Women of Today
FAVORS TREATY.

The women of California are so anx-
ious to have the peace treaty signed
that they have sent a petition to the
capital in the hands of Mrs. Aurelia
Reinhardt urging that the senate take
immediate action. Mrs. Reinhardt is
the president of Mills college, Oakland,
Cal She is representing the California
Federation of Womens clubs and the
petition she carried to Washington was
signed by $4,000 representatives of that
state.
Mrs. Reinhardt is well known on the
coast, particularly in educational and
club circles. She taught and lectured
in English at the University Of Idaho,
the Idaho State Normal school, and the
University of California previous to her
marriage. After the death of her hus-
band in 1914 she again took up teaching
and lecturing, and is now president Of
Mills college.
Mrs Reinhardt presented the petition
in the presidents room at the
capitol to a group of 20 senators invited
