REMEMBER now how my friends used
to tell me about Prince Albert; how they
would make what sounded like the most
extravagant claims for it; and how l
would say ''Uh-huh," and proceed to fill
my pipe from the same old package. I
just didn't know!
But l found cut. One day, the store
where I buy my tobacco didn't have my
old brand. / heard another customer
standing beside me say prince Albert"
to the man behind the counter. All that
had heard about Prince Albert came
back to me in flash.

pard-Towner committee. Mrs. E. B.
Costigan was appointed chairman Of
this group. relieving Mrs. Kate Tren-
holm Abrams, and Mrs. Mark Lans-

The first measure to be pressed by
the Joint Congressional group this

will be the only measure, actively
urged by the committee during the
present session of Congress.

and the press. In 1927, the league
will seek to establish them more
widely.
Particularly we hope to reach
women in rural districts with a quick
ening sense of their Importance and
responsibility as citizens. We hope to
promote among all women a keener
realization of the responsibility of
citizens for the foreign policy of their
country as a factor for war or peace.
We hope to see the United States
finally member of the Permanent
Court of International Justice. We
hope to see the life-saving benefits OF
the Sheppard-Towner act extended by
a renewal by the Congress, and by the
various State Legislatures, of the
necessary appropriations. We hope to
make more secure, for all children,
the right Of education and Of pro-

Looking forward to the general
elections of 1928, the league will en-
courage the study of election proceed

increasing the number of informed
voters at the polls. We hope to see
more responsible participation by
women in the activities of the politi-
cal parties, especially in policy-nak-

more women qualifying for public
office, both appointive and elective,
