Five months after incorporating
the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial
Association was able to take title
TO the two houses in Twentieth
Street, and the work of restoration
will begin as soon as the leases of
the present tenants expire. This
will be in the early autumn.
Examination Of the property re-
vealed that more of the Roosevelt
birthplace exists than was thought
probable in view Of the many vicis-
STUDIES through which it has passed.
The original walls still stand and
only'the front Of the house has suf-
fered marked changes. This will be
restored to the last detail, including
the purple wistaria vine that en-
circled the old-fashioned high stoop
and climbed above the second story
of the house. When the two houses
have been restored Twentieth
Street will possess classic examples
of the quiet and comfortable
domestic architecture of New York
when Madison Square was its
Fashionable centre and Central Park
was still the country. Houses like it
are plentiful below Twelfth Street,
but they are rapidly being re-
modelled into small apartments and
studios. In few years the restored
birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt
will be almost the last reminder of a
time when New Yorke S outside the

and in spite Of the fact that Georgia
is one of the "Solid South" it is be-
lieved that there is hope of ratifica-
ton. Senator Harris came out for
suffrage this spring ard Representa-
tive Upshaw voted for the measure

spring. All of these are favorable
predictions for woman suffrage be-

ME first conference of COM
q mittee chairmen of the
League of Women Voters has
just been held at the national head
quarters Of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association. Mrs.
Charles H. Brooks, of Wichita, Kan,
national chairman Of the league
said this week that she was we'll sat
istied with the results Of the con-
ference. The League of Women
Voters was inaugurated by the Ma
t'onal American Woman Suffrage
Association at its jubilee convention
in St. Louis in April.
Mrs. Brooks said she found that
the programme Of the league "seems
to fit exactly very general need. y
Gwen in non-voting sections of
the country where women are not
yet eligible for membership in the
league preparatory measures are
being taken to mass women in ad-
vance along the lines Of work which.
as voters, they will soon be called
upon to put through" she said.
New Jersey is one such state. 1t
is so sure chat ratification of the
Federal suffrage amendment will
be prompt that at its state suffrage
convention in May it voted to turn
the old state association for suffrage
into a league of women voters to
take effect as soon as the women of
the state are qualified. OQe Of the
first acts Of the women Of Atlanta,
after they gained the municipal pri-
mary vote, was to make a local
league of women voters to prepare
for citizenship.
A measure was presented to the
conference relative to food supply
and demand by Mrs. Mabel c. COST
gan. Mrs. Costigan is the wife of
Edward p. Costigan, of the United
States Tariff Commission.
AS the League Of Women Voters
voted in st. Louis to "stand back of
the Federal Trade Commission in its
effort to secure remedial legislation
IN the meat packing industry" Mrs.
Costigan feels that she will have
behind her in her effort to cnlighten
and arouse the women Of the coun-
try on the food situation strong

THE Woman's Roosevelt Me-
3 mortal Association has made
good start toward collect
ing the $4,000 needed to make up
the $4,000 which is the purchase
price of the house, % East Tween
tieth Street, the birthplace of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and the adjoining
property, 26 East Twentieth Street.
An old friend Of Colonel Roosevelt
offered to duplicate the largest dona-
ton made to the fund, and one of
the women officers of the associa-
ton Immediately raised her sub
scription to $4,000.
This was the first very large do
nation received by the association.

tions Of $40 a year for administra-
tive purposes, contributions to the

T<ROM the map it apears that
- the East is keeping we'll ahead
of the West on the matter of
of woman suffrage. Here
tofore suffrage maps have shown a
great expanse of white west of the
Mississippi river, a sort of notified
effect along the Mississippi indi-
eating presidential suffrage, and,
with the exception of New York, a
black stretch along the Atlantic
coast. These old maps showed where
woman suffrage was in effect
through state action.
State ratification of the Federal
amendment is reversing the color
scheme. Kansas is the only state
west Of the Mississippi river that
has ratified.
Two non-suffrage Eastern states
ratified last week; the Pennsylvania
state Legislature. acted on Tuesday
and that of Massachusetts put the
measure through Wednesday. Three

