WOMEN ID RESTORE
 THE BIRTHPLACE: IF
 COLONEL ROOSEVELT

Mrs. John Wetherill Of Tucson. chair
 man for Arizona for the Wofnan's Roosevelt Memorial association. has just received from Mrs. John Henry Hammond. president of the association. the following statement cutting it's aims and purposes:
 The Woman's Roosevelt Memorial association is a national organization of American women which is to re- store the birthplace of Theodore Roose- welt in New York City. The associa- tion was started almost immediately after Colonel Roosevelt's death with a permanent object in view. Later the Roosevelt Memorial association was formed, but at no time has it been connected in any way with our asso- citation. Unfortunately there has been some confusion in the mind of the public owing to the similarity Of the names of the two organizations. While both associations are. 1 am sure en- tirely sympathetic with the purposes of each other. it is important for the public to know they are entirely sep arate and distinct.
 ''The Woman's Roosevelt Memorial association had from the first a defin- ite plan, namely: the restoration of Theodore Rooseve1t's birthplace. The site of his birthplace and the. ad join ing property East Twentieth street have been purchased and completely paid for. An architect has been se- lected and the work of rebuilding and refurnishing the structures as they originally stood will be carried on ac- lively this year. It is for this definite purpose that the Woman's RooSevelt Memorial association. indepedent of any other organization, plans to ask the American people, especially the women of the country, for funds to complete this work and to provide suf ffcient endowment for it's upkeep and operation as a shrine of Americanisnn which people from the entire country will visit in increaSng numbers as the years go on.
 Just as the women of America re- stored Mount Vernon and assisted in the restora ton of Lincoln's birthplace at Hodgenville. Kentucky. they have now set out upon this definite plan.
