Brethren Church, 6 to 7 o'clock, Monday Research Club. Mrs. Leo Saylors, 2:30 p, ni. RESEARCH CLUB MEETS WITH MRS RUSSELL OWENS Mrs. Ruesel Owens was hostess to the members of the Research Chib and one guest Monday afternoon at her home on North Fifth street. Current events followed the chib collect, Mrs. O. L. Vance, the . leader for the afternoon read a |mper on "Two Catharines”. The paper was very Interesting and most . capably done. "History records the accomplishments of many men and women who arose to almost utwolutc power in the land of their adoption -Napoleon, DeValera, Hitler and years , ago, two women- Catharine de Medici and Catharine the Great of Russia. ’’Catharine de Medici, (1519-1589) of Italian birth, became queen of France. Her ruling passion was ambition. Her unprincipled policy in fostering her aims, also fostered lasting enmities among the French iwnjlr, exhausted the finances of the country and demoralized her court. "With her wonderful abhLy as an < rganlzer and a diplomat, had her! first concern been the welfare of the Frenh people, she might today ! be honored as the equal of Queen I Victoria. ’’Princess Sophia. (1729-1796) o’ Prussian descent, became Catharine, Empress of Russia. She aimed at being an enlightened despot. Her foreign policy included the subjection of Poland and the annexation of Crimea. ’•Doth aims were achieved but in the process the poll tax was doubled. the currency debased and the serfs reduced to misery. This woman eo proud, so self-willed. s.> ambition, today would approve lust , for material resources, would disregard any mention of "spiritual I values”, and would be utterly con- ; temptuous of popular interference in the conduct of state business”. During the business meeting which followed, each member was requested to bring two or three b,,Oxs io the meeting next Monday as her contribution to the "Books for Indiana Prisons” drive.
