WOMANS NATIONAL
DEFENSE LEAGUE.

On Wednesday Aug. 10Th Mrs.

lecture in the interest Of "The
Womans Council Of National De.
Tense" Unfortunately the prom
Used treat was not generally ad
vertised, only a very few ladies
tried 10 let their personal friends
know over the phone, else the de
lightful Lodge room Of the Elks
would have been filed Az it
was, there was most intelligent
and patriotic audience who hearth
ly enjoyed the interesting facts
clearly defined, Of the reason for
the organization of this Womans
National Council Of Defense, the
six principle secretaries Of the Ma
ton are the nucleus Of the Organi-
cation, and every state has in it's
Capital its best representatives
forming this Council, who commu-
nicates with the parish boards etc.
This il to prevent duplicating Of
methods and work. All this was
explained in most interesting
manner Mrs. Storms personality
is attractive, showing defniteness
Of purpose and full capacity tot
carry out any good work she I'M
dertakes. The principle work now
il to instruct the women generally
regarding registration which Is
compulsory in which every WOMAN
mentions what she can do best to
aid the government is these trying
times, and while every one must
register, the work Is voluntary.
This, every woman over Is and
under 50 years ought TO know, as
Sept. the 1st IS spoken Of as the
time of registration, but the time
and place will be sent from the
governor later. Mrs. Or. Ken.
wood Shaw was elected Chairman
There was no need OF q treasurer
as there are no dues. In selecting a
secretary the audience forgot the
Presidents age limit and very gra-
ciously elected a lady, who is
many years beyond the two score
aud ten and the very first duty of
this Council Of defense is to i'm
obey orders, so at the
first meeting a suitable secretary
will be chosen. We have many
young women who are splendidly
equipped for this glorious work.
The members Of each woman's or
ganization in the city, such as the
Guilds and the societies Of the
the civic societies, the
Eastern Stars are to form the
board. Those organizations whose
presidents were not there, we're
asked to appoint two members at
The next meeting that will form
IN excellent and resourceful body
IF women. BY this time, every
woman who failed to hear Mrs
Storm will be regretting missing +
such a treat. Some day we hope
% see her again In the mean
line, everybody must talk regis
ration and look through the col
ectlon Of their various accom-
