z Wl--Meu who say that the con-

be annulled are forgetting that half
of the electorate are women who
intend to see that it is not, Mrs
Henry w. Peabody. OF Beverly, Mass,
general chairman OF the womans ma
tional committee for law enforcement,
told the southeastern prohibition con-
venticn OF the Anti-Saloon league
here today.
Appearing as the first woman
speaker of the four day convention
before an audience made up chiefly
OF women, Mrs. Peabody declared
that the women OF the country "see
why the law is not being enforced
now," and that they intend TO take
part in the next election to put
things in shape so that it will be"
why all this silly drivel about
the prohibition law being nullified?"
she inquired. The wome,l are the
natural law enforcers and they win
see that this is taken into account.

When father talks too much about
personal liberty, leave him with six
children to care for for a week, then
come back and you'll find that he
has forgotten that there ever was
such q term.
Women have conspicuous place
in the law enforcement program, be-
cause they have been enforcing the
law down through the ages. They
are the mothers back of their chill

too, nave their place in the law

make her home and all that goes
with it, But she was not put mere
primarily to do only the things that
are not intended for the men. She
has a greater responsibility She
must do tine things also that men
don't do well enough.
sAnd thus led by the ten great
national volunteer organizations, that
have to do with every sphere OF
woman's field, the women intend to
take part in the next election to see
that the laws are enforced, and the

of drafting Jack Dempsey back as
;. challenger for champion Gene
Tunney was revived today with q
declaration from Tex Richard that
his current heavyweight candidates
thus far have failed to measure up
to championship quality.
Although Tom Heeney gained a
verdict over Jack Delaney in the
first section of Richards double
elimination bill, the Madison Square
Garden promoter said the victory
was not sufficiently impressive to
land Heeney the role of challenger.
As Dempsey is slated to come east
for legal tussle with Jack Kearns,
his former manager, early next
month, Richard stated he would try
to induce the Manassas Mauler to
return to the ring.
While reports were circulated that
Dempsey would engage in light
training at Orangeburg, N. Y, the
former champion 1t his residence
in Los Angeles denied he c0ntem-
plated any workouts. Dempsey saio
he planned trip to Orangeburg
only to visit friends.
