SUGGESTION Of Plan
Of AIDING WAR VICTIMS
Proposed That Clubwomen Raise Re.
lief Fund by Barring Expensive
Christmas Gifts.

Proposal that the 5000 clubwomen in
Washington send Christmas cards in
stead of more expensive gifts this year
and devote the money they usually
spend on Christmas gifts to the relief
work in the war fields of Europe was
made at the executive meeting of the
District Federation OF Women's Clubs
being held this afternoon in the RAJ
leigh.
1t is the purpose Of a resolution be-
fore the committee that if the District
clubwomen take up this campaign no
tfce shall be telegraphed to all the
state decorations throughout the
United States, seeking the co-opera-
ton of the 100000 clubwomen of this
country.
The motion was presented and urged
by Mrs. Henry Baker, delegate from the
Fro Re Nata Club, who is also a men,
Der OF the Twentieth Century Club: by
Mrs. Mary Lockwood, past president
OF the District federation, and one of
District, and by Mrs. Lucia E. Blount,

Tells Story of Battle Scenes.
The suggestion was made following an
address by DR.. Nevil Monroe Hopkins
who has recently returned to Washington
after having seen actual battle service
with the Red Cross in France and Bel
GUM. He was invited by Mrs Ellis Lo-
gan. president of the District federation,
to explain to the executive meeting con-
ditions as they exist in Belgium and the
needs for relief

explained that in strict observance of
neutrality such action on her part would
not be proper.
DIR. Hopkins has been energetic in his
work to help swell the relief fund for the
Begians, through the embassy here.
The idea caused heated discussion by
the clubwomen and definite action on the
proposition has not yet been taken.

Last year some good ball was wit
messed and the directors this year are
trying hard to repeat. Winthrop has
already raised large sum of money
by entertainments and is in good
financial condition. Augusta by the
skilfful work of the directors pulled
through the season of 1918 in good
shape with little money left over, but
the outlook at times was anything but
bright. and kept those in charge a
guessing. Good management put the
team on the right side OF the ledger
and IL is hoped that when the team
starts the season of 1914 that it will
have some capital to work with. Show

the matter. The members of the

Important Lecture at
Unitarian Church

DIR. Ernest Bernbaum, who will
speak against woman suffrage at the
Unitarian church next Tuesday eve
ming is a member of the faculty of
Harvard University. Teaching at
Radcliffe as we'll as at Harvard, he
has during the last seven years mad
the somewhat unusual experience of
teaching the same subject at the same
time at a woman's college and at a
mans college, and has observed what
remarkably different interests and Ca
pacities young men and young women
under similar circumstances display,
the women excelling in some respects,
the men in others. AS a result he Is
firmly convinced that the worlds work
will be done better il each sex contin-
ues to devote itself to progress in
those duties which 1t is by nature and
disposition the better suited to per-
form. Dr. Bernbaum has studied the
results of woman suffrage in the
Western States, and thinks that 1t
has done no coed and some harm
there. Realizing that the great ma
jority of women are averse to taking
up political duties, he thinks it is high
time that men help to prevent the bur-
den of an unwelcome responsibility
being placed upon women's shoulders;
and he has become well known as an
anti" speaker in Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire. Last spring he
spoke in the woman suffrage cam
paign in Michigan, where the anti
suffragists were victorious by the huge
majority of SO, 144.-Adv.
