Evolution From Literary Societies
to Chic Improvement Bodies Shown
in History of Local Women's Club

The evolution of women's clubs
from literary societies" that studied
Shakespeare and Shelley to modern
organizations with an active share in
all steps toward social improvement,
is marked by Richmond club women
who have been members of the or
CARNATIONS for the last ten years or
more.
Women's clubs are still studying lit
erature, they point out, but they are
also studying economics. scientific
home making, legislation, civics and
Americanization.
Two Richmond women's clubs that
have developed most in lines of ser
vice since their organization are the
Domestic Science and Athenea clubs.
The Domestic Science club was or
ganized to better the home. The club
instituted a visiting nurse and do
nestle science in the schools, school
lunches and the day nursery. 1t has
provided for lectures on matters of
civic importance. With its numerous
activities it has grown until it has in
the last few years found itself not
with various departments, each with
separate interest.
For several years Richmond club
women have had in mind an organi-
cation that would combine the activ-
tiles of the many smaller clubs that
were growing in power and scope.
The idea was taken up recently, and
the Domestic Science organization
voted to make itself into de-
partmental club. If the plan is car
ried out it will be a great step in
| the organization of Richmond women.

Armies Slow to Disband

Some impotence has been voiced in certain
Quarters against the sowness in the demobiliza-
ton of the American army. 1t took seventeen
months to demobilize the Union army at the
close of the Civil war. Two years and half
were consumed in demobilizing the armies after
the Franco-Prussan war. The disarmament OF
the Turko-Russian armies took about eighteen
months. Japan took eight months and Russia
thirteen months to disband after the Russo-Jap-
anese war. Sixteen months elapsed in the de-
mobilization of the American army after the
Spanish-American war. England took ten

until it embraces state and national organiza-

process of forming a national body will soon

A number of Indiana counties have perfected
their organizations The work in Wayne county
has gone ahead with commendable zeal and with
every prospect of success.
A comprehensive presentation of the useful
ness of an organization of great war veterans is
offered by the Chicago Tribune, which editor

war.
These figures are cited to show that the de-
mobilization of an armed force cannot be accom-
plished in few weeks. The problem OF trans
port in the present case is tremendous one. Inc
speed shown so far is remarkable when the DIS
lance to be covered in bringing the men back
from France is taken into consideration.
Impatience must be curbed. On the other
hand, no excuse will be accepted for dilatoriness
in returning the fighting Yanks who went over
to finish the job as quickly possible. With the
task completed, they naturally want to return
home with the utmost dispatch, and no one
blames them for their desire, either.

Keep on Saving Daylight

Efforts are under way to repeal the daylight
saving bill before it can be put into effect this
spring. The excellent results attained last year
are sufficient guarantee of the inherent virtues
on the legislation and should preclude any
thought on the part Of congress to repeal the
legislation.
The fact that the war is over is no reason
why people should go back to the old way OF
doing things. Valuable time was saved last year
and the beneficent results extended into many
spheres. England and France intend to continue
to save daylight and the United States should
Join them.
Business interests of the country are back of
the movement to keep the law on the statute
books. The National War Garden commission is
receiving kilograms from all over the country
protesting against the repeal of the law. The
Chicago Association of Commerce has wired its
protest. All the states of the Middle West have
been asked to aid in the fight to retain the law.
The New York Times answers the objections
of farmers against the law by pointing out that
the farmer who is accustomed to begin his work
at o'clock old time need not begin until o'clock
new time, if he believes that the legislation forces
him to 90 to work earlier than he did under the
old system.
Inc system WORKED Will eIlIucAt ouCS0oo al
Wayne county last year. After the first day, the
process of readjustment was completed and
urban and rural jewellers had no trouble in ac-
commodatng their activities to the new schedule.
The Indianapolis News comes to the defense
of the measure as follows:
There is probably little truth in the charge that
opposing the daylight saving law because they
do not and city residents to produce SO much
garden truck The farmer is entirely to raise
garden the public though he usually has gar
den of his own general thing however, he has no
time to take vegetables to town. This is the business OF
the market gardener small truck farmer.
The farmer who has garden plot Of his own is able
to raise potatoes tomatoes cabbage cucumbers radsnes
lettuce onions things with little extra labor on
part Of himself family The city resident can not
have Of garden unless he has time TO work
in It and he does this time under the regular
time schedule The daylight saving act him an extra
hour in the and he used it to such good ad-
vantage garden products valued last sum-
mer at millions of dollars They should be equally vau-
able this year.
There appears to be no real reason why the farmer
arrange his hours OF work to suit himself regard
less of the to put in ten hours or twelve
hours on the the sole arber of the hour when
he shall start and he shall call 1t day. Conse-
ouently there should be quarrel between the rural
and urban resident regarding the clock hands Sentiment
in favor of of the daylight saving law is
growing throughout the country and has been
getting many communications urging that the law be
permitted to stand.
