Though the fiscal year prescribed as
Better Baby Year by the Council of De
fense has ended, there are local, national
and international movements to con
tinue the work unto the ultimate
achievement of better conditions, gen

appropriations to carry on the work.
Conferences and conventions are being
held. And the Visiting Committee is
doubling its efforts to make the Child
Welfare Department one of the strong
est and most effective features of the
City Federation of Colored Women $
Clubs. At the meeting of the Fedora
tion at Quinn Chapel, Monday, it was
recommended that the federated clubs
each elect or appoint at least one mem
Der to serve ON this committee.
A greater cooperation between all de-
partments of the Federation will be had.
Through the Education Committee in
structive literature and lectures will be
provided for workers that they may pro

The United States government Is of

discharged thus far have allowed their
premiums to lapse and have failed to
take advantage of the splendid oppor-

WILLIAM BOTTOMS BUYS
6ANKER'S MANSION ON
GRAND BOULEVARD

The home of Mr.. George Lie
brandt, president of the Lincoln
State Bank, which is located at
356I Grand Boulevard, commonly
called the Villa beautiful apart
ments, has been recently purchased
at a very moderate cost of Twenty
thousand dollars (S2o,ooo) by the
popular proprietor of the Dream
land No. I and No. 2.
Mr.. Bottoms at this writing is
moving into his new home, his many
friends that he has won with his
perpetual smile, and high-class en-
tertainment that he has furnished
for them without regard to cost, are
smothering him with letters of con-
gratulations.
1t was only a few months ago that
Mr.. B toms "stole a march" on
MS friends, abdicating quietly on a
hunting trip to Wisconsin. 1t seems,
however, that he was not satisfied
with the game he pooled in this
snowy cline. Immediately he made
a roundabout move like reconnoi-
tering aeroplane to Champaign, Hi
nois, and here he alighted, made a
catch that would make Teddy feel
like smiling and saying, Gee, it's
bully" 1t was an agreeable sur
prise to his friends to learn that it
was the beautiful and popular Miss
Leota Davis, the daughter of Mr..
William Davis.
The public cannot expect any
thing less than happy and ex-
emplary married life.
