NOTED SPEAKERS.

Addressing a group of representa-

afternoon, Mrs. John d. Wilkinson of
Shreveport, Chairman of the Louisi-
ana branch Of the National Woman's
Party, and Miss Lavinia Egan, of
Shreveport and Washington, d. c.,
spoke on the irregularities in the
Louisiana laws that affect women's
interests
Miss Egan, who is a member Of
the National Council of the National
Woman's Party, told Of the purpose
and policy Of the organization, which
is in no sense party as are the
Democratic and Republican parties
1t is, the speaker stated, a non-par-
tizan organization working solely to
remove the legal and civil discrimina-
tions against women.
Mrs Wilkinson cited numerous ar
ticles in the Revised Civil Code
which discriminates against women,
and said she will go to Baton Rouge
when the Legislature meets in May
with a bill to demand for the women
of Louisiana the same rights, privi-
leges and immunities under the law
