There seems to be quite little in

! learn about the Roosevelt Memorial,
! and the part the Federated Clubs in
the state are expected TO take in the
purchasing of the Roosevelt birth
place for a memorial. This is not an
undertaking of the General Fedora

present this matter to the women of

tradition. For several years a treaty
with Great Britain has been pending, }
making desertion or non-support of !
wife or children an extraditable Of
tense as between the United States
and Canada, and this treaty has the I
support of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs.
The war interferred with the push
ng thru of this measure, but in jan
larry, 1917, the treaty was duly sign
ed ana submitted to the senate for =
ratification. :
Some objection was raised by the
chairman of the subcommittee to Z
which the treaty was referred. who

orty states include the wife with
