THE AMERICAN
WOMAN'S LEAGUE

The story of the first national con-
vention of the American Womans s
league has been told The press mas
chronicled the fact that women can
pull together" that women from nam
/ let's, villages and cities, from noun
| tains and deserts, can stand by
great cooperative principle; that they
can rise above private ambitions ana
carry the banner inscribed THE great
est good to the greatest number
Everywhere the Los Angeles chapter,
with it's 1910 members, has been recog-
nized as the banner chapter OF the
United States, and Its greatest prlde
is the honor of being the first TO Sc
cure recognition from the local press.
There is no metropolitan sheet so hon
ored by the members of the American
| Woman's league as Los Angeles Her
aid the first great paper to become the
! official organ of local chapter FROM
coast to coast has come a thousand
| inquiries, public meetings were held TO
answer the question, How was 1t ac-
complished?" Women are now be--
ginning to understand that Mr.. Lewis
| splendid principle of reciprocity must
be applied to the problem of publicity
| through the press; that it is contrary
to every law, human and divine, to eX-
pect something for nothing. Every
member of the league who reads the
| Womans National Daily knows or the
bungalow, and il good wishes would
win il the bungalow would be the prop
erty of the Los Angeles chapter on the
evening of June 80, 1910. But it viii
require something more tangible than
| wishes to secure this beautitul bunga-
low, and now, in the last week of the
contest, 1t behooves every member to
take an oar in the boat-to secure just
one months subscription and the Los
Angeles chapter will have business
headquarters, a temporary chapter
house and a permanent league home.
Is it worth while? Is ii worthy 5O
cents to every one of the 1910 members
of the American Woman's league in
Los Angeles2
