WOMEN IN LIGHT OF
 A NEW DAY
Pacific Coast Field Committee of Y. w. C. A. Holds a
 3-Day Conference.

Someone has said that the wal threw a searchlight on women light that penetrated to the egg money in the cracked teapot; to the -four barrel and the sugar jar.
 This searchlight has not been re- moved but still Eliminates the place that women have won by their united and devoted service Wherever the energy of women was directed, tC nursing the sick, conserving food carrying on campaigns of thrift or caring for women in camps and can. comments, the unity of effort brought effective results.
 The war has brought new needs and developed new problems de manding earnest effort and clear thinking for their solution. The changing industrial conditions. the emerging from restricted environ. ment, especially in foreign lands re- quire serious thought and wise treat. ment.
 The Young Women's Christian As sociation having it's organized work OTNNSiA0Ah6 WI Ods NA dun reaching out to Europe, Asia and South America, realizes it's re- sponsibility' to these world problems and is planning to meet these post. war needs in an adequate fashion.
 As a part of the associations pro- gram of reconstruction the Pacific Coast Field Committee of the Young Women's Christian Association called q conference in San Francisco on Oc- tober 25, 26 and 27, to which two hundred women. representing various districts and interests of Arizona, California, Nevada and the Hawaiian Islands were invited The attention of these women was directed to the thought of international responsibil- ity and to the urgent demands and insistent calls coming from other lands for the work of which they have heard and which they are un- able to initiate for themselves.
 Among the prominent speakers al this conference were Miss Harriet Taylor, who acted as Executive Sec retary in France during the war and had charge of the training school which sent out workers to meet the needs Of war work over there. She spoke from wide experience and extensive knowledge Of work accom- plished and needs to be met. Miss Bertha Condo, recently returned from 3 survey of South America, and senior student of the National Association presented in vivid fashion the needs of women in our sister republics. Here women are just coming into industry and the problems arising from the sudden transition perpleX them sorely and lead them to look north for help and encouragement.
 Miss Louise Holmquist, executive of the Department of Research and Method had distinct message which she delivered with great earnestness and charm. Her knowl- edge of the needs of women is pro- found and her interest and enthu- siasm are ontagious.
 Mrs. Eddy, from her wide knowl- edge of foreign lands, explained the calls for work in these fields ant told of the cooperative relation be- tween the missionary workers and the Young Women's Christian As sociation.
