women first in the realms of human
endeavor, In peace or in war. To pull
pit, platform, bench and.bar she has
given leaders, beyond compare. In
science, literature, art, drama, story
song and battle, she has gained re-
nown. Her star on "Old Glory" adds
strength to the Union. Her sons have
proven illustrous pilots Of the nation
Her Edison and her genius have driv-
en- back the darkness and beckoned
the Gcd Of Progress on.
