1t is proposed to establish here an
international women's congress in
connection with the league of nations
and an international women's bureau
to raise the status of women through
out the world as part of the league.
The Women's World Union, the aims
of which are moral and spiritual rath
er than political and the Women's
International League for Peace and
Freedom. Of which Miss Jaqe Adams
of Chicago is the president, have their
headquarters here.
The executive council of the latter
organization will meet in Geneva
June IA. prior to the congress of the
international Women's Suffrage Al
lance June 6-12. This suffrage con-
gress will be the first since that in
Budapest in 1918. 1t is expected to be
very important and will be attended

Egypt. India. Japan and other ORR
entail countries will attend
For Strike in Case of War.
The Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom is especially
active since the Zurich congress a
year ago when a resolution for a uni
versai international strike of women
in case of another war was unani-
mouSly adopted
This somewhat radical league has
begun campaign for treaty revision.
In an ironical paraphrase of the slo-
gan. ITO end war" the Versailles
treaty is called peace to end
peace"
The league proposes to encourage
the study of the international Ian
guages Esperanto and lido as an aid
in conducting its congresses. Its
Geneva bureau is in charge of Emily
Balch, an American woman.

"Of course, Johnny Chuck looks like

Old Mother Nature. Johnny is very
none of the gracefulness of the true
Squirrels, but you will notice that the
shape of his head is much the same
as that Of Happy Jack He has a
Squirrel face when you look at him
closely. The " oodchucks. sometimes
called Ground Hogs. though why any
one should call them this is more than
! can understand belong to the Mar
mot branch of the Squirrel family,
and wherever found look much alike.
LAS you will notice. Johnny Chuck s
coat is yellowish- brown: his feet are
very dark brown. almost black. and
his head is dark brown with light
gray on his checks. Beneath he is
a member of the Squirrel family. and.
although it is bushy. it is not very
big. In color it is dark brown. He
has number of black whiskers
Some Woodchucks are quite gray
and occasionally one is almost or
Gray Squirrels.
Johnny here is not fond of the
Green Forest. but loves the Old
Orchard and Green Meadows. In some
parts of the country there are mem
bers of his family who prefer the
edge of the Green Forest. You will
notice that Johnny's legs are short
and strong and armed with stout
claws. Those are to help him dig. for
all the Marmots are great diggers
What other use do you have for those
claws. johnny"

Johnny promptly.

was spared a demonstration by dele
gates to the worlds convention of
temperance workers recently held
here only because one of the London
members warned the women that such
action would be illegal. The proposal
was made by Mrs. Lee Cowie of New
Zealand. who aroused the enthusiasm
of the delegates by telling them that
New Zealand women had been sue
cessful in a temperance demonstra
ton She said that when the New
Zealand government was too busy with
the war to attend to temperance leglS-
lation, the temperance workers there
organized the silent march in Wei
lington which SO impressed Legislators
that the temperance bill was passed
by the house of parliament by a small
ma jority. She said, however. that the
bill would have to be adopted by
three -fifths of the house before it be-
came a law in New Zealand.
"Why don't you women march or
parliament from this convention?"
she urged. You don't want hatchets
and hammers. If you don't get into
pa arlia ment the very fact that you
ma rch to the house to pray may show
that you are in earnest and at any
rate they might give Wales her bill"
This suggestion was received with
much enthusiasm, until Lady Carlisle
pointed out that it would be Illegal.
and that the convention would have
to arrange delegation and not, a
demonstration to go before the house,
1t was decided to send the delegation.
Miss Agnes Slack. summarizing the
progress of the temperance move
ment. said that Finland and Iceland
have obtained prohibition and that in
Denmark the work was nearing COM
