LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS PLAN TEA also expressed regret at his inability to be present. Mrs. W. A. Roberts, president of the Chicago Forum, actâ€" ed as toastmistress, and began by wishing the league many happy reâ€" turns of the day. She introduced Miss Julia Lathrop and Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch, with much grace and warm appreciation.. Even the chef was inspired by the occasion, for during luncheon, all lights were sudâ€" denly lowered, and huge sparkling letters of ice spelling "10 years old" were solemnly carried in, followed by many platters of illuminated frozen desserts. Tribute to Pioneers Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCullouch, one of the foremost workers for womâ€" en‘s suffrage, paid tribute to the pioâ€" neers of the movement, and to the other courageous women who have fought for it down the years naming, among others, Susan B. Anthony, Mary A. Livermore, Mary E. Holmes, Dr. Julia Holmes Smith, Myra Bradâ€" well, Frances E. Willard, Lucy Stone, Mrs. Lucy Flowers, Miss Jane Adams, and Miss Julia Lathrop. She conâ€" cluded by saying that the women of this generation were the heirs of that struggle. They have entered into the "promised land" and their. "tool" is the "consecrated ballot." Miss Julia Lathrop, distinguished as head of the Children‘s Bureau in Washington, and for many years of social service, spoke of looking forâ€" ward to the time when young men and women of fine attainments would be attracted to government service; when honest administration of the government would be of prime conâ€" cern; when certain coâ€"operation beâ€" tween schools of learning would be possible; and all services would be merged for the benefit of the human creatureâ€"especially the child.; She described the touching letters received by the Children‘s Bureau from young mothers in the rural districts, and pleaded for a continuance of the work done under the Sheppardâ€"Towner act. Either the first Jonesâ€"Cooper bill (H. R. 1195), or the Goodwin bill (H. R. 10574), introduced just recently, will accomplish this.
