EAU CLAIRE FOR NEW TINE

Apparently satisfied by two years
trial of daylight saving, the people of
Eau Claire are beginning to agitate
for return to the plan next April,
despite the fact that congress repealed
the law. A committee has been APP
pointed to canvass the city, especially
among employers and employees, as
to the majority sentiment on the prop
osition. The feeling here seems to be
that if the government does not en-
act daylight savings legislation again
that independent action be taken here
by setting back the clocks an hour or
arrange to change the hours of bust
ness SO that work will commence one
hour earlier in the morning and end
one hour earlier in the afternoon.

SOCIAL EVENTS
Round Up Day for
NeedIework Guild
Is Set for Nov. IL

Needlework guild day has been
set as Nov. IA and will be held at
the home OF Mrs. T A. Murphy, SCI
Thirtieth street, under the direc-
ton OF the Helpers circle of
Kings Daughters. This was the
nual meeting OF the circle, which
organization has sponsored the
guild since it's introduction IN Rock
Island a number of years ago.
The circle will call 1t roundup
day for the garment members OF
the American needlework guild.
and an effort will be made to make
1t even more successful than in
past seasons. The idea OF the
needlework guild is simple, being
Just this: Any one who donates
three articles to the guild auto
matically becomes a member. SEES
sions are held but once a year,
there are no officers, no bylaws
no constitution, no paid member
ships. Articles upon being donat-
ed are collected at one home for
exhibition and ara then divided
equally among the four philan-
thrOpic institutions: the Associat-
ed Charities. Bethany home, Visit
ing Nurse association and West
End Settlement.
Many are not aware OF the fact
that donations are not for children
alone, but are also for men and
women. There are numerous gar
ments desirable and among these
may be mentioned: hosiery, black
is preferred; women's and chill
dren's knit underwear, children's
dresses in both white and colored,
boys blouses and night shirts, I'M
derwear, sweaters and other neces-
sary articles, mems socks and
handkerchiefs. In infants wear
there are dresses. skirts. hosiery.
coats. sacques, shirts in wool and
cotton, bands. caps, bOOtees and
other things for baby's comfort.
The guild requests that %SIree ar
ticles of a kind be donated. These
are merely suggestions and there
are ever so many other things that
are acceptable as soap, talcum
powder, wash cloths, towels, etc.
The circle sponsoring the guild
is trying to interest the merchants
in displaying articles in their store
windows and on their counters that
will be suitable for gifts to the
guild and the stores probably will
show a great number OF such
articles.
The Helpers circle has success
fully carried on the guild year aft
er year and the charitable organ
izations Of the city have greatly
benefited from the donations that
have come to them and which have
tided them over many a perilous
time.
The circle a. it's annual meeting
elected it's officers for the year.
