WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Susan
B. Anthony whose life work culmin-
ated in the drafting of the national
suffrage amendment, is to be visual
lied to the 64th congress in a great
pageant, to be staged here next De-
cember
1t will be the 4Oth anniversary of
her proposal that the federal cOnstitu-
ton be amended so as to permit wom-
en- to vote. The spectacle in which
Miss Anthony is to be presented as
the Joan of Arc of the suffrage strug-
gle of America has been arranged by
Miss Hazel McKaye, a director of pag-
eants. She had charge of the suf-
frage pantomime given on the treas
ury steps two years ago at the Wilson
inauguration.
The event is being promoted by the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage, which is making the nation
wide fight for the Susan b. Anthony
amendment. 1t is planned as a means
of presenting concretely TO the new
and the old members of congress the
reasons for the demand that equal
suffrage should be a matter OF fed
eral, and not of state, legislation. The
introduction in congress a year ago, of
the state sovereignty substitution,
known as the Palmer-Shafroth amend
ment has given some of the demo-
cratic members an excuse for avoiding
the direct issue of national suffrage.
How Susan b. Anthony grew from
her work for the freeing Of the chat
tel slaves. the education of women
and the promotion of temperance to
the leadership Of the suffrage crusade
in America, and how she came to real
ize that national acknowledgment was
the one solution of the problem, is the
story to be told upon the stage for the
instruction Of the lawmakers.
Episodes from Miss Anthonys life.
from young wOmanhOOd to middle
age. will be dramatiZed in this pag-
