Oversea Hospitals organized by the National Suffrage Association was
$1,000. At a luncheon given by the St. Louis League May 8, where Mrs.
Charles L. Tiffany of New York was the speaker, $4,331 were subscribed
in fifteen minutes. Mrs. Miller was chairman of the Food Conservation
Committee of the National Association and Mrs. George Gellhorn
organized its work for Missouri. All demands of the Government were
fully met.

In May, 1917, the State convention was held at Kansas City and Mrs.
Miller having returned from Washington was again elected president.
This year a Men's Advisory Committee in St. Louis was formed composed
of 147 well-known residents organized under the following leaders:
Jackson Johnson, N. A. McMillan, Ernest W. Stix, Joseph Woracek,
Edward F. Goltra, E. N. Grossman, Benjamin Gratz, J. L. Babler. A
teachers' division including many thousand was formed, with Miss
Tillie Gecks as president. Largely through the efforts of the
