BY SUSAN IDEN

With January well out Of the
way with its ice and snow, though
February may be just as bad. the
Women's clubs Ut the state are
rounding up their programs for the
year looking toward the grand eli.
MAJ Of the years work at the meet
ing Of the state convention in
Greensboro May 1, 2, 8. Many OF the
ZONE m planning o to attend
the convention realizing that their
success as leaders depends on work,
willingness and the information and
inspiration they receive at the state
and district meetings. AT the con-
ventions the club women are given
the opportunity of not only acquir-
ing information but the privilege of
developing acquaintance. and find
ing a chance to serve the communi-
ty in participation in club affairs.
Among the matters that the clubs
must look to at this time are club
dues that must be sent to Mrs. P.
R. Rankin, of Mt. Gilead, club
treasurer, and The payment OF the
Sallie Southall Cotton. Loan fund
and the Foundation Fund.
A second matter of Importance
to be attended to before the conven-
ton is the suggestion to be sent in
by the individual clubs to the state
chairman, Miss Alice ]. Upchurch,
Of a flower for the general fedora
ton emblem. The club women have
not attended to this matter as we'll
as Miss Upchurch would like: All
you have to do is to have your
club suggest a flower giving reasons
for its fitness as the emblem of the
general federation of Women's
clubs. These suggestions are to be
sent to the district chairman who
in turn will pass them on to the
state chairman, Miss Upchurch.
From these suggestions each state
will offer a flower candidate and
from these candidates the choice
will be made. Miss Upchurch must
have the suggestions in her hands
hy February 10 and the three out
standing selections will go to the
final judges for the selection of one
for the national honor.
Another event of interest is the
selection of the Pioneer club wom-
IN. One OF the main detectives of
the Golden Jubilee is to honor the
women who made it possible to have
such a wonderful organization as
the general federation Of Women's
clubs. Surely every club, Of district
and state will want to honor their
W pioneers in 1910 and to have
the three outstanding pioneers from
their state honored in tho Trienrial
in Atlantic City in 1871.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
DELEGATE BONUS
Dixie Wins Compromise
Which Will Also Bene-
fit Northern States

CHICAGO, July 12.-R-The
south claimed a liberal reward for
party regularity and for giving up
the two-thirds nominating rule but
won only a democratic convention
delegate bonus compromise today
which would benefit the north as
well.
After a hot fight the national
committee adopted a sub commit
tee recommendation that each state
going democratic in a presidential
election be given one additional
delegate-at-large to future conven-
tons, or five instead of the present
four.
District representation, now two
for each congressman,
would not be changed. The report
is subject to approval by the con-
vention rules committee.
The sub committee, headed by
Senator Green Of Rhode Island,
won after a substitute offered by
Gov. E. D. Rivers of Georgia, call
ing for a more liberal bonus and
penalties against northern districts,
was defeated.
The Rivers proposal would have
given three additional delegates at
large to each state going demo-
cratic, one delegate to each con-
gressional district, and n addl-
to districts electing demo-
cratic members of the House or
casting at least 5000 votes for
the democratic candidate.

by H. H. Wells of Florida, granting

MOVE TO DESTROY
ARMS TRUCK FAILS
Fire Breaks Out In Fence
Around Giant Secret
Military Vehicle

LOS ANGELES, July 12-R-An
apparent attempt to. destroy a new
giant secret military truck failed to-
day.
Fire broke out early this morning
in a high board fence behind which
the colossal machine was kept under
guard after a strenuous four months
test by army engineers at Fort Nc
Arthur.
Officials Of the Trojan Truck COM
PAW said two men fled from the
vicinity of the nearby office. They
expressed belief the fire was started
to decoy the watchmen and make
possible theft of the truck plans as
well as to destroy the truck.
c. D. Juneau, a company spokes-
man, said the truck, powered by a
marine diesel engine and driven at
IS miles an hour by II rear wheels,
was capable of carrying a cotton load.
AS wide as an ordinary street, 1t was
planned to carry tw osix-inch anti
tank guns.

agents began checking the circum-
stances of the fire.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-(AP)
Almost every official except
President Roosevelt appeared to
be willing tonight to ack-

would consent to be drafted by
the democratic convention, now
only three days away.
But Mr.. Roosevelt's semi.
weekly sparring with reporters
at his press conference produc-

was not going to the Chicago
convention and a studied contin-
uation of his silence on that
burning political question:
Will he Or won't he agree to

He did say he expected to

Move Into The Field

WASHINGTON, July 12-tR-sA
decision to call about $4,000 ma
tional guardsmen to camps as soon
as possible for perhaps a years
intensive training was reached to-
day by President Roosevelt and his
new secretary of war, Henry L.
Stimson.
The decision is contingent upon
approval by congress which would
have to authorize the unprecedent-
ed peace time step. The authority
will be asked when congress re-
convenes after the democratic IA
tional convention.
Stephen Early, presidential Sec
rotary, announced the decision and
said that four divisions, seven anti
aircraft regiments, and an undeter-
mined number of harbor defense
regiments would be called.
One From Carolinas
One division, he said, will come
from New York and New Jersey,
a second from Tennessee and the
Carolinas, a third from New Mexi-
CO, Oklahoma, Arizona and Colo.
RADIO, and the fourth from Oregon,
Washington, Montana and Idaho.
Once their training is completed,
he said, consideration will be CIV

training to other guard units.
The training will be designed to
familiarize the guardsmen with
modern weapons and military
practices and is expected also to
fit them for training the thousands
