and the second asserted by Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Murray, who, as a representa-
tive of the International Council OF
Women, serves as an official agent for
$4,000, 900 women throughout the
world.
The ewoman-for-Presi slogan is
to be brought to light, it is indicated,
at the quinquennial gathering of the
International Council of Women in
Washington, D. c., next May. At that
time Mrs. Murray, who has just re-
turned to this country after tour
of the world in which she made a
special study of the advancement OF
women in their respective countries
! will undoubtedly bring the slogan

sideration and whatever action they

There are Is, ,O00, 900 women repre-
sented by the International Council

sons why a woman should be Presi-

| The male is specialized. He is spe-

Mrs Murray claims that history
and science prove that the first form
of life was female, saying that science

she can offer proof that this applied
also to the human race. THE man

Predicting the attitude of future
historians, she says: The proml-
nence of the heroes of old is to be
succeeded by the story of the real
heroism of the woman.
"The evidence is Enthusiastically that
women are biologically striving for
peace. Whether 1t is a humble mother
who protected her infant from wild
animals in caves or on the tree tops,
and even from its father; or whether
