CURED in some of the other cities in the

Chandler Brown of this city arrived
home about $3.50 O'Clock last evening,
having been in the wrecked train at East
Granville Friday afternoon. The wreck
would have been much worse had it not

! gent; Mrs. II. r. Watkins of Burlington,
state regent; Mrs. L. w. Hanson secre-

! tended very cortial welcome to the
visiting ladies and friends of the mem

state organization. A very enjoyable
| part Of the program was a solo, when
Pershing's Men Come Marching TO Pr
cardy," sung by Mr.. Hopkins in his usual
| pleasing manner. Mr., Hopkins always
pleases an audience when he reads French
dialect and his selection, given as Il re-
Spouse to the encore to the song, received
! the usual greeting The Hon Fred a,
! Rowland was the speaker of the after
noon He spoke from the subjects, The
| Woman's Movement and the League to
Enforce Peace" combining the two, This
is no attempt fully to report Mr.. How
lands thoroughly interesting and very
| instructive address, but only to pass on a
thought or two. He spoke of the extent
to which the right of suffrage had been
granted to women, and called attention
to the fact that it is extremely necessary
for women to prepare for the great re-
sponsibility which this right brings with
it; which women have earned by their
very efficient and most untiring work
during the war, but which they do not
! fully appreciate He referred to the
agreement recently drawn up in Paris for
the society Of nations as "the most i'm
portant international document that
ever sprang from the mind of man. and
quoted from a London newspaper, the
| leading one of the world, to this effect.
After giving an instructive discussion Of
these articles of agreement left
one other thought that ought not to
be omitted He said; 1T is moral ac-
tions and not intellectual processes that
solve the problems of life 1t is this that
won the war and made the individual
fighting man almost invincible." And he
added: Women viii bring that inval-
liable element into our public life The
singing of America followed by So
cial hour, closed one of the most delight
| full social events of the season. The re-
freshments were in charge of Mrs. New
comb and Mrs. Booth. The ushers were
| Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Bliss, Mrs. Kennedy,
Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Put
nam of Waterbury,
