May Organize Humane Society
Mrs. Steele talked regarding the
matter of organizing a humane society
on Maui, after which there was some
discussion of the need of such a
society here. The matter was finally
referred to the civic improvement com
mittee to report on at the next meet
ing.
There was also considerable dis
cussion regarding the flying of alien
flags, and this matter was finally re-
ferred to the educational committee.
Following this there was a talk by
Misc lido Wood pf hor vnorionpnc at
mainland Chatauquas in which she
gave a synopsis of some of the lee
lures she attended. Perhaps the most
interesting of these, at least to the
housekeepers, was the one regarding
the community kitchen and how it is
successfully operated in Evanston, Ill.
Hear Soldier Talk
Lieutenant Villiers then held his
listeners spellbound for some time by
giving a very realistic description of
life at the front.
1t was not always so gruesome, he
declared. There were times when it
was so quiet that the COWS had to be
chased from in front of the cannon
before they could shoot and when the
boys could eat luscious ~blackberries
while they operated the big guns.
And even though the mud was so
deep in places that it came to their
necks, and some times the men had
to be pulled out with ropes, still ever
that had its compensations for the
bombs would sink so deeply in the
stuff that the force of the shock was
lost before reaching the surface, and
in this way thousands of casualties
were avoided. 1t was possible to be
very comfortable, he said, in their
dugouts heated by stoves made of oil
drums and biscuit tins.
Visitor Urges Citizenship Work
Following Lieut.. Villiers' address a
visitor from Southern California, Mrs.
Chas. o. Hansen, made a Short talk
in which she urged the ladies to make
the first object of the Woman's Club
the Americanization of it's citizens,
which she considered of primary i'm.
portance at this time. Having had
much experience in women's clubs
and community welfare work, a longer
talk by Mrs. Hansen would no doubt
have been very entertaining and in
%structive had there been time for it.
Mrs. Jack London was also a guess
of the club and after the meeting ad
journed a small reception was held 81
that the members might have the op
p%ortunity 10 meet Mrs. Jack London
Miss Wood and Mrs. Hansen.
At the close of the meeting Mrs
Bowdish announced that Robt. A. jude
had secured six speakers to lecture "a
different times under the auspices O.
the American Citizenship Committed
of the Maui Aid Association. Thi,
