Purpose Is to Promote Activities
of Wide Variety Among Capt.
taI's Gentler Sex.
PLAN MOST DEMOCRATIC
Successes of New York, Bos-
ton, and Baltimore Bodies
Will Be Attempted.

Have you heard about the women's
City Club of Washington? Plans for
its realization are on the way.
A like organization in Boston has
$500 members, q clubhouse, restau-
rant, and an enviable financial his
tory.
Washington women are to have a
real club OF their own, with a club
house and an open forum.
The Women's City Club OF Wash
inEton, Is the name, and the purpose
is to promote in the largest possible
sense, activities among women of this
city and to encourage their closer ac-
QuaintAnce on q broader basis Of COM
mon interest.
Plan IL UnfoIded.
This project was unfolded at a
meeting held yesterday afternoon at
the home OF the provisional president,
Mrs R D. Shepherd. Invitations had
been sent out to women representa-
tives OF various fields OF activity and
the meeting conducted along lines pre-
viously laid out at a first meeting by
the original organizers.
women's city clubs, on the order
Of that to which the infant organiza-
tion aspires, have been most success
full in New York, Boston, st. Louis,
and Baltimore.
Definite plans were laid out for the
construction OF the club and the gov
erning principles for the space of one
year.
Interests Widespread.
Unlike most clubs, which require
that each Incoming member have GER
tain qualifications like unto other
members, the women's City Club of
Washington wants members with all
kinds of interests.
The actual governing body of the
organization for the space of one
year, at least, will be composed of a
series OF committees, the chairmen OF
which are to be chosen from all pro-
fessions and fields in which women
are now employed.
These committees are to work un-
der the general direction OF the pre-
siding officers, and to direct their ef-
forts In whatever way the needs Of
each situation demands

Club officials were read. one from

Told q Own Experiences.
Mra. d. NJ. Lamm, the vice presi-
dent Of the new Washington organiIa-
tion told of her own experiences at
the Boston club, and outlined in a
definite manner the plans upon which
the local club would work.
In explanation OF the project Mrs.
Shepherd said today:
There are mems city clubs. Then
came women's city clubs. Now we
want a woman's club here in Wash
ington. Whether we realize our hope
or not rests with the women OF this
city.
Want Working Women.
We want for members. working
women, shop girls, society women, so
cial workers, women in all OF the pro-
fessiona, leaders in business organ
iEations, and homekeepers with ba-
bies.
THE magic open sesame OF this
club is not who are you but what
have you doneT"
Pending a campaign to be taken up
by the membership committee the
first meeting was adjourned, and a
meeting planned for February 20 at
the Cairo ballroom.

Have you ever been hungry? Fool
ish question: you exclaim. There
are many people so unhappy that they
have never known hunger. Perhaps
you think live tissues are like a'mag-
net. One draws food as the other
does metal.
The stomach is said by some bio
logists to demand food by instinct,
just as a chick pecks its way out of
the shell or a dlIcklinE swims when
II gets into water.
The uncomfortable sensation felt in
the pit of the stomach, called hunger,
certainly is not the result Of the sight
or thought of victuals and drink. 1t
is a pang set up by the windmill or
whirligig motions of the muscles OF
the stomach walls.
The instant soups or other rations
hit the trail of the "tummy," the
pangs cease. Even a glass of water.
according to DR.. Minna c. Denton, of
Ohio State University, sometimes
checks hunger. even If the fluid is not
swallowed. This latter fact was
proved by Prof. Carlson's patient who
had to be fed with a tube, because
nothing could be swallowed.
No Relation to Appetite.
Hunger is but slightly, If at all,
concerned with the environment, edu-
cation and kind of food eaten. 1t has
less to do, with appetite, which is a
much more pleasant compound of
memories, tastes, sight, and smell.
L. lor 20 -
It is Influenced by vigor, physique.
stamina, youth, and animal activities.
A fiabby, weak, non-muscular man
is apt seldom to be hungry. A tried
out, exhausted. i'll or debilitated per-
son may lack both the sensation of
hunger and the perception called appe-
tite. He is without the pangs OF the
one and the tang OF the other.
Hunger is aroused when the stom
ach muscles move. Appetite is stirred
by aromas, condiments, tastes and the
like. Fats. oils, starches, sugars, and
proteins crafty hunger. They will
not satisfy your appetite, however
unless spices and seasonings are add
ed. Erratic demands and cravings OF
individuals are more commonly ended
by odd flavors or peculiarly agree
able combinations of food. Generally
the relative nutriment OF the ration Is
of small consideration.
Hunger Rare Nowadays.
Sedentary workers, those engaged
indoors, whose muscles other than
those used in walking. are not proper
ly exercised from their sixteenth year
until their premature deaths. have
real hunger so seldom that it Is hign
time to call their attention to it.
Appetite they often have. for the
muscle power OF their stomachs is not
at the bottom of this. An infinite
variety OF food, sauces, condiments
and fIavors deceive them and makes
them overcrowd their flabby stom
achs.
For all who run and read the ans
wer is plain. Are you going TO profit

