the feet of little children.
"As Il foundation for social security
for all races the family ideal must be
made possible by economic justice, by
religious sanction, by legal safeguards
and a single standard of morals.
1--WE believe that violence has no
place where people lend their support
in every possible way to the agencies
constituted by the people for the 'ap-
prehension, trial and punishment of of
tenders against society. We resent the
assertion that criminality can be con-
trolled by lawless outbreaks, and wom-
ans honor protected by savage acts of
revenge
1--WE believe it our highest duty to
pursue these methods toward harmon
ious racial adjustment.
1--WE believe that bitterness, resent
ment and strife will yield to mutual
trust only as we steadfastly cultivate
in both races these attitudes and this
faith in our common humanity.
"To these ends we pledge ourselves" "
Similar organizations of women have
been effected during the last year in
Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina,
Virginia, Tennessee and Texas. This
enlistment of the women is generally
regarded as one of the most significant

erected n spite fence, ten feet high,
have been compelled to remove it and
to pay damages after n three year

neighbors and $3.50 from the neighbors
on the other side.

PENDANTS in the case had appealed to
the Appellate Court, the decision or

was rendered forbids the erection of
any fence or other structure in the ma
ture of fence exceeding six feet in
height, "maliciously erected or main
tanned for the purpose of annoying the
owner or occupants of adjoining pro-
perty."

"Shortly after noting these facts, the
