 Rembrant, why termed the King of Shai5ows-Mrs. c. l.. Briant.

 Drama League of America, it's pur- pose, growth and future--Mrs. Grover Cobb.
 Miss Gladys Russell rendered two beautiful piano numbers which were much appreciated.
 After the rendering of the program the president conducted the business session, the same being entered into with much enthusiasm The Domestic Science Committee had arranged to have a silver offering t'l this occasion and the sum of $8S was realized which was 5onated to the domestic science class to be used in furnishing room.

The Coun- cil also adopted the following com mittee report on the proposition the suspension of Labor Laws, es- pecially with reference to the employ ment of women and children during the war:
 "We were also appoin ed tc' consid- CT the recommendation from the Coun- Til of National Defense that the Gov ernor of the state be empowered to l3uspend state lator laws. In that con pcction. we beg leave to-repcTt,
 First that the resolution of the Touncil of National Defense is very .ruarded in it's expression and by no reans urges the taking of such act ion.
 Second. we do not believe that, at this time, there is an emergency that demands such radical action.
 Third, that in the absence of legis- ,ative acian the Governor could not exercise this power and the legisla- lure will not meet for one year
 We, therefore recommend that any ,ction on this mftter be decerred.'
