Pan-American conference
Probably the most logical place TO have
held this important meeting would have
been in the beautiful Pan-American Union
building. but alas, the same difficulty
was encountered as faced the Washington
arms CONFERENCE.-THE Of space for any
kind of a public meeting. So the u. A.
r. again come to the rescue, as they
did with the arms conference, and again
offered their own beautiful Memorial Con-
tinental Hail

Friday, April oS following a very hectic
day, when the convention and Pan

Of course there will be an opportunity
to visit al places Of interest IN the
National Capitol, but the league pro-
poses TO make Washington Day some
thing more than sigh seeing tour. Dele
gates win visit the Senate and House.
not only TO look on from the galleries
as most tourists do. but to meet their
own Senators and Representatives.
There will be heart-to- heart talks
when women themselves viii have an OBJ
Ject lesson in National politics. These
meetings viii take place in the offices Of
the Senator Of each State, but the on
tire State delegation Of Senator'S and
Representative will be expected to meet
the women from their own State calling
