THK WOMEN'S CO\(ilU:ss
Chicago is the scone of a
gathering of women which
rivals iu size the convention 01
great political parties in Presi
dential campaigns, says the Cleve
land Leader. The number ot" club
women who have been drawn to
gether from all parts of the
United States, from Canada,
Japan, India, the West Indies and
tho Philippines is estimated at
15,000. They represent a vastly
greater multitude who are deep*
interested, as club members in the
proceedings of the twelfth biennial
"Geuer.il Federation of Women's
Clubs."
These facts do not adequately
indicate the power and importance
or tile congress of women which
will be In session until June IT.
The standing and influence of the
delegatts to this great federation
must be taken into account and
the immense number of women,
organized and unorganized, who
are witn them in splrit^and f> el
deep sympathy with the central
ideas and forces of which the Chi
cago convention is the \isible ex
pression.
The most Inveterate contemner
of the so-called feminist move
ment can hardly be blind to Us
great and constantly widening
scope. In some forms and mani
festations it may lose ground, here
and there, but the general rule i*
rapid and peraruanent growth, Ta<
activities of women have perma
nently widened. Tho process i*
still in progress. Ir will go far in
the future. It is both individual
and social. It gains strength with
the spread of education and the
wideulng of thought. Women's
clubs are in some degree its sou;\
but in the larger sense they are '■
fruit.
Women league themselves id
clubs of many kinds and then
federate these organizations, be
cause they are not blind to the
conditions which they have to di'.il
with and the problems they must
face. They unite for efficiency .
well as for pleasure. They use
the me'.'iods of modern busine tc
advance their interests and theii
ideals of life, for the individual,
the community, the country anil
the world.
The aims of the leaders of these
women's organizations which h
so remarkably multiplied in recent
years are very broad aud high.
That rule Is put to the proof by
lew exceptions. The great bulk of
;l»e women gathered hi Chi
cago f actuated by "motives which
compare favorably with those
which govtru the delegates and the
spectati»rs at conventions of men's
organi/.. tlotis which have long and
' stirring histories and afford the
.en pi. .l opportunities for the dis
play 01' the highest powers of lead
ership, on a nation-wide stage.
Big (i pics are being discussed
before these thousands of women
in big v tys, by men and women of
well-ear: ed fame and undoubted
authority. The whole demonstra
tion of the powers and influence
of women leagued in organizations
hating high aims and broad fields
of endeavor must prove in the tru
jnse useful and helpful to
; lie nation and to mankind. The
urlll be a great stimulus to those
who take part in it. It will 'also
.-serve to remind many scoffers that
the fonts rrpresented in a gather
ing of such proportions and such
' iju.ility i. niiot be put aside as

A WAV TO DESTROY'
DANDELIONS
Against that pest of lawns, the
yellow dandelion, the lawn mower
lias little effect, for the plant is
perennial, and perpetuates itself by
a long tap root that penetrates far
into tho soil. Digging the weeds up,
0110 by one, is a tedious task, and
often fails to accomplish a com
pleto destruction, Inasmuch as it
is difficult to remove all of the
tenacious root.
A contributor describes a method
of extermination that is easy to
follow, and is effective. It Is
simply to spray the dandelions with
a solution made by dissolving iron
sulphate in water.
The sulphate comes in granular
form, and should bo used in the
proportion of two pounds to a gal
lon of water.
Ono Kfllon of the. solution will
cover iibout 8GO square feet. It
can be applied from a sprinkling
can or a hand pump. The finer the
spray the better, and the moro thor
oughly the dandelions are soaked
the surer will bo the result.
The best time to do the work is
in tho forenoon, after the dew has
disappeared, and when fair weather
seems probable for the next forty
oight hours. The solution should
not be applied 011 a freshly mowed
lawn; nor should the lawn be mow
ed or sprinkled for three days after
the spray has been used.
If the dandelions are thick and
have bten allowed to go to seed, it
may be necessary to use the iron
sulphate* three or more times dur
ing the season.—Youth's Compan
ion, June 4, 1914.
