Educate Electors
SpecinF pispatoh to Tho Tt4buae

ATLANTA, Feb s.--The leaders of
the National League of Women Voters
met here to-day for the third regional
conference and the last regional con-
vention. They declared war on boss
rule of political parties and laid plans
for educating the women of the South
TO be intelligent, self-directed voters.
More prominent women were as
sembled at the conference than were
ever gathered together at one time and
one place in the history Of the South,
according to Mrs Julian Salley, OF
Aiken, s. c., chairman of the third
regional, in calling the conference to
order. They included the chairman and
vice-chairman OF the national league
and the chairmen of the nine Southern
states in the third region, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee
Florida and Louisiana
Miss Katherine Ludington, of Hart
ford, Conn, first regional chairman Of
the league, declared the league has
two forces which it must fight. The
first of these is reactionary, she said
and the second is the machine element
in political parties.
The necessity Of reaching every
woman in the South enfranchised up-
der the Nineteenth Amendment and
of carrying to them the message g.
their citizenship and their obligations
and responsibilities therein was tn,
subject Of an address by Mrs. MauC
W ood Park, of Washington, d. c., ra-
tional chairman.

Past National Commander Franklin

1t was adopted unanimously.
At it's meeting tonight the commit

II confer the Congressional Medal Of
Honor on the unknown French and
British soldiers who we're buried at

OF lt. would make il impossible for the

present form. 1t ia an agreement,
signed on December "a. 1918, by eleven
representatives of seven war relief or
ganiaations. among them the knights
lated that:
me seven organizations shall sew

their respective proportionate shares.
responsibility for work to be done and
all expenditures OF money be strictly
IN accord with their respective war
work activities; and none of the fund
shall be expended for general non war
work or for permanent structures, ee-
tablishmeEts, or for endowments.'
The fund referred to is the money
raised in the joint war relief drive be-
ginning November Ii. 1918, of which
each organization received q stipulat-
ed share, and which all combined to
make success. The provision against
permanent structures would seem to

When Chairman Emery's attention
was called TO this agreement he said
he would introduce 1t at his confer
ence, and also would propose that the
money be given outright for survey
OF the soldier victims of the war. This
diversion OF the money would be in
keeping with the agreement, and would
contribute it to cause which at this
moment is of greater concern to the
Legion than any other.
Politics Again Defeated
Still another effort was made to-day
at the executive committee meeting to
place the Legion on record politically,
and once again the veterans voted with
out dissent to defeat it. 1t was pro-
test by representatives Of Kansas and
Nebraska against ruling by National
Commander Frederick W. Galbraith jr.,
in which he refused to permit those de-
partments to campaign, as the Ameri-
can Legion against the Nonpsrtissn
League in their states.
Tho national executive committee
was asked to overruIe the commander,
but rejected the plea with little debate.
They even refused to adopt a resolu-
tion condemning A. c. Townley, or
ganizer of the league, and his assist
ants, fearing that such action might
be misconstrued as a slap at political
party.

the national finance committee should

kOPPER'S TWIN CITY COKE.
A Minnesota Product that Should
Appeal to the People.

In Minnesota one of the most SER
ious problems the people have to deal
with is that of fuel. ..
All sorts of fuel may be obtained
at some price but whether one gets
the greatest amount of heat for the
smallest outlay Of cash is anything
but certain.
Just now strenuous effort is be-
ing made to educate our people to the
several advantages Koppers Twin
City Coke has over other fuels among
which are: Il. III. -..
It gives clean, even heat.
1t is smokeless, sootless, and con-
tains no slate.
It solves the clinker and ash sitting
nuisance by burning to small
amount of fine, dustless ashes which
contain nothing to sift.
It is easily regulated to increase the
heat quickly in the morning or to
give slow, even heat during the day
and night.
It is more economical than hard coal
once the fuel standard.
If you wish to learn all about it
and how to use it, call Midway 1900
and demonstrators will call at once
and tell you all about it free.-Ad-
vertisement.

The explosive was discovered by city
