'feillUT chairman of the National League of Women footers, who Is to lead a conference dealing with ,,.fche "Political Status of Women," has said: * "We know that women have particular desires, hopes which are peculiarly their own. Ideals which their habits* of thought and life have developed., within them. It is of the utmost importance for all women to draw closely together, so that those who think and are able to formulate constructive ^ programs may give to their groups, their communl- I . * lies, the highest interpretation of the woman's point of view." ^ ^ The round-table conferences are to be held on 20, 21, and 22. Sunday, April 23, a mass meeting Is planned, which will be addressed by r||he Pan American delegates, the general subject : |>elng "Leaders Among Women." This topic ^ Should call forth not only Inspiring stories of the ^ (women whose names are recognized in the history tof the Americas, but news of the great women „ '?•: jof our own day, pioneers of this generation, who are making the way easier for the women and phlldren who are to come. On the evening of April 24 a banquet will be fceld. There will be speeches by eminent men and women of the United States and by the Pan M * American delegates. The general subject of these ppeeches Is to be "International Friendliness." The next three days will be given to sessions ©f the annual convention of the National League X* of Women Voters. To these meetings the I'aa --American guests are cordially invited, and all the ; fil privileges of the floor will be accorded them ex- * . <*" cept a vote. js- < The program for the conference will not dee# until April 29. Plans are being made for the entertainment of the delegates during the closing days, and many groups and Individuals have ex» pressed a wish to extend hospitality in some form to the visitors. Bryn Mawr college has Invited the league to bring its guests to the college for a day, when Dr. M. Carey Thomas, Its president, will give them a luncheon. Goucher college, In Baltimore, also wishes to throw open its doors to the conference guests and extends a cordial offer of hospitality sad co-operation. Other special features that have been planned The invitation to Annapolis, the capital city of Maryland, comes from the governor of the state, who will receive the delegates. •-visit to tike United States Naval academy will be Included In the program of the day. The day In Washington will be given largely to visiting places of Interest--the Capitol, the Pan American Union, and other public buildings. In the evening a mass meeting will be held, at which prominent speakers will discuss "What the Woman of the Americas Can Do to Promote Friendly Belations"--a subject which embodies the guiding thought of the entire conference. " Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of the National League of Women Voters, has said that women ace instinctively ready to work together for the filings that they wish to accomplish, because their Interests are-co-operative rather than competitive. "Women's distinctive Interests," Mrs. Park said, *ire in common--home making, children, general Welfare--whereas men's distinctive interests are sometimes of necessity conflicting and have to be settled by compromise. There is nothing about the ordinary occupations of women which is competitive. To illustrate, if the women of one nation ale able to secure a child-welfare measure, and, to develop and improve their work along these lines, their step in advance is a help and not a hindrance to the women of all other nations. The occupations and Interests of women are the occupations and interests of peace, and lend themselves readily to co-operation." While the leaders of the round-table conferences will prepare outline programs covering the topics under discussion, they have agreed that these programs should be informal and elastic, offering ample opportunity for free expression of Ideas. Miss Julia Wade Abbott of the United States Bureau of Education, will be In charge of the conference on "Education." Speaking of the plan for this conference. Miss Abbott says: "It is significant that the women of the Western Hemisphere should come together at this time to discuss education In Its relation to the welfare of women and children. This conference should help define what is meant by the term 'American education.' For the term American education should he applied not alone to the 48 different state systems in the United States of America. American Should define an education that is based upon the common needs and interests of the people in this New World: in Canada, In the countries of South America and Central America, and In the United States of America. On this side of the water we are more or less free from academic traditions. As women, we have been the first teachers of the race, and with us education has always been related to life. Is It too much to hope that because we bring an untrammeled point of view to this conference we may make a real contribution to education? In discussing educational conditions In the different countries the efficiency of the schools may be tested by the degree to which they are providing for the great objectives of education--health, practical efficiency, citizenship and the enjoyment of leisure." Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the Bureau of Women in Industry of the United States Department of Labor, will be the leader of the conferonce on "Women in Industry." She says: "The conference will be interesting to the women In industry because of the large Import and export of commodities produced in South American countries and in the United States. Women In the Industries of all these countries are faced with common problems which must be solved in co-operation. Industrially the Americas are linked and the standards of one must affect those of the Other. For instance, in both the South American ties which are manufactured In the homes. Home work In these lines is not what It was before the development of Industry when all the spinning, weaving and the making of clothes, shoes and gloves, and most of the food products which are now made In the big stockyards, were manufactured In the home. The difference In home work now and then Is that Instead of work going from the home out in the factories, the work is now collected in the factories and taken to the home, finished and carried back to the factory. The poor conditions which usually surround home work, the child labor which enters into it, the impossibility of regulation by law either as to sanitation or hours of labor, and the competition of low wages, all militate against the health, happiness and efficiency of the individual, the industry, and the community." The conference on the "Prevention of Traffic in Women" la to be led by Dr. Valeria H. Parker, executive secretary of the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene board. Dr. Parker speaks of the plan as follows: During the past three years the United States government has been expending generous sums of money for social hygiene purposes. The women of the United States have supported the government program actively. They recognize that much remains to be accomplished and are determined to use every effort to prevent the re-establlshmeut of the vice districts closed during the war. These are many vexatious problems connected with the abolition of the social evil. Miss Grace Abbott Is to lead a conference ctt "Child Welfare." Miss Abbott is chief of the