 There is one phase of it that has scarcely been ltouched. No matter how gord laws are enacted, slum con- ditions will continue as long as peo- pie herd in congested centers con- trary to economic laws. Some weird and fatalistic suggestion leads peo- pie to assemble in these human ant hills of the big cities. Somehow they prefer that life to health and better paying jobs in smaller cities or the country.
 On the one hand the tenement workshop. with sweated workers at a dollar a day. On the other, the de- pleted farm districts, with the farm CTS unable to get the help to harvest their crops. What contrast is this mA-adjus.ment of modern civiliza- ton. Is there not some organization, philanthropic or business, that can undertake the task of breaking up the congestion of the cities, and of con- meeting the worker with the country and small city joh?
 To most people the word "slum' conveys a picture of ramsackle tene- ments and swarming herds of dirty people. But equally dangerous con- ditions can be found in half of our small cities and country, towns, with the difference that there is no Jacob Riis in sight to work for the chil' drea.
 The little group of village houses without proper drainage, with con- taminated water supply, with all sexes and ages in one or two dirty rooms-these are conditions often found in semi rural life. They are quite as ominous as those which sRiis exposed in the metropolis.

County Federation Is
To Meet in Holtville
In Annual Convention


At the annual meeting of the In
perial County Federation of Women's
Clubs in Holtville Saturday there may
he more than usual interest in the
election of president, as the liquor
question is expected to have some
bearing on the choice.
Il is well known that in Imperial
many Of the best women have re-
NAMED away from the local club
through the belief that its influence
was thrown in favor of the nquor
traffic, and they would not be mem
bers Of a club so constituted.
Under normal circumstances this
year the county president would be
chosen from the Imperial club, but
throughout the county the women in
the ether clubs are taking a position
against the selection of a member of
the Imperial club, for fear a presi-
dent might be selected who would use
the county organization against the
statewide anti-salOon campaign. The
fact D. recognized that in the club
there are many excellent ladies. but so
many Of the Imperial ladies have
NithdrsWn from their club on this
ground that IL is thought unsafe TO
select an Imperial lady as president
of the county organization during this
year II strenuous anti-Iiquor work.
Il Is thought. too. that this will
give the club women Of the county an
opportunity to express their disap-
proval Of the license policy Of I'm
