WOMEN E T0D TOSTUDYLAWS | Civil Service Knowledge| Would Bring Election Re- forms, Federation Hears. A study in primary and civil ser ice laws to form an intelligent b for election returns was recommended to the directorate of the General Fed- eration of Women's Clubs this morn- ing by Mrs. William R. Alvord of De- troit, chairman of the committee on American citizenship activities. The Midwinter board meeting, Wwhich is executive, will close tomorrow night. Sessions are being held at the federa- tion headquarters, 1734 N street. Personal observance of all laws, and an awakening of the responsibility of the individual to exercise the right of franchise, were urged by Mrs. Alvord, who made the point also that immi- grants should be studied and accepted o individuals, rather than in the | Goqry San Salvador and a number of mass, TN e 1 = . fastors e West_Virginia—Alderson, E.

In . she sald, several college re discovered on a list of 21 _persons cl d as illiterates. The directors are visiting the Bu- reau of Standards this afternoon, and will attend a reception tendered them by the Woman's National Democratic | committee in the evening. They will be 1cceived at the White House at noon tomorrow. The census should formally desig- nate housewives, rather than refer to millions of wives and mothers as “un- employed,” Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work told directors of the federation. . “I am in accord with the American clubwoman's view that the Govern- ment should give proper recognition in the Federal census to the Nation's “homemakers',” he said, “and na- tional legislation should not be neces- sary to obtain this right. Statistical data concerning the vocational status of women and home property is as es- sential to a clearer understanding of national economic conditions as is the data concerning iactories, commerce or finance. These women are ‘home- mak and also perform income service, either within or without the home. That gainful occupation should be indicated, as well as a record of housekeeping equipment, implying labor-saving devices.” Secretary Work commended the ef- forts of the federation in conducting a national survey to determine urban and farm home equipment, with the object of encouraging the installation of labor-saving housekeeping devices in the homes, thereby preserving the health and spirit of millions of women. n accordaice with the recommenda- tion of Mrs. John D. Sherman, presi- dent of the federation, advanced in her report earlier in the day, the ai- rectorate decided upon a foundation 10 make possible its better citizenship program. It was decided to raise $4,- 000.000. conducting the campaign on a State basis, each State expending within itself half of the sum raised. Carelessness. A coroner’s jury at an inquest this afternoon found that Dennis A. Me- Inerney, 38, of 721 Third street north- east, who died at Emergency Hospital from a fracture of the skull late yes- terday, came to his death as the re- sult of an accident due to lack of care on his own part. McInerney, a car inspector, was struck in the head with a brake handle in the yards of the Washing- ton Terminal Co. while releasing a brake. . and Discontinued Lines ,W;fi $®fij!
