WOMEN VOTERS ISSUE CALL FOR NATIONAL EVENT i i Pan-American Conference io Join With Convention April 20 to 29. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The call to j the third annual convention of the Xa-1 tlonal League of Women Voters and the Pan American Conference of Women, to be held in Baltimore, Md., from April 20 to 29, has just been issued by the board of directors from the league’s Washington office and reads: “The National League of Women Voters calls its affiliated and associate members to send delegates to the third annual convention of the league at the Hotel Belvedere, Baltimore, from April 24 a to 29. p “The league calls women from all the Americas to meet in conference from April 20 to 23 on subjects of special concern to women—education, child welfare, women in industry, prevention of traffic in women, civi land political status of women and international friendliness.
PEACE AMONG NATIONS FIRST. “Peace among nations is essential to the work that women have most at heart. A definite step toward the maintenance of peace has been taken by the Conference on the limitation of armament The National League of Women Voters has borne its full share of responsibility for making known to the conference the profound hope of the people of this land that war may cease. But this hope can never be wholly realized until friendly cooperation for common ends takes the place of international rivalry. The league believes that friendliness with our neighbor countries will be stimulated and strengthened if women from all parts of the Western Hemisphere gather for sympathetic study of their common problems. “In the third annual convention of the league Its members, rejoicing over the successes of the past year and earnestly mindful of the things that are yet to be done, will have opportunity to determine together their plans for the coming year. “The league needs the counsel of all its workers. “Its usefulness has been made clear. Its field for service is wide. It has faith in the ideals of government by the people and zeal for their fulfillment. Its goal of intelligent, conscientious, effective citizenship will be won only by wisdom and consecration. “The league calls you to come and give of your best.” At both convention and conference will be discussed child welfare, efficiency in Government, women in industry, social hygiene, civil and political status of women, food supply and demand, education and legislation. In addition there will be the 'usual convention program, including elect! nos national officers and adoption of the league's program for the coming year. P A X-A HER! C A X CONFERENCE SCTIEm'EE. In including as part of its convention the Pan American Conference of Women the league is but carrying out the purpose expressed in its constitution “to promote education in citizenship and the public discussion of civic reforms.” Mrs. Maud Wood Park points out, “Women’s distinctive interests—home-making, children, human welfare—are cooperative and in no sense competitive. What the women of one country have learned concerning, these vital subjects is equally helpful to the women of every other country. In ■pooling’ women’s knowledge of these subjects In which they have a common Interest all are benefited. Besides this, there Is created a friendliness, a sense of cordiality, through meeting and discussing together these problems that affect us all. This hag been recognized in the cordial cooperation we have had from the State Department.” Women are evincing great interest in the Pan-American conference and acceptances of the invitation sent by the league through the T'nitcd States Department of State to the governments of South and Central America, Mexico, Canada. Cuba, Porto Rico and Haiti are already being received at the league headquarters in Washington. s.ady Nancy Astor, chairman of the consultative committee of women's organizations of England, in a letter to Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of the National League of Women Voters, has sent the expressed opinion of thirty-two national women's groups of England in a resolution on disarmament adopted on Nov. 24, 1921.
