What think you of a convention of wom- en whereln thirty-two of them said all they had to say in three minutes each? | To be sure, they had more to say—yards more—but the convention rules allowed three minutes, and they manfully’ stuck to the compact. True, there were a few who broke through, but the convention as a whole beats all club records for obedience, brevity and relevancy. For these things—the things women need most to learn—it stands as a record-breaker, for which cregit must be given the district president, Mrs. F. V. Gorham of Vallejo, and her parliamentarian, Miss Mary Fair- brother, as well as to the speakers them- selves. This Miss Fairbrother is a feminine Tom Reed, and her very presence is a threat to the verbose and rambling convention speaker, that makes of conventions— which ought to be gainful and pleasur- able—a slow death. The morning session of the San Fran- cisco district convention of the California Federation was opened in the California Club house with prayer by Mrs. H. S. Lewis. Mrs. Aylette B. Cotton, president of the hostess club, welcomed the delegates and friends in a fashion becoming a club bearing the name ‘“California.” Then followed the greeting from the State president, Mrs. Josiah Evans | Cowles. Mrs. George Law Smith, the past State president and greatly beloved lead- er, was unable through iliness to present ber report upon the General Federation. And then came thosé famous three- minute reports from the presidents of | thirty-two clubs—the reports that will set a new standard of'intelligence and Christian charity in women’s delibera- tions. Yea, verily, are we learning, though the light cometh slow. As to what these women reported, here is a story that should go forth to the ends of the country, covering, as they do, activities from the study clubs, along the lines of civic imprgve- ment and soclological service, into the commonplace of domestic economy. And en interesting factor of the con- vention was the total leveling of social lines—women from every class, from the South Park Mothers’ Club (com- posed mostly of working mothers), to the purely social clubs, each sharing Arousing the Public Conscience Rev.

The civic clubs—developments of | women’s awakening civic spirit, and forerunners of civic responsibilities— told of the cleaning up of streets, planting of parks and plazas, estab- lishing of drinking fountains and wa- ter troughs, establishment of juvenile | courts, starting of libraries and a hun- dred other necessities of civilized cen- ters. These are the things for which the best type of women’'s clubs stands —for service. The morning session ran well into the noon hour, when adjournment was taken until 2 o’clock. Reports of the credentials commit- tee and the roll-call of delegates was the first order of business for the afternoon followed by the eternally in- teresting episode of efection. After some little skirmishing the following ticket was elected: President of the San Francisco District, Mrs. C. H. Ward of the Contemporary Club, San TFrancisco; vice president of the San Francisco District, rs. Robert P. Hill of Sonoma Valley Woman's Club; recording secretary, Mrs. J. B. Mitehell. Calttornia. Clug, "San Franclsco; cor- responding secretary, Mies Jennle Partridge; treasurer, Mrs. James Glendenning of Sants Clara Club; auditor, Mrs. Joseph Cheeswright, Petaluma Woman's Club. The smoke of battle clearing, the following papers were read—or talked: Five minute reports on civics, Mrs. E. L. Baldwin, Mrs. George Gibson; club extension, Mrs. R. P. Hll, Mrs, John Fritschi; education, Mrs. John Fletcher; ten minute paper on ‘“‘Bird Protection,” Mrs. Alice L. Park; ‘‘Forestry,” A, E. Osborn and Mre, James Glenden- istory and Landmarks,’’ Mrs. Laura en minute paper on *‘Art,’” Mrs. I ‘Household Economics,’ Mrs. H. S. McNear: *‘Libraries and Portfoilos,” Mrs. Thomas L. Hill; ten minute paper on ‘A Study of Dickens' Women,'" Hrl E. H. King; “Recl- procity Bureau,” Mrs. E. G. Denniston and ubhouse Loan Fu ‘State Federation Pin,” Miss Bernice Scoville; reading of minutes. And thus closed the fourth annual convention of the San Francisco dis- trict of the California Federation—the first visible evidence that women can | foregather in convention and give the other woman a chance to talk. This first step toward goodfellowship was the joy of the day. Yea, verily are we growing wise, talking less and saying more. G e \ Clubs Give Reception. The reception given last night at he California Club house to the State president, Mrs. Joslah Evan Cowles, was a famous success. The Vallejo district, acting as hos- tess of the evening, presented its Ce- cilia Club, which gave two chorals pleasingly, “The Lost Chord” and “Merry June.” Hon. F. R. Devlin of Vallejo, in a few words expressed his sentiments in tavor of the woman's club, saying that it fostcred the home spirit rather than destroyed it. Mr. Devlin then introduced Mrs. Cowles of Los Angeles, the State president, who gave a very pleasing and concise statement of the status, possibilities and accomplish- ments of the Federation of Clubs. ——tae P ity y it yesterday lins conclu s argument United States District Court_in_the e...".’,} the United States vs. George W.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.—“Pink eye” is sald by some of the prominent physicians of the city to have reached the proportion of an epidemic in Chicago. School chil- dren are among the worst sufferers, the pupils at the Doolittle School having felt the scourge for more than a week past. The disease is one of the most con- tagious known to medicine and sometimes travels through an entire family. corner of the eye a physician should be consulted. If no corrective measures are used, suppuration will start and continue for a day in the eye affected. When a cure is near the other optic becomes af- flicted in the same way. The patient has then a pair of eyes of the kind that have been referred. to a8 looking like ‘“‘burnt holes in a blanket,’ using applications to keep them open. “Pink ey has only. one thing to recommend {t—it is not fatal. It generally lasts three days. s e WOMAN TO FINANCE TUBERCULOSIS CAMP CHICAGO, Nov. 13.—One of the most complete tuberculosis camps in the coun- try is to be established near Biue Island, a suburb of Chicago, through the munifi- cence of Mrs. Edward L. Gaylord, who has donated 160 acres of land and will i and maintain the settlement. The proposed camp is to be used for of the poor only. Only in- cipient and curable cases will be received. Mrs. Gaylord is the widow of Edward L. Gaylor of Chicago, and resides at the Midlothian Club, near Blue Island.

Mc- | Gavrey, the Bexley Theological Seminary | student who was found bound and gagged | in his room on Saturday night, is In a | precarious conditlon and fears are enter- tained that he will not recover. He suf- fered several convulsions to-day, and physicians say he is on the verge of com- plete nervous collapse. He suffers great pain in his right side and, it is believed, he was kicied while unconscious by the men who bound and gagged him. Early this fall McGavrey underwent an operation for apperdicitis and he had not fully recovered from this when he was attacked Saturday. McGavrey’s mind is not yet clear and | he is unable to tell anything of the as- sault which will give a clew to the police at work on the case Not only to the police but to the col- lege authorities as well is the assault g mystery. Dean Jones of Bexley Hall said to-night that it i3 a well known fact | that students in the seminary are poor, & majority of them working their way through college. His statement strength- ens the belief that robbery was not the motive for the assault on McGavrey. | One theory Is that McGavrey was in possession of information which would throw further light on the death of Stu- | art Pierson, a student in the college, who was killed by a passing train while bound to the railroad tracks during a fraternity initiation. The attack may have been for the purpose of Intimidating McGavrey. . e —— |CASE I‘ LAND GRABBERS ATTACK FEDERAL IND] WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Counsel for John A.
