Omaha Woman’s Club to Take Straw* _Vote for President Mrs. Nelson Barber of Fullerton, chairman of literature for the Ne braska Federation of Women's clubs, will i tie the speaker at the general meeting of the Omaha Woman's club Monday afternoon, 2:S0 o'clock, in the Burgess-Nash auditorium. Her subject will be "Our Silent Teachers.” Harp solos will be given by Miss Er ma Clow. The literature depart ment, Mrs. Edward Johnson, leader, ’.viil have charge of the program. Mrs. Paul Perryman of Ord, newly elected state president, will be in Omaha this week and it is hoped that she will arrive in time for the meeting Monday. The board of directors will enter tain at luncheon preceding the meet ing, in the tea room of the store, complimentary to Mrs. Barber. Res ervations, which are open to club women and their friends, may be made with Mrs. C. B. Coon, Harney 1856. At the request of Mrs. Thomas Winter, president of lire General Federation a straw vote will be taken for the next president of the United States at the meeting Monday. The names of the following candidates will be voted upon: Calvin Coolidge, W. E. Borah, Henry Ford, Herbert Hoover, C. G. Hughes, Hiram John son, R. M. LaFollette, William Mo Adoo, O. W. Underwood and Wood row Wilson. This is being done in all the clubs in the federation and the result* will be published In Good housekeeping magazine. The following is taken from a let ter from Mrs. Winter: "The general federation Is trying to awaken women to a keener sense of their duty as citizens. The chief danger In this country lies in the ac tivity of the small dangerous element and the lethargy and indifference of the great mass of us. The federa tion, however, steers clear of all par tisanship, and the proposal of Good Housekeeping, which goes to you with my backing, involves no club complications with party animosi ties, with party principles or with party alignment on the part of your club. "Briefly, It aJtks that you take, without discussion, a poll of your membership as to their choice for the next president of the United States and send this in to the magazine. "This poll will be a very real one, and will be the first of its kind ever attempted. The magazine feels that the federation Is a fair representa tion of the thinking body of women all over the country, and, aa such, a great element that ought to make itself felt for thta awakening of our civic consciousness. "I want to urge you all to take part In this preliminary voter Only the total votes of each candidate from the entire list of clubs will be given out."

My father is 79, I am 4R, and my son is 11. As we grow older and are given to retrospection we can look back and see wherein our habits, traits end dispositions are similar. I never gave much thought to these things when I was younger, but today I can see where many of my father's traits are mine. There was little talk of such things when I was a boy, at least I never heard much, hut I know that if there had been any Father and Son weeks my father would have been interested in them. It’s not what we preach, but what we ARE that makes the impressions on our sons. What I PREACH to my boy Is, that he must ABSORB my good traits and ABHOR my bad, but I am not ho foolish as to think he will absorb only the good ones. One proof of the truth of "I.ike father lika son” is in their habits of dress. If dad is a good dresser and keeps his clothes clean and nicely pressed, so will the boy. We have the names of many men on The Pan torium books whose fathers are, or were, patrons of ours a quarter of a century ago, and not a few of the third generation. Come on, fellows, let’s lake the boys to the meetings this week and see if we can't mnke them an improvment on their dnds.
