The eyes of the clubwomen of all the country are turned toward New Tork. - The' g-eneral federation convention will open on May 23i and without doubt will bo the largest gathering of club-- -women ever held in the United States. Portland will have representatives at the big convention. The plans for the biennial have been completed after many months of hard work on the part of the New Tork local board. They have spared no time, expense or energy in arranging for the pleasure of those who will visit the metropolis as delegates or alternates to the convention. . , BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. ALTHOUGH so far away from the center of club interest, Oregon has its share in the big biennial Ingathering in New York city. Four teen splendid clubwomen will repre sent Oregon at the convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs which will convene on May 23 in the metropolis. Oregon's president, Mrs. - Charles H. Castner, went with the party of North western delegates that left here on Wednesday. She will share in the hon ors that have been prepared for the dis tinguished visitors. The question of eligibility to the Gen eral Federation is an important one, which is also to be duly considered at the council meeting. The clause in the by-laws dealing with "sectarian or po litical" tests is variously interpreted, and it is thought by many that it should be more explicit. Reorganization and other important subjects will be dis 'jussed at the council meeting, and it will doubtless be more largely attend ed than ever before. There will be special conferences during the entire convention, from May 23 to June 1. Mrs. James W. Remick, of New Hampshire will hpld a conference with the state chairman of industrial and eocial conditions on Wednesday. May 24, at 2:30, at Hotel Astor.

On Monday afternoon. May 29, an ad dress" will be delivered by Alexander Johnson, field secretary of the com mittee on provision for the feeble minded, on "The Weakest Children of the Great Mother State." On May 31, at the regular morning session, follow ing . the report of the chairman, Mrs. Remick, the Hon. Thomas Mott Osborne, of New York, will deliver an address on "Prison. Management." In the after noon of the same day will occur the in dustrial and social conditions confer ence, at which the Hon. Frank P. Walsh, of Kansas City, former chair man of the Federal Industrial Commis sion, and Hon. John D. Lawson, dean of the University of Missouri Law School, will speak on "Industrial Facts." These talks will be followed by a dis cussion by eminent men and women, and by additional talks on "Immigra- i ,, v. xt;.. x .. . a . : . 1 1 : null, uy luisa iuai y -n.ui.AU, -rt.inr3i lUttil- ization of Women," by Miss Frances 1 Kellor, of New York; "The Work of the M RiMttli C t r rt n in VillarTA Tm .wsur Am an A o sociation," by Mrs. Thomas A.

Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the President of the United States, will be the guest of honor at the opening session of the biennial, Wednesday evening, May 24. The Marchioness of Aberdeen and Te malr, president of the International Council of Women, will attend the bi ennial, accompanied by her friend, Mrs. W. E.

CHARLES CASTNER, presi dent of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs, has sent her offi cial greeting to all the clubs of Oregon. Following ia the message she wishes all clubwomen of the state to notice: The attention of the newly-elected presidents is called to the change made in the constitution at the last federa tion, that the chairmen of standing committees only be appointed, and that each club appoint a chairman to cor respond, and they in turn become mem bers of the state committees. In this way each club has represen tation on each state committee. Clubs are urged to make these changes, as it will greatly facilitate the work of each committee. 'Following the suggestion of the chairman of Immigration, clubs are es pecially urged to appoint this chair man. The president will attend the bi ennial in New York and hopes to bring back Inspiration for the coming year. Mrs. S. M.
