country, college and grade school, are united in a sisterhood as many sided as themselves, yet all so welded to- gether that their correlation is visible to all, because the various paths lead to single goal-the better common wealth. Before the food admins tration came into existence, in the New Orleans council meeting, we had foreseen the great need of food con- servation and had pledged ourselves to its practice. Now that pledge IS motivated by the call from the gov ernment. Even the other forms of conservation in which for years we have been interested leap suddenly into greater importance. We see that good roads facilitate war transporta- tion, that forest conservation relates itself to ships and aeroplanes, that bird protection serves crop produc- tiOn. These are not little things but big things. The child conservation, for which we have labored with the resulting government bureau and the baby weeks throughout the land, and the rural and town nurses established by club women far and wide, receive new impetus as war conditions reveal their importance. The protection of women in industry, we are warned from England and France, is one of the great phases of war service. But as Kipling says, You need not stop work to inform us. We knew it ten seasons before"
 Some years ago we recognized the and bent ourselves to do what we an171d fO ha and help the foreign born to sympa : thetic understanding of American ideals. Now, below all the super structure of war work we know that united eountry-a real United States--is the first requisite of suc- cess in war. Men and women of ev- means and feel their responsibility toward it.
 If, out of the war, shall come the realization of the community of pur- pose of all republics-the twenty y-ont that cover the two hemispheres ot America-we shall know that we toe have shared in some degree in the mutual understanding that helped il forward.
 Through the difficult times wt need to keep our contact with eacI other in our clubs, to help us toward | that sanity and far -sightedness whicl comes from thinking together. w need to see the ultimate causes an( the ultimate results. In this we car be mutually helpful We need tt know that well roars the storm tt him who hears a deeper voice acros. the storm" We need club life for tn, l inspiration that it has been to us il the past, for the inspiration it is t, us today, for the inspiration it vii be to us in the hard days of after war construction. when the tumul and destruction have left the worlt bleak, and every cooperative fore | will be needed to make it blossom | again. We shall go on with our clul l life. We see in it the outlet for ou 1 energy and our aspirations, not onl, | in this great test of national emer gency, but in our service for years t | come to ourselves, our families an, our nation.
