Organized First Club in 1903 Mrs. Lawson's club work is no mere hobby. It is a career in itself, and she has taken it seriously since 1903, when she organized the first woman's club in Nowata and one of the first in the State.

Lawson in 1901. she began to stimulate her neighbors', interest in social activities for ths improvement of their community. Five years later the Indian and Oklahoma federations of clubs combined, and the young wife who had made it possible was elected first secretary of the combined groups. In 1917 and 1919 Mrs. Lawson was chosen State president and in 1918 and 1920 became a director of the general federation.

N. June 27 (AP). The chances of Mrs. Eva Coo to escape Sing Sing prison's electric chair were considered slim today as Governor Herbert H. Lehman steadfastly refused to comment on the case.
