or their functioning will cease. There is no greater question today before women. and men as we'll. than to find the road to peace. Women's clubs have a chance. here in the worlds most hopeful nation, to find that way. I think women are going to consider their share of the responsibility more seriously" Mrs. Martha H. Tingey. Mormon president or the Wound Ladies' Mu- tual Improvement Associations:
 "Women's clubs are the intellec- tual fertilizer of American home life. They are making mothers l more understanding and intelligent and I hope will continue insulting in them an appreciation Of their community and it's needs that the
 home woman of a generation ago could never have known" Dr. Katherine Bement Davis. of the National Women's Medical As- sociation:
 "All women's clubs now stand for the solution of social problems, each for that type of thing that is nearest it's heart. Educators will continue working for education. medical folk, like myself, for health. and go on. Women's clubs will have the same large purpose, worked out individu- ally"
 Dr. Valeria II. Parker. president of the National Council of Women: Gone are the days of womans andiclps-education social, pro- | fessional and even sartorial. We should now forget ourselves and our past handicaps and accept the re- responsibilities given Us by our un- precedented freedom and prosperity to contribute to the promotion of world civilization, Gone, too, are the days of segregation Of women. Womens clubs now are planning programs to deepen women's inter ests in civic affairs and public serv- ice alongside of men. By their pow erful organizations, women of all faiths many races and widely di- verse interests. now work in con- cert for measures that affect the protection of human welfare and interests. They are groNn-up and out in the world of men ready for action"
 
 Miss Belle Sherwin. president of the National League of Women Voters:
 "Women are not yet ready 10 work in mixed civic groups. De spite their much talked-of freedom and equality. they should work alone until they understand fully their power and their weaknesses. The exceptional woman Of today should give other women the ad- vantage of her intelligence and leadership. working with them in women's clubs. instead of being buried in politics."
 Mrs. Frank Shuler. co-author with Carrie Chapman Cat ot History Of Woman Suffrage:
 Women have feared being too ac- tive. fearing disapproval by their husbands. fathers and so on. Now they are developing confidence and can stand together. now. as so many 1 people. forgetting their sex" to1 n
 of the General Federation of Wo-
 mems Clubs:
 "Women's clubs have backed practically every movement for the improvement of conditions in their cities and country. They are. there
 fore. indispensable to the life of | their communities. By gradually learning more Of basic aspects of government. women will be ready
 to work with men on all questions.
 They are taking up civic glatters, education and industrial reform in | increasing numbers''
 Miss Mary Garrett Hay, eminent I feminist:
 Women's clubs have graduated l from the seminary-ed class
 out into the world of cooperation with men. They should stand with them on such questions as Law En-
 forcement. think women's clubs
 will not be apathetic if there's a call for action"
