SOME THINGS TO INTEREST THE STUDIOUS WOMAN
United Women OF America

The United Women Of America is a
national society being formed for the
purpose Of establishing and maintaining
high moral standards; breaking up
concentration of power and money by
greedy and irresponsible persons; en-
forcing the laws; securing equal wage
to women and men, safe immigration
laws, protection for immigrant girls.

child labor, and the observance of law

tional needs and get the suffrage If we
want IT,
Hundreds of clubs Of brave-hearted
women all over this country have been
struggling for years 20 bring about
certain reforms and their failure is
due 10 the fact that they are not big
enough in numbers.
But by sheer force Of strength Of
character in their leaders and hard
work. these clubs have accomplished
wonders. They have proved indis-
putably % that women, even in COM
paratlvey small numbers, can accom-
plish great things: Cd that women
can treat the vital questions of the
uaV as lmparIally and 1ntelngently
as men; and % they nave made
known to the world hundreds OF
splendid women who are competent in
every way 10 make a United Women
OF America a powerful organization.
They have paved the way 10 make this
greater union Of women possible.

absurd to talk about ingratitude 1t is not from

This is prejudiced point of view. The cat can
be taught that canary IS privileged nuisance

with such mistaken sentiment. The birds shrill
