THE FOREIGN WoMEN's VOTE.

The Women's Clubs held joint
meeting on Monday and organized a
campaign to register every foreign
woman voter in Chicago.
Miss Jane Adams, who called the
original meeting last week, when forty
women's organizations were repre-
scented, explained Mondays gathering:
There has been enough stirring up
of political societies and prominent
organizations interested in civic life.
Stirring up more enthusiasm among
these woman leaders is not going to
solve the problem of getting Chicago's
100000 eligible woman voters to the
polls. The greatest number of Chicago
women ever registered were 306,92O in
the 1919 mayoralty election. We want
the other 100000 TO show up at the
polls"
At Mondays meeting were repre-
sentatiyes Of Bohemian, Polish, Italian
and Lithuanian organizations, holding
memberships reaching into the hun.
dred thousands.

To Save u. S. Mothers and Babies

A quarter of million American
babies died last year of preventable
diseases-most of them before they
were year old and in the same
year twenty-three thousand women
sacrificed their lives because skilled
care and medical advice were not
available when they were TO become
mothers. What makes this record
even more shocking is the fact that
among fifteen important countries
fourteen show more favorable ma
ternal death-rate than our own enlight-
ened and highly civilized United
States. and seven of these countries
show a more favorable infant mortal.

These alarming statistics are Of