LIMITATION' OF ARMAMENTS I KG ED. The resolution reads: ‘‘That the undermentioned societies, believing that great armies and navies are a menace to the peace of the world and an unwarrantable burden on the people, urge His Majesty's government to do all in its power to achieve general limitation of armaments, by agreement on the matter with other nations and by promoting a policy of inteiyiational cooperation whereby the security of states may be assured without resort to force. They further urge that the British representatives at Washington and within the League of Nations advocate this policy, and they welcome Joyfully the expression of convictions akin to their own from the women of America.” The letter accompanying the resolution is signed by Lady Astor, chairman and president; by Miss Pieton-Turbervili. vice chairman, and by Lady Gaiway, secretary of the consiilatlve committee. Expressing the appreciation of the League of Women Voters for the cordial words of cooperation embodied in the resolution, Mrs. Park in her reply extends a cordial invitation to Lady Astor to attend the Pan-American Conference of Women, which is to meet in connection 'with the third annual convention of the league next April “with the idea that such a conference will have a definite helpful effect upon international friendliness.” “It gives me pleasure,” writes Mrs. Park, “to extend to you a cordial Invitation to attend this conference and help us further the feeling of friendly ..cooperation between the women of Canada, the United States and the republics of South and Central America. “We earnestly hope that yon can he with us and we feel that your presence will be especially helpful because the ■women of America still lovingly claim you even while they take pride Un the recognition which the land, ©t your adoption has given, youd* | t

EDITOR’S NOTE —Can the living communicate with the dead*? This fascinating tale deals with that big question. It is a skillful piece of entertainment, filled with surprising twists and vivid as a three-act play. Spirit connection becomes an aid in untangling an apparently unsolvable mystery. The story is different from tire kind you usually read, and will be altogether worth while. Start at beginning and read each installment in order. CHAPTER I. Myra’s fingers were held warmly in In Arthur's hands. Miss Campion had not expected that Mr. Brownson would take such an advantage of the medium’s order to touch hands lightly on the fable in the dim room. She was sure his other hand did not press as closely. The thrill she felt at contact warned her to withdraw them gently, but that would havp broken the circle. So she was glad he could not see her color ebb and flow to the flux and reflux ol his unconscious pressure. No word of love had been spoken between them, but they understood—Myra understood and was happy. She scoffed when her mother urged her to attend Mrs. Atwater's last seanee in Chicago before her departure to New York. “Only try to believe, daughter. If you knew the consolation I receive from the Beyond.” ‘Yes, mother, if 1 try hard enough. 1 know I will hear a message like yon ” “No, dear. I do not hear messages. 1 feel them while I see. 1 am not elairaudient. I am clairvoyant." “Not this afternoon, mother, please. Some other time. I expect Arthur.” “Arthur? It is only a week sine* yon met. You call each other Arthur and Myra ?” “He thinks we met Tn France.” “I should think you would have remembered him “I tended hundreds of boys in the hospitals. Each soldier remembers his nurse. How can the nurse remember them all? I was there. He was there. We must have met.” “Myra, you too can believe easily—what you wish to believe.” On this dry retort Arthur Brownson arrived, straight, masterful, clear eyed, perhaps not genial, not humorous, but firm, dependable, who wonld not fail a friend not disappoint an enemy, a pian to trust. Looking into that face. Myra was sure she must have bem. over his bed after he was gassed at Cantigny. To her surprise Arthur Joined Mrs Farnham in urging the visit to Mrs. Atwater. So now they were In the semi darkness about the big table. Mrs. Atwater had greeted him .as a friend. Myra had not thought of him as a believer. “There 1* a slight adverse Influence present,” murmured the medium. Her remark evidently referred to Arthur, as the man and woman who had been invited to sit in to complete the circle had been introduced by the medium as “regular” and “believers.” “It may prevent the visitations.” They waited in silence. There was a weird haze of blue atmospba-p from a single small lamp. The medium seemed to pass out oi her own person: her head was bent slightly on one side as though listening for her voiees. Arthur felt Mrs. Farnham grasp his hand convulsively. “They are here,” she whispered. “I see them.” Mrs. Atwater’s voice fell into a low hum. “One on the edge of the circle,” Pause. “A newcomer into the band.’

