In a recent meeting of the National American Woman's Suffrage association associa-tion in Washington, the services of the association and its members were offered of-fered to President Wilson with the following fol-lowing proposal: We propose that a national central cen-tral committee be formed at once, composed of a representative from each national organization of women wo-men willing to aid in war work if the need arises. The object shall be to establish a clearing house between the government and those organizations, in order that service serv-ice may be rendered in the most expeditious manner. With this end in view, we recommend that each component organization list its resources re-sources and report to this central committee concerning the definite work it is prepared to do. To further fur-ther the practical application of this suggestion, our organization declares its . willingness to undertake under-take the following departments of work: 1. The establishment of employment em-ployment bureaus ' for women Through its local, state and national na-tional headquarters, to register the names and qualifications of women available for occupations which men will leave to enter the army; to supply these women to employers employ-ers and to protect the work of such women. 2. The increase of tho food supply sup-ply by the training of women for agricultural work and the elimination elimina-tion of waste The aid of the department de-partment of agriculture will be Bought in planning systematic courses for women to accomplish these purposes. The cultivation by women of garden plots and vacant lots iu cities will be encouraged at the same time that the larger importance of regular farming is urged. 3. The Red Cross As the Red Cross, in which many of our members mem-bers are zealous workers, is already al-ready equipped to render hospital, medical and general supply service, serv-ice, we offer our organized service serv-ice in other fields, and we promise prom-ise continued co-operation with tho Red Cross, as needed. 4. Americanization A problem unknown to other lands will become accentuated in the event of war. Within our borders are eight millions mil-lions of aliens, who, by birth, tradition tra-dition and training, will find it difficult, dif-ficult, if not impossible, to understand under-stand the causes which have led to the war. War invariably breeds intolerance and hatred, and will tend to arouse antagonisms inimical to the best interests of a nation. With the desire to minimize this danger, our association, extending, as it does, into every precinct of our great cities and into the various va-rious counties of the states, offers to conduct classes in school centers, cen-ters, wherein national allegiance shall be taught, emphasizing tolerance, tol-erance, to the end that the stars and stripes shall wave over a loyal, patriotic and undivided people. 5. In order to carry out our expressed ex-pressed desire and purpose, a committee com-mittee of three is hereby ordered appointed to confer with the proper authorities of the government. If need arises, this committee shall be the intermediary between the government gov-ernment and our association.

The following from a Los Angeles paper will be of general interest to clubwomen club-women : Miss Willamena Wilkes, who has the distinction of being the only woman stage director in America, is arousing interest among Los Angeles An-geles clubwomen with her plan to oeat, if not to eliminate, the theater trust. In these days when tho high cost of living is commanding much attention, the high cost of amusements amuse-ments does not fail to interest. Clubwomen who have paid $2 a seat for a 50-cent show are well satis-fied satis-fied to have one of their sex defeat the trust. Miss Wilkes thinks she has found a way in the municipal theater movement, which she has furthered in the east and will inaugurate inau-gurate in the west. Miss Wilkes has just come from Northampton, Mass., which has the distinction of possessing the only municipal theater in the United States. According to Miss Wilkes, the new idea has gained ground iu a very short time, for the reason that the same plays are given in the municipal theater and with as high-salaried high-salaried performers as iu the other playhouses. The difference is that the' theater run by the municipality does not try to make profits, but only aims to pay the expenses of the house and companies. The result is that the patrons of this theater see plays which would elsewhere cost f'-om $2 to $3 per seat at about half those prices. Miss Wilkes will go from here to Tacoma, Wash., to further a movement move-ment there for the establishment of America's second municipal theater.
