NEW FORK, Oct. 31 Effici. ency is becoming the watchword of women's organizations and in their efforts to attain this goal even rival groups are cooperating
 Leaders of the most influential. women's clubs of this country have agreed to discuss ways and means to avoid duplication of ef- fort. At present, many of them have programs concerning well fare of women and children, poli- tics, junior education and gen eral cultural activities of women, which though interesting and valuable are repetitious.
 Delegates from 34 organizations comprising the National Council of Women of the United States will attend the 14th annual con vehtion at which its president. Haleria H. Parker Of New York. predicts cooperative pro gram will be adopted. The meet ings are to be held at the Wal dorf Astoria Hotel from Decem- Der 5 to 10. More than 200 wo- men from all parts of the United States will assemble.
 At time when sinister forces are endeavoring to create suspi- cion and antagonism between cit izens of differing races and re ligious faiths," says Dr. Parker, the National Council of Women of the United States has an im- portant duty to fulfill in binding more closely the women of it's many large and powerful organi- cations. We want them to see the possibilities of an association which, without interference Tn specific programs and activities offers nevertheless, a clearing house for a comparison of the accomplishments and for the pre- vention of duplication of effort
 The convention plans three subjects as keynotes of the dis cussion. They are, the importance and activities of the Children Bureau; contributions towards the welfare and progress of our coun- try made by women in forty years of organization, and the aftermath of the Mississippi valley fool and it's relation to family welfare
 The evening sessions of the conference will be of interest to the general public. On December 9th there will be a Presidents night meeting when the follow ing club presidents will speak;
 Dr. Mary F. Woolley, American Association of University Women; Mrs. John D. Sherman.
