WoMAN'S CLUB

WOMAN'S CLUB
 The meeting of the Art, Literature and Music sections of the Woman's Club held on March 18th was one of the best of the club year.
 A short business meeting was with the chairman Mrs. Clement, pre- siding The principal business trans acted was the unanimous election of Mrs. H. H. Firth as chairman for the coming year and the decision of this section to hold an exhibit of the Copley prints at date to be settled later. The program which followed was de- voted to Arizona and each member was asked to respond to roll call with some event of historical significance to our state.
 There were many interesting items given, among them one on the origin of the name Arizona. This was given by the club historian, as a legend among the Papago Indians of the kill ing of number of little children near the southern border in some tribal war. This spot was afterwards called Arizona" meaning the slaughtering place of children" from Ari- children, and Zona- place of slaughter.
 Another interesting statement was that the San Xavier Mission near Tue son, claims to have records to show that this was the oldest settlement of Europeans in this country, antedating that of St. Augustine by several years. Mrs. Terrell gave description of Cliff ton as she first saw It in 1879. Mrs. Hagan played two selections on the piano. Mrs. Work Of Morenci delight ed her audience with an original poem entitled Arizona and Mrs. Weller of Los Angeles gave two splendid songs My Western Land" and Arizona
 At the close of the program refresh ments were served and a social hour followed in which the principal topics of conversation were the reasons for congratulation one mad in living in sunny Arizona.
