21st.
There Is quite an Interesting bit
of sentiment connected with the

blrthlny. In Temple sixteen years
ago was held the First District con-
vention ever held, federation hav-
ing been divided Into districts dur-
ing the administration of Mrs. Per-
cy V. Pennybacker. The Temple
woman who was sponser-in-chlef for

she is to again be an active partici-
pant. Mrs. M. W. Rimms of Bryan,
who presided over the First District
meeting will respond to the addreas-
es of welcome. Mm. Pennybacker
win give an addres*. Aside from
these Interested from an anniver-
sary standpoint, our 8tate president,
Mrs. Fleming, will tell of the Bi-
ennial council which she attended
last week In New Orleans.
Temple has come back to us with
seven live clubs joining as a city
federation. Through the courtesy
of Mrs. C. L. Myers of the Homes

Program committee, and their as-
sistants, we are assured of a royal
welcome to that enterprising little
city. All district chairmen, mem-
bers of the ex-board, pre«ldents and
one delegate from each club, are to
be entertained and those who have
not done bo should send their

The program, aside from the top-
ics mentioned above, haa several In-

sion", the chief features aa la re-
quired by the constitution. The
social feature* planned by the Tem-
ple women will be charming oppor-
tunities for seeing old friends and

experience that enables Texas wom-
en to work In such complete har-
mony for the betterment of our
state.

London. March so (by mall)—
After a two-year duel with poverty,
Mr*. Charlotte Jenkins. member of
a pioneer Minneapolis family, haa
managed to skewer the lean Spectre
of want to the old reliable knitting
needle.
The War Relief Knitting factory
which struggled into being aa a re-
sult of her initiative has become
self-supporting. Hereafter It will
eaaay to toddle along on U* own
financial support, though random
donations will not be discouraged.
Quaranteed aid from the economic
relief committee haa been with-
drawn.
To appreciate what Mr*. Jenkins
has done It Is necessary flr*t to un-
derstand Islington, the pooreat of
London's borough*, where an Amer-
ican woman has created an Institu-
tion solely to keep out of the poor
house poor but respectable old wom-
en. Thus knitting factory can hard-
ly be called an Infant Industry.
Islington's directory used to con-
tain a liberal sprinkling of noble
lords and such. Their mansions are
•till there, decayed and long since
deprived of their earlier grandeur.
For nmuy years Islington has been
the home of poor working people.
Nearly all Its women worked In
neighborhood factories making non-
essential wares. Theje rinsed when
war begun.
Mrs. Jenkins knew these women
included many Invalids and aged
women who couldn't possibly "go In
for tnuntlons," and who would wind
up their troubles in the poor house
unless someone did something.
She naked for $260 from the
American Women's War Relief
Committee and got H. Investiga-
tion showed a vigorous demand for
knit goods. Within a week the
knitting factory began In one room,
Willi a handful of feeble, underfed
old women making socks for sol-
diers.
Today the visitor finds the fac-
tory occupying an old mansion In
one of those gloomy little side-
streets.
The Minneapolis poverty strafer
sits at n desk with card Indexes
climbing the walls behind her. These
records, she explain*, are merely a
formality becauso she knows the
particular grief of every worker.
Upstairs In the workroom 5 knit-
ting machines hum and clatter on a
rush order for 300 little jer*ey* for
Belgian kids. But there are Rtlll
soldier* and refugee* partial to the
old fashioned handmade kind, so the
little old women seated around In
corners munoge to keep comforta-
bly busy.
"Every worker gets $2.50 for a
full weeks' work," said Mrs. Jenkins
today, "though Borne of the hand
workers are very slow and cannot
possibly earn that much, Wo serve
a good dinner for four cent* and
tea, free, so they'rtP able to get
along on their pay. Naturally,
their other expenses are light.
Hand-mado goods always sell at
a slight loss, hut this Is hiade up by
the large machine production.
"American friends have shipped
us bales of clothing, some of It as
good as new, which I distribute us
It Is needed. My mother even sent
money and clothing from Honolulu
Our friends are widely scattered.

Is a university graduate, the daugh-
ter of a mlnl*ter, who was left alone
when her brother went down on the
Titanic. She 1* nearly blind and
wear* the thickest glaases 1 ever
saw. Of course she cannot do much
work but sh^ls everlastingly trying
and that Is all that count*. Could

thing else. There are others in the
same fix."
From the National Food Fund
the factory recelvea meat, bread,
sugar, tea and butter. This make*
the 4-cent dinner possible. The
money pay* for vegetable* and milk.
Over 16,403 sweaters, pair* of
sock*, mitten* and children'* suit*
went to Belgium and France laat
year from the withered, toll-worn
hand* that proved so willing to
work when the chance came. Not
even scraps of wool were waated.

tal*.
The factory doesn't exactly throb
with Induatry. But thirty old and
forgotten *oul«, thirty bodies tossed
on the induatrlal scrap heat, are
kept out of the dire misery of an
English poor house.

To hear Judge Haggott give his
