THE WOMAN CITIZEN Jefferson
 Voters-Edited by Mrs. Hugh L. Alison.

Fay Benton, Mrs. J. w. Daniel, Mrs. C. D. Brooks Mrs. W. D. Colby, Mrs. Solon Jacobs, Mrs. James Kirkpat- rick. Thank you.
 New officers In Gadsden and Dothan.
 One of tho best workers in the league has just been made president of the Gadsden league-Miss Annie Joe Coates-and her election insures splendid year for Gadsden. Miss Coates was treasurer of the old Ala bama Equal Suffrage association and has been treasurer of the state league since it was organized. She is one of the prominent business women of Gadsden and a prime mover in the Business and Profess sional Women's club. She is capable and consecrated to the work of po- litical and civic betterment, and we congratulate the Gadsden league upon its new president. Mrs. George Hall. another good worker, has been made secretary and Miss Coates writes that she is expecting much help from Miss Ita Stocks, who is state president of the Business and Professional Women, and whi lives in Gadsden.
 From Dothan. too, comes the news of the election of fine young busi- ness woman, Miss Bessie Whitmire, to the presidency of the Dothan league. She succeeds Miss Sarah Crawford and has recently applied to headquarters for a copy of the eight-hour bill which the league is sponsoring, with the purpose of hay ing copies made and the bill freely circulated in her district, so as to secure for the bill the support of Dothan's representatives in the leg islature.

 women Never Too Old To Learn. William James Is credited with saying that a person never has any new ideas after he has passed the age of 20. How depressing such a creed must bel Fortunately, we are not called upon to believe it, for psy- chologists tell us that William James IS no longer an authority.
 Age puts no bar on mental achieve ment, so far as women are concerned. at any rate, is the belief of Miss Belle Sherwin, first vice. president or the National League of Women voters. Here is her cheering mes sage: The mature woman learns raster than the young woman. No woman anywhere need feel herself

 To ascertain conditions relating to the increase in child labor, 30 cities have been surveyed. In Birmingham the number of children receiving em- ployment certificates during the first half of 1923 compared with the same period of 1922 shows an increase of 63 per cent. Springfield Mass, re- ports an increase of 215 per cent; Pittsburg, 127 per cent; San Fran cisco, S5 per cent. How has a decis- ion of the United States supreme court brought about this increase? In 1919 a federal law which placed a tax Of 10 per cent on the net prof it's of all mines employing children under 16, and of all factories employ ing children under 14 was enacted Although an indirect method, this 10 per cent tax helped to decrease child | labor. Since the business man em- ploying child labor contrary to the restrictions of the law would have to pay the government one-tenth of his Income, the tax would be so great that child labor would not be profit able. After being in operation three years, its constitutionality was tested in the United States supreme court, where it was repealed in May, 1922. In declaring the law unconstitu- tional, Chief Justice Taft claimed that the regulation of intrastate la bor belongs to the state and not to the government. How many crimes are committed in the name of state rights?
 To right the evils of child labor, Felix Frankfurter, professor of law of the Harvard law school stakes his hopes on the woman voter. He says: why should not the League l make it the order of the day to put wise child labor law upon the
 statute books of every state-and what is generally overlooked-an

too old to learn anything" She be- lieves the day will come when women will no longer look upon middle age as a time when real work Is ended, and there Is nothing left to do but to help bring up their grandchildren, but as a time when they are free to take up new interests and new studies.
 In Cleveland. O.. the members of the Visiting Nurses association, all of whom were women of mature age, decided to take a course in English. To make clearer reports and to write convincingly of their work, they felt the need of better equipment. When Miss Sherwin determined to provide the course for them her friends re- monstrated and tried to persuade her that it would be a waste of time. What could women out of school for years, mental muscles stiff from disuse, get out of such a rigid course?" they asked. To use Miss Sherwitl's own words, they fairly ate up that course and assimilated it wonderfully. I am firmly of the opinion that the mature woman can learn anything she sets her mind on. for she has a mind that can be set and stay set"

