name AND PURPOSE
OF WOMEN'S ORGAN
IzATlON CHANGED
Kentucky Equal Rights Association OF
Become Kentucky League Of Women
VOters-Meetlng at Louisville.

At the last annual meeting of the
Kentucky Equal Rights Association in
Lexington, January 8, a resolution was
passed that upon the ratification by
thirty-six states of the Federal suf-
frage amendment or up on the grant
ing to women of presidential suffrage
by the General Assembly of Kentucky
the Kentucky Equal Rights Associa-
ton should automatically become the
Kentucky League of Women voters. AS
soon as Kentucky women became vot-
ers, either by state or federal action,
it was agreed that the board of direc
tors of the K Il. r. A. should call
meeting of all the women of the state
for the election of officials of the Ken
for the adoption of constitution and
bylaws. On March 19 the board met
at the Seelbach Hotel and appointed
committee to arrange a time, place
and a program for meeting of all the
women of the state to organize the
Kentucky League of Women Voters.
This committee now reports that a
meeting of all the women in the state
without respect to party affiliation is
called at the auditorium of the Seel-
| bach Hotel. Louisville, Monday May 3.
Since the Democratic State Convention
will be held May some apprehension
has been expressed that the presence
1f Democratic women delegates would
give a preponderance of Democratic
women in the meeting to organize the
| Kentucky League of Women Voters.
Since the future success of the league
| depends upon its non-partisan charac-
| ter, it is hoped that the two parties
| viii be represented in approximately
! equal numbers. The League of Women
| Voters concerns itself with those ques-
lions of legislation and administration
| that are of equal concern to the good
men and good women of both parties.
| Whether you are a Democrat or Re-
| publican. locally, you prefer to drink
i ana Datne IN clean water, as REGARDS
state matters. you wish the state S
wards, the defective, the delinquent
and the dependent cared for in a hu-
name and enlightened way; nationally
you wish for such legislation and ad-
ministration as will make home the
best and happiest place possible. Have
women without respect to party a
common point of view? The league OF
women voters seeks to find that COM
mon point of view and to formulate a
program which all women can work
for, each in her own party.
1t is hoped that Mason county will
send to Louisville for the meeting on
May 3 "a goodly number of women rep
resenting both parties.
Mrs. Maud Wood Park, Chairman o.
the National League of Women Voters
and Mrs. Gerard, Regional Director fol
the region to which Kentucky belongs
will be the chief speakers.

Proposition to Ways and Means
Committee.

At the special meeting of City Coun-
Gil held Friday evening at the Council
Chamber, DR.. Covington, of the Inter

the child work by the full-time Health

portant.

which the city was asked to contribute
$500 with S2,5OO the county Fisca
Court would give, the matter was re
ferred by Council to the Ways anC

the timber on tract of 1000 acres in
Martin county, Kentucky, has been
purchased by them and will be remov-

on the grounds and work at removing
the lumber will begin next month. The
tract has been cruised at FIVE million

The company is made up entirely of
Maysville and Mason county men and
the following officers have been elect
ed
President-R. L. Newell.
Vice President-George Kirk.
Treasurer-W w. Ball, Jr.
'y-Manager-Henry Gallenstein,
Jr.
Mr.. Gallenstein leaves the first of
the week for the land and will be in
personal charge of the work of cutting
and saving the lumber for shipment.
Practically all of the work of saving
and removing the lumber from the
tract has been let out by contract and
while the company will have an Office

The gentlemen who are financially

there is absolutely no question about
their company meeting with immedi-
ate success.

The MineIaylng System.

Admiral William S. Sims writes In
the Worlds Work: IF you had been
following one of the mine layers while
it operates, you would probably have
been surprised at the apparent sim
plicity of the task. The vessel was
going at its full speed; at intervals
of few seconds, huge black objects,
about five feet high would be observed
gliding toward the stern; at this point
they would then give a mighty lurch,
fall head first into the water, sending
up great splash, and sink beneath the
waves. BY the time the disturbance
was over the ship would have adj
vanced a considerable distance; then,
in few seconds, another black OBJ
ject would roll toward the stern, make
a similar plunge and disappear"