amount Of $4,000 have been made
by $3.50 donors. The vast majority
Of these contributions were sums
ranging from 81 to $40.
The Woman's Roosevelt Memorial
Association planned from the begin.
ming to keep the project a demo-
cratic one, but they were not pre-
pared for the extraordinary range
of the Roosevelt following. Literally
every class except the red flag class
has been represented in those who
have voluntarily become donors.
Money has been received from China,
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, England
and other foreign lands, from Can
ada, and from every state in the
Union. A man from Iceland came
into the headquarters Of the asso-
citation, East Fifty-seventh Street,
recently to give his bit in person.
mo American has been so greatly
admired in Iceland as Colonel Roose~
velt," said the man. Everybody
in our country knows all about his
career and his vigorous life. l have
had the honor of translating some
OF his speeches into Icelandic, the
eldest living language, and l hope
to translate his autobiography. It
will greatly please our people to
know that Colonel Roosevelt read
and admired our literature. He
speaks of it in his book
A committee has been formed in
the National Arts Club to cooperate,
not only in the purchase of the birth
place, but to uphold its aims and
ideals. Mrs. Frederick Nathan is
at the head Of this committee. An
other committee has been formed in
the Colored Women's Republican
Clubs. Mrs. William Curtis Demores t
and Mrs. John Iselin are acting with
S''S NO4iliiiiI+SS' L llIEt states. h2N
lucky, Ohio and Vermont, have
formed state organizations, with
rapidly growing membership rolls.
A real tribute to the democratic
good fellowship of Theodore Roose-
welt was the admiration he invari-
ably won from those who worked
with and for him. The young women
forming the clerical and office force
OF the Outlook Company, most of
whom Colonel Roosevelt knew by
name, became donors to his me-
mortal in a body. The force of
seventy-five or more sent contribu-
tons and have secured other dona-
tons.

millionaire class could afford to have
an entire house to themselves.
The house will be something far
more valuable than a relic of old
days, or even shrine to the
memory of great American. It is
the object of the association to use
Roosevelt House for the perpetual
ton and promotion of the strong
Americanism of which he was the
prophet and teacher. Too little of
what he stood for in national ideal
ism has yet reached the alien masses.
They do not know America, and
Roosevelt House is to be devoted to
bringing America to them. Glasses
in English, classes in naturalization,
in citizenship and in American his
tory have been planned, with lect-
ures, moving pictures and other
means of teaching the stranger what

it does those in another section for
exactly the same work.

League Of Women Voters Holds
Its First Conference

sonnet Of the League Of Women
Voters who has record for fitness
is Mrs. Jacob Baur, of Chicago,
chairman of the Committee on I'M
provement in Election Laws and
Methods. She is preparing a ques-
tiOnnaire to be sent to the state
chairmen under her national commit
tee in order to assemble at once what
educational tests qualify voters in
the various states, what methods of
recounting are used and how they
may be bettered, how the primary
works, etc.
The immediate activity of the
Women in Industry Committee, Of
which Mrs. Raymond Robins is
chairman, is an appeal to the gov
ernr It for an appropriation of
$4,000 for the National Women
in Industry Service headed by Miss
Mary Van Kleeck.
Mrs Robins was authorized by
the League Of Women Voters in St.
Louis to exert all the pressure pos
sible for this appropriation and for
the permanent establishment of the
service. She says that such buy
reau is greatly needed BY the 12,-
100000 or 100000 women work
ers in the country These women
constitute one-third Of all the in
dustrial workers in the United
States. She believes that the Wonl-
en- in Industry Service should be a
clearing house for all problems in
cdental to industrial womanhood.
The leagues committee on citi-
zenship, of which Mrs. Frederick
?. Bagley is chairman, is now work
ing for an electorate in which every
citizen, man or woman, shall be able
to speak English, read his own ballot
and understand something of Amer
lean ideals and principles.
The Child Welfare Committee was
represented by Miss Julia Lathrop,
of the Federal Children's Bureau,
and Mrs. Percy V. PennybaclIer, Of
Texas.
In behalf of Or. Valeria Parker,
of Connecticut, chairman Of the So
cial Morality Committee, DR.. Kenyon
brought to the league an invitation
to participate in six weeks con-
ference on social hygiene, which will
begin its sessions in September Of
this year. 1t is called together by
the Y. w. G. A.
The central clearing station for
all these committees will be found
