largest federated club of Topeka, is
in charge of the luncheon, when re-
rorts will be given of collections by
the committee of thirty-eight women
from that organization, whose duty
it is TO collect one dollars from every
member of the Woman's club. The
entire amount apportioned to the
Womans club is s399, there being
399 members in the organization.
Commission workers from the other
eight federated clubs of Topeka are
invited to be present at the luncheon.
Mrs. S. S. Beggs is chairman of
the committee from the Woman's
club.
Answering the assertion that this
war relief work might be left to the
organizations already in the field, Mrs.
Beggs says: There is no overlapping
of this work. The Salvation Army,
the Y. NJ. c. A, and the Knights of
Columbus are not able to look after
more than one-fifteenth of the work
that lies waiting to be done. More
over. this enterprise of the federation
is somewhat different from the others.
1t is being conducted under govern
ment advice and instruction. Sites for
the homes are now being chosen by
the official government committee for
the supervision of such undertakings"
