such an examination is made.
THE first and most important

Mrs. H. M. Morris, chairman of
the Permanent Work Committee of
the Washington Zonta Club, reports
that several applications for loans
from the clubs revolving fund have
been received this fall.
One of the principal club projects
is this fund from which loans are
made to women of proven ability in

sion or in preparation for executive
positions. Thus far the club has
awarded loans totaling more than
$4,000 to 81 ambitious young
women.
More money has been loaned to
women wishing to advance them
selves in the medical profession than
in any other field. Aid has also been
given to young women for study Of
teaching, nursing. home economics,
journalism, library science and cera-
mics. Repayment of loans by the
borrowers makes 1t a revolving fund
The fund Is built up from a per-
centage of membership dues and is
supplemented by benefits sponsored
by the club.

Oct. 7 Meeting Set
Bv Woman's S Club
Of Silver Spring

The Silver Spring Woman's Club
will hold it's first fall meeting on
october 7 at the Jessup Blair Com
munity Center, Georgia and Alaska
avenues. There will be sessions at
1890 am. and 1870 pm.
Leaders of the club believe that
among new residents who have come
to Silver Spring there are many
who have been active in club work
and civic affairs in other COM
munities and who seek medium
through which to make a contrlbu-
ton to their new community. The
club, therefore, is inviting into Its
membership women who have been
members in clubs elsewhere.
Increasing demands on women
time and transportation difficulties
have forced the club to adopt new
plan for meetings. Programs OF the
various departments will be pre-
sented on the DAY of the regular
monthly meeting, the first Wednes-
day of each month. Some depart
ments, however, such as the art
and sewing departments, need addl-
tional meetings in order to carry out
their programs. It is hoped thai
all departments will have few
additional meetings in the homes o.
members to further the social life
of the groups.
