BROADERACTIY EOALFORWOMEN B. P. W. President Urges .Program on Par With Men’s Groups. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 14—A broader pattern of life for the business and professional woman was urged last night by Miss Charl Ormond Williams. Formally opening the seventh an- nual meeting of the board of directors of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women'’s Clubs, Miss Willlams, president of the organiza- tion, sald: “QOur program must of necessity be comprehensive if we are to tackle the same problems as the men and hold our own with them in the world of affairs. “There are no problems in the fields of Government, economics, or social welfare which do not relate to or bear closely upon the interests of the busi- ness and professional women. “Taxation, war, peace, crime, the election of candidates to public of- fice, housing, relief, these and many other subjects are and ever will be a part of every thinking person’s world. “To shut them out and leave their solution to others because they do not carry on the surface the label ‘women’ is an open admission of ignorance which I know none of us wish to make.” Urging that the federation set a new membership goal of 100,000 mem- bers before 1944, when it will oele- brate its 25th anniversary—its cur- rent membership was announced as 61,000—Miss Williams declared that it had a real contribution to make to the club life of America. “‘We have been trained to face real- ities,” she told the directors from all parts of the country. “We have learned to think quickly and act in- telligently because of our training. We are in a position to know what is needed more readily than women who do not come into daily conflict with the outside world.” Traffic Convictions RECKLESS DRIVING.

VERY once in a while the sun- flower, floral emblem of Kan- sas, has a bit of publicity. This buxom lass is truly an Ameri- can. The Indians appreciated her, and after the New World was discov- ered the hearty native was introduced to the Old World. Being a member of the well-known thrifty composite family, she has prospered because of her ways of handling her affairs. You have met many of her cousins, all of them in- dustrious and successful. They are the goldenrods, asters, black-eyed su- sans and many others. They are firm believers in advertising their goods by color schemes. These colors are | flaunted like gay flags to attract the attention of the shopper, and such a bargain rush as the composite family attracts is the one you should ar- range to attend. The flowers are crowded into & mass formation in the center. Each floret is complete, We call the effect a flower, but as a matter of fact there are hundreds and sometimes thou- sands of blossoms packed in the cen- ter. The bright ray flowers at the {edge do the “wig-wagging.” The insect customers arrive at their | port of call, and reaching deep into the tube of the blossom drink of the nectar and leave with their hostess the pollen brought from another. Here, weeks and months after the call, lyou find the many seed children | packed tightly together, proof of the part the insects played as valuable assistants.

But this plant has traveled far and is well known from the Atlantic Seaboard through Kansas to the Gulf of Mexico. The sunflower is not just an orna- ment, though we admit brightening miles of countryside is a most com- mendable trait of accomplishment. But her seeds have been made into a very good meal and even ground into a mixture that is used for hair oil. ‘The golden petals are distuled into dye, and*when hard put to it for food, cattle have eaten the coarse leaves. ‘We who are so rich in food plants have paid little attention to the sun- flower beyond using her seeds for food for birds. Today, however, the plant is appreciated in many countries. In Russia the sunflower is cultivated for the making of oils and soaps and can- dles. There also the seeds are in high favor as nuts. In China the fiber is carefully prepared and used as an adulterant of silk. The sunflower was the floral em- blem of Peru. The devout Incas held the bright flower in highest reverence, for to them it was but an image on earth of the sun, and they used it in all their religious services. Images of pure, gold were made of them, and some of the workmanship was of exquisite detall. In the holy temples they held first place.
