Mrs. L. J. Cox, one of Terre Haute'a most prominent club women, is the choice of the Fifth district club women for president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. She was endorsed some time ago by the Fifth district at its convention in Plainfleld and since that time local women have been enlisting the support of women all over the state for her election.

Mrs. Cox was for several yearB president of the Civic league of Terre iHaute and later acted in other official capacities of this organisation. Sbe ia one of the former presidents of the Terre Haute Woman's club, said to be one of the most progressive in the city and for two years she served as president of the Equal Franchise league. She is now one of the vice presidents of the state league and also vice president of the local league. t. Her ability as a parliamentarian has gained for her the reputation of being the best in the state among women.

Mrs. Cox is well informed on all the important questions pertaining to women as well as the present day ^"topics and problc.ns of other kinds. 'She is the mother of several children, one of whom, a boy, is engaged in '^business in California.

With the remainder of her fatttily, she is spending the summer in the west. Among the clubs of the Fifth district which have endorsed Mrs. Cox are:

Athenaeum,. Clio, Forerunner, Friday Literary, "Literature Study, Portfolio, '^Pythian Literary, Round Table Study,

Saturday Cirole, Young Woman's and the Tuesday clubs.

With a picnic spread as the social feature, the Inasmuch Circle of King's Daughters met with the president, Mrii. Louis Oorth, for Its afternoon meeting Thursday. Of the 126 members of the circle, which is the largest in the state, more than 60 were present to answer the roll call with quotations from the Bible or some noted author.

Keeping before it all the time the /motto for all its work, "In His Name," f%he meetings of the circle are very reH&ligious in nature. Mrs. Ostrander, tel&Sehaplain, read the Bible lesson, giv^."intsr a little sermon as to the meaning Iff of the verses and this was followed by jpk prayer.

Among the things done by the circle J§ to raise funds for its charity work are the making of quilts, qulltlpg them

Vfter they are made for other people, ^Sacking comforts, knitting, crocheting, sewing carpet rags, giving occasional luncheons and rummage sales. They give $1 a month to each of the following: The Crittenton home, Social 'M Settlement, the T. W. C. A., Fresh Air

Emission and the Day Nursery. In addition to this, individual members of ^the circle at various times visit these Aistitutions to give personal service jXnd keep in touch with the work being done by them. An entire family that was poverty stricken was supported four years by the Inasmuch circle.

The annual dues of the circle are ^twenty-five cents for each member. Of -,this amount ten cents is sent to the durational King's Daughters, ten cents given to the state organization and the remaining five cents put into the charity fund.

By those who have kept In touch

with the Inasmuch circle, it is said i-that the amount of good the members have been able to accomplish and the ^suffering they have been able to relieve with their limited finances ia wonderful. "It certainly shows their ability as financiers," ono woman said of them.

Other officers of the circle are Mrs. •Johnston, vice president Mrs. Philips, ^treasurer Mrs. Burgan, secretary.

very interesting letter has been VfreOTWed by friends from Mrs. Ella Schlicker, who, with her family, are spending the summer In Mlerton, Wis.

She describes the wonderful weather and scenery which has served to make the state of Wisconsin noted for its delightful toummera. Mrs. (Schlicker has a cousin, Miss Lily K. Haass, secretary of the T. W. C. A. in China, who has written a most interesting description of the weather and customs In Pekin. She writes, "Nothing Is more Interesting to meet on the way to school than & funeral procession. On the days declared favorable by the soothsayers we may meet several. If a person dies at the wrong time the body may be kept even as long as forty or fifty days. The size of the procession depends on the importance of the Individual. The funeral of a young prince who died recently took two hours to pass a certain place." The mourning garb of the Chinese Is white In place of our black. Miss Haass does not Meem to be Interested in the Jap outbreak. Mrs. Sohlloker and family expect to remain In Wisconsin until the opening of school.

One of the largest donations of the week to the Fresh Air Mission was sixty glasses of Jelly and fruit given by the wives of the Vandalla engineers, through Mrs. Charles Lockwood and Mrs. Harley Davy, Who lent their services in gathering the donations up and delivering them to the mission. These will be greatly appreciated by the children. Other donations for the week
