10000 WOMEN INVADE
NEW YORK FOR MEETING
OF FEDERATED CLUBS
Boy Scouts Receive Visitors and
Escort Them to Hotels-Ses-
sions of Convention
Begin Tomorrow
MAY CLASH OVER DRESS

NEW YORK May 22-An army of 10000
women, moblized from the ranks of 2,000,-
900 clubwomen in every State and posses
sion of the United States, began the inva-
sion of Manhattan Isle today for the open
ing of the 18th biennial convention of the
Federated Women's Clubs of America In
the Seventh Regiment armory here tomor-
row.
AS the squads. companies regiments and
battalions of handsomely gowned femininity
troop along the platforms from the long
trains pulling into Grand Central, Pennsyl.
vania Station and Hudson Terminal, from
California, Florida, Maine and other parts
of the country, they are taken in hand by
Boy Scouts in khaki, who see them safely
delivered" to their appointed places Other
scouts go around afterward and give them
printed and oral instructions about getting
here and there in New York. Still other
scouts look after their luggage.
Thanks to these lads and the hard work
ing arrangements committee, under the d.
rection of Mrs. North Mclean, of the New
York Federation, the 10000 will be COM
fortably settled in New York town and on
their way to hear Mrs. Percy V. Penny
hacker, of Texas, bang the big gavel on the
steel sounding board that will call the con-
vention to order.
Today's program for the delegates was
largely social. There was big luncheon
and there will be equally big dinner,
with the purely routine task OF registering
and organizing the convention on the side.
Presidential politics-referrng to the presi-
dency of the federated clubs and not the
Presidency of the United States-was al
ready bubbling over today. 1t will be the
East against the West in this struggle
Mrs. Samuel b. Sheath, of Tiffin, O., against
Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, of Los Angeles
Some fervid forensic forums are predicted
From the moment the convention Is
called to order until the night of June 2,
the women leaders of the nation will
make this old town hum with speeches
and squabbles and social affairs and all
those other exciting events that women
bring about when they get together. They
will give the world their official opinion on
government and goulash, food and fight
ing, marriage and millionaires, babies and
bantng, health and hardressing, short
skirts and short ballots, big wives and
little husbands, prizefghts and teahghts,
and many, many other matters of general
interest.
There has been evidence of some rather
sharp feeling between the city and country
delegates over the matter of style which
may crop up in some form during the con-
vention
The only open display of feeling on the
point thus far comes from the Indiana dele
CATION whose members have expressed
themselves being quietly determined to
ignore advice and instructions from New
York, distributed gratis through the Fed
eration's magazines telling how to dress
while here.

THE LAND OF PURPLE DREAMS
By Farmer Smith

You understand that this is not a new
dream l am telling you about, but is the
same dream / was telling you about few
nights ago, and Willie Wide-Awake is the
one who is dreaming, not you nor |.
Well, the Good Dream Fairy and Willie
Wide-Awake had sailed past the Moon
and had said "Howd'y" to Jupiter when
they came to the most beautiful sight Willie
had ever seen. The air was purple instead
of blue and the grass was purple, too, and
the flowers were all white, so that every
thing Willie could see was either white or
purple.
"Ohv was all Willie could say, but as
soon as he said il the word turned into
purple Dove, which sat on the limb of q
tree nearby and sang in the sweetest of
voices:
"Oh! Willie, Willie, you must know,
AS through the Land of Dreams you go,
Words are thoughts and thoughts are
things
Just speak word and 1t has wings!'
Willie was so amazed that he could do
nothing but sit still and look at the purple
Dove At length he ventured to speak once
more, and all he said was tiny sentence
but see what happened:
How funny! exclaimed Willie.
At this a Blue Jay flew up and sat be-
side the purple Dove and sang:
Tommy does, Willie do,
For must sing a song that's new.
My song Is gay-my life Is sunny;
So please don't say again-'How funny!
Willie was so surprised he couldn't speak,
but his little mind was busy all the time,
and he was thinking; How l should love
to live here all the time l am sure l
should never get tired of It,"
You must remember Willie hadn't said
word this time. However a cute little Owl
flew up on the limb of the tree and sat be.
side the Blue Jay. He put his head on one
side and sang:
"To-wit, to-woo
How do you do?
Pray, why not smile, instead of scowl
You MAY stay here and-be an Owl"
For the first time in Willie's life he
stopped thinking, He just couldn't think,
no matter how hard he tried.
Suddenly he felt something tickling his
nose and looking up he saw his mother
bending over him. He looked around for
the Purple Dove the Blue Jay and the Owl,
but they were gone
"well. my precious, where have you
been?"
40 the Land of Purple Dreams" an
swered Willie
But he did not tell his Mother about the
Dove, the Blue Jay or the Owl That was
HIS secret. Let 1t be yours until you hear
what happened few nights afterwards!

steadily growing to the proportions of roars.
Akut knew that he was working him

not wish to fight. He had come with the
boy to cast his lot with the tribe.

the words of the king ape filled him with
Indignation and sorrow.
The blacks had set upon him and driven
him away. Then he had turned to the
white men-to those of his own kind-only
TO hear the ping of bullets where he had
expected words of cordial welcome. The
great apes had remained his final hope. To
them he had looked for the companionship
man had denied him.
Suddenly rage overwhelmed him.
The king ape was almost directly be-
meath him. The others were formed in n
half circle several yards behind the king.
They were watching events interestedly.
Before Akut could guess his intention, or
prevent, the boy leaped to the ground di-
rectly in the path of the king, who had
now succeeded in stimulating himself to a
frenzy of fury.