FRENCH LEADER COUNTS =
ON THE UNITED STATES

Rene Viviani, vice premier OF
France and head of the war mission
comforting at Washington with Brit
ish and American officials, speaks Of
the United States as moral savior
of the spirit of freedom, and express
ses the profound appreciation of his
country for the help that is coming
from this side. Not only the money
and men, but the moral backing that
our entrance into the war gives, he
thinks, means much for the perman-
ent triumph of democracy.
1--WE have come to this country,
he said, Ito salute the American peo-
ple and it's government, to call to
fresh vigor our lifelong friendship,
sweet and cordial in the ordinary
course of our lives, and which these
tragic hours have raised to all the
ardor of brotherly love.
Will Fight Till Victory Is Won
"'Your fellow countrymen knew
that under the savage assault OF a
nation of prey, which has made Of
war, to quote a famous saying, Its
national industry, we were upholding
our Incompatible allies, faithful and
valiant to the death, with all those
who are fighting shoulder to should
er with us on the firing line, the sons
of indomitable England, struggle
for the violated rights of man, for
that democratic spirit which the
forces of autocracy were attempting
to crush thruout the world. We are
ready to carry that struggle on to the
end.
"And now, as President Wilson has
said, the republic of the United
States rises in it's strength as a.
champion of right, and rallies to the
side of France and her allies. Only
our descendants. when time has re-
moved them sufficiently far from
present events, will be able to mea-
sure the full significance, the grand
eur of an historic act which has sent
"a thrill thru the whole world. From
today on all the forces of freedom
are let loose. And not only victory
of which we were already assured,
is certain; the true meaning of vic
tory is made manifest; it cannot be
merely fortunate military conclu-
sion to this struggle, it will be the
victory of morality and right, and
will forever secure the existence of
a world in which all our children
shall draw free breath in full peace
and undisturbed pursuit of their
labors.
To Cooperate With U. s.
"To accomplish this great work,
which will be carried to completion,
we are about to exchange views with
the men in your government best
qualified to help. The cooperation
of the republic of the United States
in this world conflict is now assured.
We work together as free men, who
are resolved to save the ideals OF
mankind"

BORAHS RETIREMENT
STARTS SPECULATION

Senator William E. Borah's dec
laration made last week to the effect
that with the close of his present
term, March 4, 1919, he would not
be candidate again for senator,
has caused an evident choppiness in
political waters of the state. The
two chief questions being asked are:
What does Borah intend to do and
who will be his successor?
AS for the drst question, Senator
Borah makes plain in his statement
that his services to the public will
not cease. but that he will endeavor
to maintain his usefulness to Idaho
in other ways.
The furor is about his successor,
and 1919 is long way off. 1t is
said that possibly the governor
would not refuse seat in the sem
ate. ex-governor Hawley is men
toned, and Representative Addison
T. Smith. Ex-candidate D. w. Davis,
of American Falls, is Cooked upon
as an aspirant."
1t is up to the people as to where
the toga will fall when the time
comes; but as to whose shoulders
will be called to the attention of
the people as worthy the honor, that
is up to the wise men today.

men handed in their applications
while he was there.

