rather remarkable in philanthropic
endeavors.
More important still, however, the
club never forgot its aims to pro-
mote liberal thought and broad
philanthropy"
Though, until 1922, it was NOM
inally under auspices of the ALL
Souls Church, where it held it's
meetings for many years, the club,
from its inception, welcomed women
Of al denominations.
In the early days, when the group
averaged from 30 to so members,
discussions among themselves of
topics in which they were interested
proved to be a source of real infor-
nation and were feature members
regretted to see pass.
"The discussions were we'll worth
listening to- Mrs. Brooks declared,
land the remarks were always sin
cere, earnest and without rancor."
The organization grew rapidly,
however, and several years ago
found it necessary to limit it's men,
0CAS W oOO
Though the Twentieth Century
Club was never vitality concerned
with the woman's suffrage move
ment, its members, from the be-
ginning, rolled up their sleeves,
figuratively speaking, to attack situ-
ations they thought needed reform.
"We have been terribly disagree
able many times" Mrs. Smith re-
called with laugh. 1--WE have
bounded members of Congress and
once we secured an interview with
President Theodore Roosevelt-and
without difficulty either!"
Arouse Public Interest
In Specific Problem.
The tactics of the club have been
to arouse public interest in a spe-
ctfic problem, initiate a project as
q lever to its solution and then, If
possible, turn the project over to
the Government. Or in Mrs. Brooks
words: "The idea was to start things
with the expectation the Govern
ment would take it over"
For instance, in its famous milk
crusade, the club discovered that
analyses of milk sold in Washing
ton were on file at the public
health Office, but that the informa-
ton was not printed SO as to be
accessible to the general public.
"And there were startling facts
In those files" Mrs. Smith observed
In order to put the facts before
the public. the club had the analyses
printed and circulated. The re-
suits were wide interest in the re-
ports, marked improvement in the
milk and public funds for the print
ing of the records, which are still
available.
The club has long sought to have

has ever seen, to the serious circles

she is still extremely active.

Past President
OF Crittenton Home.
Mrs. Logan is a past president of
the Florence Crittenton Home,
where she stated she has met with
her saddest work in her varied ex-
periences as clubwoman. She is
past national secretary of the
Children Of the American Reyolu-
ton, has been chairman of the Fine
Art Department of the League of
American Pen Women, is q men,
ber of the Twentieth Century Club,
the George Washington Chapter of
Delphians, the Mary Bartlett Chap
ter of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, the P. E. o. Sister,
hood and is past president of the
Housekeepers' Alliance.
Over the sympathy and under
standing, which have contributed
largely to Mrs. Logan's success as
a leader among women, predomin-
ateS a keen sense of humor, which
is apparent in many of her remin-
iscences.
"One Of the most amusing ex-
periences have had" she recalled
was at a meeting attended many
years ago when Anna Shaw was
the speaker. She made a marvel
Gus address and I was so impressed
that when she finished, turned
to a woman at my side and said
enthusiastically, wasn't that a Won
derful speech?' The woman looked
at me rather blankly," continued
Mrs. Logan, and replied, "I didn't
hear word-all I noticed, was that
her petticoat showed"
Philosophically, with the wisdom
acquired through many years of ex-
perience, Mrs. Logan concluded
There are still many women just
like that; they never change; they
see only the externals and never the
Intervals which are worth while. ~

BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Presented with gavel which was
used In installing her as president
OF the Kings Daughters Of the State
Of Illinois IS years ago, Mrs. Ellis
Logan was launched on a career as
. clubwoman which has won her a
wide reputation as a leader and
organizer of feminine groups.
Washington soon became the scene
Of Mrs. Logan's activities and today
she is dean of presidents of the
District Federation of Women's
Clubs. Many of the local women's
groups also were organized through
her efforts, among these the Mari
eta Park Woman's Club, the Park
View Woman's Club, the Petworth
Woman's Club and the Beta Phi
Sorority.
Beneath towering trees at the
home where she resides with friend
In Chevy Chase, Mrs. Logan remi-
nisced over the years since the be-
ginning of the century when she
first became interested in women,
their problems and the unification
Of groups organized for furthering
the feminine cause.
The gavel given her in Chicago,
she said, had been made from the
pew in the church where, during
the famous Chicago fire in 1871, ex-
pectant mothers were carried and
cared for at the birth of their
babies.
"The gavel was made from the old
pew as a symbol of service to
Others" Mrs. Logan explained. 1T
has been the only one I have held
during my years of club service"
Was Early Supporter
OF Suffrage Cause.
AS the daughter of a progressive
Middle Western mother and a lib
eral and humane father, a doctor
Of medicine, Mrs. Logan early alb
sorbed advanced theories on woman's
place in the business, political and
civic life of the Nation. At her
home such women as Jane Addams
and Frances Willard were frequent
visitors and it was but natural that
she should have espoused the suf-
frage cause in its early days.
Observing her soft voice and her
strictly feminine appearance, it is
difi1cult to visualize Mrs. Logan
marching militantly down Pennsyl-
vania avenue 20 years ago to pre-
sent women's petition for national
suffrage to President Wilson.
She smiled as she told of the epi-
sode. Mrs. Harvey Wiley and
marched together" she said. Il
presented the petition to Mr.. Will
son, whom I knew personally, and
must admit he looked at me in q
most corrective way as he accepted
the paper"
Mrs. Logan's memories of Wash
ington go far beyond the days OF
suffrage and women's clubs. AS q
relative of President Hayes and OF
President Garfield she frequently
visited at the White House and was
also a. close friend of Mrs. Grover
Cleveland.
Mrs. Logan's interest in women is
not confined to their place in public
and social life. AS portrait painter
she finds in women's faces a con-
stant source of inspiration and
study. THE personality of women
interests me-" she said. II am in
terested in women. good, bad and
indifferent, and it has been a great
pleasure to see how women have re-
sponded to club work and the many
things they have achieved"

