If the rumor is true that Major ~ General Wood is to be appointed gov- ernor general of the Philippines when Mr. Harding assumes the du- ties of the presidential office, there are many people who will be most, thoroughly pleased. General Wood "has lacked just a little of being the popular idol that his life-time friend, 'Theodore Roosevelt, managed to achieve. His choice for a position of the importance that attaches to the management of affairs in the Philippines will seem to his friends as a sort of compensation for his de- feat in the campaign for presidential nomination. And incidentally the Philippines will have the advantage of a government directed by one who understands the delicate business of administering the affairs of a people totally unlike those who have: as- sumed control over them. It is a big responsibility that will be placed upon General Wood, but at the same time its placing is in the way of a compliment to his talents in a de- ~ partment of the public life of the na- tion which is not to be very gener- 'ally found. Not everybody in the United States agrees that there should be a con- tinued supervision over Philippine affairs by the United States. These, remembering that this country has promised independence to the natives of the islands as soon as there should be demonstration of an ability to use it properly, believe that that time has come and are disposed to urge the performance of the promise "which has been accepted in good faith by the Filipinos its fulfillment awaited with patience until there should be developed native ability and experience tq warrant the re- moval of foreign control over their affairs. This portion of the Ameri- can public will be glad if General Wood is to be given jurisdiction over the affairs of the Philippines because they are assured that with his high sense of honesty and right feeling " there would be immediate recogni- it were applied to any legitimate part of our activities. Puttering is the greatest sin to be charged to the national congress. The members have puttered with this, that and the other matter, getting nowhere and never knowing, appar- ently, that they are wasting time. The love of puttering may be counted upon by those who wish to block any progress, and has been counted upon by the leaders in the two houses of congress to keep the members sitting in their seats quarreling and bicker- ing, all the time thinking that they are conducting the business which has been entrusted to them. In the early days of American his- tory the people were not much given to puttering. They had too little leisure to permit any such indul- gence even had they so desired. To- day if we are to continue to be a nation devoted to achievement, we must forsake the easy puttering ways into which we have fallen, and learn to make our movements count for advancement somewhere, and a somewhere that we really wish to be. oman's @lub ; = A regular meeting of the Winnetka Woman's club was held on Thursday, February 24, at 2:30 o'clock. Mrs. Porter presided. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Mrs. Leon H. Winne, the corresponding secre- tary, and after two minor additions, were approved. The following an- nouncements were made: Prof. William E. Dodd, of the Uni- versity of Chicago, will lecture on "Thomas Jefferson" on Friday even- ing, March 4, at 8 o'clock, in the club parlors. Mr. Dodd is giving this lec- ture as a very gracious appreciation of the enjoyment which his audience expressed of his course of lectures last fall. No admission will be charg- ed, and it is hoped many persons may avail themselves of this oppor- tunity. Dr. Watson, former rector of the American church in Paris, will speak on "The Meaning of France" at Com- munity House, on Sunday evening, March 6. The proceeds of the talk will be devoted to the relief work in France. Mr. William A. Otis will speak on "Track Depression" Monday evening, February 28, at 8 o'clock, at the club. His lecture will be illustrated by stereopticon. Everyone is welcome The Drama study class will meet next Monday afternoon at the club. There will be a business meeting at 2:30 o'clock. At 3 o'clock the regular program will be given. It consists of a paper by Mrs. Laird Bell on "Bernard Shaw." Mrs... B. V. LL. Brown will read selections from his works. The Chicago Woman's club has opened a "Womans' Work Room" in Rooms 1301-1302, Venetian building, 15 East Washington street, Chicago. Its object is to provide employment for aged or handicapped women, who must support themselves or others, and to create a market for their pro- ducts. This central office provides a place for registration, advice, in- formation, and instruction. The wom- en's handiwork is on display, and will be disposed of without cost to the makers. No restriction is made as to the place of residence of the re- gistrants. The general public may help greatly with this work by their patronage, and by advising possible workers of the office. All sorts of mending and repairing is done. Shirts frayed at the neck and cuffs are made as good as new. Silk stock- ings that have "runs" are almost in- visibly repaired. The board of the Winnetka Woman's club gives its whole-hearted support to this enter- prise. In addition to the repairing, fine needlework is done, and novelties are on sale, or may be ordered. The first session of the Legislative Forum, held under the auspices of the Illinois Woman's Legislative Congress, took place on last Thurs- day and Friday. The club has reason to feel very proud of the telling speech made by Mrs. Maurice H. Lieber on the $20,000,000 Distributive fund in connection with educational legislation. Just preceding the program of the afternoon Miss Stoughton, of the National Child Labor committee of New York, gave a ten-minute talk on "Children in Industry." She appealed for the moral as well as the financial support of the members of the club. Miss Elizabeth Gemmell chairman of the Civics and Philanthropy com- mittee, introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Prof. James A. Breast- ed, of the University of Chicago. His talk, "On the Trail of our Earliest Ancestors," was illustrated by slides, a number of them colored, made from photographs which Prof. Breasted took on the recent archaeological ex- pedition of the University of Chicago to Egypt and Asia Minor. One photo- graph in particular was most inter- esting. It showed the recently ex- cavated audience hall of a palace. If Prof. Breasted deductions are correct it was in this very hall that the famous arguments between Moses and Pharaoh in regard to the Chil- dren of Israel took place. After the program tea was served by the following hostesses, Mrs. Louis M. Beale, Mrs. Edward P. Far- well, Mrs. Willard F. Hopkins, and Mrs. Chester Sargent. The next regular club meeting will be held on Thursday, March 10. Mr. Perry Dunlap Smith, Headmaster of the North Shore Country Day school, will speak. The program is in charge of the Education committee, With Virginia leading with 51.1 per cent, every state in the Union showed a gain in motor vehicle reg- istration for the past year.
