VOICES OF BABES ALIKE
WHEN CRYING OF HUNGER
Mrs. Bishop Sees Little Difference
Between Walls In Chicago
and in Africa.

That the crying Of babies will determine
their future character is the unique idea
advanced by Mrs. L. B. Bishop, u
wealthy society leader OF Chicago. who
has been in Washington for several days
attending the conference Of the National
Council Of Women Voters
Il have Travelled in a number of coun-
tries and have come to pay much at
tention to crying babies" said Mrs.
Bishop, today. II have noticed that there
Is little difference between the wall off,
hungry baby in Chicago and one in
Africa, / think that fundamentally this
shows that at bottom we are all much
alike. The little differences simply show
the ways in which the babies will differ
In character when they grow up
Means Of Securing Publicity. =
Mrs. Bishop is known in Chicago for
her methods of getting publicity for
movements In which. she is interested.
Not long ago she offered prize for the
best suffragist song set to popular
music. and the results. she said. were
fierce
She states that she is perfectly happy
herself, because she has perfect
husband and a perfect son, but that
she did not see how any one could De en-
tirely contented while suffering and un-
happiness exist in the world.
THAT feeling is really at the basis or
the suffrage movement" she said. I'VE
know that the world is bound TO grow
better in order that men and women
may fulfill their ultimate destiny, and
We want to help all We can.
1.-THE suffrage movement is truly demo-
cratic, because 1t is based on the fact
that in the final analysis We are all
much the same kind of people after
all"
Social Function Tonight.
Mrs. Bishop is to entertain a party
OF suffragists and others from Chicago
tonight at the New willard Hotel. She
said that the work of getting suffrage
and other reforms has been SO heavy
recently that this is the first free
night she has had I'm months.
Among the guests she has invited
are Senator Lewis Of Illinois. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellis Logan, Mrs. Emma Smith
DeVoe. president OF the National Coun-
ell of Women Voters; Miss Alice Paul,
Miss Lucy Burns and other leaders of
