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. . ,

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

being "Domestic Service Problems."

dress" will be delivered by Alexander
Johnson, field secretary of the com
mittee on provision for the feeble

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

Facts."
These talks will be followed by a dis
cussion by eminent men and women,
and by additional talks on "Immigra-

Mrs. Charles H. Castner Calls At
tention to Change In Constitution
Regarding Committee Chairmen.
M1
RS. 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.
