Probably no other nation in the world so nearly approaches absolute independence in respect to mineral re- sources as the United States.
 A glance at the statistics of mineral imports affords a means of compre- hending in q broad way how great and complex is the task of attaining na- tional independence in the mining, metallurgical and chemical industries. Last year the imports of mineral pro ducts, both crude and manufactured, exceeded $270,000000 Of this total probably 0o,o0o00O represents raw materials and crude materials, ihe val ue of these imports being about per cent of that of the domestic output In this list of imports the larger items named in the order of value are un-

 Twenty eight clubs are affiliated with the state federation over nine teen of last year. The latest club voted in the organization being the WinsloW Womans club. The increase is due largely to the efforts of the state president, Mrs. Henry D. Ross, who has aroused interest and enthu siasm in the club movement by her own keen interest. She passed the summer in the north where she or ganized several clubs and later in the winter may go south by request of those who are desirous of forming other clubs.
 With spooks, witches, fortune tell ing and countless innovations that were startling surprises the members of the Ramona Woman's club enter tained their husbands and friends Friday evening at the North Seventh avenue home of the president, Mrs Lou c. Woolery. It was one of the most enjoyable of Halloween events and the first of series of social af- fairs to be given by the club.
