CAROLINA CLUBDOM
State Federation Notes
By MBS. C. S. NOBBES, State press Chairman
More and more our club women are
mixing with their study of literature
and the fine arts, a study of the most
essential art, home-making:. The de
partment of home economics of tl\e
North Carolina Federation has sup
plied the main instruction from outside
sources to the club women on phases
therefore the home economics program
for our federated clubs during 1922-23,
as outlined by Mrs. Estelle T. Smith,
of Goldsboro, chairman of this depart
ment. is of especial interest.
“In planning a home economics pro
gram,” said Mrs. Smith, “I would sug
gest that a local program be formula
ted to meet the local needs of the com
munity or of the individual^ club mem
bers. This can only be done wisely
after making a survey of the commu
nity and using the information gath
ered as a guide for activities that are
practicable. I shall be glad to furnish
copies of plans for this survey to the
clubs.
‘‘At this time when federal and state
funds are available for a home eco
nomics education, it is necessary to
know if your community is getting
its proportional part, or if not, why?
Make a study of the money available,
that needed from local funds, the
equipment, and what can be done by
the club to further the interest in and
opportunities for studying home-mak
ing.
“Just at this time when there is a
demand for economy there is the great
est need for your co-operation along
this line. All of us, I am sure, are
gratified over what has been done in
our state for the rural girls and women
by the home demonstration work; and
realize that statistics in malnutrition
alone today show the need for our
girls to appreciate the importance and
necessity of training for the profession
of housewife.
‘‘Dr. P. p. Claxton says: 'Of all the
• iris, those pertaining: to home-making
are the most important, and of all the
sciences, those which find their appli
cation in the home, making us intel
ligent about the home and its needs,
are the most significant.’
‘‘The study of home economics should
first be directed toward nutrition, in
relation to health and efficiency. Proper
nutrition not only for the school child,
which includes a consideration of the
.‘chool lunch and the hot dish supple
ment. but proper nutrition for the indi
vidual adulj; in each family and the
community.
“The study of food does not mean
merely a study of recipes, as many
people are apt to believe, but includes
i study of the production of foods,
! heir preparation and service, funda
mental principles underlying the cook
fry of all foods, food values,*, combina
tions, food for children, food for the
rick, correct habits of eating, market
ing and storage as well as many other
related subjects.
“The attention of club women was
directed to curb markets a year ago
ijnil with their co-operation .and the
eo-bperation of tjie extension depart
ment, 12 curb markets were most suc
cessfully operated during the past ses
;• ion with some half dozen more ready
in begin operation another year.
“On our program, also, comes a study
*-f clothing, wrhjch includes attention to
! i rics, principles of design* appro
p! iationess, color, use and, alteration
of patterns, clothing budget and econ
omy in buying.
"We must remember .that a study of
the home includes a study of home
grounds, selection of the site, materials
for building, rooms and their arranges
ment, house furnishings and furni
ture. Closely associated with the house
is the problem of home management.
“Club women will be interested to
know that Miss Helen Louise Johnson,
of New York city, may be secured for
lectures during February and March in
our state; and Dr. Frank Alvah Par
sons, president of the New York School
of Fine a,nd Applied Art, may be se
cured through the Raleigh club. It
has been my good fortune to hear both
of these speakers and funds expended
for securing same will be well worth
while.
"It seems to me that every home
maker, in fact, every woman, should
be interested in the study of home
economics, defined according to Ellen
H. Richards, as ‘Home,’ meaning the
place for the shelter and nurture of
children, development of self-sacrific
ing qualities and of strength to meet
the world'; and ‘economics’ meaning the
management of this home along eco
nomic lines as to time and energy as
well as money.”
Goldsboro Club Is Civic Factor
The woman’s club is now a great
civic factor in the life of Goldsborp.
Sphere are 240 members, many of them
added during the past year. The club
is divided into five departments, along
the lines laid down-by the general fed
eration, civic, hom& economics, educa
tion literature and music. The club
has established a cafeteria, where only
the best food is served, and the pat
ronage is constantly increasing. A
$19,000 lot has been purchased, $9,000
of which has been paid. In the near
future it is hoped a handsome club
home ^will be erected.
Spirited Resolutions By New Bern Club
At a recent meeting of the New Bern
Woman’s club, a committee of two was
appointed to call on the school trustees
and ask them to provide some way of
furnishing the children who remain
at the public school during the noon
hour-with at least one plate of hot
soup during the winter months.
