 Trip n Hudson Six Tn Interest of Woman Suffrog
By DOLLY DALRYNPLE

More and more women are dropping into the great field of suffrage work all over the country, taking whatever equipments they have and diverting them into one common channel.
 There was time when only very few women actually worked for suffrage, al- though many more would have probably liked to do so had they known in what capacity they could be of use.
 What can we do?" was walled. We can't make speeches. and so they sat back and watched ''the other fellow do it.
 Then they began to realize that speech making was by no means tine only work that suffrage entailed, and with the reali- zation more and more women came to con- tribute their mite to the cause and it be- came matter of astonishment how many kinds of work could be utilized
 Women in all professions began to come forward-women writers, and stenogra- phers, women lawyers and teachers, ar lists and sculptors, actresses and play wrights, society women and women of leisure and wealth-all offering strong ar- guments for suffrage in their various kinds of work, and if one had no particu-
 lar talent or profession she could at least assist in the general work of spreading suffrage, but she has devised new and "newsie, and sell suffrage literature, all the requirements necessary to help the cause.
 Prominent in the cause of suffrage in Birmingham is Mrs. Oscar R. Hundey, who with her ingenious cleverness and ever ready originality has not only fol- lowed the path hewn out by the pioneers, of which she is one, in the cause of equal suqrage, but she has devised new and attractive methods of reaching the people throughout the state, especially those in the rural districts, and the latest innova- tion for which she is responsible is the "cross state trip which she will make, leaving here this morning and carrying the votes for women doctrine to her fel- low citizens throughout the state.
 Mrs. Hundley's attractive personality, her beauty and her wit. her genuine and fervent Interest in the cause which she is espousing, all make her a dominant figure
 in the work of suffrage in the great com monwealth of Alabama, which has been centered upon by the National Suffrage association as the vantage point for ac- tivties during the present year.
 On the attractive trip which Mrs. Hund- ley has planned, which will carry her into a number of towns in the state, she has invited Mrs. A. J. Bowron to accompany her Mrs Bowron has always been an active worker in suffrage ranks and her keen intellect and unusual ability have won for her an enviable place among the prominent suffragists of the state, which is an honor among women, since the brainiest the biggest and the most in- tellectual have enlisted in the cause. Mrs Hundley and Mrs. Bowron are both good speakers-they understand the suf- frage question from beginning to end, and their fellow workers in Birmingham are expecting great results from their "cross-state trip" which will not only be big triumph for suffrage, but a most pleasant opportunity to enjoy Alabama from an automobile standpoint, skimming the roads in rapid fashion, stopping here and there, dashing on and then again visit, combining work and pleasure at various places.
 In chatting with Mrs. Hundley about her "cross-country trip" yesterday, asked her among other things how she happened to plan this trip. I laughingly suggested that the possession of a brand new car probably had something to do with it. orwell, I let her answer the question without further suggestion, and she said
 'I have been wanting for sometime to
