Federation President Praise Women Today OMEN of America stand be- hind a human solution of in- _ dustrial, governmental, dip- lomatic, and other problems confront- ing the nation and the world, Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, president of the General Federation of Women's clubs, told the Sunday Afternoon club, in Evanston recently. TCrSdas Wiptar-shgke on "This Chang- in -.£AR. -laatched the growth of woman through the long ages to her great power in the present day. of building up the spiritual quality in the nation, as well as participating in its civic affairs. "When we consider industrial prob- lems, we must first ask, how does it affect- human life," she said. "When we discuss governmental affairs, first let us ask, how does it affect human life? When we take up diplomatic policies, let us ask the same question, how does it affect human life? When we offer a human solution to such questions, when we really have the welfare of humanity at heart, then the veil of ignorance will be lifted, and we will be given the intelligence to solve them. In the ages which have preceded the twentieth century, women first were regarded as self-sacrificing beings; next they fought for self re- spect, and intellectual and social rights. Today they have gained polit- ical freedom, and co-operate with men on an equal footing, said Mrs. Winter. Concerning the bobbed hair, pink cheeked girl of today, Mrs. Winter declared she had brain, character, nerve and purpose. "I am not afraid of the new girl, she said. "I believe she will solve her problems clearly." She told the story of a young girl of the flapper type who was writing a book on chemistry to be used in col- lege laboratories. The same girl met with a terrible automobile accident and sustained serious physical in- juries. When aid came, she demanded that she drive back to the city "for fear she would lose her nerve and could never drive again" if she did not. Dr. Ernest Tittle Will Address Woman's Club EXT Wednesday's meeting at the Wilmette Women's club will be open to the public. The program at eleven o'clock in the morning in charge of the Civics depart- ment will include the last of a series of lectures on "Finance for Women." Miss Edna Howard of the Northern Trust company will be the speaker. After luncheon, Dr. Ernest Fremont Tittle, pastor of the First Methodist dress, his subject to be "The Rendez- vous with Life." The breath and orig- inality of thought as well as the deep spirituality of Dr. Tittle's lectures have gained him a large following. Mr. Glenn Drake, a- Evanston tenor of note, will sing Many Clubs Will Hear Lusk In Coming Weeks OLLOWING up his recent suc- cesses, Milan Lusk, violinist, whose home is Wilmette, was accorded an enthusiastic reception when he played recently before the Rogers Park Woman's club. In his concert in Grand Ledge, Mich., the reviewer of the Independent quoted a Lusk as a master violin- . ist, and continued: "To =o his amazing technic, he Ll adds a personality of such sympathetic human qualities that he completely captivated the audience." Within the next few weeks, Mr. Lusk will give concerts in the Chris- tian church, Beverly Hills, Kimball Hall noon recitals, Euterpean Club of Morgan Park, and other places. Business Woman's Club Meets Monday, Jan. 14 HE Winnetka Business Woman's club wishes to announce that the dinner scheduled for Monday, Jan- uary 14, will be postponed indefinitely. Instead, the regular meeting will be held on that day in the Neighborhood room of Community House. CHICAGO MASONS START DRIVE FOR NEW TEMPLE John F. Gilchrist, vice-president of the Commonwealth Edison company, has been chosen general chairman of the committee arranging the campaign for the raising of $5,000,000 with which to erect a masonic temple on the site occu- pied in part by the Colonial theater, Chicago. Sixty masonic lodges have selected chairmen to participate in the drive, which will be held the week be- ginning February 4. These chairmen recently met at a luncheon at the Mor- rison hotel and received preliminary in- structions and general information con- cerning the movement to give Chicago one of the finest fraternal temples in the world. Elmer E. Beach, past grand master for Illinois, and president of the United Masonic Temple corporation, which will erect the temple, explained to the as- sembled chairmen details of the plan un- der which the temple will be built and conducted. He said that, calculating on the most conservative basis, the in- come from the temple would provide a generous margin for retiring the in- terest-bearing debentures after all ex- penses were met. He estimated that the income would approximate $700,- 000 a year. Olof Gates, a member of Ashlar lodge, is director of the cam- paign, headquarters for which are at 28 West Randolph street.
