 Efficiency In Government
 We support the principles of the merit system as the basis of appoint ment to office and of promotion in office, and urge its extension to all the agencies of the executive branch of government.
 . We advocate the enforcement of the merit system, through legislation pro- viding for the adoption of sound methods of personnel administration, through adequate financial support of the agencies responsible for the appli- cation of the merit system.

 LEAGUE PLANKS FOR PARTIES
 Following are the blanks which the National League of Women Voters is anxious to see incorporated in the plat forms of the political parties this sum- mer: International Cooperation to Prevent
 War
 We support the proposal for the en- try of the United States into the Permanent Court of International Justice, and urge on members of the Senate the action necessary to such entry as an important step in substi- tuting law for force in the settlement of international disputes.
 We heartily advocate a policy of participation in international confer ences and of cooperation with inter national agencies both for the elimina- tion of the causes of war and for humanitarian purposes. We urge that such cooperation already begun shall be made official.
 Public Welfare In Government
 We favor the prompt enactment of federal laws for the protection of chil- dren in industry following the passage and ratification of the Child Labor Amendment.
 We favor adequate appropriations for the Bureau of Home Economies in the department of agriculture, for the Women's Bureau and the Children's Bureau in the department of labor.
 We commend the results secured un- der the Maternity and Infancy Act and urge the continuance by the federal government of this cooperation with the states for the protection of ma ternity and infancy.
 We favor recognition of the immedi- ate need of an equalization of educa- tional opportunity throughout the na- tion, and favor action in conformity with this American ideal.
 We favor the removal of legal dis criminations against women by specific measures not prejudicial to to wOmens labor laws or to social welfare legisla- tion.
 We believe that any legislation for equal rights between men and women should be drawn with the most careful consideration of each specific type of law involved, instead of attempting to deal with the subject by blanket legis- laton such as the so-called equal rights amendment. Otherwise, the complexities of the subject may cause

 When such a line of soldiers passes by one encounters many an honet, att tractive face among the rank and file. The common people, therefore!
 But among the thousands of little, trim, powdered, and otherwise femin- finely finished gentlemen who swarm the streets or sit in the cafes at all hours of the day, and who cast nasty, voracious glances at all young girls either for womanly modesty or for what is required of gentleman-among them one looks in vain for the makings of that new, glorious Italy, which flut- ters on all lips or hovers in the air like a new Fata Morgana.
 While the young men pay so much attention to their appearance and their clothes. there is something lacking in the virile nerve" which constitutes an indispensable requirement for a coun- try's healthy future. The feminine ele- ment in the. Italian nature needs to be eliminated and replaced with more mar row. But how?
 Perhaps the beginning has been made already, though the results are so far quite insignificant.

 CONVENTION DELEGATES
 REPORT


 Mrs. J. NJ. Hankins gave a most in teresting report of the Buffalo conven- tion at the league meeting last Tues day, telling of the inspiration and infor nation gained at that great gathering. Reports of the recent state convention in Gadsden were given by Mrs. J. H. Wideman. Mrs. R. A. Jones. Mrs. Bert Ingram, Mrs. J. R. Gallagher. Miss Mollie Dowd, Mrs. Rudolph Wegelin and Mrs. Charles A. Fiske. It was an- nounced that Jefferson county had four teen representatives in the convention
 Mrs. w. Norma Stuart of Bessemer, formerly of Albany, was introduced. CHARMING BOUQUETS
 The league is in receipt of three very kind thank-you letters, which provide a delightful and somewhat novel sensa- tion for the women voters. It is so pleasant to be appreciated. A great psychologist once said that woman is never at her best save in an atmos- phere of appreciation, and surely this applies to groups of women as we'll as to individuals.
 The Board of Education has written very gracious letter, thanking the league for their efforts in behalf of the school bonds. Another, which ap- pears below, has come from the library board. And yet a third letter, from the Physicians Civic league. ex- presses their gratitude for the activity of the. women voters in behalf of pub lie health. : It is signed by Drs. D. F. Talley, J. NJ. Mason, NJ. Y. Dabney, Scale Harris, Lloyd Noland, Nathan G. Clark, Stewart H. Welch, and Judee NJ r Stiles executive commit tee.

Livestock Men Declare
Decision Hurts Industry

.. A recent action of an inspector for
the United States Bureau of Animal
Husbandry, demanding that the pack
ers of the Northwest must furnish the
Pacific fleet with quality Of beef
that can be obtained only in the Mid
die West and East, has struck Sc
we're blow to the livestock industry OF
the Northwest, say leading stockmen.
The grass and hay-fed steers OF
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana
and Wyoming are no longer good
enough, according to the officials de-
cision although meat packers and live
stock men declare that all beef here
tofore furnished to the Navy has al.
ways been up to specifications and
there has never been any complaint.
They declare that the U. S. Bureau Of
Animal Husbandry is calling for a
quality not called for in the specif-
cations in the contract between the
Western packers and the Navy De-
partment.
Protests have been filed with the
Department of Agriculture at Wash.
ington of which the Bureau of Animal
Husbandry is part and livestock
men urge that all farmers as we'll as
cattlemen write their congressman re-
questing that fair stand be taken
that will not injure the upbuilding Of
the livestock industry in the North
west.
