EI SRR Su rc WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 11 WOMEN WANT BIG VOTE FOR 1924 Begin Campaign to Educate Women Voters BY B. M. VAN STEENBERG (GLENVIEW, ILL.) By means of membership campaigning and schools of citizenship, Illinois women are beginning their plans for a record vote for the presidential campaign of the coming year. The Chicago League of Women Voters' Forum, an important factor in the program-making body of the Illinois League of Women Voters, has decided that its body of women voters shall be- come responsible for its share of the increased vote. The main object, as outlined in the Forum's program, is to raise the 46 per cent vote as cast by the women in the past election, to a 75 per cent total in 1924. An excerpt from the Forum pamphlet is attracting the attention of the ef- ficient women workers. "The work of the world is done by few. "God asks a part to be done by you." A united effort on the part of the workers anticipates the awakening of the lukewarm citizen who sits at home with the idea that her one vote will not be missed. Those who have worked in local campaigns, where the turning of the tide has been one small vote, will realize the importance of convincing these sluggard citizens with the neces- sity of assuming their responsibility of casting their ballot. Teach Citizenship The forum program as outlined for the coming year holds forth the promise of ample education along citizenship lines. Representatives of all political parties will be heard throughout the year and Illinois women in public office will be honored guests at the various meetings. An invitation has gone out for all women to attend the school of citizen- ship at the University of Illinois be- ginning October 30. The program as outlined for the course is most inter- esting. The Douglas League of Women Voters, acting with the Chicago City Woman's club, registered a group of interested women in September who had the privilege of hearing such efficient spakers as Judge William Gemmill and Judge Daniel Trude. Miss Julia La- throp, president of the Illinois league, spoke on "Some Everyday Service of the Federal Government." At the Loyola university school more than 100 women registered for the course. Organize Schools Thus, schools of citizenship, fitting the women voters for their civic re- spons.bilities are being conducted in one, two or three day sessions, affording the privilege of education to the women ac- tively interested and craving for real knowledge of the functions of govern- ment and the relations of the various departments. The call has gone out from the Illinois league to its members for its third an- nual convention at the Congress hotel on November 20, 21 and 22. An attrac- tive program is arranged. The approval of the 1924 Primary and General election is the keynote of the call. The convention will offer ways and means by which the league may serve the women of Illinois, and the slogan will be a 75 percent vote of Illinois women as against the 46 percent of the last presidential election. FRISCO AWAITS LEGION THRONG Plans Elaborate Program for Convention Delegates Little routine excitement is likely to be afforded American Legion delegates and visitors to the fifth annual con- vention of the organization at San Fran- cisco, October 15 to 19. The Golden Gate city, more thoroughly interested n the entertainment of this group of veterans than in any previous conven- sion, will afford many novel attractions, nost of them never before offered by my legion convention city. Aside from the actual business of the legion, the program outlines many fea- cures. These include divisional reunions ind gatherings of regimental and other units formed to perpetuate comradeship bf the great war. Second in point of numbers to that of legion delegates is the convention of the American Legion Auxiliary, at which the women supporters O.

Thro ugh long observation and experience we have learned that follow- Ing certain simple practices will give the best results in using the telephone. Speak clearly, not too rapidly, with lips close to, butnottouching, the telephone mouthpiece. Do not attempt to remember numbers. Con- sult the telephone directory. This will avoid calling some one not wanted, which might annoy both the other person and yourself. If the telephone you are calling is reported busy, hang up your receiver and try again in a few minutes. Do not jiggle the receiver hook. If you wish to recall the operator, move the hook up and down slowly a few times. If your telephone is out of order, report it promptly and we will restore the service as quickly as possible. Go to another telephone or public pay station and call "Repair Clerk." This call is free.

The Forty and Fight Society, the legion's "play- ground," will attract a number of other delegates. None of hese delegates are 'nterlocking" and must of necessity at- rract additional visitors to the city. San Francisco will do its utmost to entertain these With many scenic wonders so close by, side trips will be an attraction that the legionnaire will be unlikely to forego. Cities across the bay, the great military reservations and fortifications, the ocean and the proximity of California's scenic splendor will attract many guests. Chinatown and Barbary Coast, though not to be seen in the light of the earlier days because of changes in the city, will still afford unusual attractions for the visitors. Activities Centered One project is the great memorial plaza, where the assembly hall in which he organization will be at work is lo- cated. Here, under one roof, can be found accomodations for the largest con- claves. Halls, committee rooms and gathering places will care for the legion- naires and auxiliaries in the one building. The city's 250 hotels, of which nearly half have been placed at the disposal of the housing committee, will afford ample quarters for all visitors. The hostelries will not advance their prices, for ac- cording to a city ordinance, owners are liable to lose operating rights and enjoy a jail sentence if found guilty of profi- guests. teering on convention occasions. Auto- mobile tourists will find especial pro- vision made for them in a huge park- ing area, one one of the military reser- vations. Lights, water, community ovens, tenting facilities and every convenience will be provided for those who live in this camp during the legion's week. Fleet to Maneuver The actual program has many novel features. Participation of the entire Pacific bat- tle fleet has been ordered by the Navy Department. This will attract scores of vessels and navy men to the city. Special reviews and events are planned in this connection, Naval aircraft will be ordered to the city to make regular exhibition flights. The great military reservations about the city insure participation of the army, and naturally this branch will strive to outdo the navy in maneuvers and exhibitions, An American Olympaid, bringing to- gether some of the fleetest runners and greatest stars of track and field, is planned. These games will include rifle competition, of such great interest to legionnaires; baseball, football, basket- ball, tennis, track, field and other games. The convention committee has been advised of participation in musical con- tests of at least one hundred bands. Vi .
