NM WITH OUR WOMEN--The Idea
Y Back of Won1en's Club Organization

Womens' clubs, those OF the 4 II are
divided into different departments. There
are garden clubs. calf clubs, pig clubs,
sheep clubs, sewing clubs. canning clubs
baking clubs, and others, all inspired by
the one purpose Of interesting the children
in city and country, In the work about
them.
But five members are required to form q
club, and this makes IL possible TO have
clubs OF this kind in even the smallest
not alone to work comparatively along the
lines of their club, but many things be-
sides. Well trained instructors superintend
their operations, and teach them eff
cheney in what they undertake. The de-
partments are united under one head. and
prizes are offered for those who excel In
any department..
The 4 Fl clubs came TO fill a crying need,
belonging to modern times. and In Il
modern way. The children of the pioneers,
gained similar knowledge by force Of ne
cessity, and through working with their
elders. This was before the present indus
trial age WAS fully installed throughout
this country. Then every farm was a fac
tory, wherein all the members of a family
were the operatives. They rose early, and
worked late. The girls were taught to
weave, spin, sew, wash, bake, and all
that went to the care OF a household; and
the boys learned agriculture, literally from
the round up.
If1i Al IL IA ahV'AF athhthS tAt To-
of spinning and weaving was past in

were other children, TO learn to knit and

Now the children's teachers are not those
of their own household, but experts from
the Agricultural Colleges.

ONE POUND OF
COAL TO HAUL

Energy released by one pound
of coal burning under the boiler
of a modern locomotive is suffi-
cient to carry human being
nearly 100 miles, according to
George Mccormick, general sup
erintendent of motive power for
Southern Pacific.
Locomotives, as indicated by
records compiled for the last year
by the Glass / roads, have be-
come so relatively efficient that
two and one-half ounces of coal,
or it's equivalent in fuel oil, will
generate steam power suffl-
Gent 90 move one ton one mile.
'sThis is equivalent, McCor-
mick said, "to carrying a l5O
pound man 100 miles on one
pound of coal. But as car equip
ment, weighing on an average
1850 pounds for each Pullman
passenger and $500 pounds FOL
every coach passenger, also must
be hauled at like fuel expendl,
