There seems to be quite a desire
on the part of club women to learn
about the Roosevelt Memorial, and
the part the federation clubs in this
state are expected to take in the pur
chasing of the Roosevelt birthplace
for a memorial. This is not an un-
dertaking of the national federation

^ "omen will remember that
some years ago, through the efforts
0 f the State Federation, family de
sertion was made an extraditable of
fense in Idaho. Of course this applied
only to the states. But many states
0 n the northern border have had
much trouble with husbands desert
ing to Canada, where they were safe
from extradition. Fer several years
a treaty with Great Britain has been
pending, making desertion or non
support of wife or children an extra
ditable offense as between the United
States and Canada, and this treaty
has the supptrt of the General Fed
nation of Women's Clubs,
The war interfered with the push
w through of this measure, but in
T 1917 th? treaty was duly
s i gned ànd submitted to the senate
ratification. I
Some objection was raised by the !
chairman of the sub-committee to
which the treaty was referred, who
thought it ought not to include the :
wife but in view of the fact that
forty states include the wife with the
children, this objection hardly seem
ed warranted.
