official government recogniuon-a def mite policy n pictorial publicity has been adoptedS said the speaker.
 Already eight artists have been chosen for service in France, their purpose is to make some record of what we are doing in the war and this record will result artistically and his torically in really great artistic records of the war. For some time, England, France and Italy have been doing this very same thing.
 Under the direction of the pictorial department, the committee on public information has called for posters-for the Liberty loans, for recruiting, for food conservation. for war savings stamps, for the Red Cross and has had a generous response-many of the posters being made by really great artists.

 Claiming that war conditions did not justify q temporary neglect of art Miss Noble quoted in conclusion:
 Education, all forms of education, must go ahead in spite of the war. War does not shatter real art. Its tguns may shatter great cathedrals and priceless galleries. That passing phase will only bring out in clever relief the deathless character of true art. For
 
 ruins will rise art treasures more mag I.nificent and more educational than the world has ever seen before. | Art is the keynote of a worth while 1 civilization and we can not afford to smother it even in war times ] Mrs. H. E. Wilkinson discussed the l function of art in war time, giving as l its greatest function the fact that it aided in sustaining the morale of the | nation.
 Mrs. Charles Christy argued from the poster standpoint of art and pointed out the new Liberty loan poster pri- vate view of which was permitted the club through the activity of MT. Chris ty. The posters will not be given pub i licty other than in the club until 1 Saturday,.
 How May Our Women's Clubs 1 Best Help in War Needs?" was the subject of a talk given by Mrs. | Clarence White and Mrs. Fred Adams of the Tucson Womans' club read d paper on Our Preparation for the | Reconstruction Period"
 Preparation for the reconstruction f. period can at present be along one line-that is educational, for who can say at this time what the reconstruc- tion will be?' said Mrs. Adams. | However, we are willing to mako every sacrifice that it will not be according to the kaisers plans. Only l by becoming more familiar with th- | problems of today can we prepare for the future. Therefore it is the duty of every American woman to have an intelligent understanding as to the causes of the present crisis and our governments position with relation to the war. This can be done only by diligent study and there is no better place to begin than the Womans' club.
 There is no better service which you can render your country, your president and your family than tc inform yourself upon the great problems of the day. When the women of Arizona were given suf- frage, we were not offered leader ship, but were given partnership. We accepted it and thereby became equally responsible for our govern ment.
 Hereafter we must take a greatei interest and must realize that it is not a few persons in Washington who are our government, but we ourselves.
