At q meeting of the Good Govern
ment club Thursday afternoon, Q re-
port was made Of the relief work done
by the club in the past few months.
During the early fall, the club made
1872 night shirts for use among the
soldiers Of Europe. A conservative
estimate of sos was placed as their
| value. Layettes for Belgian infants
made by the club are estimated at
value Of $3.50, and boxes of clothing
for older children at $165, and cloth
ing for the families OF unemployed
miners, worth 500, making a total OF
1910, a low estimate Of the value OF
relief work OF the club in the past few
months. This, with the amount con-
tributed in cash, would make more
than $1,000.

cided to work for laws as follows:
|
cation in the public schools. minimum

the public schools, child hygiene bu-
reau under public health department.

/ ton for all househo1ders, establish
ment Of municipal and county farms,
| equal property rights for men and
women, and the law that the women
lobbyists will fight Is the Inheritance

| An objection to the child hygiene
bureau was raised by DIR. Foy, a CHR
/ opractor. who thought that the use OF

eyes would not work we'll. Her objec-
lions. however. were voted down.
The club formally approved Of the
i Mahin bill, which provides for q
mothers' compensation. The club will
support that measure.

i Topeka has introduced a bill for mu-
|tnicipal farm, and the women will sup
port that measure. Mr.. E. L. Travis
i Of lola and Senator Harry Gray OF
