 TO AID NATION

Methods of active patriotic service have been adopted by the general fed eration of women's clubs. The feder ation, representing 100000 women. has outlined plan which will include Ii depai :ments of work, each of which will be requested to make out definite lists at once of the activities under which they believe their workers can severally serve the public need in the present crisis.

 These state units shall be sub- b-di- vided into county units and these may SUCH ds will facilitate the work in any par ticular state.
 Second-The second duty of the emergency service committee shall be to direct the card indeXing and certi- fled registration of each club woman in her division for the kind of service she is qualified and able to offer.
 The committee presented six forms of emergency service, endeavoring to designate these by such comprehen- sive titles as would present first sub division where desired or necessary, second the inclusion of such additional constructive work as might be required to meet the conditions.
