W0men's Federation
Weighs Two Questions.
Special interest is being shown tn
the meeting Of the District of Colum-
bia Federation Of Woman's Clubs at
10 am. tomorrow at the Roosevelt
Hotel. because of two measures to be
considered. One Is whether the Dis
trict Federation will ask the General
Federation of oWmens Clubs to in
dorse a resolution asking national
suffrage for the District. The General
Federation has already accepted the
question for study, but the local group
must ask further Endorsement before
q resolution can be approved. Al
though the matter may come before
the General Federation Board meet
ing to be held next month In WASH
ington, decisive action must await
the May meeting of the Federation In
Kansas City.
1t is thought probable the action
by the D. c. Federation will be favor
able to the further consideration Of
District suffrage. as most Of the mem
Der clubs taking action have instruct
ed their delegates to vote for the
movement. However. two of the clubs
have opposed it and several have not
yet decided what position to take.
The other question to be considered
Is the election Of q director to I'LL the
unexpired term Of Mrs. Harvey w.
Wiley. Two names have been men,
toned for this position. Mrs. w. w.
Husband and Mrs. Howard L. Hod9-
kins.
A musical program will be presented
under the direction Of the president
Of the Rubenstein Club, Mrs. Leon
Truesdell. The artists will be Miss
Frances Fallon. soprano and Miss
Connie Truesdell, violinist. both Of
whom will be accompanied by Mrs.
Truesdell. Miss Phoebe Stine, presi-
dent of the Capitol Hill History Club,
will also sing. She will be accom-
panied by Fulton B. Carr. Mrs. Lloyd
Biddle, president of the Federation,
will preside at the meeting.