children's bureau in the United States Department of Labor. She says of the conference: Latin Americans interested in the problems of child care took the initiative in calling a Pan American Child Welfare conference in Buenos Aires In 1916. Its objects were to establish and cultivate a common understanding of these problems among those who are specialists in that field. A second meeting of the congress was held In May, 1919, In Montevideo. On both of these occasions students and workers in the field of child care in the United States failed to appreciate the opportunity which the conference offered for comparison and co-operation in the work, as welJ as for Pan American acquaintance and understanding. This Invitation to the women of North and South America to join with the League of Women Voters in the discussion of child welfare and other common problems Is therefore a peculiarly happy one. •"The Conference on Child Welfare will have before It the problem of public provision for (1) snaternlty and Infancy, (2) child hygiene, (3) child labor and Industrial problems affecting children, and (4) children In need of special care--the dependent, neglected, defective and delinquent children. It Is hoped that formal papers can be all but eliminated and informal discussions and exchange of experience and plans can be relied upon to make the conference one of really practical value. It ought to be possible to work out as a result of these meetings what may be regarded as Pan American standards in these several fields of child welfare, which will be an expression of what the women who represent the young, rich and powerful republics of the New World hope they may secure for all the children of the American republics. It may be that out of this meeting there will be developed a national rivalry In the care of children and, in consequence, of the quality of the citizenship. In such rivalry there will be only rejoicing on the part of all as the standard Is pushed higher and higher." •The Civil Status of Women" will be the subject Of a conference led by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney general of the United Boy Is Convicted of Murder, With flirt ae Accessory--Pitifully In . t-ews With Each Other-- Was Not Even Wild. y*-; V-* Atlanta, Ga.--Since time Immemorial women have wanted things beyond their reach and men have sacrificed themselves to gratify the wishes of women. So it was In the Garden of Eden, when the apple appealed to Eve; so It was when Cleopatra's ambition lured Antony to ruin. Circe changed men into beasts with her beauty. Helen of Troy sent them forth to fight aad die --history is seared with the consequences to the men who risked their lives that, women's wishes might be gratified. In today's variation on the ancient theme--for there Is a new form ef It Illustrated every day--out of a youthful romance--the Infatuation of an impressionable boy for a handsome gtri --came larceny, burglary and flffflUy murder. Over the head of the boy the noose is suspended; before the eyes of the girl is the gridiron shadow of prison bars. Though each blames the other for the plight they are in, they are pitifully in love, and when the boy was Wrought to trial charged with murder, and the girl Involved as a possible accessory, they sat side by sl4a aXEecttonateiy. W, Net Kven WikL t ? Tills Is the story of Frank P. Du Pre, the Peachtree bandit, and Betty Andrews of the "Chu Chin Chow" chorus. Frank was seventeen yfearr old when they met In Atlanta t$ro years ago; she, sixteen, the child of divorced parents, struggling for a place in the spotlight of the stage; he the son of respected, refined parents, and not even considered wild. But last month he broke into two Jewelry stores, looted them, shot and killed Irby C. Walker, a Pinkerton detective, and In his flight wounded City Comptroller B.

Physician after physician applied remedies, but even parliamentarians and newspaper; were unable to place their finger on the pulse that would respond. As it appears today, It was a spasmodic wave due to the ebb and flow of the tide of readjustment that was bound to follow a disturbance such aa the Great War caused. Psychologically It waa bound to change; there was certain to be a reflex movement that would bring agricultural conditions back to the place where they normally and rightly belong. Efficiency and sound business judgment are needed more in agriculture today than ever before and are as important to the farmer as to a railroad company, er to a great steel corporation. The farmer must endeavor to secure an equal footing in the competition for a lower cost of production. In Western Canada the farmer has come through the dark era with that fortitude and determination so peculiar to a new country, and Is meeting the changed situation with energy and a smile. In Western Canada the farmer Is not hampered by an annual overhead expense of heavy Interest on high-priced land. He Is able to produce at a minimum, because his land value seldom exceeds $50 an acre. Owing to the fact that he Is farming land the price of which is from $25 to $50 an acre, producing crops of wheat running from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, and other grains in proportion, he Is able to produce at a low cost. In addition to this, a fact which should not be lost sight of, is the large area that he can farm at low cost, giving him an added advantage In reducing the cost of production. The corn that the fanner folly expected to bring him over a dollar a bushel, he saw carried away to the market, and bring back a 80 or 40 cent check. Wheat for the whole of Canada averaged 88 cents a bushel In 1921 as compared with $1.62 in 1920; oats 87 cents as against 58 cents; barley 47 cents as against 83 cents. Other grain prices similarly fell. While other parts of the continent, where grain-growing Js carried on. have suffered in like manner by deflation in prices, they have had to fuce a much higher cost in production, such as high rents, high-priced farms, and high taxes. Farmers had calculated on receiving war or nearly war figures for their grain and therefore were amply justified In submitting to the tax that soaring land prices set upon them. Western Canada fortunately did not suffer from Inflated land prices. Therefore, when grain prices fell, the losses sustained were not so great; they did not cut out the margin of profit, excepting In some cases where some climatic conditions caused It.

Atlanta authorities will pay rewards totaling $21,000 for the capture, for the boy Is considered the leader of a band that obtained $40,- 000 in jewels in the looting of a number of shops. At his trial Du Pre was convicted of murder In the first degree, apd sentenced to be hanged. He received the sentence smilingly. Mrs. Walker, widow of the slain men, was In court when sentence was. pronounced. "Thank God I* she exclaimed. „ Betty Wanted 92JOO Mutt The immediate cause of the Kaiser store robbery, which resulted in the killing, slaying and ultimate capture, was the desire of Betty Andrews for a $2,500 ring displayed in the window, in the bitterness of defeat Du Pre said: "She demanded luxuries of every kind, driving me to robbery to get them for her. She loved pretty things and, well--I got them for her." Yet neighbors testified that Frank was a "sissy" at school, nervous, shrinking and ultra-refined in comparison with his companions. He signed a confession involving the girl and seyen men In his crimes pawnbrokers, fences and accomplices.
