WOMEN PROMPT
 TO PAY EXPENSES
Convention of General Fed eration at Chicago Cost
 $20,000 and Was Set tied Quickly.

Chicago, June 25.-Prompt payment was made of the $20,OO0 expenses of the General Federation of Women's clubs for the Chicago convention. An all-day sessions of the weary mana gers, was necessary to audit bills, but an object lesson in good business was considered important.
 The expenses of this largest and most successful convention in the his tory of the federation included the rental of halls, lighting, furnishings, entertainments, every detail which made the big assembly the smoothly running machine for which many hun dreds of women had worked for a year.
 Of this sum $10,0O0 was raised through tho activity of the Chicago association of Commerce. Club taxa tion was the method used. by the To- cal board.
 It is reported that all manner of unexpected drain was put upon the budget and the efficiency of the com mittee. Some states scheduled for a certain number of delegates sent dou- ble the amount. Iowa booked twenty delegates and sent forty, and extra work and accommodations, both at the hotel and the auditorium, had to be made for them.
 The only jarring incident was the rush at the presidents night, when a mob of women tried to force en- trance to hear Miss Margaret Wilson Mrs. Herschel Knapp, chairman of the local ticket committee, said:
 "The impetuosity of some of the out-of-town women carried them to extremes. They made unjust criti- cims, and I am sure this was done because of their ignorance of actual conditions
 The executive committee of the To- cal board has purchased splendid jewel, diamond ornament, which they plan to present to Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the board.
