GRAPEFRUIT FROM
ARIZONA ON MENU

Arizona grapefruit comprised the
first course of the breakfast menu
for President and Mrs. Harding
Christmas morning, it became known
here Yesterday. The fruit was the
gift of a Salt River valley grower,
Mrs. Jennie A. Darling.
Mrs. Darling, one of the presidents
ardent admirers. sent a box of her
choicest grapefruit TO the white house
as a Christmas gift. She picked the
fruit personally from her grove on
Camelback road. about four miles east
of Central avenue. 1t is known as
the Darling Ranch" The entire 40
acre tract is in grapefruit trees.
Excerpts from the letter received
from George b. Christian. Jr., sec
retary to the president, follows; :.
"The President has received your
letter of December 18th and the box
of grapefruit and he asks me to thank
YOU. very cordially for the courtesy
which you have been good enough to
extend to him. He is deeply ap-
preciative of your kindness in this
matter"

MRS. GUILD BACK
FROM FEDERATION
MEET At CHICAGO

Mrs. II. A. Guild returned yester-
day from Chicago where she attended
important meetings in her joint ca
pacity as auditor of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs and secre-
tary of the Arizona child welfare
board.
The meetings, which brought to-
gether a number of the foremost
women of affairs in the country, has
served as an inspiration to Mrs.
Guild to carry on the work here in
which she is vitally interested.
One of the chief matters of busi-
ness before the executive board of the
general federation was the selection
of a permanent home for national
headquarters, which resulted in the
purchase of the General Mills man
sion in Washington, d. c. The pur-
chase price Of the headquarters,
which is within a few blocks Of the
White House, was $4,000, while the
club. women are counting on an addi-
tional expenditure of $25,000 for fur
nishings and few minor alterations.
'According to Mrs. Guild the entire
amount will be contributed by indi-
vidual clubs and clubwomen through
voluntary donations.
'It is not our intention OF assess
ing any organization. but that every
penny that goes into the headquarters
be donated freely. No quotas will be
assigned the different states-it will
be entirely up to the clubs and the
clubwomen to do as they wish about
the matter"
Mrs, Guild said that splendid plans
are being made for the biennial con-
ventlon which will be held in Chau-
tauqua, H., in June. The nine days
session, she hopes, will attract a full
delegation from Arizona such as 1t
had at Des Moines two years ago. AS
member of the executive commit
tee she will be present at the meet
ing, which will be presided over by
the president, Mrs. Thomas G. Winter.
Mrs. Winter contributed much TO
the success of the board meeting in
Chicago, one of the most interesting
sessions being that at which she told
of her experience as member OF the
advisory board at the disarmament
conference. Mrs. Winter was also
one of the speakers at the reception
and dinner given the board by the
Chicago Woman's club.
After the board meeting adjourned
Mrs. Guild attended the Child We'll
fare conference held at the Elizabeth
Mccormick memorial hall. presided
over by Mrs. Ida Couch Wood, its
president, and chairman of the child
welfare department Of the state fed
Grafton of clubs.
Mrs. Guild appeared on the pro-
gram outlining the Arizona law, in
which keen interest was shown. She
said she was questioned in detail rel
ative TO the law and the handling of
cases by the counties and state, the
consensus of opinion being that Ari-
zona was to be congratulated on not
having an antiquated institution to
break down but a new field Of en-
deavor.