Pause. “Not long in the Beyond.” Pause. “This one is distressed.” Pause. “A message.” Around the table there was a suppressed sigh of expectancy. Myra was tempted to laugh. She did not believe. She pitied her companions. “The message Is from B.” “Benjamin," whispered Mrs. Farnham. • “Fron; Benjamin.” echoed Mrs. Atwater. “I see him,” cried Myra's mother, “r see them all. He is on the edge of the group. Benjamin!” The medium waited impressively. Her clients were lost In awe. “A message to a woman:” Arthur felt Mrs. Faruham's pulses throb. “No?” Pause. “The message Is verj faint.” Pause. “Not to a woman?” Pause. “Oh! about a woman?” The processes of the medium intrigued Myra. Her father's name was Benjamin. Mrs. Atwater probably know that She marked that the woman always began with a vague thonght, then waited foi a client to suggest a path for further progress. No one made a suggestion this time. “The message is fainter." Pause “Oh! About this woman's ” She waited again listening Intently. “ fingers?” Apparently the answer was not prompt Myra became conscious of her own fihg ers In Arthur's warm clasp. “Yes? The woman's fingers?” Pause. “I can not get it plainly something about a woman and her fingers. It is confused. Not the woman's fingers?” Again there was a long wait. "A name?" the medium murmured. “Yes? Nylie?” No one seemed to understand Mrs. Atwater went on in gasping staccato questions. “A message to Nylie? No? Ts the name Nymle? Do I hear Nlobe? Nykle? “Her fingers? “The adverse influence Is Increasing. “The message is fainter—B-njatnLn—-a woman—fingers— Nykie? Oh, N>r ' Arthur felt Mrs. Farnham Sit erect, heard her whisper, tremulous: “I see him. It is from her father to Myra. Myra's fingers.” The girl could stand it no longer. To her it was all imposture. She snapped her fingers from Arthur and burst into a peal of laughter. The magic circle was broken. The spirits fled. A blaze of light illumined the room. Clients blinked into one another's faces. The medium awoke with a gasp. “What is it?” she cried. “The ad verse influence has broken the circle.” Mrs. Farnham's eyes were set, her figure lax. She could not stand. “Your father.” she said to the girl “1 sam him. He has passed Beyond and wo did not know. What does the message portend ?” The medium bustled to her speaking volubly, rapidly, precluding all questions. “You will know in time, .Mrs. Faroham. Communications come that way. They are vague and mysterious. Light

comes as we meditate. You are clairvoyant. You, have a great gift. Seek to put yourself under the control ol Benjamin and you will understand. The message was probably for your daughter, Rut you must be her interpreter.” CHAPTER 11. This seanee was in July, 1919. Arthur walked to their apartment. Myra was amused by her mother's bewilderment. “Don’t worry, dear,” she Bald. “The message should have promised a few thousand dollars for Myra’s fingers so ! I could support us both while I build I up a practice as an M. D.” I Mrs. Farnham sighed. She was a I small wisp us a woman, always In i black, though Myra knew of no deaths |to mourn. The girl had discovered one ! day in Indianapolis, when she was only 16, that her mother was straining body J and mind, as a dressmaker, to keep her tat school. She announced the next day I that she had gone to work In a medi* I cal publishing concern and that henceforth she would look after the house, j Gently, deftly, Myra took all burdens ion herself. Subsequently she decided to i become a physician, began by trainI ing as a nurse, then took her mother 1 and herself to Chicago where she stuil- | led at the university. When the war f broke out she joined the Red Cross, first securing for Mrs. Farnham a fore-, : womanship in a gas mask factory where she did one-third the work at three times the income of her old occupation. Myra was twenty-four now with a straight, lithe body, vigorous health and a free swing to her step. She was supporting them both and had money in the bank. Her mother, with a mind as wispy as her body, had given up the long, wearying struggle and kept her worn, rusty eyes on the life beyond, tired out, not unwilling soon to weD come her own translation. “It was a pretty message—Myra's fingers—whatever its meaning," said Arthur. "What did your vision look like Mrs. i Farnham?” “Mother can not describe her visions. I wish I had seen him. I do not recollect my father.” “Then It could not have been he. The medium said he had just entered the Beyond. If you don't remeuib*r him he must have been there a long time.” Neither answered. They were embarrased. “I am sorry," said Arthur. ‘Perhaps* 1 have called up sad memories,” “No." answered Myra. "My father Is not dead." “Your father Is dead.” exclaimed her mother quickly. “But mother, you never told me ” “I would not have known, myself, if I had not seen him and received his message."
