
The president of the General FEEDER
tion, Mrs. Pennypacker, is now send
ng messages to all the clubs urging
