The Delaware League of Women
Voters will hold its second annual

mington on Wednesday and Thursday,
October 18th and goth.

but in addition to that office holds
the honor of representing thirteen of
the big leading wOmen's organizations
in the United States, as chairman OF
their Joint legislative committee at
Congress-wi be present throughout
the convention.
Of particularly interest to club wo-
men in Delaware is the fact that op-
porunity will be given them at this
time for hearing Miss Grace Abbott,
chief of the Children's Bureau Of the
q. S. Department of Labor at Wash
ingtOn. AS successor to the famous
Julia Lathrop, Miss Abbott will be in
charge of the administration of the
Sheppard-TOwner bill when it becomes
a law. This bill carries with it an-ap-
preparation of one million dollars to
be distributed among the states for
the protection of maternity and in
fancy.
Many other speakers of national and
local prominence are scheduled to
speak at this convention cOnven-
tion which, by the way, invites the
public regardless of race, creed or po-
litical faith to attend and enjoy. To
prove it's all-partisan attitude in poll
tics, those members who happen to be
saunch Republicans are urged to
show their true sporting blood by
bringing a dyed-in-the-wOOl Democrat
with them and vice versa.
The mug-camps too, are included in
the invitation. The following Organi-
cations in the State have been asked
to send fraternal delegates. The Della
ware Federation of Women's Clubs:
