There are more women members of Congress thiU^ever before, there ure more women executives of organizations that are interested in various J ; legislative projfcsals and there ar^ more women throughout the country who ar? taking a more or U&s private I but nevertheless eager interest in the! congressional procedure. The special sessioiv called,for the purpose .of revising the tariff law and enacting farm relief legislation, has elicited more interest in feminine circles than the same problems would have aroused even Ave years ago. Through their local organizations, affiliated with national federations, the women have learned about national affairs, they have studied the tariff atul its effect upon all industries, and have formulated their own ideas about farm relief, based on their association with farm women and with organizations devoted to the interest of agriculture. The General Federation of Women's clubs, representing more than 3,000,000 women who are members of local elubs has not pladod itself on record on either tariff or farm relief, but it has been instrumental in organizing study groups. "Through its rural committee_work it has also endeavored to interest farm women in its organization and sought to bring about concerted action by the rural women on their problem. The National League of Women Voters is planning to disseminate information on both sides of the two questions, and its congressional workers hope to get action started^ on some legislation that will continue the provisions of the SheppardTowner maternity act providing Federal aid in maternal and infant welfare efforts. The National Womans Party, which _has cu| its objective th^addition ol an equal rights amendment to the constitution, will seek action on it during the special session, basing its hope of success on the fact that the woman's suffrage amendment was adopted during a special session ten years n&o. . Of the eight women members of the 75th Congress, the five who were members of the preceding Congress have taken the forth-coming session much more easily than have their new sisters. The old-timers have gone about the preparatory cleaning up of their offices much more calmly and they have not attempted to do everything that everybody has asked. The three new ones, Mrs.' Ruth Bryan Owen, Florida; Mrs. Ruth Hanna MoCormick, Illinois, and Mrs. Ruth Baker Pratt, New York, -have felt it necessary, however, to put Up just the proper pictures, and arrange the uncompromising four walls of their new offices in a more , endurable fashion man they found them. They nave not, however, allowed this task to interfere with appointments and busy preparations to take over their legislative duties on and off the floor of the House. PERSONAL NEWS NOTES Mr. N. G.

Trees are budding forth, and through their branches one catches glimpses of the beautiful bowers of blossoming dogwood and honeysuckle, while a closer in?|H>eiion will reveal the opening stem of >weet shrubs which give out their delightful odor. Such scones inspire one to take Vmg strolls in the woods, and drink in their beauty and fragrance?and also they bring the temptation to break o!F the blossoms and take them home. Many thoughtless ones do this, and thereby take from nature's beauty and color one of her crowning glories. This is a violation of the state law, which places u penalty on the breaking of shrubs without the written consent of the owner, and also mars the beauty of the landscape. We appeal to all those who have been desecrating the forests to desist from this practice, and to leave these beauties of nature where they will delight the eye and lend their fragrance to the utmoapherc, thus further enhancing the charms of a God-favored section of country.
