0T1 HE suffragists of Alabama will
 meet in a war convention in
 Selma on Tuesday and Wednes- of this week This gathering will mark the sixth annual convention of the Alabama Equal Suffrage associa- ton, and will be one of the most inn portant meetings of women ever held Tn the state, as well as an epoch making one in the annals of woman suffrage
 The convention will be in every sense a business one, and only work CTS will attend. First in importance will come the discussion of the war work and legislative programmes of the organization for the next year. In view of the passage by the House of Representatives of the federal amendment and of the surety of early and similar action by the senate, and in view of the fact that the Alabama legislature meets next January and will be called upon to ratify the fed eral suffrage amendment along with the prohibition amendment, it be- hooves the suffragists to lay their plans for the next twelve months with great care They are confident that their measure will go over the top in the legislature, expecting this to be the last convention they will ever be obliged to hold
 Every congressional district in Ala bama will be represented at the Selma convention, although the attendance will not be as large as in former years, due to a change in the con stitution of the organization which has reduced the number of delegates
 It seems very fitting that Selma should be hostess to this most vital convention, for six years ago, the Sell ma Suffrage association entertained the first annual convention of the Ala bama Equal Suffrage society The Sell ma league is the pioneer among the suffrage organizations in the state dating from 1910, and numbers among it's members some of the most devoted, brilliant and energetic suffragists in the state. Miss Mary Partridge is its efficient chairman, and she, with Mrs Julian B. Parke, now state chairman Mrs J. G. Wilkins, Mrs F. G. DuBose and Mrs F. T. Raigford, were the founders of the organization.
 It has been customary to hold the conventions in late January or early February, but the meeting was post poned this year owing to the fright full weather conditions, and also in the hope that action on the amend ment would have been taken in the Senate before May However, safe in the knowledge that their measure is sure to pass at this session, support ed as it is by President Wilson and all the strong members of the cabinet the suffragists are content to wait un- til important war legislation is dis posed of, before asking for immediate action on the suffrage amendment.
 The officers of the Alabama Equal Suffrage association have just issued the following call to the Selma con vention:
 The Alabama Equal Suffrage asso- citation will meet at the Hotel Albert Selma, Ala. on Tuesday, May ', 1918
 .The executive committee will meet at 9:30 a. m.

be given on the work being done by the 2i units of the county.
 Other important business will be dis cussed and one of the most interesting features of the afternoon will be the talk to be made by Mrs. John London on: How the Red Cross and Council of De- fense Cooperate" A talk will be made in regard to the nome science work of the Red Cross, showing how the organi- zations belonging to the council can as- sist in this war work
 Mrs. " w. Long, who has recently returned from Camp Wheeler, will tell about conditions to be found there.
 Reports will be given of the child wei fare exhibit and plans will be outlined for the child welfare work.
 The report of the food economies and food administration committee will con tain valuable information for all house keepers and the home and foreign re lief work will appeal to the hearts so all women.

 "As is consistent with the times, this convention will be strictly business one All members are urged to send a full delegation of earnest workers in order that business may be expe- dited and wise decisions reached for the advancement of the work in Ala bama
 "The past year has brought the cause of woman suffrage almost to the goal All political parties and all national party committees have now endorsed woman suffrage. The house of representatives has passed the fed eral amendment by the necessary two- thirds vote, and the Senate will doubt less take similar action before ad- iourning This will bring us to the last enemy trench-ratification

joicing with all who are glad. For many years she has acted as ministering angel in constant, personal service. The soldiers boys are taken into her home and heart and inspired to higher duty. Mrs. Reynolds will go down in history as one of Alabama's grandest characters, her life shining as a beautiful benediction to womanhood.
 During the past week plans were per- fected by representative women of Annis- ton to bring every girl of 'teen-age in the community into an organization which will train them in worthwhile ac- tivities of every kind. This movement was inspired by talk from Mrs. H. A. Coleman of Washington, who is in An niston to be near her son, Perry Cole man, now in service at Camp Mcclellan. Mrs Coleman is director of the Girl Scouts in Washington and one of the most active and prominent leaders of the Girl Scout movement in America.
 At the home of Mrs John B. Knox on Thursday afternoon large coterie of women interested in the welfare of our girls gathered to meet and learn from Mrs. Coleman something of her wonder

SENIOR PLAY AT LOULIE COMPTON SEMINARY

.sThe Spirit of Youth" the play writ ten and preserted by the class of 1918 Of Louie Compton seminary, was witnessed by a packed house of enthusiastic spec tators on Friday night.
 The senior play is the great event 1T school life al the seminary, and each years class strives to choose a more in teresting subject and make their cra- matic effort more attractive than any of it's predecessors.
 The class of this season chose French subject, having as it's historic basis Marie Antoinette at the Trianon- Every detail had been carefully studied, as to places, people and customs. The stage setting, costumes and atmospheric con ditions made one feel as II they really had been transplanted to the romantic, beautiful La France" ot few cen turies ago.
 Every girl acted her part so we'll that personal distinction is almost impossible. Yet Miss Hattie Lee Taylor as Madame Marie It the Trianon" was so naive and charming as to make one believe she must be of French extraction.
 Miss Wilma Waggoner as Count Cog liostro had difficult role to fill. but dfs- tinguished herself by it's successful exc cution.
 Miss Agnes Durant as Nicole Legay and Ruth Vintson as Philip de Taver- ney were splendid in their respective roles
 One of the most beautiful features oi the play was the Shepherdess dance, by the ladies and gentlemen of the French court.
 To Miss Julia Bergman, who has Tor more than a dozen years been heal teacher of English, is due the enterprise and success of the seminary seniors m the unique and diHicuit class or play writers and actors. Following is the cast of 'The Spirit oi YoutA:''
