When that | interest veered to the traditional | concerns of women—the home, chil- dren and food for the family—the women were ready with facts, sta- tistics and a willingness to work. | ‘Through cities and counties tms‘ year women's clubs have nnmed‘ representatives to consumers’ coun- | cils, uncovering facts on the ccst.s‘ of food. Armed with the facts they | went back to their groups and | spread the information. In several | instances lower prices have re- | sulted to the consumer, and that | means to the housewife who must | administer the family budget. Government cooperates Previously, women's groups have worked for such advantages in iso- lated communities, but now they are getting cooperation from the federal government through the consumers’ counsel of AAA, which issues the “Consumers’ Guide,” a bi-weekly shopping schedule which has reached a circulation of 50,000 during the year. | The study of prices led to the, study of milk. An army of women volunteers made a survey of 59 cities to find that milk consump-, tion was alarmingly under health needs. It was the first such survey made in this country and resulted in a drive now being waged to give each child at least a pint of milk a day. \ Child Labor Amendment ‘The General Federation of Wom- en’s Clubs, parent-teacher associa- tions, nurses’ associations, the busi- { ness and professional women's clubs are concentrating on the drive and | cooperating with local health agen- cles and school boards. Meanwhile, the child labor| amendment still is going the round of state legislatures seeking the ratifications it needs to become a federal law. Here again women's clubs are serving as & major edu- | eational medium to acquaint vot- with the provisions of the bill| and the evils at which it is aimed. | Ratification is hoped for next year. Not satisfied with working for| the national bill, the clubs, led by #be National League of ‘Women Woters, have hammered at state child labor laws, raising the age .

Pushed Arms Probe | Several women's organizations | have specialized on individual is- sues. For instance, credit for the pres- ent senate investigation of the mu- nitions industry has been given to the Women's International League for Peace and Preedom. It had the original resolution introduced in the senate, and then campaigned over the country to aid its passage. ‘The league also sent its cam- paign director, Mabel Vernon, to Geneva, where she led the work to place a women’s equal nationality rights treaty on the program for the next session of the League of | Nations. The General Feaeration of Wom- en’s Clubs is cooperating with the United States Bureau of Standards | in work which it hopes will make it | easier for the woman who must | merchandise staples as hose, gloves, | hope eventually to insist on goods marked for grades. Through the work of the Intér- American commission ' of ' women, led by Doris Stévens, the women of the United States and Chile now have equal nationality rights. A treaty approving such legislation was passed in December, 1933, at the Pan-American conference af Montevideo. The United States ratified in May of last year, and Chile in July. - eee— ATTENTION WOMEN OF MOOSE Regular meeuny [Thursday night at 8 oclock at Moose Hall. All members urged to attend.

She smiled ruefully in mem- ory and told how Betty Gow held the golden haired baby aloft at the window so he could smile and wave to Mrs. Lindbergh when she re- turned from the walk.
