Needs and Conditions at
Home Will Get Atten-
tion of Now That War
Activities No Longer
Demand Co-Operation
of These Active Folk.
A FTER a long period of activities
along lines other than those usually
prescrib-J for the normal club life,
the clubwomen of San Antonio are
once more to take up questions of to-
day and the morrow.
Conditions brought about by the
stern demands and realities of war.
These women have given their time
and their money without murmur, and
now the time has come for them to
reckon with the conditions confronting
them in their own communities.
The giving that has been done so
liberally to the peoples overseas, flie
subscriptions vhich have been made in
every drive and requests will have to
be curtailed to some extent as the
home needs have been somewhat neg-
lected in the meanwhile.
The Woman's Club has planned to
ro on with the work, but in Its own
way. The day nursery which It will
■nnn«nr will be fulfilling one of the
commands of the humble Nazarene
when he said: "Suffer the little chi
dren to come unto me, for of such is
the kindom of heaven."
Mrs. John J. Stevens in making her
opening address to the members at the
first session of the club U'ednesdav
said that the nursery has been one of
the club's cherished ambitions, and
now it would be realized. The nursery
will also add another wedge in the
great Americanization work that is be-
ing inaugurated in the city through
the International Institute and
Americanization Council.
Tills National Issue will he one In which
nil of the clubs will be Interested more or
less, assurance of their co-eperiitlou Is
being given In all moves to further the
work of making real red blooded Ameri-
cans thereby obliterating for all time all
hyphenated Americans, the brand that is
Worse that the acknowledged alien.
The Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion and the Catholic Womnu'fi Association
are among the foremost In pledging for
this work, both organizations having at
rho have the good of their country and
fellow beings at heart. Mrs. II. I'. Drought
for the Catholic Women and Mrs. Floyd
MeOown for the Young Woman's Christian
Association.
The Council of Jewish Women will have
at Its head a new president, Mrs. Hannah
Hlrschberg having been elected In the
spring. Mrs. Ell Ilertitberg declining the
election again after many years at Its
head. This organization is accomplishing

and nutoiiiie of the foremost la ujl putrl-
The Council of Mothers, which Is a

dents <>{ local mothers dubs with Mrs.
Houston llrown, an well as the Ilexar
County Teachers' Association with Mrs.
A. n. Evans as Its president, will take su
active Interest In this newest and great
work, for the oft quoted phrase "A little
ehilit shall lend them," ts one of the surost
ways of reaching the parent.
The Woman's Club as the pioneer In the
field of clubdom has Just cause to feel
gratified at tlie large number of clubs and
their good results which have taken pattern
after It. It was to tlie luodest beginning

Fcuwlck referred In her talk at the open-
ing meeting of the Woman's Club Wednes-
day which was also a Joint celebration of

thing It was for wotneu to take up, of
course, It being the pioneer In such work
In the State.
Miss M. Kleanor Urackenrlilge was made

been extended to a life presidency. Miss
Kenwick said that a great amount of
credit was due Miss Urackenrlilge for the
manner In which she had built up the dub
and also for the manner In which the club
brought about many benefits to tlie city
and schools which would bare gone undone

women.