For the next two months, the main effort of the League of Women Voters will be bent towards increas- ing it's membership. Last year the league had more than 1000 members, enrolled and dues paying. This year it is hoped to increase the number, and double 1t, if possible, although 1t will be no easy talk on account of the fact that this is not an elec- tion year and hence the thoughts of women are not so turned towards matters political. However the work of the league is day in and day out, year in and year out matter. It's chief function of educating and arousing women to their responsibilities as citizens does not cease when elec- tions are over.
 What Is the League Of
 Women VOtersf
 Beginning with the organization in it's nationwide aspect, the National League of Women Voters Is composed of affiliated state leagues, of which the Alabama League is one-not more than one for each state. The state leagues are made up of affili- ated local leagues.
 It is not a woman's party. It Is not a club. It does not limit its member ship to certain groups It Is inclusive, not exclusive. It concerns Itself with women as voters. and invites to mem bership all women who wish to be efficient voting citizens.
 It Is not allied with any political party. It is not opposed to any polit- ical party. It Is not partisan; 1t is in- dependent. It recommends that it's members enroll as voters and affilI- ate themselves with the political parties of their choice.
 It believes with Madison that "a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives" and so makes the education of women in government and politics It's par amount consideration.
 It has adopted certain standards of efficient government and of public welfare in government which 1t hopes eventually to see transformed into custom or written into law. It stands for law enforcement but be- lieves that in a democracy, good government can be achieved only through good citizenship. It helps women to make good use of their citizenship.
 The league needs the membership of every woman voter and every woman who desires to become voter in Jefferson county, who takes her citizenship seriously as a public trust and wishes to use 1t wisely and for the benefit of her commit nity. The annual dues are very small. Those who wish to join will be most welcome at headquarters, Mezzanine floor. Hfllman hotel, telephone Main 5SSS6. The office hours of the ex- ecutive secretary are every week day from Il to o'clock and by appoint ment.

present: President, John Ponder, Mil
ton; w. V. COsden, Dover; Ed. Will

]. D. Reynolds, Middletown; Charles
P. Dickey, Stanton; Robert ]. Allen,

man. Plans were perfected to start
the membership drive following the
visit of Aaron Sapiro, the foremost
cooperative marketing expert of the
nation. Mr.. Sapiro will speak in this
State from November goth to 25th
and the drive will begin on November
26th. The plan of the publicity Com
mittee was approved which is to pub
lish Farm Bureau Special Edition in
New Castle County and to publish
one page of Farm Bureau News each
week in a paper in each of Kent and
Sussex County. Delaware was of
fcially represented at the National
Dairy Congress at Syracuse, New
York, October 5th to 10th, by Mr.. I'D.
Reynolds of Middletown, and Mr.. E.
H. Donovan of Brenford, two of the
five delegates who were appointed by
President Ponder of the Farm Bu-
reau. Mr.. Roland G. Handy, the Del
aware Representative of the Eastern
States Farmers Exchange gave a
short talk on the quality of the feed
bought thru the pool and also on the
service that has been obtained thru
shipments in train loads. Mr.. Handy
stated that at no time would the
qaulity of the Eastern States Feed be
inferior to that which was manufac-
tured last year. No substitute of &
cheaper grade will be used in this feeC
such as cottonseed meal substituted
for gluten. Cottonseed meal being
higher in protein if substituted fol
gluten would keep up the protein re
quirements at a saving in price bu
would make an inferior feed becaus
a surplus of cottonseed effects tn
health of the cattle. At all times tn,
same ingredients will be used and il
the same proportion that was origin
ally used thereby insuring the buye
of high quality feed. Record tim
has been made in getting orders thr
to the buyers. Cars have come thr
from Peoris, Illinois, to Delawar
points in five days, which is just one
half the time that was required las
year. This service has been achieve
by trainload shipments whereby car
come thru singly last year. Ther
has been circulated a false report q
to the pay that the members of tn
Executive Committee of the Far
Bureau receive for their services.
might be said for information of thos
: who are interested that these men n
I ceive nothing except their expense
which is carfare and one meal. II
stead of being paid we'll as some pei
| pie have limited these men sacrifit

to attend these meetings in helpin
to promote the welfare of this farm