The post master is in receipt of
a card asking that it be made known
how to secure information relative
to the officers and enlisted reserve

LLOYD GEORGE
DECLARES U-BOAT
MENACE PASSED
Tackles Settlement of Irish Question
As Most Vital Patriotic
Reform

In a speech at Guildhall last week
Premier Lloyd George discussed the
military situation, the Irish question
and other chief problems of the day.
He appealed to the sense of pa
triotism to settle the Irish trouble.
He said:
1--WE must convert Ireland from a
suspicious, surly, dangerous neigh
Dor to cheerful, loyal comrade.
Settlement of the Irish question is
essential for the peace of the world
and essential to speedy victory in
the war. l appeal to the patriotism
of all men to sink everything for
the one purpose of getting this ques-
tion out of the way"
He spoke of the war as practically
leading on to victory, with plenty of
munitions and supplies of all kinds,
and the moral effect of constantly
going forward in the balance against
the Teutons.
"Now, thank Cod" said the
premier, "our men have real
chance in the fight. The story now
is very different from what it was
in the early stages of the war. Be-
fore June, 1915. we lost "a guns and
considerable number of prisoners.
Since that date we have not lost a
single gun, while we have captured
400. Regarding prisoners, we have
taken at least ten to one. The tide
has now turned. Victory Is coming
increasingly nearer.
During the first 18 days of the
Somme battle we captured 1900
prisoners and "a guns. During the
first Is days of the Arras battle our
captures were $4,000 men and 23O
guns, while we gained four times as
much ground"
Submarine Problem
The premier expressed confidence
that the combined best brains OF
Britain and America can solve the,
submarine problem. He said the
present plan of combating the SUBJ
marine IL carried out would mean
the end of peril from that source.
He said that he was perfectly sat
isfied with the balance of loss and
gain in the submarine matter, as al
tho Britain lost tremendous amounts
of shipping the indiscriminate tor
pedoing brought America into the
fight to down Teutonism.

PREPAREDNESS CAMPAIGN
Governor Alexander Authorizes En-
listment Of Pupils In Produc-
tion Army

Governor Alexander issued proc
lamation from his office April 81
calling upon the people of the state
to realize the desperate need of our
country at war for food to feed
the men behind the guns. He urges
that the man who aids in feeding his
fellow-being is rendering as great a
service as he that is forced to shed
blood in the cause.
He calls upon all school pupils,
especially those between the years of
IL and 10 to enlist In the agricul-
tural preparedness campaign and as
a body be known as Idaho 1nIreas-
ed Production Service"
The following method will be used.
according to the proclamation:
That the state department Of edu-
cation, and the state department of
farm markets cooperate in the fol-
lowing form of organization and
method of enlistment:
Chief recruiting general, state di-
rector farm markets, B. Harvey ALL
red, Boise, Idaho.
Assistant recruiting general, di-
rector extension division, University
of Idaho, o. D. Center, Boise, Idaho.
Chief county recruiting officers,
county superintendents of schools of
the several counties of Idaho.
First lieutenant recruiting officers,
city principals and superintendents
of the high schools.
Local recruiting officers, teachers
of any and all schools who may have
pupils of volunteer age, or at the
close of schools, and in the absence
of teachers, clerk of the board OF
trustees.

U. s, NAVY CENSORSHIP
CLAMPED DOWN HARD

Since war was declared between
the United States and Germany the
Atlantic feet has disappeared, and
no piece of news as to its movements
has been allowed even in letter from
the crews of the battleships. A reg
ulation card similar to that used in
Europe is being employed so the men
may let their families know that
they are WELL or sick, that they have
received a letter, or have not heard
for a. long time. The. card has a
series of these terse sentences, and
the writer draws a line thru all but
one or two which may be applied in
his case at the time.

age limits from 81 to 27.
Senator LaFollette threatens to
block the passage of the bill by Sc
curing a popular vote of the people
on conscription. Nevertheless it is
regarded as certain that the presi-
dent will have the bills before him
for his signature by the end of the
week. Theb i'll must be repassed in

FRENCH ENJOYS
HAVE THE POWER !.
TO NEGOTIATE
France Needs Money, Food, Coal,
Fertilizers, Steel, Oil and Ships
TO- Carry the Goods

Conferences between the French
war missionand United States gov
ernment officials broadened to defin-
ite understandings by the close of
last week.
The mission left France with the
object only of carrying their coun-
try's salute to the new ally, but with
full powers to negotiate on any sub
ject according to developments in re-
gard to the war against Germany.
It was made known in the confer
ences that the things France most
needs are money, oil in quantities,
fertilizers, coal, steel and transporta-
ton equipment for both land and
sea, especially ships.
Surprised at Navy
Emile Hovelaque, who accom-
panied the mission to do work CO.
ordinating the benevolent societies
for the fighting men in France, and
as M. Viviani's assistant, told news
paper men Friday that they had not
expected to find us in possession OF
such magnificent navy. AS to the
welcome accorded the mission, he
said:

York was one of the warmest. II
