iared that, both Great Uritain and

Inauguartins a three days' session
the sixteenth annual convention of
the Arizona federation of Women's
clubs will open at the Woman's club
with a council meeting at 1:30 o'clock
this mornlns.
For the past few days delegates
have been arriving by every train
from every section of the state and
according to Mrs. W. W. McXeff,
chairman of the general arrange
ments committee the session ' from
point of attendance will surpass any
past gathering. That the interest is
keener this season than ever before
is believed to be largely because of
the practical and patriotic turn the
program has taken. War time topics
will be featured, the subjects having
been assigned to those who are best
fitted to advance some particular
phase of war activity. Efficiency
experts in their lines, the men and
women who .address the meetings
have been chosen carefully and
cleverly.
There is only one regret in con
nection with the convention and that
is the unavoidable absence of the
president, Mrs. H. A. Morgan of Wil
cox. Word from Los An6ele yester
day morning told of the illness of
the chairman. Mrs. McDonald Jlobr
inson of Williams, the first vice
president and one ' of the leading
club women of the state, will preside.
For the entertainment of the guest?
clubdom has provided delightful at
tractions for the different evenings
during the session. Tonight Miss
Brenda Francklyn, an English artist
who is passing a few weeks at
Chandler, will lecture at the Wom
an's club, her subject being "The
Balance of Power." Miss Francklyn
who is keenly alive to the European
situation will discuss the cause of
war, the forces with which tha allies
must contend and how to meet them.
The lecture is scheduled for 1:39
o'clock and a special musical program
will be presented.
