There were over 145.000 deaths in New York state during the year 1914, and according to the estimates of the committee of one hundred on the conservation con-servation of human vitality, more than 40 per cent of this mortality might have been prevented.

Speculating- on the club conventions of the springtime, the Continental congress con-gress in Washington in April and the biennial meeting of the General Federation Fed-eration cf Women 's Clubs in New York in May being notable examples, rhe Los Angeles Examiner says: Did you ever 6 top and wonder, O you thousands of clubwomen, of the reason why conventions are held in the spring? There may be other visible and easily snoken-of reasons; but is it nor really that subtle psychology of hope, of energy, which the springtime spring-time brings which caused the selection ? Woman's work is essentially that of hope, of vision. Often he is the first to see the need of civic changes, of educational reforms, of measures whih benefit humanity human-ity and give greater equality of opportunity. As the agriculturist sees in the bit of dry seed tossed bv the wiud the promise of a great harvest; as the mother sees in her babe the great leader of the future, so, too. does the clubwoman see in a forlorn hope, laughed at and' deemed impossible by many, a great world awakening.
