Kntered in the postofllce at Wilmette. Illinois, as mail matter of the second class, under the act of March 3, 187!). CLUB NOTES By Mrs. George S. Cuerlin THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1918 The Fuel Situation. The resignation of Charles F. Bart- lett from the office of fuel admin- istrator of Evanston and Wilmette is illustrative of a situation which exists everywhere in emergency official cir- cles today. Mr. Bartlett entered office in the fond hope that if he applied to the work to be done the experience which he has gained in a long busi- ness life, if he exercised "plain, ordi- nary horse sense" he would be able to tide Wilmette safely over the emerg- ency and provide coal for everybody by a just distribution of the supply which he had every reason to expect. His disillusionment is discouraging to liim, but it is enlightening to the public. It is useless, in a haphazard system, for one person to apply sound common sense when no one else is following that policy. If Wilmette comes out of the present coal con- fusion without suffering, and great hardship in some instances, it will be because ol the co-operation between the deajcrs, the endeavor of the local administration to overcome the mis- takes of the county administration, the beneficence of a kind Providence and a break of luck our way. The Soldier's Health. It is repeatedly stated by those who are in authority and in a position to know that health conditions in camp are better than among tfrose in civil life, a consideration which is en- couraging to those who arc depressed by rumors of quarantine because of measles, mumps, scarlet fever or meningitis. It is the very fact that there is established the strict quaran- tine which accounts for the better health of soldiers than of a similar number of men living under the con- ditions incident to their homes. We are likely to think of the camp as a group of soldiers of far smaller proportions than it is. We fail to consider such groups as larger than any but the few cities in the state, and that they are made up of mem- bers who have come from everywhere, having been exposed to all sorts of infection. If we could learn to take into consideration these facts, and to remember and believe the report which has been given by the officers in charge of the camps, we would be less likely to fall into error and to he misled by those fearful people who see only the few weaknesses of the camp system rather than the great care with which the men are guarded from harm. The Federation of Clubs of the Tenth Congressional District of Illi- nois met Thursday, January 24, in the Woman's club house in Evans- ton. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. M. K. Nort- ham, and many interesting talks fol- lowed, one of the most noteworthy being the report from the delegate of the Marcy Woman's Christian Temperance Union, stating that they were interesting the poor as well as the colored people of Evanston and vicinity in the making of hospital garments, knitting, etc., and that the children had made thousands of gun wipes, The report of the delegate from the Children's Aid Society was interest- ing, for it told of the hundreds of homeless children that were being taken care of and how their burden was made heavier by the fact that many of the children had fathers who had gone to the war and these chil- dren had to be taken care of. It was a great problem as many of them were sick and underfed and as the hospitals were filled to overflowing and the professional staff of phy- sicians and nurses depicted by the call of our country. It meant that they had to find some way of taking care of some 1200 children. They did so by taking some of the space in their own buildings. She pled with the people to he as generous as pos- sible in their thought of this institu- tion. Mrs. Prouty gave a report of the Winnetka Woman's Club and said, among other things, they had thrown their club house open to the jackies on Saturday afternoon and evenings; that the hoys enjoyed the privilege very much, and that they were busy along all lines of war work, that their would mean $150.00 or $200.00 per year and that money would go to help tide the parents in a financial way instead of the money to he earn- ed by this child. She asked that we consider seriously this scholarship plan and see if it could be worked out. The meeting adjourned for luncheon and nothing but words of praise can be said for the women of Evanston for the food they served was good, splendidly cooked and wholesome. Their culinary art will live long in the minds of the many delegates. The meeting was resumed at 2:00 p. in., with the roll call of officers, delegates and members and then the Boy Scouts of Evanston marched in bearing the flag, gave us some patri- otic music and we all joined in singing the Star Spangled Banner. Then we were told of the com- munity singing whirji was being pro- moted in Evanston and asked to help it along by having singing whenever we could; th'ere is nothing that spells brotherhood in a truer sense than standing shoulder to shoulder in com- munity singing. Miss A. G. Grandy spoke on voices and their training. She said the day had come when we must he able to face an audience, and say what we had to say in a clear, distinct and pleasing voice. Many times the mo- tive of the address is lost to the audi- ence because of a rasping or indis- tinct voice. The field is a broad one and it behooves he, who would be a public speaker, to listen well to his voice. A perfectly splendid address was made by the Rev. R. E. Smith, who commenced in a novel way by tell- ing- of his education, age, experience on the platform; that he was mar- ried and had a son 4 years old, and requested that if there was anything else to know he would be glad to answer for he wanted us to get every word of what he was about to say and not wonder about him and where he came from. He spoke of many interesting things about the "spirit I could not attempt to do him justice but I would just like to mention a few facts. He told of how the people in this country were digging into their pockets and buying Liberty Bonds, thrift stamps, smrleage books; were paying their income taxes, etc., and paying the high price for foods in order to feed those on the other side, What greater brotherhood spirit would one wish for? And the best part of it all was that the American was doing all this gracefully. Who would have dreamed that we would be told we responsibilities were increasing al- most daily but they were happy to Gf the New Citizenship, say that they were able to cope with their ever increasing responsibilities. Mrs. Plummer. speaker of, or rather from the C. of N. D., gave a brief talk to the women saying that they should not lose their individual- ity by going in too strongly for ev- erything that came along. She want- ed them to respond to all calls as far as possible and be as patriotic as possible, but to weigh matters for the good of their respective clubs. For instance, she said the Chicago Women's Club had decided to serve no refreshments during the period of' could only have a sack of flour or the war, but it does not follow that two pounds of sugar and yet that is all other clubs should do the same.'just what is happening.

He said we would not have the present coal shortage if it were not for the saloons as they use one out of every ten cars of coal or one- eighteenth of the entire output, that six hundred working men's homes per year could be bought for the money these slow poison dispensaries use, one million pairs of shoes could be purchased for the soldiers with this money per year, or 125,000 suits of clothes, or twenty-seven million loaves of bread at 10c per loaf. These are startling statistics, but nevertheless true, and he urged each and every one to work for dry Chi- cago, in fact national prohibition. —*— There will be an all-day sewing meeting of the Catholic Woman's Club on Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Carl Schroeder, 711 Park avenue. t Tax Payers!