New Dish For Lenten
 Menus

Creamed tuna and asparagus is a most appealing suggestion for Lenten menus. It's delicious, color full, attractive to serve, and so easy to put together. The stalks of as- paragus are lined up in a shallow baking dish, the creamed tuna pour ed over and grated cheese sprinkled generously on top-then it's popped under the broiler until the cheese toasts to golden brown! Dreamed tuna and asparagus is one of those grand main dishes that can be made up on moments notice from your emergency shelf, too-for a can of tuna and a can of green asparagus are its chief in- gradients! Canned salmon or a small glass jar of chicken may be used in place of tuna for other pleasing variations.
 Creamed Tuna and Asparagus 1-2 tbsp. butter
 2 tbsp. flour
 cup liquid from asparagus, or water cup irradiated evaporated milk IA tsp. salt
 IA cups fiaked tuna q No. 1 flat
 can)
 No. 2 can green asparagus, or 20
 stalks fresh asparagus
 1-2 cup grated cheese
 Prepare white sauce of the but ter, flour, asparagus liquid and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Add tuna. Place asparagus in bot tom of heat-proof serving dish. Pour creamed tuna over asparagus, and sprinkle with grated cheese. Brown under broiling flame and serve at once. Yield: 6 servings.
 Creamed tuna and asparagus, made with concentrated irradiated evaporated milk is rich and creamy and full favored. Note that the liquid from the asparagus is used to dilute the milk. This means that all the savory flavor as well as the vegetable minerals and vitamins | are saved

Many of you have tried my monthly Star Recipes and found them entitled to the "Star." This month I have chosen an extremely simple recipe as my favorite - but with all its simplicity it surely is entitled to a place in the Hall of Recipe Fame.
 All you need are a few dried Lima beans and some butter or bacon fat. Follow the directions carefully and you'll have dish flavorous enough to place before your most particular guests - and healthful as well. Needless to say 1t is economical and exceptionally easy to prepare.
 Try this recipe while dried Limas with their proteins, carbohydrates and minerals, are in season. Inci- dentally, remember that these beans are exceptionally high in food value, and are an excellent alkaline reaction food .. BETTY BARCLAY

Perfect Scalloped Potatoes

Of all the vegetables, potatoes make the most frequent appearance on the American table. We'll liked, available all the year round, inexpensive = it's no wonder pota- toes figure prominently in our menu-planning. Besides being good, potatoes are good food! They provide starch which the body needs for warmth and activity, sup- ply some protein and iron, and are among the richest of the vegeta- bles in vitamin c.
 There are many ways of serving potatoes, but one of the most pop ular is to scallop them. To be good, scalloped potatoes should be cooked just so the potato siles are tender but not mushy and the sauce neither runny nor too thick. This method of preparing scalloped po- tatoes is very simple and produces the desired qualities. The potatoes cook to perfect tenderness in a sauce that's rich and creamy and of superb consistency.
 SCALLOPED POTATOES
 4 cups sliced raw potatoes
 l tablespoon butter
 ? tablespoons flour
 1-2 teaspoons salt
 Pepper
 cup irradiated evaporated milk
 and
 l cup water, mixed
 Place a layer of potatoes in a buttered baking dish. Dot with but ter, sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper. Repeat. Pour diluted milk over all. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F) until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.
 Tn preparing scalloped potatoes the use of irradiated evaporated milk assures a superbly smooth, creamy sauce and provides goodly amount of whole milk nutrients in combination with the needed sum- shine vitamin D. This nourishing dish can easly be made the main part of the meal by adding tidbits of ham, clipped beef, diced pork, sausage, or grated cheese.

Limas Angler

Limas Angler (Limas prepared by this Recipe are even more
 easily digested)
 2 cups dried Limas
 2 tablespoonfuls butter
 or bacon fat
 Soak Limas over night: then carefully slip the hulls off them (which is easily done). Place in cooking pan with only sufficient water so that after thirty to forty minutes cooking, the beans will be all but cooked dry. Add butter and other seasoning to taste. Cook preferably in heavy aluminium dish, kept tightly covered. This method will bring out the full nut-like flavor of the Limas.
