M Rs. WARMERS ADVICE

Mrs. Leslie Warner, state president of the Tehnessee Suffrage association, was the guest of honor of the occasion and told tHe Birmingham women just how the victory in Tennessee had been won. She deflared that suffrage was secured in Ten nessee after one of the hardest Legislative fights in history, and when the wd rk was started in real earnest in Jan pary the outlook was very gloomy indeed. However, the women went to the capitol and for the first month did nothing but make friends with the members of the legislature, said Mfs. Warner. T attribute our suc- cess to| the facts that we made friends with tile legislature and that we kept our ow h plans to ourselves She spoke of the hard work in converting the membe1s of the legislature and of the many debuffs they had met with, but how del termined the women were and how th4y won by vote of 54 to 32.
 FIRST WOMAN VOTER
 'The first woman to vote in Tennes- see was Mrs. Della Hudson of Camden,'

said the speaker and she is so years of age. When the women registered in Chattanooga to participate in the city elections three of the boss politicians withdrew from the race The old world is dead and a new world has been born, declared Mrs. Warner and the women must take their place in the reconstruc- Von and upbuilding of this great coun- try. She expressed herself as believing Alabama would soon follow Tennessee in a suffrage victory.
 Commissioner John R. Hornady made short talk extending @ welcome to Mrs Warner in behalf of the city and the Birmingham Equal Suffrage asso- citation. He declared the home was more than the four walls of the house which the people called home, but meant the city, state and county. After looking al the women making this fight l am willing to trust the making of the municipal home, state home and na~ tional home to these women," said MT Hornady.
 SOLDIERS ALLEGED ATTITUDE
 Jack Bowron, recently returned from France made a short talk in which he declared the majority of the soldiers over there were in favor of equal suf- frage. These men have made the world safe for democracy and a place where the statesman can Slt pdCk auu uSiip- crate on matters of importance" said Mir. Bowron, and they are sick and tired of the slow way in which the suf- frage question is being handled. If the statesmen can't give us the freedom we desire let's get some there that will We are proud of TenneSsee's victory and are going to get suffrage just as that state did"
 Mrs. Kenneth Charlton explained the leagGe of women voters born and adopted at the national convention in March For one year it will operate as a part of the National American Wom- an Suffrage association and at the ex- piration of that time will become the League of Women voters. The various points of this new league were eX- plained at length by the sepaker in her usual manner and was most instruc- tive as well as interesting.
 THE VOCAL COURSE
 MT. and Mrs. Al Ryan rendered selec- tions, including "'Till We Meet Again." T Hear You Calling Me, Tennessee" and others.

PATRIOTISM OF DIMICK

T regard it of the greatest import ance," said MT Dimick, that Birming- ham be represented at the national conference of world war veterans at St. Louis next week The American legion is officially recognized by the war department. Our boys should go there and find out just how their com : rades feel throughout the country.
 We all realize that returned sol diers haven't got spare funds to take railroad jaunts across the country. They are busy in reconstructing their affairs to meet living expenses and hopes of the future. Then it seems up to some of us to raise little pool and see that Birmingham is represented al the American Legion conference. I don't care who goes, but I'll have enough money to take care of at least three delegates by Saturday. I will hand these funds over to the temporary state secretary of the American legion, who will select the representatives to make the trip. I don't see why any fuss should be made about this. It is only a small part of what we all owe the boys"

JORDAN ON ORGANIZATION

The soldier, sailor or marine out of a job today realizes just what organ iaation means. Organization is going to mean more and more to veterans as the present patriotic ardor ebbs away. Personally my coat is off, I am going to make this my work, and I appre- ciate the high honor the veterans of Jefferson county have bestowed on me.
 God forbid that our association should ever become the mouthpiece Of any politician or set of politicians. Rather let it be our record that politi7 clans shall be our mouthpieces and be proud to speak for us"
 Frank z. White, Jr., member of the board of trustees of the World War Veterans and temporary state secre- tary of the American legion, stated to Major Jordan that it was extremely im- portant delegates be induced to at tend in enational convention in St. Louis. Mo. on May to May 10. MT, White also announced that Dan B. Dimick. president of the Southern club, had a plan to raise some funds from selected patriotic citizens to send tho tend the national convention in St Louis.
 Mir Dimiek stated last night he would have the necessary funds for at least three delegates to make the St. Louis trip by Saturday.
