General Federation News.
The General Federation of Wom
en's Clubs magazina has at last be
come the property of the federation
itself. In, all its'previous existence
the magazine has been the property
of nonclub members and has served
the federation only by contract. The
new editor, Miss Helen Louise John
son, seems to typify the transforma
tion. She is one of the best known
club women of the country, a vivid,
forceful and conv icing speaker, an
expert in home economics. She was
associate editor of Good Housekeep
ing, whose testing and experimental
laboratory she conducted, and later
accepted a position with Harper's
Bazar. She'has done a large amount
of free lance magazine work.
Equally important for the new posi
tion is her club contact, which makes
her familiar with federation points of
view. As chairman of home eco
nomics for the state of Illinois and
later for the General Federation of
Women's Clubs," she traveled and lec
tured and became known by clubs inV
every part of the country.
The new office of the Magazine is
415 Maryland building, Washington,
D:C.
The official incorporators of the
Magazine are: President, Miss Mary
Hay, New York, director of the Gen
eral Federation from New York;
treasurer, Miss Georgia Bacon, Massa
chusetts, vice president of the General
Federation; vice president and secre
tary, Mrs. William Pedrick, Mary
land, director of the General Federa
tion. In conjunction with theMagazine
editorial office, and also under Miss
Johnson's supervision, the General
Federation will conduct a special serv
ice office to keep the club women in
touch with government needs, gov
ernment directions for activity and
government departments during the
war stress one thai plans to do ex
actly what its name indicates, giving
service to the federated clubs, to the
staU federation, to chairmen, to all
those desiring things of this kind in
order that the federation may knit
its, bonds closer than ever and work
not alone as individuals but as an or
ganization. Study Clubs.
The Belle Letters Literary club will

House and will tell of her arrest for
holding a banner bearing a quotation
from President Wilson's book, "The
New Freedom." For this Mrs. Lewis
was sentenced to three days' imprison
ment in the district jail in Washing
ton. "Women have gone to prison," Mrs.
Lewis said, "for doing a thing which
is perfectly legal in the District of
Columbia. It is not against the law
to hold a banner, or to picket. The
proof of this is that, only a few weeks
ago, Senator Myers introduced into
the senate resolution making picket
ing illegal, but this resolution lias
never been acted upon and is now for
gotten in some committee.
No Law Against Picketing.
"If there were a law already exist
ing against picketing, why was it nec
essary to make a, law in the senate?"
Mrs.'Lewis declares her belief that
the picketing has been very effective
in aiding national women's suffrage.
"We have gotten action," Mrs. Lewis
explained, "In the senate and in house
which we would never have been able
to obtain by persistent lobbying in a
war session. We have no doubt that
this is due" to the ceaseless demand
made by he pickets. Of course, we
know that it is patriotic to press Our
demand at this time, for all we are
trying to accomplish is to do our 'bit'
at home for the democracy tor which
we are sending our sons abroad to
fight."
Iff .
Mrs. Lewis has two sons in the
service, one in the army and one in
the medical corps of the navy. She
said that in order to properly finano
the war for the protection of our sol
diers abroad she herself was buying
Liberty bonds and urging others to
do so.

Club Women Are Serious
In Aim to Keep Charity
From Becoming Lopsided
Officers of the Needlework Guild
are making a campaign for new mem
bers. All garment members are be
ing urged to bring in at least one new
member and to increase donations.
"The pressing needs we find facing
us this winter make it necessary that
we renew our activities," said Mrs. W.
G. Templeton, chairman of the dis
tribution committee. "The Needle
work Guild is the largest organiza
tion in the world with the specific
duty of clothing the'poor with new
garments once a year. The Omaha
branch has a membership of 1,000,
who give two or more garments every
fall.
"We know these are busy days,
but while women are doing their bit
for the soldier boys they should not
forget our local charities. We come
so far short of meeting the needs of
local -charities as it is. But the work
is 1 so simple in detail, nonsectarian,
requires so little time, yet is so far
reaching in results, we think if the
public understood our work better,
we could more than double our mem
bership. Our garments will be on ex
hibition Thursday afternoon, Novem
ber 8, at the First Presbyterian
church and we want the public to
come and see what we are doing."
Mrs. J. J. Stubbs is president of the
guild; M. B Newman, vice president;

TTTINTERl It .may be just around
the corner, or a few days
farther-off but it's coining. Be in
readiness, for it's sucli a disappoint
ment when the brisk, crisp winter
weather puts a glad, active spirit into
everybody, not to be able to enjoy
it to the utmost. Over at Benson &
Thome's they have heeded the de
mand of Madame Fashion that we be
swathed in luxurious furs and have
secured an extensive array of dis
tinctive styles in neckpieces; scarfs,
stoles, capes, coatees and muffs. Miss
Rogers, in charge of the furs, very
throughout with contrasting shades
of silk. They fairly bespeak the lux
urious comfort one would enjoy if
robed in one of them.
One of the novel things I saw this
week is a hat and muff set of rich
toned Autumnal brown velvet the
top of the elongated oval muff is com
pletely covered with the entire fur
skin of a beautiful brown animal. The
hat is also trimmed with the fur, gold
grapes and gold leaves.

kindly produced for me some of their
sumptuous sets of sable, kolinsky and
Hudson seal trimmed with rare er
mine. By all means see ftenson &
Thorne's furs before making a selec
tion. In keeping up with Omaha shops,
I have to keep up with New
York shops, too, and I've just
noticed in "Vogue" and in the deco
rating magazine the increasing use pi
vases. Among other Mid-Victorian
revivals is the use of pottery figures
animals, birds and human gro
tesques, to accentuate color notes.
Keep it in mind for the home.

Nebraska West Half Prosperous;
Prices of Lands Have Increased
Secretary Wallace of the Omaha
Real Eestate board has returned from
ajtrip of several weeks througn west
ern Nebraska and tells enthusiastical
ly of progress in that part of the
state. Some of his accounts of hbw
people are making money at that end
of the slate sound like fairy tales.
Whether it is in connection with the
potash industry near Alliance, or the
growing of potatoes, which are yield
ing an enormous crop of very fine
quality, provided they were gathered
before the last freeze, or whether the
people have centered thir interest in
wheat, the results seem to be much
the same.
Then there Is the land Loom and
there is the oil boom to top off the
money making situation in the west
ern counties ai well as stock. He re
ports lands have advanced from 25 to
50 per cent Since the first of the year.
There are frequent cases where the
value has doubled.
In Banner county there are very
few lands for sale and if offered are
immediately bought up, because of
the oil boom. Kimball, the' flourishing
and rapidly growing, county, is the
probabel outlet of the pipe line and
the market for the new oil district.
The North Tlatte valley from
Bridgeport to Scottsbluff and beyond
is prodfierous. Sugar -beets, potatoes,
alfalfa and stock show large profits.
Scottsbluff boasts ISO new dwellings
built this year, tasty and modern type
homes.
