By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Mrs. Angus Nj. Taylor, who is state chairman for Alabama of the Anna How ard Shaw memorial fund, declares that no cause which has ever been under taken by suffragsts has met with so warm and so tender a reception as the opportunity to contribute toward the building of memorial to the one woman above all others who was universally be- loved in the suffrage world and whose spirit stillslives on even though the wom- an herself is dead.
 With Mrs. Earl Pettus as state treas urer for Alabama of the Anna Howard shaw memorial, Mrs Taylor looks for ward to the result of the work on Tues day, November }, as being prophetic of beautiful epoch in the lives of women not only because it marks the day that gives them the opportunity to cast their first vote, but because of the opportunity to perpetuate the name and the memory of Anna Howard Shaw, who more than any other one individual made voting for women a fact.
 Mrs, Taylor gives out the following n- teresting information in regard to the conditions which will govern the situa- sion on Tuesday for the memorial.
 
 practically every polling place on election day of this year, November g. according to plans outlined by the committee in charge of the Shaw memorial fund.
 They will be there to remind the 15 coo oo0 qualified women voters of America the majority of whom are voting for the first time, of the debts of gratitude they owe to the pioneers of the suffrage cause They will be there to ask the women voters to give 8 thank offering" to the Anna Howard Shaw memorial fund which is being raised for the purpose of making fitting memorial to the woman who, above all others, was instrumental in gaining the passage of the nineteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States granting suffrage to wom- en citizens.
 Most of these women sentinels will bear banners and all of them will be armed with collection baskets, plates or containers, as well as pledge cards They will not ask anything from men voters, but, of course, they will not reject an offering from male citizen Their ob- ject is to get the women to express, with a large or small donation, their thanks to the woman who fought their battle for them and won for them the vote
 The Anna Howard Shaw committee has complete organization in forty four of the forty eight states, and probably will have every state organized by cleo tion day. In each state an enthusiastic group of women, formerly identified with the suffrage cause, is working hard to make this plan complete success and to cover the entire country with thank offering sentinels. With the full pres tige of the old suffrage organization back Of them, there is no doubt that every part of the nation will witness this unique sight of woman, without the slightest af a Tho al daxr k. polls
 Philadelphia was the first place where the sentinels were organized. The entire suffrage organization of several thousand women will be used in that city to stand at the I 400 polling places. Director of Public Safety Cortelyou has already given them special permit In Pittsburg the home of Mrs John O. Miller, general CT airman of the Anna Howard Shaw me |. morial committee, similar permit has been granted.
 Tn New York, Miss Mary Hays is or ganizing the suffrage sentinels and ex poets to get a permit Boston also Is well organized and 1t is expected that Mrs. Medll Mccormick will arrange a similar ceremony. Prospects for large turnout at the polls in Buffalo. N Y.,. are also bright.
 Practically on the eve of victory, Dr. Shaw died. Fate had decreed that she should not live to witness the culmna ton of her work. But the women who had followed her into so many battles did not forget her or her valiant services. They decided to erect suitable memorial in her honor. and authorized the raising of $5CO,Ooo fund for this purpose
 Considering the late Dr. Shaw's ex- tremely practical ard humanitarian out : look upon life, it would be inappropriate te to raise s memorial in her honor which was not useful and especially useful to the cause she spent her life in advocating. Therefore, the committee decided not to erect a monument, but to make the me- morial fund serve some purpose allied to the main aims of Dr. Shaw's life-the so- cial, political, economic and professional advancement of women
 ''So it was decided to divide this SOO 900 equally between Bryn Mawr College for Girls to endow foundation in politics for women. and the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania to endow a Foundation in preventive medicine These two objects were close to the late pr. Shaw's heart. and she would Undoubtedly appreciate them more than any other memorial to her honor
