J. Hayward and Mrs. Stratton-Airey of Salt Lake and MrTHjisv Alien 'of Garfield. The! other members of the committee are Mrs. C H. McMahon, Miss Kate Williams, Wil-liams, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Cohen, Mrs. J. R. Letcher, Mrs. Ida Smoot Dusenberry, Miss Rose Jones, Mrs. S. S. Smith and Mrs. O. W. Bailey. Conferring with this committee is a committee Irom the City Federation of Women's Clubs, including in-cluding a representative from each of the clubs belonging to the federation. One of the matters of vital interest to the committee of representative club women is a bill introduced in the house by Mrs. Hayward providing for a reduction re-duction in the working hours for women from fifty-four to forty-eight per week. The women are also working to prevent pre-vent a reduction in the appropriations for the philanthropic institutions of the state. Opposition is made to the Chez bill, providing a state censorship of moving pictures, on the ground that one paid censor could not give a fair rc-, view of films. Then it is urged that the delay occasioned by state conaor-Bhip conaor-Bhip would mean an unnecessary hardship hard-ship to picture houses. The women favor fa-vor accepting the opinion of the national na-tional board of censors, who work voluntarily, vol-untarily, with the provision of having pictures deemed objectionable by local j pouce authorities taken orr. The Hecker bill providing for the dating of cold storage articles to show the time they have been kept in stdr-pge stdr-pge is favored. The idea was indorsed by the national housekeepers' conference confer-ence in 1915. The women's legislative committee is nlso making an effort to avoid a cutting cut-ting down of the library appropriation, especially in view of the maintenance of a west side library, which Carnegie has been asked to donate to the city. A bill providing for state registration tj- trained nurses has received the in-,. in-,. ' uTiint of the committee and with some mTiif ications will probably become be-come a law. I The kindergarten clause in the cdu-! cdu-! cation bill is receiving strong support I from the women. It provides for placing plac-ing kindergartens in the same class with other erndes as to regulations and control. con-trol. The proposed law would permit a demand for a kindergarten where twen-tv twen-tv children could be enrolled for a class. The Home and School league and the National Kindergarten asociation favor the plan. For several years the Y. W. C. A. lias looked forward to the establishment of a training school in domestic science and home economics in the building at i!2S Fast Third South street, where there is already considerable equipment for the purpose, and it has now been decided to-do so at an early date. Committees have been appointed to secure the co-operation of other interested inter-ested women, a trained and experienced worker will bo secured, and an effort made to induce young women who wish to do domestic work and have little preparation for that work to come into the school aurl secure the training that they need. The courses will include not only cooking, serving, laundrv and general hou owork, but the care of children chil-dren and invalids and the preparation of food for both. Practical talks and demonstrations of interest to housewives house-wives will probablv be included as opportunity op-portunity offers.
