 This measure is the direct result Of the southwestern conference on tuber- culosis which convened In Waso. Texas two years ago and which was composed of delegates appointed by the governors of the states of Arizona, California, Co., 'orado. Kansas, Nevada. New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.
 These representatives realizing that each year many consumptires without means of providing for their own wants spend the most dangerous period of their illness from the standpoint of the infection of others in this region, adopted resolutions declaring the care of indigent consumptives to be ar in terstate problem which it is the duty of the federal government to take in hand as these strangers are. even now, a great financial burden and also q great physical menace to the residents of hese seven states

It means 2 great deal that women of Califor ria and the other Pacific states of Florida, Texas and Maine, should
 make the long journey to the middle ind, h.. great 10 warrant such a venture. To the san Francisco biennial two years ago Illinois sent ninety dele gates and eight alternates. California is trying to do even better than that and hopes to have at least a hundred delegates at the Chicago convention Such friendly rivalry is interesting and bodes well for the Federation
 Mrs. James w. Orr, president ot
 the California Federation. in talking of club and federation affairs recent ly said: The California State Fed eration is working for the introduc- ton and establishment of vocational guidance and training in the public school system of the state. to en- courage the study of political science and to make permanent a Woman's council, which shall unify. dignify and direct the power of organized women in our state. Equal political privileges have strengthened club work among us. bestowing upon the individual woman the power of direct action; they have deepened our sense of the responsibility of organization and compelled careful consideration of all public questions"
 Mrs. Orr agrees with all the oth- CTS who have been questioned on the subject, that club life tends to make women more democratic, membership in d club being d covenant of mutual interest. Club women think socially. and have unity of purpose; non-c club women skirt the edges of opportunity for service. unrelated and without di- rection. Mrs. orr insists upon the importance of federation. The self centered club has no relation to the great movements of the day which
 mould and determine the collective activities of club women ! Mrs. Harry L. Keefe of Nebraska, tlit IctoiCiiS StcTet'uE ol lne Gen- i eral Federation. is especially inter ested ill village and country clubs There are many of these clubs in the Nebraska Federation, whose
 members are the wives and daughters of farmers The sentiment of our federation has always been favorable to organizing and bringing in these
 clubs. Recently department or di
 vision has been created in the state university to organize home economics
