The Won1ans Prohibition League of
Shreveport, which was such factor in
influencing for good the vote of Caddo
Parish iasf JANUARY, enters with mem
bership of $50 upon its second year with
many avenues open for good work, and
satisfaction at work already accom-
plished. The work has been quiet but
persistent. The attention of the School
Board has been called to the law requir-
ing that instruction be given pupils in
the public schools regarding the dan
gers of alcohol and narcotics.
An ordinance was presented and
passed forbidding the practice of Gig
arctic smoking by minors or selling of
cigarettes to same About six thousand
tags bearing the words louisiana needs

distributed, accompanied with unlimited
drinks of pure ice water at small
booth at the Louisiana State Fair. the
water being dispensed by the members

A policy of good fellowship has been
most consistently maintained and culti-
waited by two reunions to which all were
invited irrespective of convictions re-
garding the maral or commercial value
of prohibition. These reunions have
been largely attended, the literary, mu-
sical and social features having been
fully appreciated. Refreshments were
served contributed by friends of the
League The one held on New Years
eve was in conjunction with the Men's
Prohibition League, and was a quiet,
happy demonstration of satisfaction at
the close of the liquor era i'll Caddo.

Statewide prohibition were sent by the
League Maps showing the Southern
States as white Or black according to
their position regarding the sale and
manufacture of alcoholic beverages were
sent to each legislator. asking his as
sistance in passing a prohibition bill.
Telegrams to our Caddo representatives
were sent urging support of prohbl-
ton bill A cartoon was sent to each
legislator, picturing the menace to the
white women from the drunken negro.
The Club realizes the privations
brought upon a large number thrown
out of employment by the adoption of
prohibition, regrets their present en-
barrassment, but is more than ever con-
vinced that prohibition we'll enforced
