| WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1923 11 FOR FUNDS CLUB WOMEN BACK ANNUAL RED CROSS DRIVE Illinois Women Voters League to Convene in Chicago November 21 HE third annual convention of the Illinois League of Women Vot- ers will be held at the Congress hotel, November 21-23 inclusive, an an- nouncement which interests thousands of women in the state. Individual sessions of the various de- partments of the league will feature the convention. The department of effici- ency in government, child-welfare, edu- cation, living costs, international co- operation to prevent war, social hy- giene, citizenship, uniform laws con- cerning women and women in industries are some of the very important sec- tions. y . Dr. Anna Garlin Spencer, of New York, will have many interesting things to tell the members of the league con- cerning her own experiences. Then, Dr. Allen Potter, commissioner of public welfare for Pennsylvania, will prove a specially interesting speaker, because of the similarity of her position to that of our own Mary E. McDowell. Perhaps the work of the positions themselves isn't exactly similar, but as the names of them sound alike, everyone will want to find out just how Dr. Potter's work is akin to that of Mary McDowell. It is usually very interesting to hear an- other state's version of something in which we all are interested. Then, Mrs. James Paige, who is a member of the senate legislature of Minnesota, will tell all about the Gophers in politics. Miss Jane © Addams, Julia Lathrop, president of the League, Mary Mec Dowell, Commissioner of Public Wel- fare, Mrs. Henry Ward Cheney, and Judge Mary Bartelme are also on the list of speakers.
