Congress Intended to Recess for

Unexpected house opposition to the
conference agreement on the $685.
100000 army appropriation bill and

CLUB WOMAN'S COURSE
AT WINTHROP COLLEGE
Women From All Parts of State
Will Attend i'm Rock Hill
July to 1S.

Club women from all parts of the
state are planning to attend the
club woman's course which will be
z to IS. In the words used in the
official announcement" "this course is
planned to promote the efficiency of
women in meeting their everyday re-
sponsibilities to home, to state, to
nation, and to humanity"
A most Illuminating course in
thrift will be given by Mrs. Alice
Pelaubet Norton, for many years as
sistant professor of home economics
at Chicago University. Mrs. Norton
has been designated by the treasury
department at Washington as in
structor in this course
"Relating intelligent buying. pa
triotic conservation. the planning of
the household budget and accurate
accounting with the question of sane
saving and wise investing, Mrs. Nor
ton will through a series of construc-
tive lectures show how homemaking
may be made more efficient and how
through the application of science to
the business OF living the home
maker may add materially to her
savings"
Mrs. Emma Fox, teacher and wri-
ter on parliamentary law of national
prominence, v'ill again give her very
interesting course In parliamentary
law. The club women of Lancaster
who attended last years course
have reaped the harvest of Mrs.
Fox's instruction in what ever phase
OF club work they have since under
taken. Any up-to-date club woman
will feel fully repaid for spending
two weeks at Winthrop by the privi-
lege of sitting at the feet Of Mrs.
Fox.
In addition to the specially pre-
pared course of study for the club
women several noted lecturers will
speak during the period of the
course. DR.. c. Alphonso Smith of
the U. S. Naval academy, who is one
of the most gifted speakers on the
American platform today, will give
a series of lectures from July IA
TO 1S
The swimming pool-always a
popular place with the club women
will be open with opportunity for in
struction upder expert swimmers.
For the nominal entrance fee of
$500 and a board charge of $500
per week, women (whether members
of clubs or not may attend all of
the lectures and courses which are
to be given.
South Carolina is one OF only two
states in the Union which affords
this splendid opportunity for the de-
yelopment and growth of its women.

sented at Winthrop, many women

mander Read.
Describing his experience on his
flight from Newfoundland to Lisbon,
Commander Read predicted that ir
the future long distance planes
would be much larger than the NC
boats, which have wing spread OF
126 feet and that gearing down the
propeller to obtain greater efficiency
in continuous drive of gasoline mo
tors would solve much of the present
engine trouble experienced on long
flights.
THE design of larger airplanes in
the future will undoubtedly incor-
porate the feature of a gearing down
from the motor to the propeller and
also the connecting up OF several
motors to drive one large propeller"
he asserted.
Regarding the radio, the results
obtained by the radio officer on the
NC-4 undoubtedly broke many pre-
vious records. He sent messages
over 700 miles. He heard Boston
over 1000 nautical miles. He cop

was 80 TO 40 miles, with the de.

Answering his own question as to
whether the results obtained from
the flight were worth the expense"
by asserting that "an immense
amount OF information concerning

for long distances" had been obtain

ratification of the federal suffrage
amendment goes steadily on. Texas
was the ninth state to ratify. Gov
clnor Gardner of Missouri, has called
a special session OF the legislature
for July for the purpose of ratifi-
cation. Governor Goodrich of In
diana. has called a special session
for August or September. The Wy
oming legislature will also convene
for this especial purpose.
As no time limit has been set by
congress for the ratification by
states the final triumph is absolute
ly sure Moreover there is every in
dicatiOn that ratification is not only
sure but imincnt. The women of
America-all of the women-will in
all probability be voting in the next
Presidential election.
Training women voters in the du-
ties of citizenship is to be the spe-
cial work of forty-one settlements
affiliated with the United Neighbor-
hood Houses OF New York Most of
the settlement work is among for
eigners and classes in English will be
taught, with instruction in citizen
ship, so that the women may be
ready for the primaries in the fall.
1T is one OF the biggest tasks the
settlements have undertaken, said
Mrs. Mary Kingsbury Simkhowvitcb,
head worker OF Greenwich House,
but there is no group of works in
New York who know more intimate
ly the life of the tenements than the
social workers. The settlement
workers know that great changes
must take place in this country TO
make il what our forefathers plann-
ed. land of freedom and opportu-
nifty for ali, and the first thing need
ed is an orderly process of change in
the framework of our existing politi-
cal structure"
While New York is training wo-
men voters it behooves South Caro-
lima to be training its potential wo-
men voters in citizenship. The Lam
