WHO IS NEVADA'S
GREATEST W0MAM1

Who are the greatest women in the
history Of Nevada!
The woman's National Foundation,
adopting the suggestion Of its execu-
tive head, AIRS. George Barnett, wife
of Major General Barnett. United
States marine corps, will include In
its new civic home In Warrington. d.
c.. q hall or remembrance to The
great women of America. In this hall
will be q column for each State n The
Union on which the women Whooo
memory Is considered worthy Of per-
petuation will have their names In
scribed. As the foundation IL no ar
bitrary body. its aim being to serve
rather than lead the feminine public,
the choice OF names suitable for COM
memoration will be left entirely to
the people of each State.
Suggestions are now In order from
the general public, to be passed on
later by local board, when the foun-
dation appoints it's State committees.
1t is considered desirable that there
should be at least one name to repre-,
sent each period from pioneer times
to the present day. Living women.
however. are ineligible.
That the final selection will not be
easy. any student of history can tes-
tify. for the field OF famous women h
very fertile. Who, for example, will
be chosen to represent Nevada? There
are many women worthy of this hon.
or.
The foundation might choose q list
OF them arbitrarily and not go far
wrong. But it wishes to make this
hall of remembrance a treasure-house
of the names which lead in the affec-
tions OF the people. Consequently It
now asks the public to search both
its heart and its knowledge of his
tory. It asks men as well as women.
children as well as adults. to take .
hand in making this hall a thorough
ly representative as well as beautiful
memorial to the women who helped
make America. 4
Suggestions should be substantiat-
ed by dates and records of achieve
ment. They may be mailed direct to
the Woman's National Foundation.
