She NODDED. "He told

LONDON, Aug. 15.-Labor party women in England, not content with having used their new-founo suffrage to such good advantage tc their party in the May election, are diving with renewed interest into the work that their success at the polls has left for them.
 An efficient organization of wom- en within the party that worked day and night during the campaign is left over to continue the rather more prosaic task of helping to carry out the party promises.

 Labors proposals for world peace with the projected visit of Prime Minister Macdonald to Washington in the fall, has the heartiest sup port of all the feminine laborites. Leaders of the party organization admit that the concentration of English flappers at the polls on the possibility of warless future has been one of the greatest factors in arousing public opinion to the support of international peace.

BRITISH LABOR PARTY WOMEN FOLLOW UP SUCCESS AT POLLS

sentatives from the labor party
 the Trades Union congress, the Cc- operative union, the Cooperative guilds, and other labor organiza- tions, the women of the party are represented on the Women's Peace crusade. A month before the cleo tion the crusade held an all-party demonstration for the return of a parliament of peacemakers.
 The crusade is continuing it's work through the normal channels of inter-election times, drawing the line at no party, no group, no creed. Beside the labor women who are cooperating with the in- ternational movement are the Brit ish Federation of Youth, Ethical union, Jewish Peace society, Na- tional Union of Teachers, Society of Friends and the Young Women's Christian association. The British organization cooperates with the American Conference for the Cause and Cure of War, which has had a long life in the United States un- der the leadership of Carrie Chap man Catt.
 Leaders of the women's section of the labor party sponsor an annual conference of labor women who meet to plan the years program of education. Following this confer ence, local groups organize their own meetings and conduct classes for working women on the func- tions of parliament, the progress of legislation and other general politi- cal questions, in addition to ques- tions relating especially to women, such as maternity classes, child welfare discussions and courses in family hygiene.
 Dr. Phillips has already received application from 5000 representa- tiyes who plan to attend the con- ference next spring, and one of her greatest worries is to find 8 hall in London that will accommodate the 1880 conferees.
 Now that the rush of campaign literature is over and the victori- ous labor candidates are safely en- sconced in the House of Commons, the editorial division of the party is publishing series of pamphlets on subjects of particular interest to working women. These publica- tions deal primarily with subjects on which there have been queries from the women themselves.

Commander of Aerial Map pers Tells Chamber of
 Need for Facilities

Juneau, ideally situated for be- coming the base of aerial naviga- tion in Southeast Alaska and be- tween Seattle and interior points, needs first class airport with landing facilities for both land and sea planes, Commander A. w.
