WHAT THE WOMAN'S
CLUBS ARE DOING
I'M THE STATE

dents at the University are being
helped and are drawing on an average
of $40 per month. Only two of this
number will finish this year. The
other four will require assistnce next
year and besides this number there are
three others that have applied for as
sistance next year 1t is still long
time before the fall term begins and be-
fore that time there are sure to be
others asking for aid. The Chairman
will be very glad to receive donations
for the same at any and all times.
Sixteen ladies of the Woman's Club
of Yerington met at the home of Mrs.
Geo. West on February IS, and or
ganized a Home Economics Section
of that Club. They will meet in the
various homes twice a month to study
home economics or to conduct demon
strations The subject at the first
meeting was the Model Kitchen and
useful Kitchn Appliances. Mrs. Frank
Stuart gave an interesting talk on the
s. modern kitchen describing its arrange
ment and equipment so as to secure
the greatest efficiency with the least
waste of time and energy. The next
meeting will be with Mrs. w. f.
Powers, when the ladies will discuss
the Value of Oranges in Diet and
conduct a demonstration using them
in the dit. Each lady is asked to re-
spond to roll-call with a recipe for
a sandwich. Mrs. Joseph Bentel,
Chairman OF Programs of Home Eco
nomics has just arranged very in
teresting series of subjtcts for Round
Table Discussion and Demonstrations
with an extensive photography to aid
Club women arranging such pro-
grams. The Home Econmics Com
mittee hope to have every Federated
Club provided with such data before
Club Committees begin work on year
books for lol5-1o16.
The last meeting of the Wo-
mans Club of Ely proved a splendid
success. The first number on the pro-
gram was piano solo by Miss Maud
Teter which was very much enjoyed.
Mrs. n. II. Fay gave a synopsis of cur
rent events. Her selection OF topics
covered the chief matters of intere i
to everybody, including the European
war in brief outline. Mrs. John Haley
axrall.nt E,a,I, 1,
History covering the period between
the ninth and sixteenth centuries.
This covers a most important period
in the growth OF English liberty and
the development of popular govern
ment and will form a basis for the
study of civics when the history of
England is completed. A vocal duet
by Mrs. Anthony Jurich and Miss
Gladys NJ. Lewis was the special fea-
ture of the meeting. Miss Fannie
Cupid read an excellent article on
Ancient Antiquities" from the Bay
View Magazine A prize has been
offered by the State Federation for two
best papers written by the school chill
dren on native birds and flowers and
the Club is planning to hold session
in March which will be devoted to
these topics. The children of the
grade school have been asked to take
an active part in the program on that
occasion. The Charities Committee
made a report on the work that is
bing done in that direction. The re-
cent Investigations have shown the de-
STABILITY of finding suitable homes
for unfortunate children in the State,
and the matter will probably receive
further attention by the Club men,
bers.
