One amendment in the by-laws was adopt ed and two other proposed changes were voted down, one after vigorous discussion, at the opening session of the thirtieth annual meeting of the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs here today. More than three hundred dele gates and as many visitors crowded the Orpheum theater for the first meeting .at which Mrs. Paul Perry man of Broken Bow presided. Mrs. Ferryman predicted the "biggest and best" convention ever held. Abolition of the state federation's auditor and substitution of a plan to have the books placed in the hands of a public accountant to be select ed by the board of directors was vot ed. A proposed change in the proceed ure of nominating by placing in nomination six members in each dis trict for various state officers, in cluding president, was turned down. Another change which would give each city and county federation, pay ing per capita dues of not less than $2.50, one delegate for each 50 mem bers was the other proposal refused approval. Dr. Nelle Deffenbaugh of Fairmont led the opposition, and it was voted down on her motion with agreement that it will come up later on the convention floor. Mrs. John D. Sherman of Estes Tark, Colo., president of the Gen eral Federation of Women's clubs, told delegates that the first step to wards world peace was "to disarm one's self of intolerance of other na tions and races." "World peace, she said. Is one of the biggest sujects before the fed eration today. The subject includes citizenship and the American home which we are trying to improve. "There is no security for the Amer ican home as long as war threatens even in small countries far away e protect our homes by insurance against fire and theft, but we fail to protect it against war. "The money represented in securi ties of the federal government in foreign counties equals the entire wealth of the United States in 1847 This vast amount must be protected War would infringe on our invest ment, war even in the lar away countries of the world. "I believe that the women of the United States will get together and bring world peace. The General Fed eration of Women's clubs is one of the strongest organizations in exist ence, and every member must co-op erate in bringing about a world peace and contentment." Face Several Problems. Development of music, literature and art. and the improvement of community social and idustrial con ditions were problems confronting the- annual convention of the Ne braska Federation of Women's clubs this year. A survey of illiteracy among im migrants of the state, conducted dur- iing the past year by the federation Will be read tomorrow by Mrs. Pau Perryman of Broken Bow, federation ; president. inis subject, however, was cov ! ered from a national aspect today in the address of Miss Gertrude Fa ton of North Bend, chairman of the education division of the federation who gave her Impressions of "China town" and "Little Italy" and other foreign quarters in metropolitan cities visited by her this summer, Registration Necessary. In her opinion, a registration of aliens is necessary to enforce the new immigration law. "A law should require all foreign ers to register once a year after they arrive," she said. "Those without registration cards would then be de ported. This proposed law is recom mended by Secretary Davis, and is endorsed by the General Federation of Women's clubs. The problem of immigration is to exclude those peo ple who are manifestly unfitted to become loyal intelligent and indus trious citizens. We need to strength en and enforce the laws already ex isting." Mrs. E. W. Johnson of Lincoln, social and industrial condition chair man, in a address declared that it often takes "such calamities as the recent Nebraska penitentiary riot" to waken people to the needs of such institutions as to their crowded con ditions. She urged "fair" treatment by society to paroled or released con victs, declaring that "the test of whether a prison system fulfills its functions and is a protection to so ciety is the man released from pri son." "In this way," she said, "it can be ascertained whether correctional in stitutions 'make the man.' " A warning to mothers of Nebras ka to "see to it that their children do not read immoral magazines" was issued by Mrs. Clara Clayton of Lincoln in ad address before the federation. . "Mothers most concerned about the character of their children's as sociates and who would exert every 'effort to keep them from contact with j immoral persons, seemingly give lit-' ! tie or no thought to the nature of ! the children's magazine companion ship," Mrs. Clayton declared. keeping Wafer Department Edward Dowler was a business vis itor in Plattsmouth and Omaha, driv ing over in hicar.
