ished and a safe means oi passage es-
tablished.

WOMEN'S CLUB OPENS.
Mrs. J. Tom Williams as President
Makes Notable Address on Work.
The club year is beginning in pro-
pitious style and much zest and enthus-
iasm is manifest among members who
are fast answering the calls of their re-
spective clubs and beginning club work
in earnest. It was a goodly crowd of
club women who filled the rooms of the
Woman's Club yesterday afternoon in
response to the first call of the season.
The new president, Mrs. J. Tom Wil-
liams, was in the ch.^ir, and presided
with grace and dignity. The president'.!
address to the club was a splendid fore-
cast of the year's work and what the
alms of tiie club will oe.
"The lirst attention oi .he club women
should be to the need;? of the home,"
was the highly commendable plan in
trier oi the new president.
Mrs. Williams reviewed the pure food
campaign as conducted by the clubs an i
sanitation in the homes, but the ever-
threatening servant question and the cost
of living are now the appeal ro the club
women. Mrs. Williams paid a prett/
tribute to the home and its sac-redness,
which is greatly endangered by the pres-
ent servant question. "Our old-fashioned,
comfortable domestic service is fast dy-
ing out," the said. "The demand far
rxceeds the supply. I'rider the new or-
der of things you really advertise for a
person who will engage to come and
try the place to see whether she is
pleased with you.
"Now good wages and considerate
treatment are prune factors to hold
'help,' but we know that in spite of
thes* considerations we 'lose' our 'help.'
There must be a reason for this. If
girls prefer almost any kind of labor to
domestic service,, there must be a sore
spot in our bony domestic. Jt devolves
upon club women, therefore, to make a
cerious investigation of the conditions
under which these women work and
support themselves and consider them-
sJJves happy.
Not for a moment should we relin-
quish our altruistic efforts, and not for
a moment would we bound the horizon
of the modern woman by only the In-
terests that concern her. Si'ccjrss to
woman's club work, say we, wherever
we find it good, but it Is time for organ-
ized fvonianhcod to get a sense of values
and put tlie home and help question on
a par with altruistic questions.
"Apartment houses and co-operative
schemes have tailed to solve tho problem,
en tho contrary the present struggle
to readjust the running gear of the
household threatens the very existence
of 'home,' and what substitute will over
satist.v the home-ioving woman whose
husband and children expect her above
all things to be a home-maker?
"Let; us glance for a moment, at the
charm of our inner club life. One strik-
ing feature of this body of women »s
our g<»od comradeship. 'Not for self, but
for all' do we stand, verily; a no not
upon one woman, but upon all will our
year's success depend.
"We are to be congratulated upon the
excellent programs outlined in our new
year book. The various committees
(Including the board of directors! and
the study classes will supplement the
departmental programs with work, so
that no woman in this club need b? Idle.
It is hoped on the contrary that ©vary
member will regard herself as a com-
mittee of one to inspire club zeal."

liams, alternate, were unanimously
elected to attend the State Federation

carpenter. L.ater ne started to catchins
rattlesnakes for a living, but this busi-
ness did not pay large enough dividends

career of crime. Small thefts awake.iel
In them a desire to steal larger thing*.
