Mrs. Pattangall
Talks to. Gardiner
| WOmen'S Club

Mrs. William r. Pattangall OF
Augusta addressed the members OF
the Gardiner B. p. w. Club oat their
regular meeting last evening, taking
as her topic women in Politics.
She prefaced her remarks By giving
the definition of politics as the scie-
ence of government, a much more
dignified title than mere politics.
She especially urged the members
Of the club to manifest their ap-
prevail of any bill before the legis-
lature or congress by writing to
their representative of congressman
rather than by simply having the
club pass resolutions of approval
She pointed out the advantage that
could be gained by active individual
work for any cause of which the
club approved.
In advising course of study for
the winter she gave q list of topics
that were of current interest and
suggested having some well known
speaker come to the club and present
his views either for or against the
subject. The subjects suggested
were Americas entry into the World
Court, Maternity bill, Child Labor
bill, Primary bill, Milk bill, Social
Hygiene and the study If taxes, this
latter subject being divided into
four groups, property, income, inheri-
lance and intangible property.
In mentioning each of the above
she gave brief timely talk on the
meaning Of each, and her ideas were
most enlightening to many of the
members present. Mrs. Pattangall is
keenly interested in all. of these SUBJ
jects and succeeded in instilling dep
intrest in the minds Of her hearers.
Mrs. Edna Lander presided at the
meeting at which there wa a large
attendance. An invitation was ac-
cepted from the Waterville club to
attend their meeting on the evening
of November 10th and quite few
members manifested their intentions
of attending this meeting. The COM
mittee in charge being Miss Alice d.
w. White and Mrs. Rachel Crane.
