State Federation Convention of Won.
ems Clubs

Among interesting facts stated at a
recent meeting of the Cliffside Park
Woman's Club by the delegate, Mrs.
William Heaton, were the following,
which should be of interest not only
to club women but to other residents.
Six girls have been helped in col
lege. The Browsing Room" in the
Woman's College in New Brunswick
(both of these secured through the
clubs of the Federation) "is used ev-
cry hour of every day. so states the
dean, Mrs. Douglass. This, the only
woman's college in the State, opened
with 50 students and now numbers 354
students. There is to be drive" the
first week in November for the college
fund
Thirty-five new clubs were admitted
into the Federation at this meeting,
and the number of members during
the last three years has increased
from 25,500 women to 10000 num-
Der to be reckoned with.
Eight hundred women from New
Jersey attended one art exhibit in
New York to which they were invited
by the state chairman, Mrs. A. Allen.
The prize for the best art work done
during the year was awarded to
Moorestown, the second to Jersey
City Woman's Club, both prizes being
fine paintings.
The addresses of the educational
chairman and DR.. George D. Streyer of
Columbia, the highest educational au-
thority in the United States, were de-
voted largely to the unequal distribu-
ton of school moneys, raised by taxa
ton, the taxes from the railroads being
diverted to pensions, buildings, ETC.,
instead of to the schools, and the
taxes in counties levied on the basis
of ratables, the poorest method, for
thus rich county, large, but with few
children, receives more than a poor
county with many children.
The problem is a deep one. The
suggestion is that a direct personal
tax be levied California pays 65 per
England so per cent, and New Jersey
35 per cent per capita, our state being
the fifteenth in per capita expenses.
"An educated person is used to as
sociating with ideas and is not sur
prised when she finds herself with a
new one"
'sThe Woman's Club is group of
organized women in every community,
who can be depended on for aid in
every movement for the betterment
of the community"

He made no comment as he signed

convention law was submitted by
Farmer-Labor members and passed
the senate with only one opposing
vote. In the future elections will be
held as they were prior to 1921 with
out a party convention.
Another bill signed by the governor

IN ROBBERS LOOT
SECURITIES LACK NAMES OF
FEDERAL BANK OFFICIALS To
MAKE THEM GOOD.

st. Louis, April 6.-Bonds of the
St. Louis federal bank amounting to
S2,139,OO0 were in the loot obtained
by five bandits who last Monday morn
ing held up mail truck in the heart
of the downtown business section here
according to information obtained to-
day by the st. Luis Post-Dispatch.
The bonds, printed in Washington,
were being sent to the bank here.
They lacked the signature of the vice
president and secretary of the bank,
but postal authorities believe the
bandits would not hesitate to forge
these signatures, the Post-Dispatch
says.
Bonds Identified.
The stolen land bank bonds were in
number and denomination as follows:
10 of $40; 20 of $100; 500 of $1,000;
25 of $4,000; $50 of $4,000, and 25 of
$500.
The total of other bonds taken, it
was learned by the Post Dispatch,
was approximately $225,0OO of which
S81, ,250 at least were negotiable.
1t also was learned that shortly be-
fore the holdup of the armored truck,
10 pouches of registered mail, con-
tanning many valuable packages for
large downtown banks and trust COM
paies, were delivered at Central post
Office, and the bandits thus missed
these pouches. They obtained nine
pouches of registered mail.
