in child welfare work. The congress has always been actively interested in the betterment movement as applied to babies and since it has become a war measure will devote even more time and attention to welfare work. Incidentally at the board meeting Monday it was formally announced that the congress would conduct a Better Baby Contest at the State Fair, which will be the fifth annual contest conducted under the auspices of the parent teacher association and child welfare circles.
 The civics education department Of | the Woman's club will meet Monday | afternoon when a program of current | topics will be presented. There will | be a discussion relative to the invest | ment of funds raised at the recent | Victory tea. The sum will be used | for war purposes the exact nature of which will be determined at this |
 meeting. | At recent meeting of the execu- | tive board of the California Fedora
 tion of Women's clubs a resolution
 was passed presenting the name of Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles as a. can
 didate for the presidency of the Ma
 tional Federation of Women's clubs ! for a second term. The board ex-
 pressed itself as recognizing much
 unusual efficiency on the part of Mrs. Cowles who, aside from maintaining all that is best in the ideals of i.
 womanhood, has proved herself a reae1 | force in woman's war work within the federation.
 The club members in general feel, consequently, that the present crisis
 demands the continuance in office of
 leader so intimately acquainted and
 connected with the opportunities for increased efficiency. It was also re- solved that the presentation of Mrs. !, Cowles' name should be called to the attention of each district convention
 to the state federation convention l and copy of the resolution sent to the presidents of other state feder- ations, to the corresponding secretary
 of the general federation, to the Gen. eral Federation Magazine and to the press at large.
