''Club Work Is True
Religion, Declares
Mrs. P. V. Pennybacker
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 11.-Declaring her
belief that club work is true re-
ligion," and proposing that the fed
Grafton join in an earnest campaign
for the betterment of rural life, Mrs.
Percy V. Pennybacker, president of
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, to-day addressed the biennial
convention of the General Federation.
She asked that the federation work
be widened by being presented before
other organizations; by conferences at
State Federations and primarily by in
dividual effort.
Let us call for volunteers" said
Mrs. Pennybacker, "to carry the gos-
pei of the general federation work to
every individual club at least once a
year. l would not hesitate to ask
these women to offer their services in
the highest missionary spirit, for ver-
lily the message they will bring is
often times of religious nature"
IF you could hear as I have heard
stories of how sick babies had been
saved, of how women to whom every
door of life was closed have had their
lives made full of hope and courage;
of how these hungering in spirit have
been comforted and refreshed you
would not feel that have overstated
the matter when I claim that club
work is true religion"

TACT that the House committee post
poned until July l action of a special
rule to provide for immediate con-
sideration of Representative Hobson's S
resolution, for national prohibition
through an amendment to the Federal
Constitution, prohibition continued
to-day to be lively topic of discus
sion in Congressional circles. Precipi-

aroused keener interest at the Capitol
than In any other question that has
come up there in a long while.
While the committee has deferred
consideration of the rule, definite as
surances have been given by commit
tee members that they would con-
slider and probably favorably report
the resolution providing for a special
rule in July. In some quarters it was
asserted that the postponement meant
that no action would be taken during
the present session. 1t was confident
ly predicted at the Capitol to-day,
however, that the House would be
forced to vote on national prohibition
within four or five weeks. .5s-

casts that his resolution would come
before the House for. action on July 6
or Z. In the event the resolution is
not passed he announced it would
again be brought up when Congress
reconvenes next winter.
Chairman Henry of the rules COM
m1ttee planned to leave here to-day
for two weeks visit in Texas. No
hearings, it was stated will be held
by the committee on the special rule.

Special TO The Telegraph

York, Pa. June 11.-Wielding their
willows in the eighth inning yesterday,
Cockill's crew annexed enough runs
to put the game with York in cold
storage. The final score was IL to 4.
One battle-scarred veteran twirler,
Lefty" Lloyd. was the victim.
Newport's contribution to the Tri-
State showed nothing in the first in
ming. After handing Wertz a ticket to
Harrisburg, Phillips was called in and
the Senator's chances frightened up
each inning. Harrisburg sewed UP the
game in the third and then went to
work with their big sticks. Five runs
were scored by the Senators in the
eighth period. Lloyd gave two free
passes to first base and Keyes sacri-
feed. Mccarthy scored on Christs
sacrifice fly. Miller's single drove EN-
erson home. Whalen hit safely.
Cockill slammed out a two-bagger and
