To Be Active At Both National
 Conventions

Women of Alabama who are active in the work of the League of Women Voters are looking forward with intense interest at this time to plans for both national conventions, at which the na- tional league purposes to ask both par ties to incorporate in their platforms proposals looked upon as the most con structive ever presented for the con- sideration of the great political conven- tions.
 The fact that Birmingham woman will be in charge of the national leagues activities at one of the conventions makes these plans especially momentous.
 Mrs. Solon Jacobs of this city will be in charge of the democratic conven- tion and Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru, Ind, at the republican convention. Both are former national vice pres idents. In addition to these, several members of the national board will at tend both conventions. Large head quarters have been rented in the Hol- lenden hotel, Cleveland, and in New York the league will keep "open house at the Waldorf-Astoria.
 The proposals Wplcn Will De suD- mitted to the two party conventions cali for a pledge by both parties to insure entrance of the United States into the permanent court of interna- tional justice and official participation by the United States in international conferences, both for the elimination of the causes of war and for human itarian purposes. This is the outstand ing plank; but other suggestions to be submitted by the women to the plat form makers recommend enactment of federal laws for the protection of child labor after the passage and ratifica tion of the child labor amendment, ade- quate appropriations for the home economies, women's and children's bu- reaus in federal departments and sup port of the principles of the merit sys- tenn as the basis of appointment to of- flee and of promotion in office.
