over roast chicken, pigs feet and pork
chops.
Briggs discharged Jenkins and says he
then received threatening letters from the
ex-waiter. He admitted owing Jenkins
money, but said what the latter took out
of the refrigerator at night more than
amplifed any financial deficiency"
Jenkins called with n revolver. Briggs
jumped under a table Mt the first few
shots, but Jenkins pulled him out and
shot him in the back. But Briggs didn't
drop dead. He simply stared at Jenkins
and looked amazed. Then it dawned upon

CLUBWOMEN MEET
IN PITTSBURGH FOR
STATE CONVENTION
Questions Vital to Prosperity
of City, State and Nation
Discussed by Speakers Be-

PITTSBURGH oct I3.-Questons Of
vital interest to the home, the state the
nation-and to women In particular-were
discussed today at the nineteenth annual

Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall. The
events of yesterday were merely Incl
dental to the formal opening Of the

as did Assistant city Solicitor II. NJ.

Mrs. Semplc In her response said there
were two classes of people those who
lift and those who lean. The spirit OF
Pittsburgh was mot 30 knock but to
boost" and Pittsburgh's aim was to lift
and not TO lean. She thanked the various
organizations for their cooperation. At
the conclusion of her address she asked
the women to remove their hats and all
the fancy fall millinery was removed.
Mrs @. w. Cobentz, of Clarion. record
ing secretary. read the minutes of tho
last meeting
DR.. 5. b. Mccormick. chancellor of the
University of Pittsburgh, in an address
to the federation, said:
"rhe form of service Of clubwomen to-
day includes the domestic life Of the COM
cunity and the cultural life. Any as
sumption that womens participation in
the affairs of the world will njure the
home Is a false assumption, and it is
the business of women 20 remedy any
belief Of that kind. The home is the
economic institution, and it Is important
for the women to make the home an
economic factor. If social conditions are
to be made what they should be, men
and women must cooperate in remedying
the condition.
when women learn that men are as
good as themselves and when men learn
that women are their equals, then this
great state will take it's foremost place
in many ways. as it already has in some
days in the sisterhood of States"
