NATIONAL DEFENSE,
W0MAN'S COUNCIL,
ORGANIZED HERE
WORK or THIS SOCIETY is SIM
LIAR TO THAT or THE RED
CROSS BUT is BROADER IN
SCOPE.

A branch of the Woman's Commit
tee of Council of National Defense.
Illinois Division, has been formed in
Ottawa with the officers Of the Wo-
mans Club as follows: Mrs. w. f.
Carr, chairman; Miss Miriam San
ders. secretary; Miss Harriet EIol-
locker, treasurer. The object of this
organization is to secure the regis
tration of every woman in Ottawa
to utilize organizations already in
existence. to promote efficiency. to
prevent duplication of effort; to give
evAy woman an opportunity for
patriotic service, either at home or
abroad, and incidentally to be an in
spirntional center for the entire com
munity.
The probable demands of war con
ditiOns are as follows:
Hospital supplies. comfort for sol
ders and sailors, and relief of Sol
diers' and Sailors families to be
cared for by the American Red Cross
Navy League and Phianthropic So
cietics
Food production and household and
personal economies, to be cared for
by Woman's Clubs and agricultural
colleges.
Maintenance Of local charities, by
the Phianthropic societies
Women and children in industry
by the Trade unions and woman's
clubs.
Maintenance of health, by physi
clans and visiting nurses.
Patriotic meetings. by the d. A. r.
and Colonial Danes.
These are only Il few of the
many lines of work that this organiza-
ton is trying to keep up. In these
days of great sacrifice and super
human effort the women of our land

to any one line of work, but must
by sacrifice and selfdenial find
time to help keep all good work
going. The government could per-
haps, with the large fund already
subscribed, care for the Red Cross,
but it could not take care Of our local
or state civic needs and charities
ANY woman in Ottawa DESTROYS of
rendering patriotic service TO her
country may become a member of
this organization upon signifying such
to be her desire upon a card provided
for that purpose and paying a fee
/ of ten cents, five cents of which will
be kept in our local treasury. Three
thousand registration cards have been
ordered, and Sheriff Davis will be
asked for the use of the Woman
Rest Room in the Court House as
Registration Headquarters. Those
who desire may register for any line
OF work in the professions or trades.
