place cleaned up. Liability insurance which
protects both the owners and the parents was
taken out. 1t costs the group $40 year.
Then the young couples went to work. The
brush was higher than their heads, the ground
sown with broken bottles and rubbish. In old
shirts and jeans, armed with axes and SHOW

such mountains of it, they finally had to hire
a big truck to finish the job.

The whole story began last April when
handful of mothers got tired of sitting on the
old stone wall of vacant lot day after day
to keep their babies out in the air. The tall
brush and tangled vines made windbreak

far from an ideal arrangement.
One mother says, Wed line up there with
half-dozen baby buggies and bunch of

 I watched an elderly negro man as he read aloud slowly, to a small negro boy: "As I would not be a slave, so l would not be master this expresses my idea of dcmocracy--' In a rev erent voice the old man said, That is what MT. Abe Lincoln said, son, sec, his name is signed to it." And there before me was the Emancipation Proclamation written in 1863.
 One hundred years ago this year. a group of women at Sen eca Falls, New York. formed an organization to plead for their rights They formed groups to speak and write for the cause of woman sufferage. In 1878. an or ganlZation of women asked that an amendment to the Constitu- tion be passed which would give women the right to vote. Should Women vote? The question br- ought rage or laughter from men. Women, men admitted. were com panions of the fireside, gems in the kitchen, but voting were bet ter left in mems hands. Every year from 1878 to 1919 this same amendment was proposed. By that time, full woman sufferage had been granted in fifteen states. Finally in August. 1920 the Nine teenth Amendment to the Con- stitution was passed. giving wom- en the right they had fought so long to gain. Men passed this window with a glance but many women stopped to read The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be de- nied or abridged by the United States or by any State on ac- count of sex" Thus Civil Rights for Women became a law.
 And there was the original draft of covenant for the Lea que of Nations, personally typed out by Woodrow Wilson follow ing the first World War. This, an effort to insure the peace, That original draft, too has been care fully preserved and is on display.
