American WomanS League

and earnest a body of women together
In all my life. There is no parallel to
that convention in the history of the
world where 50 many people were as
sembled together with such oneness of
sentiment, with such clear cut compre-
hension OF what they were after and
with such a harmonious relationship.
There were no croakers, no kickers, no
knockers and not policeman on the
place. Talk about pulling together!
Well, that convention demonstrated be-
yond all question of d doubt that
they can pull together. Publishers who
said the women never would pull to-
gether' made the greatest mistake of
their lives"

a speech and responded with d clever

is affectionately called. is a perfect en-
cyclopedia of knowledge pertaining to
the American Women's league and was
a monument of patience in answering
the millions of questions asked by the
visitors. He knew everything and eV-
eryone and members carried from Uni
versity Cit ythe memory of his genial
manner and invariable courtesy. His
best stunt was his announcement on

chant as he cried, THAT California del

Miners"
Mrs. Hutchinson then led in songs
sung en- route and at the conven-
ton: Keep your faces to the sun
shine" and "Get the Lewis Spirit" In
which she was Joined by all the mem
bers of the Los Angeles chapter.
