Birmingham will have a Woman's Departmental club if plans of the Axis club are carried out. While this organization is very young, members at the meeting yesterday expressed themselves as being heart fly in favor of a movement to make this organization the nucleus of a big woman's club in this city.
 The Axis, formed several months ago by wives, daughters and unmar- ried sisters of Rotarians. will con- tinue as an organization without any affiliations or connection with any other club.
 Two amendments to the constitu tion were unanimously adopted al the meeting and are as follows: Any woman resident of the Birmingham destrict shall be eligible for mem bership in the Axis club. Such d candidate must be proposed in writ ing by a member in good standing and indorsed by two members in good standing"
 The other amendment is as fol- lows: ITO create and sustain greater civic consciousness. to en- courage and stand sponsor for the work being done for women and girls"
 Mrs. Angus Taylor. president of the organization. gave some interest ing facts regarding the Woman's club of Louisville. Ky, which was re- ceived with enthusiasm.
 Dr. Edith Robe made a short talk on the Boston Womens Civic club, in which she stated that organization had a membership of more than 5000 women and a long waiting list. There are no restrictions on the member ship, only a member has to be spon- sored by two other members in good standing, she said, and women from every walk in life compose the mem bership. This club has accomplished many things since 1t was started seV- eral years ago and has filled long felt want among the women of that city, she stated. It has benefited the members individually and collect lively, Dr. Robe stated, and in addi- ton to opening up many paths to women that have heretofore been closed, It has benefited the city of Boston in many ways.
