In the recent number of the General Fed

written an article bearing upon the much
talked of 'Endowment Fund." "Many of

felt (or years." she writes, "that the ttfl-

clency of the committees was seriously
hampered by lack of funds to apply to
special needs. It has been a dream and a
hope that an endowment fund for special
usea might be established.
'By vote of the federation at Cincinnati

last year by the corresponding secretary
asking sugestlons regarding an Increase of
revenue. From some states the reply came
advising greater activity of the clubs In
securing Individual membership; others
suggested duplicating dues for one year,
and from a few small cluba came the actual
per capita tax of 6 or 10 cents per mem

expense bad not instructed the treasurer
how to enter this fund on her books. Mrs.
Keefe adds that It was the quick brain
of Mrs. Carpenter of New York that sug
gested that here was the nucleus of the
longed for special endowment fund.
Mrs. Keefe further adds: "The establish'
ment of such a fund by the General Federa

of our organization seems to demand the
following conditions: First a responsible
board of control; second, a small board;
third, such control as would secure con
tinuity and permanence; fourth, this board
of control must never become Independent
of the General Federation. To cover the
above points It wss decided that the ex

federation, who with the president and
treasurer shall constitute the board of
trustees. "
In conclusion Mrs. Keefe states: "The
Interest In this endowment fund Is so real
and active among the club membership
that we can have no doubt of a hearty
response from states, clubs, tand individual
