|KEOKUK WOMAN IS ELECTED
. PRESIDENT Of LEE W,C,IU,
Before adjourning for dinner the
convention observed it's noon-tide
prayer hour.
Service Fiaa Dedicated.

Service Flag Dedicated.
The meeting last night was splen-
did success. Preceding the address
OF the evening by Mrs. Eva G. Dob
inson. the service flag OF the broth
ers, sons and husbands of the white
Ribboners" of Lee county was dedi-
Gated.
There were three gold stars placed
on the flag for the three soldiers
who had died in the service. They
were for Tommy Dunn. of Argyle,
killed in action; Glenn Satterly, of
Mt. Hamill, killed in action. and
Hugh Satterly, who was brother
of Glenn's and who died on the same
day at Camp Funston as his brother
did in France.
Thirty-six silver cross bars were
pinned on the blue stars, denoting
the soldiers Of the w. T. c. U. women
of Lee county who had received their
discharge. There were fifty-six stars
altogether.
When the gold stars were pinned
on the flag, the audience stood while
taps were sounded by bugler in the
anterooyn OF the building. Afterwards
the Star Spangled Banner" was
sung.
Another effective part of last
nights program was Mrs. Florence
Wright Schouten's singing. She sang
This Is My Task" preceding Mrs.
Robinson's address on the work to
be done in the slums, which seemed
to be just the right thing to get the
appreciative audience in sympathy
with the thoughts in the lecture" one
woman said.
Spoke Of Her Stun Work
Mrs Robinson spoke of her per-
sonal experiences in slum work at
Pittsburgh, depicting wildly the con-
ditions there and the help that the
w. T. c. U. workers tried to give
the people there. She said that the
slum district alone there had popu-
lation of $4,000 Inhabitants, all Of
them needing assistance from the
outside world. Mrs. Robinson said
that the quarters in which the w. L.
c. q. did their work were poorly
equipped and that they were unable
to care for all the folks who came
to their mission. I'VE were compelled
to lock the doors and windows in the
building to keep the children OUTSIDE
from coming in when the rooms were
already filled with hungry. poorly
clad, eager youngsters who wanted
the help we could give them" she
told her audience.
The speaker said that the children
in those slums, as in all others, were
deprived of all green grass and flow
ers. and that it was pitiful to watch
them as they lowered near some hot.
house plants that were sometimes
taken to the mission house by
friends, and how they loved them
almost afraid to touch the wonderful
blossoms.
Mrs. Robinson touched on the
temperance subject, in an indirect
way only, by saying that great deal
of the misery and unhappiness en-.
dured in the slums was due to liquor.

Lire Rate Reduced
Exchange Institute Cuts Rate to
200 to Dollar

The Italian Institute of Exchange.
which is still supervising transactions
IN Italian exchange in this market.
despite the withdrawal of govern
menta! support, yesterday reduced the
official rate on lire cables from CTS
to the dollar to 100. The open mar
ket rate is below that level, closing
yesterday at 7.15 lire to the dollar for
cables.
On official statement made by the
institute yesterday said: an con-
control of lire exchange, decided upon
IN New York and consequently ap-
piled in London and Paris, the In
stitute thinks it advisable to point out
that it is obliged by law to exercise
its monopoly until six months after
the conclusion of peace. Therefore,
the arrangement holds good by which.
during that period of time, the Italian
banks holding balances of lire credit
IN favor of foreign banks, shall CON
tinue to request the authorization of
the Institute before effecting pay
ments, transfers on the said balances.

Tins arrangement, which was made
exclusively with a view of protecting
Tor the time being the lire exchange
against speculation and preventing at
the same time payments on goods not
properly imported into Italy, shall be
nationally applied up to the time when

lnstated also in Italy"
