Burns, and Frank DeSouza, of l Phoenix; Father Vabre, M. A. Mur- | phy, and James L.

 Woman's Club Holds
 Interesting Meeting
 The October meeting of the Wom- ans Club, held on last Saturday after noon, seemed to infuse new life into the membership present, for all were enthusiastic in speaking of it after wards. Roll call and the reading of minutes followed the usual opening song, "America," after which the president entertained motion to set aside the business of the moment and listen to short talk on American ization."
 Mrs. Kennedy introduced the speak CT, Mir. Richardson, who in the short time allotted him told why we need study Americanization. He said in part. "The ideal democracy is state of mind rather than an institution. When our desire for equality of op- portunity for all becomes stronger than our prejudice or our selfishness, then are we fit to go forth as the representatives of a true democracy. So long as we fulfill the letter of the law only, just so long we deprive our beloved country of her birthright of freedom. Just as mechanical home is at best cold and uninviting place, so a nation which deals out justice merely because it's laws require it to, repels the average citizen of moderate ability, and arrests the development of all that is highest and best in his na ture. As the individuals are, so in time will the nation be. If all of her citizens were just like you, would you be satisfied with your nation? What will you do about it?"
 The president thanked the speaker in behalf of the club, and expressed the desire that at some future time MT. Richardson might talk on "Huli House." which he had visited this last summer. @aR
 The clubs routine of business was next disposed of. While some resig- nations were presented, these were offset by splendid list of new names presented for membership.
 Mrs. Kennedy then announced a program for the afternoon, consisting of some feature presented by each de- partment of the club. Representing the Civics section, Mrs. E. M. Robison read a stirring article from the pen of the late Theodore Roosevelt. No one following her closely would have counted the writer other than hun dred per cent American.
