Miss Clark Is Be Guest
 Colleague
MRS. L. B. CONRAD

"HE response to the call of the
 League of Women Voters to every
 state organization to send repre- sentative to Birmingham for a luncheon conference in Birmingham next Wednes- day has been most gratifying, according to those who have the affair in charge. An interesting bit of social news con corning the affair was a telegram re- ceiyed yesterday from Miss Adele Clark of Richmond, chairman of the third district on the national league board, saying she will be present. 'T have attended two conventions when Miss Clark was one of the leading fig
 ures," said Mrs. Richard Johnston. Both at the Cleveland convention and the one this year in Buffalo she was one of the most interesting and charm ing of the women from every state in the union. Those of tls who knew Miss Clark were so glad when she was ap- pointed to represent the third region. Coming from Richmond with all the tra- dition of the Virginia womanhood-a perfectly delightful personality and a brilliant mind she is truly of the Lady Astor type. Miss Clark is delicate in appearance, small willowy, with the most wonderful eyes one could imagine, light blue and with a wealth of dark brown hair. She is not only leader in the political and civic affairs of her state, she is an artist of note and re- garded as a miniature painter op real merit. I am glad she is coming to Ala bama, and especially to attend so i'm portant an event as a luncheon upon so important a subject as encouraging the people of the state to use their franchise"
 Mrs. Charles Bricken, another leader of note among the women of Alabama. will also be present at the luncheon. Mrs. Bricken is vice president of the Alabama League of Women Voters. Mrs. Val Taylor of UniontOwn, presi- dent of the Alabama Federation of Women's clubs, will not be able to at- tend, but is sending Mrs. E. O. Sam ders, chairman of the state federation committee on training in citizenship. Mrs. J. H. Wiles of Bessemer is bring ing delegation of several women fb om Bessemer and Mrs. l.. J. N. Comings ! is coming from Baldwin county-Ala- bama's border county-because she feels so keen an interest in the subject Of the luncheon, "How to Get Out the VOLes ME- val 1dyAOE WEVtc lV AhAAS. Nesbitt, the chairman of the luncheon,
 concerning the interest the Alabama Federation of Women's clubs feels in
 the matter: "We are certainly going
 to do our part to get the women to yote Our chairman will do her part. { We must do our part now as citizens"
 First indications" said Mrs Fisk, state president of the league, were that
 we would have more men than women
 interested and present because we had
 replies from practically all of the state
 organizations, such as Masons, edu-
 cational, medical, legal and others, so
 splendid has been their response but j the women are coming, too, and If we
 are not, able to decide upon some plan
 which will increase the interest ot the
 people in the electorate will indeed be
 disappointed" Mrs. Emmett Hildreth
 is another of the interesting women of
 Alabama who will be present. Miss
 Zola LaFroge will come from Mont
 gomery to represent Dr. Welch and
 there will be many more.
