 Purpose Purely Patriotic.
 The league is nor-partisan. 1t will not attempt to hold shows Or expo sitions or endorse any specific arti- lies Made in U. S. A." It is purely md simply a patriotic organization and aims to crystalline the patriotic sentiment among American women nto "a better and more understanding support of home industries. If American women get into the habit ,f asking for Made in U. s. A." artl- ,les, the good practice will continue 
 In all of the league rules soon to oe made public, appealing for the sup port of American women in the Made in U. S. A." movement, it is emphasized that the consumption of products and articles "Made in the U. s. A." gives employment to men an dwomen who live in America anl .hus helps at this time to aid the dis tressing and increasing problem Of the vast number of unemployed.
 Another point made is. that the members of the league will expect American manufacturers and pro ducers to produce goods or the proper quality to be sold at tht proper price. The call points out that it is just as important for nlaru- lecturers and producers to nave goods of quality to offer to women as it is to have women demand Made in II. S. A. goods, end that the patr:' ntic ,co-operation of both should d3 much to bring about better times ana render mutual service of the natioll' !
