WOMEN ADOPT
!. CLAUSE ON
DISCIPLINE
Twentieth Century Club
Amends Constitution After
Lively Discussion.

After a lively discussion. the
CLAUSE on discipline, amending the
constitution of the Twentieth Cen
fury Club, was passed by an over
whelming vote today.
Mrs. Eugene Stevens took the
chair just before the motion to
hear the amendment was in order.
She kept the discussion down to
two-minute speeches. She would
allow no demonstration and no
speaker was permitted to speak
more than once.
Mrs. Brooks, retiring recording
secretary, author of the clause, de-
Tended it, saying that she was OPP
posed to 1t at first, but that she
was now in favor of it. She said
that the board had approved 1t
unanimously and that 1t was a
method of self-protection for the
club for the future.
Opposes Clause.
Mrs. U. s. G.. Pierce opposed the
clause strenuously
''If there is any fern1ent in the
club we should air it openly" che
said. ut would cause a hint of
suspicion in the club, and I am
thoroughly opposed to it."
Mrs. David White stood for the
clause, saying that it would pro
tect the club from the spirit OF
unrest and lax morale.
Mrs. Swormstedt approved the
clause. She said that the club had
had a member who was elected dur
ing a drive, and was only a tran.
sient. Before her credentials could
be established she was found to
be using club stationery for ques.
tlonable purposes and that her bust
ness relations were found to be
discreditable.
She was removed for delinquency
In dues, it was said. Had she been
in good standing, she would have
remained. This clause provides for
such like emergencies, she said.
Text of Clause.
The clause in question reads
Disciphne-Any member conducting
herself in way calculated to dis
turb the harmony Of the club OF
to impair its good name may be
reprimanded or suspended by the
Executive Board. But she may not
be suspended until she has beer
