MRS. JOHN B. KNOX, MRS. HARRIS E. KIRK, MRS. BEN I. HUGHES,


 With these beautiful words of inspira- ton the movement was started and from simple but earnest beginning the work has developed tremendously, and from every state in the union. every man and woman with spark of patriotism every loyal American citizens has gladly lent his sympathy and encouragement when the plan has been presented.
 No better selection could have been made as to Alabama s representative than Mrs. John B. Knox. whose gracious ness and sweetness. whose ability and n- telligence combine in making her one of the most beloved and honored women in this great commonwealth and with her intense interest and enthusiasm in re- gard to the Ellen Wilson Memorial" there seems to be no reason why the women of Alabama should not be among the most prominent in the country in pro- noting and forwarding the idea.