After a report from a committee
which had been instructed to interview
the mayor and board mf aldermen upon
their reasons for voting to continue or
revoke the permit of the Metropolitan
club, the following very spirited res
olutions were .adopted: . I
“Whereas, the Woman’s club deems
that its object in having a committee
visit the mayor and aldermen has b®e"
accomplished, which was U). "
information from our city officials, (2)
to, show these officials that the club
w^men are watching the reports of
their meetings with interest, (3) to
rouse d women of the town to
greater interest in politics and civic
hetterment, therefore, be it
"Resolved That the club send a note
to fhe mayor and aldermen thanking
them for their Response to the club’s
request and to say that the «l«h thinks
this subject needs further investig
tion and has confidence that in our city
officials that they they wHl do what is
best for the young men of £he
"And be it resolved, That we, me
individual members of the Womans
Club, are convinced that it is our du y
hereafter to take more interest in civic
affairs and we determine in future
elections that we will take active part
and stron&ly support the men who
have worked and voted for the right.
"Be it resolved that these resolu
tions be made public.’'
General Federation Headquarters Now
Miss Margaret Lovell Gibson, of
Wilmington, state federation director
of North Carolina, who is in Washing
ton, D. C., this week attending the
meeting of the General Federation
board, writes that the beautiful new
home, which the general federation of
women’s clubs has purchased in the
city of Washington, will be formally
opened during the board meeting.
Miss Gibson also makes the following
plea to the North Carolina club women
to pay off their share of the debt in
curred in purchasing this building:
"As is well known throughout club
dom ,the General Federation of Wom
en’s clubs lias purchased a handsome
residence in the city of Washington to
be used as general federation head
quarters—1734 N street, N. W. To
finance this, voluntary subscriptions
are being asked from the club women
of America. Mrs. Winters, the presi
dent, desires that these subscriptions
shall in no way be considered as as
sessments, either upon the clubs or
upon the individual members.
"However, at Chautauqua the states
made pledges to the amount of $100,
000, a number of the states subscrib
ing several thousand each. North
Carolina pledged only $500,000; and we
feel sure we can quickly raise this
amount and perhaps even a larger
sum.
"Will the individual clubs place this
before their members, and secure as
much as they think that they can af
ford toward the credit of their state?
Checks can be made payable to Mrs.
Thomas G. Winter, or to me as state
director through whose hands all
North Carolina funds are expected to
pass."
Mrs] Cooper In Washing-ton
Mrs. Sydney P. Cooper, of Henderson,
state federation president, is spending
the week in Washington, D. C.,‘ at
tending the board meeting of the Gen
eral Federation.

THE STAR PLAYS
i HOST TO GRAND
MOTHERS OF CITY
Free Tickets to See “Grand
ma’s Boy” at the Grand
j x Thursday.
! -
Grandma’s day has come! We have
; long; been of the opinion that the
| writers of screen stories had been
J overdoing the “mother" sympathy
angle and had overlooked the dearest,
‘ most cherished and lovable character
| around the household—Grandma. In
! “Over the Hill,” “The Old Nest" and
1 kindred screen dramas the laurels
j have been heaped upon mamma's head
j until she has a headache.
But now Grandma has come into her
j own with the filming by Harold Lloyd,
of his first five reel super-comedy erea
J tion. "Grandma’s Boy,” and the Star is
so anxious that all of the aged women
of Wilmington get a chance to enjoy
[ this picture which places them right
! up on the high pedestal, that arrange
j ments have been made whereby the
Star will play hosts, to all the grand
! mothers of Wilmington during the
I opening day of the pictures at the
| Grand theatre. . ,
! “Grandma’s Boy” was selected by the
i organization of critics of America as
the greatest comedy , production of
1922. It was selected for third place oil
the list of the ten* greatest pictures of
all classes during that year, the only
two standing ahead of it being "Robin
| Hood” and "When Knighthood Was In
1 Flower.” But under all the humor, all I
| the Infectious mirth which Lloyd ra
diates from the celluloid surface of this
screen play, there is a lesson for. cow
ards, the puny, the hesitant, and its
story centers about the most cherished
of American ideals—courage.
*> It is through this high universal re
spect for the cleanliness" of Harold
Lloyd’s screen work and for the high
tribute that Grandma's Bay” pays to
the grandmothers of America that the
Star invites all grandmas in Wilming
ton to be their guest on the opening
day of this picture It matters not
how. many there are—we haven’t even
attempted to estimate the number—but
fifty, five hundred or five thousand—
there’s a ticket waiting for everyone of
them at the Star office.*
The tickets will be available on and
after tomorrow morning; an<J all you
have to do is call at the Star business
office, tell us you're a grandmother in
good standing and vour ticket to
laughland will be handed over. Not*
all-to-gether! Let’s see how many
grandmothers there are in Wilmington
who are proud of it!
Several London physicians have ex
pressed the opinion that "strap .hang
ing” is good exercise.

ite Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur
Almost everyone knows that Sago
Tea Jfcci Sulphur, properly compound
ed, WTngs back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the
only, way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound,” you will, get a
large bottle of this famous old recipa,
improved by the addition of other in
greditents, at a small cost.
Don’t stay gray'! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evently. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap~.
plication or two, your hair become^
beautifully dark/ glossy "and attrac-^
