No one ever had more loyal sup
porters than E. G. Lewis. founder OF
the American Women's league, ana
there is a reciprocal obligation rest
ing between him and the members.
The American Woman's league can
not be an accomplished fact without
the planning of the founder and the
co-operation of the members of the
organization. The organization of a
mems University league is being agi-
tated but Mr.. Lewis will neither for
get nor ignore what has been made
possible by the American Woman's
league. Mr.. Lewis declares that the
league has proved a surprise to bus1-
ness men who prophesied that the or
ganization of chapters would lead TO
social difficulties among the members
that they would not pull together in
any business undertaking-but Mr.
Lewis atflrmS INT women never DelOIS
have had an opportunity to unite in
any great business enterprise calling
for qualities of endurance, harmony
and loyalty and self-elimination
which men are trained to from boy
hood. more than man has ever been
willing to sacrifice for anything. This
fact has never been contradicted.
Throughout the country many chap
ter houses have been built, and
through the splendid, earnest work of
the members are setting an example
that is an inspiration and source of
courage to the heads at University
CITY who watch every message from
the battle line. The self-sacrlhce, 10y
atty and earnest, intelligent efforts or
the women of the American Woman's
league have not surprised Mr.. Lewis
There is not in existence an organiza-
tion of women equaling it or holding
in it's grasp such limitless power and
opportunity for usefulness Mr.. Lewis
has enlisted only the best and highest
class of intelligence among women. A
membership in the league is worth
more to any woman and her family
than any other investment, for 1t
offers so much for so little.
Mr.. Lewis has given every energy
resource and ability of mind and body
and personal fortune in the great bat
tie for a new era and wider opportu-
mites for women in the perfecting OF
his plans for the American Woman's
league.
