Formed by Women

TALLADEGA, Ala, June 5
GN.SO.-When the men of Tai
ladega declined to organize a
chamber of commerce to sing the
praise of this little city, the women
took matters into their own hands
and now the men find themselves
out in the, cold.
Now the town boasts a women's
chamber of commerce, believed to
be the only organization Of It's
kind in the United States.
Seek 1000 Members
Already more than $50 women
have joined the organization, and
leaders of the movement have
launched a drive for 1000 mem
bers, according to Mrs. I. w. FL
lott, president, who said:
1--WE do not intend to ban men
members. They will be eligible
to join the association as aSSO-
ciate members. We will accept
dues from them, but they will
not be allowed to vote"
Heading the organization with
Mrs. Elliott are Mrs. r. S. Will
liamS, secretary; Mrs. S. B. Will
son, treasurer; and Mr.. L. T. Hub

first acts after election was to
pay a visit to the chamber Of COM
merce offices at Birmingham,
where they made a first-hand in
vestigation of the methods used
in running a civic organization Of
that kind.
Chief aims of the organization
will be development of better roads
and encouragement of tourists,
Mrs. Elliott asserted. An office
will be opened shortly, she said,
and a full.time executive Secre.
tary will be hired.

Already the movement has at
tracted widespread attention over
the South, and numerous letters
have been received from women
in other cities interested in start.
ing a similar organization in their
cities. Mrs. Elliott said:
First of all, we have our
local duties to perform, and
then we may consider helping
