MRS. PENNYPACKER TOUCHES LIVE TOPICS Club Women Advised to Co-Operate Directly in Problem of Amer- icanizing Immigrants. SHOULD JOIN NATIONAL COUNCIL New York, May 25—A step from nationalism to internationalism, so that assistance may be rendered in a world-wide movement by women to “harmonize the nations” after the close of the European war, is recom- mended to the General Federation of Women's Clubs by Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker of Austin, Tex., in her report, as president, given out today at the thirteenth biennial convention of the federation. . ‘While we call ourselves the General Federation of Women's Clubs, as well face the fact that our for- clubs are so few and far between we are in reality only national’” Ponnybacker sald. “On the conti- nent of Europe and in other countries little {8 known of the federation because there the great woman's movement is represented by the National Councils of Women all united in the International Council of Women. Should Join National Council. “Now, there is only one way in which the federation can be represented in this international council and that is by join- ing the aiready long-established National Counell of Women in the United Btates, “I will eonfess that there is a deeper reason that makes me so eager o ses this brought to pass. When the cruel war ls_over and peace comes we shell tind In the international council an or- manization that ls ready—ready for har- monising the nations which now are at war—ready for calling back into wise common counsel women who for s0 many years were accustomed to work side by slde. “1 pray that the 2,00,000 women of the federation may h he privilege of ting in the council and of helping bring back joy and harmony to women of the world.” Americanization of Immigrant. Mrs. Pennybacker made other recom- mendations of importance to the future activities of the federation, One of these urged that the organization “go on record a8 favoring u continuance of effort on the lines of improvement of rural 1ife and the Americanization of the Immigrant.”” fin this connection the president ex- plained that her administration, having “sarly ftelt the need of proper alllance with the government,” had established A system of co-operation with the De- partments of Agricultural, Interfor and Labor. “Every club which is willing to aid the gevernment in Americanizing the immi- grant,” Mrs. Pennybacker urged, “is invited to send the name of its president and secretary to the president of the fed- eration, These names will be flled with the commissioner of immigration. When & forelgn family lands, destined for a town in which a Woman's club exists, It the commissioner finds on his liat that this club has signified its willingness to oo-operate, a letter wiil immediately be sent to the president of the club. It is not money that these people want, but it 18 the touch of human sympathy, the as- surance that there is a place for them in the community, that women know so ‘well how to give" These alllances with the government branches, Mrs. Pennybacker declared, “'strengthen us, place us In the dignified position wherg we belong, and ald us in doing efficlent, sclentific work; each step thus taken helps our government and, If ‘We are sane in our action, each such co- operative step helps the whole cause of womanhood." yot we may elgn that Mrs to the Latin American History. Another recommendation made by the president favored action by the federa- tlon by urging upon the clubs “the study of the life and history of Latin-American peoples” and that the incoming board suggest definite plans for assisting the development of Pan-American relations Recalling that the federation was, by In- vitation from the secretary of state, rep- resented at the Pan-American congress in Washington, Mrs. Pennybacker suld: areful study convinces us that fdeal relationships between the United States and the other Amerioan republics will never be brought about until the women of the countries more thoroughly under- stand each other. Knowledge brings un- derstanding, and understading brings sympathy.” Motion Picture Problems, The motion pleture was considered in another recommendation, the president urging the convention to request the in- coming hoard to make & survey of the problem and outline s plan of action “No question has aroused more inter- est among the homes of our land,” she sald. “We realise that this institution has come to stay; that It can be made a Kreat educational force; that no one s wholly to blame for the state of affaies that now confronts but we reallze Also that the averase motien ploture tends to de sy the moral fua of the spectator e | member, please, 1 say the average pi ture.

USERS OF TOBACCO CENSURED Saratoga Springs, N. Y., May 25.— | The Methodist general conference re- fused today by a vote of 435 to 360 to remove from the discipline of the church the clause which provides the penalty of expulsion for church mem- bers who play cards, dance and at- tend the theater. More stringent regulations regard- ing the remarriage by Methodist ministers of divorced persons are provided in a report submitted by the committee on the state of the church The church has never recognized any cause for divorce except adultery and has always forbidden remarriage in any case where a divorced wife or husband is living. By the proposed change a minister who performs such a marriage ceremony is guilty of mal- administration and is to be held an- swerable to his conference, The total abstinence by Methodist church members from the use of to- bacco is urged in another report, which states: “We regard our solemn judgment that the habitual use of tobacco is a practice out of harmony with the best Christian life.” Polygamy and the social evil are condemned by the committee on tem- | perance and public morals. The en- forcement of laws prohibiting the former is urged. Regarding the social evil the com- mittee asserts that neither segrega- tion nor punishment by fines is a remedy. The community should offi cially expel and disperse vice, it con- | tinues, and the state should provide industrial settlements for the mental ly deficient and an honest place in so- ciety for those mentally capable “Parents and others charged with care of the young ought to give care- ful consideration to the proper edu- cation of our youth, to the end that there may be health of body, purity of mind and rjghteousness of life,” | Action will be | the report concludes taken later The poor of England, til the t Henry VIIL subsisted, as Trel ne of or of n private be nd until 1838, entirely v Y Children Need A DR.
